Case Anna - Rodi Milici In the idyllic hilltop town of Rodì Milica, 45 minutes from Messina and 4km from the north coast, Case Anna is a pair of private apartments in a residence of five homes. Both have shared access to the little community's private swimming pool. Both have been well maintained. They are sold fully furnished and ready for immediate use, just as seen in our virtual tour and photography. TWO-BEDROOM APARTMENT WITH ANTIQUE CHARM The first apartment is full of character, evident in its dark wooden ceilings and the exposed stonework on its walls. You'll find a living room with a kitchen on the ground floor, and upstairs are a pair of bedrooms and a really nice bathroom with a shower. The main entrance is from the courtyard at the centre of the residence, but the guest bedroom has a back door onto the alleyway which runs behind the complex. The master bedroom has a fabulous view of the roofs of Rodì and the green hills that encircle it. ONE-BEDROOM HOME WITH ROOF TERRACE The second apartment measures 68m2, with a single open-plan living space upstairs and a bedroom with an en-suite downstairs, It has a pair of terraces – one on the roof which is built over the bathroom, and another in wood which is lower town, overlooking the swimming pool. The former gives you a little bit of sea view in the distance. The living room is a bright and cheery space, with a sturdily built and colourful kitchen including an oven, fridge freezer and washing machine. The bedroom is partially underground, cosy and warm even in the short Sicilian winters. PEACE AND QUIET IN THIS FRIENDLY RURAL SETTING Everything you'd imagine a small Sicilian village to be, Rodì Milici is rustic and ravishing. There are enough visitors in the season that some of the apartments in the residence do a good trade as rental homes, but nothing here feels like it's for the benefit of visitors. You can live on local produce and sleep and wake to the rhythms of nature. The lovely Tonnarella beach, barely ten minutes away, gives you clear waters and stunning sunsets, and the green slopes of Mount Etna and the Nebrodi Natural Park are both just around the corner. Nearby Milazzo is the gateway to the volcanic Aeolian Islands, and chic Taormina is only 30km to the south. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Renato - Furnari A huge sea-facing plot with a view of the Marinello lakes and the Gulf of Tindari, Casa Renato is an intriguing property with enormous potential TWIN COTTAGE WITH SEA VIEWS The bricks and mortar on the estate are limited to a pair of cottages. One of these has a kitchen and a sleeping area, the other a living room and a bathroom with a shower. The former is an older building, although renovated with a new kitchen in masonry and colourful tiles, and recently installed windows. The latter, while officially an outbuilding, has a French window and a lovely sea view. GROW YOUR OWN OLIVES AND GRAPES The estate spans 10,000m2 of quiet hillside land. Around fifty percent of this estate is given to a huge vineyard, now somewhat overgrown but which has the potential to be regenerated and produce a fulsome crop of grapes every harvest season. Of the remaining land, much is given to an olive grove, where approximately 350 mature trees yield 600 litres of premium quality oil every year. The whole of the estate is classified as agricultural land, which means that you could raise livestock as well as growing any kind of fruit or vegetables here if you chose. AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP AND BUILD The land's size would allow for the construction of a new home measuring up to 110m2, if you have the means to do so. It would certainly offer a spellbinding view, as well as a practical base from which to oversee the growth and collection of the fruit. A neighbouring plot is anticipated to come on the market in the very near future, giving the opportunity to expand the holding even further.

Casa Marinella - Mistretta A fabulous value-for-money proposition for a buyer with a little time to invest and the appetite for a renovation, Casa Marinella is a four-bedroom villa with an unbeatable view. Miles of Stunning Hillside Laid Out in Front of You On the western edges of the Nebrodi Natural Park, less than four kilometres from the hilltop town of Mistretta, Casa Marinella stands on the western bank of a dramatic valley, which plunges 400m downhill over just a couple of kilometres, directly to the rear of the house. With the mountains opposite rising up to peaks over a thousand metres above sea level, and the waters of the Mediterranean visible on the horizon away to your left, it's a magical panorama almost completely undisturbed by human activity. The two-storey villa has been built to take full advantage of this, at the top of a 4,000m2 plot filled with over a hundred olive and fruit trees, but offering an uninterrupted view over their green canopy from the ground floor terrace and the balcony upstairs. The lower level has nearly 50m2 of mostly covered patio, including an outdoor kitchen with traditional stone fireplaces and grill. This is a property which will transport you to a simpler way of life, in contact with nature and the food chain. 220M2 OF LIVING SPACE ON TWO FLOORS Of course, there is also a conventional kitchen indoors with an antique bread oven, none the less spacious and with room for a family dining table. Joining it on the ground floor are a living room whose window overlooks the valley, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Each of these last two spaces have patio doors straight out onto the terrace. On the first floor you'll find four more rooms and a second bathroom, although the fixtures for this are yet to be installed. Two of the rooms have valley views (even taking in the sea seven kilometres to the north, on a clear day), and the home is flanked by the balcony on two sides. To the rear there is another terrace, a large flat space which takes full advantage of the gradient of the land. A RENOVATION PROJECT WITH A FABULOUS PAYOFF There is a lot of work to be done before Casa Marinella can be said to be truly complete – the upper floor in particular is very much a work in progress. The walls need to be plastered and even, in some points, raised to the level of the roof. The floor is still in cement, and all of the decoration will need to be done from scratch. Of course, the advantage of this is that you can set the place up to look exactly as you would like. The ground floor could be used straight away, and indeed you could live there while working upstairs. At some point it, too, will need a fair amount of work however, with the wiring, windows and bathroom all in particular need of attention. Casa Marinella is definitely a project house – but for the sum of the purchase price and an investment around €100,000 you could own a really stunning big home fifteen minutes from the sea in one of Sicily's most underrated regions.

Casa Mariolina - Mistretta A magical place to get away from your cares and spend time in nature, Casa Mariolina is a one-storey cottage on an acre of sea-view land in northern Sicily. THE WILD BEAUTY OF THE NEBRODI PARK Sicily's largest natural park, the Nebrodi is a vast, mountainous region whose lower hills are characterised by leafy green hillsides and a quiet, unspoilt natural beauty. The estate on which Casa Mariolina has been built is a perfect embodiment of this, with sixty olive trees and all manner of wild fruits overlooking a deep valley, with views stretching as far as the Tyrrhenian Sea, ten kilometres to the north. It's a beautiful and fabulously relaxing spot to unwind and get back in touch with your friends and family. Everything is geared towards the social experience, with an open plan cottage, a deep covered veranda and an outdoor kitchen that would be a dream come true for any ambitious chef. A DELIGHT FOR ANY CHEF On a terrace slightly above the main house, back along the driveway towards the main road, a huge area has been flattened, paved with terracotta tiles, and enclosed with a handrail. Here you find the incredible outdoor kitchen, with a barbecue grill, twin wood-fired ovens and a deep vat above a fourth fireplace. Two large chimneys transport the smoke above the tiled wooden canopy overhead. There is also a sink, fridge and worktop. Absolutely everything you need to prepare a rustic feast. Outside the cottage, on the veranda, are a pair of long dining tables, and indoors are two more. You could easily feed twenty or more people at once, a testament to the role that communal living - and above all communal eating – have always played in the life of Casa Mariolina. Of course, there is also an indoor kitchen space to rustle up a simpler snack. But if you love nature and you love to entertain, this cottage in the hills would make an unbeatable place to combine the two. A VERSATILE INDOOR SPACE The open plan cottage consists of a single large room, with a lounge area that becomes a bedroom with the use of a sofa bed, a dining space in the middle and a kitchen at the far end. Two separate entrances would allow you to create a proper bedroom if you wanted to. The bathroom has a shower and is neatly finished with a clean white tile. Completing the estate, which spans three parcels of land, is a storeroom for all of the equipment necessary to maintain the land and its trees. The property is sold as seen in our photos and video, including all fixtures and furniture. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Anna - Mistretta In a 1.4 hectare estate on the lower slopes of a beautiful green valley, Casa Anna is found just seven kilometres inland, twenty minutes outside the town of Mistretta in the Nebrodi Park. Three-bedroom Property with Ample Space Indoors and Out The two-storey main house is 140m2 in size, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs, and a single open plan space on the ground floor. Three balconies give perfect panoramas of the surrounding countryside. The downstairs living room has an open fireplace, and all the space you could need for any family activity. To the rear of the house is an outdoor kitchen, sheltered by a wooden canopy, which includes both a traditional fixed oven and a more modern free-standing one. The large dining table is a magical place to enjoy meals in the summer. HUGE RUSTIC OUTBUILDING TO RENOVATE To the rear of the main house is a huge 140m2 outbuilding divided into two units, each with a separate entrance. The larger is in better condition, with a fixed oven and an exposed wooden ceiling. Behind this is a stone room that needs to be completely restored before use. The first room, next to the outdoor kitchen, contains an old-fashioned wine press that is included with the sale, as well as all kinds of equipment that can be used to help tend the estate and harvest its fruit. In fact, everything you see in our photos and virtual tour is included - there is even a tractor! Peace and Seclusion with Sensational Hillside Views This corner of the island offers the possibility to completely disconnect from modern life. It has a private water supply from both a well and a nearby spring and it would be very possible to install solar panels to give you energy independence too. The olive grove contains about 250 mature trees, and there is also a huge array of fruit trees and more than enough space to grow your own vegetables. It's an area where a car is essential, but the town of Mistretta is only twenty minutes' drive up the road. To the north is Santo Stefano di Camastra, and there are plenty of wonderful beaches within an hour's radius, none more spectacular than the golden sandy seafront of Cefalù to the west. With the green slopes of Sicily's largest natural park to explore above you and the pristine waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea below, it's a magnificent spot for lovers of the great outdoors.

Casa Gullotti - San Marco D'Alunzio A pair of properties contained within the same detached villa, Casa Gullotti comprises a fully renovated and joyfully traditional three-bedroom home on the upper floor, and a restoration project space on the ground floor. Set into the hillside, just three kilometres inland from Sicily's north coast in the lower hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park, it enjoys fabulous sea views from the windows, gardens and all three balconies. A Classic Home Beautifully Restored The upper floor is a real classic of Sicilian style. The patterned floor tiles are locally produced and a great example of the design school that finished many of the great houses of the region. You will also note the quality of the marble finishings in the two bathrooms, and the characteristic fixed oven in the kitchen, built into a solid counter that has been finished in a bright checkerboard tile. The three double bedrooms are all large, and two have their own balconies. One overlooks the sea to the north, while the other gets day-round sunshine on the souther side of the property. In the middle, facing east towards the region's spectacular sunsets, is a living room with a balcony of its own. 120m2 to Renovate The ground floor is identical in size, with a front door to the south and direct access onto the gardens. It is in need of a total renovation, including new plastering, wiring and plumbing, bathrooms, kitchen and all decoration. However, the structure of the building is sound. It is fully independent of the upper apartment, meaning that it would be perfectly possible to sell one on and cover the costs of the other, or to let one as a holiday home. The space outdoors is not well maintained but with some investment of time and/or money could prove a really sunny and scenic spot in which to spend long afternoons or eat outside in the warm summer evenings.

Casa Salvatore - San Salvatore di Fitalia Twin apartments in a large semi-detached house in the countryside of the Nebrodi, Casa Salvatore offers nearly 200m2 of interior space with up to four bedrooms, two bathrooms, twin kitchens, a living room, dining room and two entrance halls. Facing west towards the spectacular sunsets of the verdant green region, it offers some amazing panoramic views out across the valley below. You will see a carpet of vineyards and olive groves stretching out to the horizon at the top of the hills in the distance. A GORGEOUS RURAL LOCATION IN NORTH-EAST SICILY The semi-detached, 100 year-old home is found just outside the small town of San Salvatore di Fitalia, a picturesque little community on top of a ridge in the lower slopes of the mountain range. 600 metres above sea level, the house is brushed by a wonderful breeze that works with the huge, metre-thick walls of the property to keep the place incredibly comfortable even in the heat of the Sicilan summer. Outside, an 800m2 garden is planted with all manner of fruit trees, and well maintained the brickwork terrace is the perfect spot to host a barbecue, enjoy an aperitivo or just take in the views in complete peace and quiet. TWIN APARTMENTS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN KITCHEN, BATHROOM AND PRIVATE ENTRANCE The upper apartment is the more complete of the two, with some fabulous traditional floor tiles and the benefits of a complete refurbishment that took place just 20 years ago. You'll find characterful vaulted ceilings, two bedrooms and a living room with a Juliet balcony and a great view. A separate kitchen and a bathroom with a shower complete the floor plan. The ground floor is simpler, divided into only three spaces plus the bathroom. Like the upper apartment there is an entrance hall, but the remaining room has been divided into a kitchen-diner and a bedroom-living room. The decoration on this level is much simpler and you'll need to put some work into this level to realise its full potential, but the views from the patio outside and the character that radiates from this historic building will make it entirely worth your while.

Casa Pietro - Mistretta Casa Pietro is located in the municipality of Reitano in the province of Messina. It is a charming country house surrounded by greenery and with a beautiful view of the sea and the Aeolian Islands. The property can be reached along a state road in perfect condition that leads from the motorway exit of Santo Stefano di Camastra to the hills of Mistretta in just a few minutes. Driving along this road among the hills, one can enjoy a splendid view of the sea, the landscape is truly breathtaking. The property is located at an altitude of about 600 metres. It therefore enjoys a cool, breezy climate that is especially pleasant in the spring and summer months. The house is less than 3 km from the town of Mistretta and just over 5 km from the town of Reitano. Although immersed in greenery and tranquillity, the house is only a few minutes' drive from the main commercial activities where it will be possible to find groceries, shops, restaurants and bars. The sea can be reached in less than 15 minutes by car while the beautiful Palermo is just over 100km away. The international airport Falcone Borsellino can be reached in just over 1 hour. The House The property is totally fenced off. Once through the entrance gate you will find yourself in a rustic house made of typical stone with a beautiful patio from which you can enjoy a magnificent view. From here, continuing along a stone corridor adorned with beautiful flower beds with many ornamental plants, you will find yourself on a large veranda terrace equipped with an outdoor kitchen and oven. The house is nestled among the hills, the feeling is that of being engulfed by nature and peace. The land in front of the terrace measures approximately 1,000 square metres. On it you will find several fruit trees and ornamental plants as well as an enclosure for chickens. The house has its own well and a reserve water tank of 9,000 litres. The property consists of two floors. The living area is on the first floor while the sleeping area is on the floor below. The living area has 2 entrances. The first entrance is located near the veranda terrace and gives access to a small kitchenette. Continuing on, one enters the living area which has a fireplace and a second entrance leading to the patio. The first floor also has a bathroom with shower. On the patio there is a staircase leading down to the sleeping area. This has a separate entrance not connected to the first floor. Here one can find 2 bedrooms and a further bathroom. On this same level there are then two small storerooms used today one as storage for gardening tools and one as storage for suitcases or little-used objects. The property is inhabited and habitable. Nevertheless, in our opinion, a general freshening up of the house could considerably improve the aesthetic condition. The windows are partly aluminium without double glazing and partly wooden, also without double glazing. Potentially, the house is a little paradise. With some renovation work, one could have a rustic stone house at an affordable cost. The real attraction of this country house is definitely its location with its panoramic view of the hills, the crystal clear sea and the Aeolian Islands in the background. Enjoying the sunset on the veranda or organising an open-air dinner under the stars, admiring the spectacle of nature that surrounds you could be an experience hard to forget. Having all this always at one's disposal for many could be a real dream The house is served by: Electricity: Active Water: Well with 9,000 litre cistern Hot Water: Boiler Sewer: Black Well Internet: Good network coverage, download speed 40 mega
