Casa Sabrina - Palermo A three-bedroom family apartment in a convenient and friendly suburb of Palermo, Casa Sabrina is found on the fourth floor of an apartment building served by an elevator. 154M2 OF INDOOR SPACE AND THREE SUNNY BALCONIES The spacious apartment is laid out around a large living area, combining both a dining room and lounge. This is brightly lit from a large window and a pair of glazed doors that open onto the largest of the balconies. It looks west and gives you a great vantage point from which to admire the sunsets over Palermo's steep surrounding hillsides. The kitchen opens off this living area through a sliding glass door, keeping a modern and sociable feel to the design. Three bedrooms are served by two roomy bathrooms, each of which has its own walk-in shower. The master bedroom has a large closet, and one of the others has a private balcony. All of these are comfortably large enough to accommodate double beds, wardrobes and other storage as needed. The third would make a great option for young children. All of the fittings, including genuine parquet floors and the full-wall shelving unit in the living room, are included in the sale. The beautiful modern kitchen with ample workspace and wooden breakfast island is not included, but the sellers would be prepared to consider a fair offer. A FRIENDLY AND RELAXED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD Casa Sabrina is found in Belgio-Strasburgo, a suburban district of Palermo which is noticeably less frenetic than the city centre. This is evidenced by more greenery, like the trees and grass visible from the apartment. A variety of shops and services are within a short walk, including supermarkets, schools, pharmacies and restaurants. A regular market is held on the street outside the apartment, letting you support local suppliers while buying excellent produce at affordable prices. UNBEATABLE TRANSPORT LINKS Motorists will be able to reach the old town in only ten minutes thanks to the proximity to the city's ring road. Alternatively, travelling north you can be at the spectacular Mondello beach in 15 minutes or the airport in 20. The apartment comes with two off-street parking spaces within the residential complex. If you prefer not to worry about finding a parking spot at your destination, public transport is right on hand. As well as being connected to many local bus routes, the area is served by the Palermo Francia train station, just 200m from your front door. This will bring you to Centrale station in only 20 minutes, or to the airport in 30. All of Palermo's other amenities, including the football stadium and golf course, are within easy reach.

Casa Pescatore - Porticello In the fishing village of Porticello, a stone's throw from the sea, Casa del Pescatore is a one-bedroom holiday home that you'll never want to leave.

The kitchen is fitted with an electric hob and a very stylish pine work surface, while the bathroom has a dual purpose tub with a splash screen and shower attachment. The bedroom is cosy by night and bright in the day, with dual exposition to the south and east. The living room is even better lit, thanks to French windows which lead you onto the small balcony that overlooks the street outside. SALT WATER ON THE WARM BREEZE AND THE SOUNDS OF THE MARINA As the crow flies, the building in which Casa del Pescatore is found is only 150 metres from the sea in a couple of minutes. You'll find a busy fishing marina which supplies a thriving market where every morning you can buy the very freshest local catch for your lunch or dinner. A couple of minutes to the south is a lovely sandy beach, and if you head north you'll pass a seafront square filled with great restaurants on your way to a charming cove that's another great swimming spot. Further afield, Porticello is on the eastern side of a dramatic rocky headland which is lined with coves and bays of all kinds, which you'll never tire of exploring. The neighbouring town of Santa Flavia is only a kilometre away, and here you'll find supermarkets, all kinds of other shops and a train station. This last will connect you to Palermo in only twenty minutes. BRIMMING WITH POTENTIAL AS A RENTAL INVESTIMENT The vendors have not lived full-time in Casa del Pescatore, using it for short holidays when they can but also putting it on the market as a rental property. All of the necessary legal documentation is in place to allow you to do the same, and high-season prices for a one-bedroom apartment in Porticello can reach €800 a week or more. Whether you imagine yourself working remotely with the windows wide open and the sound of the waves soundtracking your efforts, taking romantic holidays by the sea with a partner or simply investing in Sicily's burgeoning tourist economy, this cute little home is a gem.

Tenute La Rocca - Collesano Three kilometres south of Collesano in the Madonie Natural Park, Tenuta La Rocca is a huge country estate with a guest house, agricultural buildings, a house to restore and a fully functional restaurant. A WORKING RESTAURANT WITH OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATION In the past, Tenuta La Rocca was a popular out-of-town restaurant, with a pair of dining rooms capable of holding over eighty guests in a single service. It did good trade with locals and tourists alike, especially on festivals and feast days when it would provide set menus to large family groups, and had review scores over 4.5/5 on both Google and Tripadvisor. Everything you need to reopen the business is included in the asking price, including two fully equipped dining rooms, recently renovated bathrooms and a 40m2 working kitchen. Built around a spacious courtyard, the restaurant building also features seven guest bedrooms, which give it enormous potential if well marketed as a venue for weddings or other events. Some investment will be needed on the renovation of this accommodation to make it the irresistible prospect it deserves to be, but if you're able to do this you could have a sensational and versatile venue on your hands. ELEVEN HECTARES OF PEACEFUL LAND The estate is a vast plot on the north-western side of one of the intermediate hills in the beautiful Madonie Natural Park. This gives you great views of the mountains above you and the sea below, visible on the horizon beyond the town of Campofelice di Roccella. The estate is not currently farmed, but a pair of enormous barns give you more than enough room to keep livestock (one of these was previously a stable building) and store crops (the other was a hayloft). With over 27 acres of land at your disposal you won't be short of space, whatever type of activity you have in mind. A RUINED COTTAGE TO RENOVATE Towards the higher end of the estate is the ruin of a 100m2 house, which would be a perfect renovation project. It would eventually give you and your family the chance to live on-site with the comfort of being several hundred metres away from the restaurant and accommodation. A lot of work will be needed, but in the end your investment would be rewarded with a home built completely to your own specifications and some lovely sea views.

Appartamento Porto - Palermo A modern studio flat on the eighth floor of a Palermo block, Appartamento Porto would make a very convenient base in the city. A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE STUDIO WITH A GREAT BALCONY The apartment measures 30m2, and over 25m2 of this is given to a single open-plan living space. The majority is a rectangular area with space for sleeping, work and relaxation. At the far end is a bathroom with a tub and shower attachment, and a kitchenette. Along the long side of the space, a balcony follows the southern wall for the entire length of the flat. Two windows look out onto this, and a double French window gives you direct access. It's just a few centimetres too low to offer a sea view to someone of average height, but if you're very tall you may catch a glimpse of the water! SOLD TURNKEY, READY FOR IMMEDIATE OCCUPATION The apartment is furnished and, although you may well want to update some of the contents, it is ready to be used straight away. There is a double bed, sofa, desk and two wardrobes. The windows are modern and efficient, with dark roller blinds to help you get a good night's sleep. The kitchenette is fitted with cupboards, a sink and a worktop. There's a washing machine and fridge. The vendor has previously made use of an electric hotplate and free-standing mini oven for cooking needs. The bathroom has a lightly patterned tile on the walls and floor, as well as the usual ceramics. AN EASY-TO-NAVIGATE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF A FASCINATING CITY The neighbourhood, unlike some of Palermo's more historic districts, is quiet and residential, although some of the units on the lower floors of the building are given to office space and other commercial uses. You will find a supermarket very close at hand, as well as many other shops, restaurants and bars. The city centre is a walkable 20-30 minutes away. Public transport links are good, with plenty of buses and a train station five minutes' walk from the front of the building. The port and the ferry terminal are especially convenient, and the airport can be reached by car in half an hour. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

A SENSATIONAL LOCATION AT THE HEART OF AN ICONIC BEACH TOWN Every morning, as the sun rises over the timeless historic centre of Cefalù on Sicily's beautiful Tyrrhenian coast, the gentle tolling of the town's cathedral bells soundtracks the locals as they amble down to the bars on Piazza Duomo. Just metres behind this enchanting little corner of Golden-era Italy is a tight cluster of houses far out of the reach of motor vehicles, linked by staircases and steep cobbled footpaths. It's here that you will find Casa Morreale, a step back in time to an era where news travelled out loud from balcony to balcony, and the scent of your neighbour's cooking wafted into your home on the gentle sea breeze. It's only a five minute amble downhill to the sea, there are all manner of shops and restaurants on your doorstep and the footpath up to the best viewpoint beneath the summit of the famous Rocca mountain is right at the top of your street.

Casa Aldo - Castellana Sicula A three-bedroom property on three floors, the rural Casa Aldo is roomy, in good overall shape and fantastic value for money. THE FEELING OF BEING COMPLETELY IMMERSED IN NATURE Built a few hundred metres outside the small village of Castellana Sicula, Casa Aldo is close enough that you can choose to walk into town, but the surrounding thicket of pine and eucalyptus trees makes you feel half lost in nature. The views from the second floor windows and the marvellous open terrace outside the first floor living room are amazing, with a vantage point over the tops of those trees to the rooftops of Castellana. However, at ground level you feel surrounded by Mediterranean woodland, the scent of the trees and the gentle chorus of cicadas acting as a kind of sensory firewall from the cares of the modern world. This is a spot in which you can lose yourself in your thoughts, your work or the company of your family and friends. STURDILY BUILT AND SPACIOUS Casa Aldo is in fact half of what used to be a giant farmhouse, a testament to the region's once-dominant agricultural sector. Although it has now been turned into a twin pair of semi-detached homes, you'll still find more than enough space for even a large family to holiday in the summer, or in which to host guests all year round. The ground floor has a trio or large rooms with vaulted ceilings, once the stables of the villa and now a cool reception space that will make a great first impression. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor follows a similar plan, with a landing that flows into a living room and then a dining room. There is also a kitchen, another bedroom and another bathroom. The top floor has two large bedrooms and a bathroom. INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL TO MODERNISE AND EVEN EXPAND The property is in good overall condition, but some investment will be needed to repair a small damp issue. The infiltration can be eliminated by cutting back some large pine trees whose needles have clogged the gutters, but you will have to make good some damage. Aside from this, you might want to spend some money modernising the bathrooms and kitchen, but there is no urgent need to begin any renovation work. We think it would make a sensational summer base for the entire family, and there is even the possibility of buying the adjoining home and some of the surrounding land. A really inspiring property, full of potential – ask us more about Casa Aldo today. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villette Venere - Altavilla Milicia Currently approaching the final phase of construction, the twin villas of the Villette Venere in the northern Sicilian town of Altavilla Milicia are now available for advance purchase. LARGE THREE-BEDROOM, THREE BATHROOM HOMES Each of the twin homes will give around 180m2 of indoor space, with by far the largest single area the expansive living room on the ground floor. Its 40m2 will in reality seem even larger, thanks to the large French windows which will lead out into the garden on two sides. Windows on the staircase at the front of the homes will allow for air and natural light to pass right through when you like. On this floor will also be a kitchen, store room and bathroom. Upstairs, a small landing will lead you to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom, especially large at over 20m2, will have an additional en-suite bathroom as well as a walk-in closet. All of the bedrooms will have private access to either a balcony or a terrace. Still Under Construction with the Option to Customise The villas are now fully standing, with the walls, floors and flat roof now in place. The plastering, decoration and all finishings are still to be completed, as is the preparation of the outdoor spaces. This means that buyers who act swiftly will have the option to contribute extensively to much of this process. The developers are proposing the realisation of an optional basement, with the possibility of adding over 100m2 of indoor space to the home. This could eventually be a home gym, playroom, workshop or any number of other possibilities. Another optional extra is the chance to buy a small plot of land to the front of your new home, increasing your garden from 450m2 to 750m2. Finally, and perfect for the heat of the Sicilian summer, you can even opt to install a swimming pool in your yard. But don't wait, once work is completed it will be much harder and more expensive to make changes. Perfect Location for a Rural View and Urban Convenience The plot of this development is found on the very edge of the district of Villabate, only a fifteen minute walk from the heart of the traditional town of Altavilla Milicia. The views from the upper balconies and terraces will take in some fabulous surrounding hillsides, the great blue sky of Sicily and even a little of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the middle distance. Everything you could need on a regular basis is walkable from your new home. If you want the infrastructure or culture of one of Sicily's great cities, however, Palermo is only a half hour journey away, along the motorway or by train to the east. Besides the myriad charms of this legendary metropolis, you can also reach all manner of different beaches, coves and seafront in a similar travel time. The location really does offer the best of all possible worlds. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa delle Palme - Partinico A true luxury property, Villa delle Palme is one of the best examples of a modern villa to be found in the west of Sicily. 250M2 OF STYLISHLY DESIGNED INDOOR SPACE The three-bedroom home has been built on an extra-large scale, with all of the main living spaces as large as you could possibly need. The kitchen-diner is a beautiful 7 x 7 room with a perfectly fitted kitchen, a long breakfast bar and still plenty of space for cupboards and a dining suite. The sun room at the front of the property makes for a unique lounge, with full glazing on three sides giving you the sense of sitting out in the garden. Each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. The master is especially luxurious, with a vast bedroom overlooking the green lawn to the front of the villa, and a bathroom-cum-dressing room that might genuinely be the size of your first apartment. The layout is completed by a little entrance hall and a pair of store cupboards. AN IRRESISTIBLE PRIVATE POOL Even by the standards of private pools, we think you'd have to agree that this one is an absolute beauty. Given enormous room to breathe in the ample back garden, but served by not one but two nearby pagodas, it's a 120,000 litre gem framed in a nearly white stone that makes the turquoise waters an extraordinary eye-popping colour on a sunny day. The rest of the 5,600m2 garden is no less impressive, with highlights including the row of mature palm trees that run the length of the driveway, the huge expanse of green lawn in sturdy tropical grass and the fascinating variety of ornamental plants which have been around the entire property. A pool house contains all the equipment necessary to take care of the water and the gardens that surround it. NO EXPENSE SPARED TO MAKE A SUSTAINABLE HOME The villa is blessed with direct sunlight from dawn to dusk, and the sellers have taken full advantage of this enviable natural gift. The entire roof has been covered in photovoltaic panels, which combine to generate a huge 16kW of power. There is also a 10kW storage battery, to make sure that as little as possible of what is generated ever goes to waste. There is also an autonomous water supply: a well rises in the back garden and this is used to fill the pool, supply the house and even fill a gigantic 100,000 litre cistern which ensures you against even the longest of dry spells. CONVENIENT FOR BEACH, CITY AND AIRPORT The nearest sandy beach is just a ten minute drive away, and the town of Partinico even closer. With beautiful attractions like the seafront of Castellammare del Golfo, the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, the archaeological site at Segesta and Sicily's largest city, Palermo, all within easy reach, the location of Villa delle Palme could hardly be better. You can reach the nearest airport in just twenty minutes. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Tenuta Barbera - Campofelice More than just a large family house which needs some work but offers incredible potential, Tenuta Barbera is a working agricultural business, growing a huge crop of Sicily's most iconic produce 40,0002 LEMON FARM, FULLY OPERATIONAL AND WELL-MAINTAINED The huge estate has been planted with around five thousand White Zagara lemon trees, beautifully maintained and generating three harvests a year. There is a comprehensive sprinkler irrigation system, and the roads that criss-cross the orchard are all paved. On a good year for lemon prices, the value of the annual crop can approach €90,000, and even in a typical market it will be well over half that. As the property is sold including a 55m2 barn, a working Goldini tractor and all of the other equipment necessary to manage the agricultural operation this is very much an investment opportunity as much as a real estate one. Or you could take the plunge, move to Sicily and know that you're also guaranteeing your own job opportunity. TWO-STOREY FARMHOUSE WITH HUGE POTENTIAL The home offers over 200m2 of indoor space, split into two separate apartments with an external staircase leading up to the first floor. At present this is unfinished, with the buyer needing to invest around €60,000, we believe, in order to divide the spaces, plaster, add a floor and decorate. When that's finished, however, the villa could be a huge family home that might have as many as five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The lower apartment alone, which is finished and habitable, if not in the most modern state of decoration, has two or three bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The large living room contains a fully-fitted kitchen and there is also a box room which could be a home office. The entire villa has wonderful views of the lemon groves outside. SEA VIEWS AND A STELLAR SEAFRONT LICATION The house is just 1500m from the beach of Campofelice, an idyllic sandy strip which runs for twenty kilometres from Termini Imerese to Mazzaforno. You can have the sand between your toes in just a five minute drive. Only a little trip along the coast is the magical town of Cefalù, and Palermo is just 45 minutes to the west. The building is set 100m above sea level, which means that you can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the sparkling turquoise water from your veranda, and an even better one from the first floor balcony. This is one of the most scenic properties we've ever been able to offer. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

CASA MADDALENA – SPACIOUS SEA-VIEW HOME IN SICILY'S MOST PICTURESQUE REGION, BETWEEN BEACHES AND MOUNTAINS A three bedroom property with two kitchens, two bathrooms, a huge double living room and small covered terrace, Casa Maddalena is a deceptively roomy family home in the hilltop village of Gratteri. A short drive from the fortified Mediaeval town of Castelbuono, the magnificent beach of Cefalù and the peaks of the Madonie Natural Park, this is a wonderful location in which the authentic, unspoilt Sicily is on full display. A versatile and roomy living space Previously a pair of individual homes sharing a party wall, Casa Maddalena has an unusual layout with twin entrances on parallel streets. The sloping hillside on which Gratteri has grown up means that one of these is a full storey higher than the other, and so the lowest floor is in fact part basement, with windows only on the lower, northern side of the property. At this level you will find a kitchen-diner, a bedroom and an internal bathroom. Upstairs on the true ground floor is the main entrance of the house, which leads you into the other kitchen. This connects to the second bathroom and to the long living room which has been created by combining a pair of similarly sized spaces through a broad connecting arch. From here a window offers a good view of the Tyrrhenian sea, seven kilometres to the north. Views of town, country and sea On the top floor are a pair of bedrooms, each reached by their own discrete staircase. The larger connects to a terrace which has been covered by a fixed awning. There is an abundance of space, the potential for a certain degree of flexibility in the configuration of the home, and some lovely views of the surrounding town and countryside. In the thick of village life All of the amenities needed for day-to-day life can be reached within a few minutes' walk from your front door, including grocery shops, a butcher's, bakery and fishmonger. Fruit and vegetables are sold door-to-door, and a medical centre, dentist's and pharmacy are all within easy reach.

Appartamento Assunta - Porticello With great hillside views and a convenient coastal location, Appartamento Assunta in Porticello is a great offer. Its two bedrooms, a kitchen and large living room as well as a bathroom, storeroom and corridor give you a total of 95m2 of indoor space. SUNNY AND SCENIC The south-facing home has been designed to take full advantage of the sunny location, right at the top of the village and directly next to the first slopes of Monte Catalfano. Each of its four rooms has a French window that opens onto either a balcony or the small covered terrace off the living room. This fills the place with natural light and fresh air, with the position 40 metres above sea level enough to bring in a cooling breeze in the summer. With the opposite lot empty, your view is of the green hillside and Sicily's famous deep blue sky. It's almost the best view we can imagine without losing the convenience of living in a small town. A FRIENDLY FISHING VILLAGE WE'RE PROUD TO ENDORSE Talking of the surrounding community, you'll find Porticello a really welcoming and liveable place. We'll put our cards on the table here: we like it so much that we chose it ourselves – our office is just a five minute walk downhill towards the charming marina and restaurant-filled seafront. Our favourite thing about the neighbourhood is how well it's managed to preserve its relaxed local character. You won't find dramatic numbers of tourists here, and you'd never guess that Sicily's biggest city was just fifteen kilometres away to the west. You can get into Palermo by car, or take the train from nearby Santa Flavia, whose station is just a fifteen minute walk from Appartamento Assunta. Within a similar range are the beach and nature reserve of Sant'Elia, the important archaeological site of Solunto, the exciting rocky coastline of Mongerbino and the Baroque villas of Bagheria. Truly something for everyone. READY TO USE WITH NO FURTHER INVESTMENT REQUIRED The property has been unoccupied for a while, and it will be necessary to manage a little bit of moisture which has accumulated in some corners of the home – but there is absolutely nothing to cause concern on a structural level about this modern and well-maintained home. The windows and shutters are efficient and in good shape; the electricity and plumbing fixtures are recent and certified, and the building's common areas are clean and in good condition. The cul-de-sac on which the apartment is found is enclosed behind a gate, and for additional convenience there is even a 12m2 garage included in the sale price. It would make a lovely second home or base for a new life in the sun. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

A CHARMING VILLAGE ON THE SEA Aspra is a beautiful spot, perfectly located for those who want to explore the real Sicily without sacrificing the convenience of proximity to the city.
