Properties for sale in Italy's Sicily

Villa Manfredi - Naso A hilltop gem with an unbeatable view and private swimming pool, Villa Manfredi offers style and convenience at a great price. UNBEATABLE SEA VIEW FROM TERRACES AND POOLSIDE The villa has been built halfway up a hillside, at an altitude of about 175m above sea level but just 1800m inland. This gives it a sensational panoramic view facing west over the Gulf of Sant'Agata di Militello. On a clear day the western Aeolian islands are in view, and in the evening the sunsets will have you racing for your camera to capture the colourful display across the sky and the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The lower terrace contains the pool. Lush vegetation currently gives you more of an enclosed spot, but if you wanted to trim this back you would be able to take in the vista of one body of water from inside a smaller one! ONE FAMILY VILLA OR TWO SPACIOUS APARTMENTS The two-storey building has a kitchen, living room and bathroom on each level, meaning that it would be possible to divide it in two and share the space with another family. This might lead to a kind of guest annexe, a joint purchase, or possibly even an investment in Sicily's tourist economy. The lower floor has two bedrooms - a huge master with an en-suite WC and a pool view, then a smaller box room at the rear. A single bedroom upstairs opens off the living room, where there is ample space to put a sofa bed if you'd like to increase the sleeping capacity any further. The same is definitely true of the downstairs living room-diner. This spreads over a huge 50m2, including a kitchen corner partially enclosed by a lovely stone breakfast island. SOLD FULLY FURNISHED AND WITH READY TO USE The current owners have made Villa Manfredi a lovely comfortable home, with quality furniture that includes comfortable beds and sofas, dining tables indoors and out and beautifully fitted kitchens. The upstairs bathroom has a box shower, while the downstairs one enjoys the use of a spa bath with hydromassage jets. Outside, the beautifully cultivated gardens include some fabulous dwarf palm trees and plenty of citrus fruits. The plot stretches over a total of 1300m2. The swimming pool is about 12x4m, and an external bathroom and utility room makes a perfect little pool house. There is off-street parking in a paved area inside the front gate, and the external spaces are well lit. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa Tiziana - Casteldaccia An oasis of calm fifteen miles outside Palermo, Villa Tiziana is an elegant six-bedroom home with sea views and a shady garden. A PHENOMENAL LOCATION, ALMOST AT THE WATER'S EDGE One kilometre east of Casteldaccia in the province of Palermo, between the state road and motorway that follow Sicily's north coast and the shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a little stretch of residential development follows the sandy beaches. This is a quiet neighbourhood characterised by large villas organised along private cul-de-sacs, and midway along one of these we find Villa Tiziana. The street is gated, with the maintenance costs of the private road shared by a small number of residents. In return they enjoy private access to a lovely little sandy bay, which is otherwise reachable only by sea. From the northern corner of the semi-detached property to the water's edge is not even 100m as the crow flies – you will be able to hear and smell the salt water from every outdoor space of your huge Sicilian beach house. A HUGE, VERSATILE VILLA SLEEPING A DOZEN IN COMFORT The three storeys of this semi-detached villa are efficiently divided, with a minimum of passageways and hallways and an emphasis on community. Everything indoors begins from the 45m2 living room-cum-diner; a focal point for family life that connects to the gardens, the kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms. Upstairs a sunny landing leads you to three more double bedrooms, each of which opens directly onto the deep open terrace. From here you can take an external staircase up to the flat roof, from where you can enjoy a fantastic 360 degree panorama that takes in lush green hills, pristine white homes and sparkling turquoise sea, all under the vast blue canopy of the Sicilian sky. Underground, a basement offers storage space across the full size of the building; over 60m2 which could in the future become a home gym, family room or even a studio apartment. FURNISHED AND HABITABLE: NO FURTHER INVESTIMENT NEEDED The vendors have only made Villa Tiziana their summer home, meaning that despite being nearly half a century old it has aged very well. A pair of the bedrooms downstairs are recent additions, and one of the upper ones has been renovated with a new floor and a lovely feature wall. Any renovation work would be purely a question of personal taste, priorities or aesthetics. The windows are single-glazed but beautifully made in solid wood. The bathrooms are original from the 1980s, but still work with no issue. The outdoor kitchen could be refreshed but the stone ovens are there forever. The basement would need work to be used as a living space, but does the job of a large storeroom perfectly. 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

Casa D'Anna - Campofelice Almost directly on the coast just a few kilometres from one of Sicily's best-loved beach towns, Casa d'Anna is a four-bedroom family villa surrounded by greenery and fresh sea air. AMPLE AND IMPRESSIVE INDOOR SPACES The floor plan of the extra large 228m2 villa is built around an open plan living room and diner which curves around to include the elegant open staircase, and opens though double doors into a lounge. Offering over 50m2 of space for eating, entertaining and relaxing, it's a beautiful sunny room with twin French windows and one that makes a superb first impression. From here you can pass directly into the fully fitted kitchen, itself large enough for a breakfast table and with a paved veranda outside for al fresco mealtimes. Upstairs, four double bedrooms guarantee that you will never have problems accommodating family or visitors. All four of these enjoy direct access onto one of the house's upper balconies, including a long one running the entire east side of the building. This connects the three largest bedrooms, and offers a great view over the quiet green neighbourhood. From one end you can even see the sea. The fourth bedroom has a private balcony. Two bathrooms, two storerooms and an outbuilding complete the villa. GARDENS TO CONNECT YOU TO A BEAUTIFUL GREEN REGION The gardens which wrap right around Casa d'Anna are green and welcoming, planted with a grassy lawn and a wide variety of trees. In total the plot measures 500m2. This also includes several expanses of open patio, a terracotta pathway around the building and off-street parking for three or four cars. The green hills of the Madonie Natural Park are clearly visible on the horizon. Closer to home, the neighbourhood, which grew up around the historic castle of Roccella along the Gulf of Termini Imerese, is filled with similar properties, and you will find the neighbours very respectful and private. The beach is only three hundred metres up the road, and the refreshing sea breeze keeps the property cool indoors and out, even at the height of the Sicilian summer. ALL OF SICILY ON YOUR DOORSTEP As well as Cefalù, just a fifteen minute drive east, Casa d'Anna is perfectly positioned as a base from which to explore the whole island. The enthralling city of Palermo is only forty minutes away, the hills of the Madonie unfold inland, and you can reach almost everywhere on Sicily in under two hours, including the temples of Agrigento, the salt flats of Trapani and the port cities of Messina and Catania in the shadow of Mount Etna on the east coast. It's an unbeatable location for a quiet family home with untold adventures right around the corner. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Heike - Marsala Just inland from Sicily's west coast, midway between Trapani and Marsala, Casa Heike is a charming escape into nature in a fantastic location. TRADITIONAL CHARM AND MODERN, SUSTAINABLE ENERGY The one-bedroom cottage is divided almost exactly into two halves, each with its own bathroom. On one side is the living room, with a modern kitchen fitted along one wall and plenty of space for relaxing and dining. Off this is a bathroom with a walk-in shower. On the other side is the large bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom that features a tub, and direct access onto the patio outside. It would be possible to create two mini-apartments with ease. Outside you will love the spacious and green grounds, measuring 9,000m2 and filled with old olive trees and other fruit. The immediate surroundings of the house have been turned into a lovely garden filled with herbs, lavender and flowers, as well as a shady area in which to eat outdoors. An unobtrusive spiral staircase leads up to the flat roof terrace, where a huge 8kW of electricity is generated by the home's solar panels, which are connected to a battery and also heat your water sustainably and at no cost. Tucked away in one corner of the plot is a small wooden cottage that offers another bedroom and a bathroom. A QUIET LOCATION WITH AN INCREDIBLE RANGE OF NEARBY ATTRACTIONS From the adrenaline of the Mediterranean's leading kite-surfing spot to the more sedate pleasures of Sicily's biggest collection of vineyards and wineries, the road along the island's west coast from Trapani to Marsala has something for everyone. The ancient Phoenician island city of Mozia, the drama of Medieval hilltop Erice, the beautiful baroque old towns of the two great cities and the salt pans that line much of the coast combine to provide an unmissable feast for all the senses. All of this and more can be found right on the doorstep of Casa Heike, with nothing we've just mentioned more than a forty minute drive away. We've not even mentioned the Aeolian islands, the ancient temple and theatre at Segesta or the fabulous nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, only slightly further afield. ALL THE ESSENTIALS ON YOUR DOORSTEP While the immediate neighbourhood of the property is extremely quiet, a variety of shops and amenities can be found within walking or cycling distance in the villages that surround the property on all sides. Further afield the town of Paceco and the twin cities can provide everything you need, and Palermo is only an hour's drive away. The closest international airport, Trapani-Birgi, is just a five minute journey. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Maurizio - Porticello An advanced renovation project for an experienced or adventurous developer, Casa Maurizio needs a lot of care and attention. In the long run though, we think it offers great value as a two-bedroom family home or a three-apartment guesthouse. THREE STOREY TOWNHOUSE WITH A ROOF TERRACE The building has a footprint of about 35m2, and is built on three floors plus a little loft space and what will become the roof terrace. Each level has a pair of rooms, with the front ones facing west and overlooking the street. At present the upper windows have been closed up and the balconies fallen completely through, but by the time you have three new French windows in place the home will be full of natural light, especially in the afternoons. The ceilings are three metres or higher, and the staircases are one above each other on the south side of the property. Planning permission has already been given for the terrace, and this will transfer with the ownership. The only issue to be aware of is that the current certificate will expire in March 2026, meaning that if you're not able to get to work in a hurry you'll need to spend a little more on renewing it. A REAL RENOVATION CHALLENGE The entire property will need to be redone, with the only exception being the walls, foundations, ground floor and first staircase. The internal floors and ceilings will have to be rebuilt, as will the roof. As we mentioned before, the balconies are missing and all of the electrical and plumbing fittings will need to be added from scratch. Obviously plastering and decoration will be the final stage, along with fitting kitchens and bathrooms. The great advantage of a project that needs this much work is, of course, that you can really shape it to your own needs. If you want a top floor kitchen opening directly onto the roof terrace to make al-fresco dining a cinch, that's absolutely possible. On the other hand, maybe you see the investment potential of three independent apartments, each with a bathroom at the rear and its own self-catering facilities. A FRIENDLY, TRADITIONAL VILLAGE THAT'S DECEPTIVELY CLOSE TO THE CITY Wandering the quiet streets or enjoying an aperitivo in front of the tranquil marina of Porticello, you would have no clue that you were only twenty minutes from Italy's fifth-largest city. The peninsula of Capo Zafferano screens Palermo from view, and instead you have the lovely landscape of green hills rising up from the Gulf of Termini Imerese. However, you can get into Sicily's capital city in twenty minutes by car, and the same time if you take a train from the nearby Santa Flavia station. This makes Casa Maurizio perfect for someone moving to Palermo for work but dreaming of a quiet home life outside the city, or a regular visitor who needs to switch off from the world just 45 minutes from a major international airport.

Casa Filippo - Marina di Caronia In the quaint fishing village of Marina di Caronia, at the foot of the stunning Nebrodi Natural Park, you won't find anything closer to the beach than Casa Filippo. SPACIOUS GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT RIGHT ON THE SEAFRONT The location of Casa Filippo could hardly be better, as it fronts directly onto the sea. Only a small road separates your front windows and private veranda from the waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Directly across the road is a stretch of rocky beach, but only a few metres away is the large expanse of sand and pebble that is shared between bathers and fishing boats in a charming, timeless equilibrium. The two bedroom apartment has 40m2 of terracotta-paved veranda wrapping around its front and side, with a main entrance into a spacious hallway and French windows straight into the kitchen-diner. The bedrooms are both spacious and nicely furnished, and the wood-effect floors and brand new fittings make everything perfectly inviting. In total there is about 70m2 of indoor space. SOLD FULLY FURNISHED AND IN PERFECT CONDITION Everything in this warm and welcoming home has been freshly renovated, redecorated and even refurnished, meaning that you will be purchasing a property in absolutely pristine condition. The electricity and plumbing have been redone, the walls replastered and painted, in a gleaming white indoors and a sunny yellow outside. The bathroom and kitchen are both brand new. The apartment is on the ground floor of a block of flats, but there are no condominium charges to pay and the entrance is completely private, through a gate at street level, up a short flight of stairs and straight onto that glorious sunny patio. A BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE FOR SUNNY HOLIDAYS OR A PEACEFUL RETIREMENT Marina di Caronia is a small town right on the sea, in the shadow of the Nebrodi mountains. This gives a thrilling colourful landscape of turquoise, blue and green as the hills begin to climb right from the water's edge. The region is overlooked by international travellers, meaning that you and the other residents will have the town's large crescent moon beach almost entirely to yourselves, even in the height of summer. The water quality is superb and the nearest spot for a dip could hardly be closer to your front door, just metres along the road. The nearby towns of Sant'Agata di Militello and Sant Stefano di Camastra will provide all the shopping and services you need, and the cities of Palermo and Messina can be reached in an hour and a half by car or train.

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.

Terreno con Rustico - Selinunte Within a kilometre of an iconic archaeological site and a remarkably beautiful beach, Terreno con Rustico in the town of Selinunte is a great piece of land waiting for the right buyer to put up a lovely family villa. 7,000M2 OF PRESTIGE BUILDING LAND This plot is a long rectangle, a strip measuring 25m by 280m. Connected at one end to the main road that runs into Selinunte, it is flat, arable land with some fine olive trees that must be at least 80 years old, and a copse of about forty pines at the far end. The neighbouring land has not been extensively developed either, meaning that you won't have a feeling of being squeezed in, wherever you decide to put your new villa. There is an existing house about 250m from the road, but this is in very poor condition with questionable foundations, and will almost certainly need to be demolished. The size of the land means that you can build 240m2 of home, more than enough for a three of four-bedroom villa on two floors. A SEAFRONT NATURE RESERVE AND ANCIENT TEMPLES ON YOUR DOORSTEP The town of Selinunte is widely renowned for its archaeological park, the largest of its kind in Europe. The ruins of a Greek town have been painstakingly excavated over the years, with some of the most beautiful temples restored to a remarkable condition. If you build a two-storey home these ancient treasures will actually be on display from your upstairs windows and balconies. The park begins just 600m from the entrance to this plot. A less well-known but equally dazzling attraction is the Riserva Naturale Orientata Foce Belice. This protected area covers the beaches, dunes and tall grasses along the coast from Selinunte as you head east towards Sciacca and Agrigento. As well as providing a haven for all manner of wildlife it's a truly unbeatable spot to visit for a day at the beach. The four kilometre strip of sand offers more than enough space for all visitors and the remote location gives you a feeling of total escape from the cares of the world. This is just a kilometre away.

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. WELCOMING AND BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED The flat is a first floor apartment in a building with only one neighbour. Everything inside the property has been renovated within the past decade, and you can see how carefully the owners have looked after their home. You'll love the warm tones of sunny yellow and light wood, and the terracotta tiles underfoot. 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 BLANK CANVAS WITH VALUE TO ADD Sold unfurnished, the apartment is ready for you to put your stamp on it. The interior is in good condition, and the option to enclose and connect the rooftop terrace offers a rare chance to create private outdoor space. With the upcoming metro line set to boost demand and the property’s position just 500 metres from the sea, this is both a practical home and a smart investment, offering flexibility for personal use or rental potential.

Villetta Arcobaleno - San Lorenzo Small but perfectly formed, Villa Arcobaleno is a one-bedroom holiday home in a spacious estate near Noto on Sicily's southern tip. BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED, INSIDE AND OUT Renovation work over the past eight years has turned a characterful but run-down farm cottage into a really lovely modern holiday home. The property has been remade from terracotta tiled floor to insulated roof. There is fine-grained plaster on the wall, and lovely exposed timbers on the ceiling. The terrace has had a fixed veranda added, and the garden has also now got a stone barbecue oven that will keep you well fed for years to come. The natural stone driveway is another lovely touch. Indoors, the finishings are built to last, especially in the kitchen, where the cupboards have been installed in brick and tile, the traditional Sicilian fashion. There's air conditioning for the summer and an efficient pellet-burning stove for the short winters. Even better, all of the furniture will be included in the sale. Just pack your suitcases! SUPERB LOCATION STEEPED IN NATURAL BEAUTY AND HISTORY The detached home is found at the end of a long country lane that extends into the outer edges of a nature reserve called the Oasi Faunistica di Vendicari. This runs along 10km of south Sicily's Ionian coast, taking in some wonderful sandy beaches and fertile flatlands. Yje mearest beach is just a fifteen minute walk away. If you're a history buff, you'll be charmed by the nearby fishing villages, and dazzled by the Baroque towns of the Val di Noto, right on your doorstep. The collection of architectural treasures has been afforded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2002. VERY STRONG POTENTIAL FOR RENTAL INCOME It's wonderful to know that any time you can fly down to the sunshine, your very own holiday property will be waiting for you. But when life keeps you elsewhere, you can be sure that many others will be queuing up to take advantage of this beautiful property. The current owners have had it listed on Booking.com, AirBnb and various other sites for two years now, and the interest has been through the roof. The villa hit a 9.6 rating on Booking, and many of the reservations for 2024 were returning clients from 2023. Accounts show a profit of around €10,000 for the year, and the friendly couple are very willing to share their materials and insights into the market.

Villa Alfonso - Scala dei Turchi A huge detached villa, fully renovated and with an uninterrupted view of one of Sicily's best-loved landmarks, Villa Alfonso is an absolute bargain at the asking price. A TERRACE WITH A TRULY UNIQUE VIEW It's impossible to start anywhere other than the top, where the open terrace gives lovely views on all sides, but a special treat is in store when you look to the south-east. The pristine white cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi beach are in full view. It's a really rare opportunity to be able to buy a property this size with such a famous backdrop. The tourist attractions don't end there, either. The legendary Valley of the Temples is only fifteen minutes up the road, the vineyards of Marsala are a short drive to the west and Sicily's largest golf resort is only just around the corner. FIVE BEDROOMS AND A BEAUTIFUL GROUND FLOOR There is abundant room indoors and out, with 145m2 of indoor space on each of the two floors.
