Palazzo Petta - Gratteri650m above sea level, and just a twenty minute drive from the nearest beach, Palazzo Petta is found near the edge of the hilltop village of Gratteri in the Madonie Natural Park.With the green hills of the surrounding countryside a paradise for lovers of nature and Sicilian culture, and everything from the snow-capped peaks of the mountain range to the pristine beach town of Cefalù on your doorstep, this is a truly inspiring setting for a retirement home, a remote working base or a holiday property.A once-IN-A-lifetime adventureThe palazzo is in need of a complete renovation, with the current condition of the building not even safe to enter at the present. However, the asking price is enticingly low, and we estimate that a budget of around €100,000 will be enough to create a completely modern interior that offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of living space.There is some fabulous raw material to work with, too. The old stone walls are steeped in historical character, and the setting in a village which has been an important part of the Madonie's cultural landscape since the middle ages will provide ample inspiration.Specialists in restoration work, speaking your languageThe adventure of restoring an old palazzo is an incredibly rewarding one, and the finished property will be completely your own, with the option to customise every detail to fit your needs and personal style.If you are nervous about the logistics of a project on this scale, help is at hand.
