Casa Patti - CasteldacciaJust 150m from the nearest beach, Casa Patti is a dream for lovers of the sea. In the town of Casteldaccia, 15m east of the centre of Palermo, it enjoys great transport links and an impressive sense of seclusion. Beautifully presented, the value is evident at this asking price, especially when you consider that it is sold turnkey, just as seen in our photos and virtual tour.Bright and immediately welcomingThe property occupies the first floor of a two-storey building at the end of a short private driveway. Indoors it includes three double bedrooms, two large bathrooms, and a large kitchen-living room which opens onto the veranda.The outdoor space offers views of the nearby water, both from that veranda, which runs the entire width of the property and wraps around to one side, and from the roof terrace above. The views from here take in the whole of the Gulf of Termini Imerese, from Capo Zafferano in the north right along the coast towards Cefalù in the east. A really special sight.Recently renovatedThe home is in excellent condition after being renovated internally eight years ago, and both replastered and refurnished only two years back.

Casa Guido - Capo d'Orlando200m above sea level on the side of a steep hill, Casa Guido offers one of the best sea views you could hope to find. The green slopes of the Nebrodi Park drop dramatically down to the crystal-clear Tyrrhenian Sea below, and the local beach is in full view. The grounds of this characterful property offer seclusion, abundant nature and phenomenal scenery.OVER 140m2 of indoor living spaceThe house has six rooms, divided at present between three distinct units, each with their own front door. Downstairs, one of these is a kitchen with a walk-in larder and a permanent wood-fired oven that you'll certainly want to find a way to retain. The next is a pair of rooms alongside this, the first of which opens directly onto the sea-view patio.Upstairs, three rooms of around 15m2 apiece are completed by a small bathroom big enough for a shower. Two of the rooms have deep balconies from which you can take in the best sea views on the property.A renovation project with incredible potentialSignificant renovation work will be needed, beginning with an overhaul of both Casa Guido's wiring and its plumbing. Electricity is already present, but you may want to lay pipes that will connect it to the municipal water and sewage mains, each around 30m from the property.It will be necessary to spend some money on the plastering and the exteriors, as well as on the 3,000m2 of gardens, which have the potential to be a beautiful space, with olive and lemon trees and of course those great panoramic views.You may also wish to add an internal staircase and a doorway between the ground floor spaces, in order to make your new purchase a bit more user-friendly. The end result, however, would be well worth the expenditure: a three-bedroom family home with over 140m2 of internal space and an unbeatable scenic location.The best of sicily's nature and community at your fingertipsThe beach that you can see from the edge of the plot is reachable in five minutes by car down a winding road.

Plot Cinzia - CollesanoExpansive and unspoilt, the huge hillside estate that is Plot Cinzia is a dream for the kind of buyer who is at peace with nature and doesn't back away from a challenge. While the old cottage that currently stands on the southern edge of the plot will need to be rebuilt from scratch, the raw beauty of this Sicilian country land is bursting with possibility.A bird's eye view on the coastThe estate spreads over some 20 acres (80,000m2) of countryside on the western edge of the Madonie Natural Park, a few kilometres north of the picturesque little village of Collesano. The land slopes down towards the bottom of a valley which feeds into the Tyrrhenian Sea at the coastal town of Campofelice di Roccaella.The majority of the estate is woodland, home to a diverse range of trees and wildlife. The emptier pastures open up on the lower slopes to give a fabulous view of the sea in the middle distance, 8 kilometres away and about 400m downhill.The two existing buildings on the land are 100m2 and 40m2 respectively. You could work off this footprint, but the size of the pot means that the option would be available to create a much larger villa, complete with a guest house and swimming pool.Haven of biodiversityYou will find the soil fertile, with olive oil produced from trees in this region considered to be of particularly high quality. There are over a hundred olive trees on the plot at present, and one could easily imagine a buyer adding many more. You will also find a wide variety of trees and bushes, many of which bear fruit and nuts of all varieties. The land is home to numerous species of bird as well as hares, lizards and small mammals. There is already a well on the land, and you would certainly be able to achieve true sustainability and energy independence if you were to invest in solar panels to power and heat your new home.Lesws than half an hour to the beachWhile the drive into Collesano is no more than six or seven minutes, you will also find it very easy to reach the towns at sea level. Both Campofelice and Lascari have lovely stretches of coastline, and the famous resort of Cefalù is only a 35 minute drive. Palermo and its international airport can be reached in an hour.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Casa Marino - GangiIn italy's original “most beautiful village”: two bedroom renovated property for sale in the madonie natural parkWhere is Italy's most beautiful village? Opinions will vary as widely as traditional pasta recipes, but the community of Gangi in the Madonie hills of Sicily has a better claim than most. In 2014, a heritage association called I borghi piu belli d'Italia (“Italy's most beautiful villages”) held what became an annual competition to find the nation's most picturesque community – and Gangi ran out the inaugural winner.Casa Marino is a beautiful restoration project in the historic old town of this magical hillside settlement. With a centuries-old construction giving it the sturdiest possible skeleton and no expense spared on the painstaking revamp, it is a fabulous opportunity to own a heritage property for a reasonable priceA unique shape and designThe house is on the end of a pair of terraces, tapering towards a wedged end that makes it look more of a tower than a family home when approached from one side. However, the four long storeys in fact combine to offer a surprisingly large 137m2 of habitable space.The narrow end of the building is a stairwell, and the wider part follows the same floor plan for the first three floors: a corridor leading past a bathroom with a large shower to a living or bedroom at the property's broadest section.Local craftsmanshipThe materials used in the recent renovation are top quality, with locally produced floor tiles, sparkling bathroom fittings and crisp plaster accentuating the sections of the original, nearly metre-thick, stone walls which have been left on display in large sections of the property.The roof has also been repaired and is now in excellent condition. Only the stairwell is in need of work at this stage, and there are certainly no issues which would stop you moving in as soon as you complete the purchase.A really unique property, you won't regret taking a longer look at Casa Marino. Want to know more?

Casa Veronica - Gioiosa MareaSmall, two-storey country-style property with plot and fantastic sea views in rustic surroundings near Gioiosa Marea.The surrounding areaThis house is located approximately 500 metres above sea level on an easily navigable village road in the municipality of Gioiosa Marea in the higher Contrada Russa.The distance to the coast is 7 km. The view to the north and east from the house offers a spectacular view of the offshore Aeolian Islands and the coast towards Milazzo.The property is less than 7 km from the centre of Gioiosa Marea, where you will find a friendly community of around five thousand inhabitants. As you would expect, there are supermarkets, bars, restaurants and all the essential facilities and shops for daily needs, and of course long stretches of beach with crystal clear waters. The views from the sea are no less impressive than those from above, with views of the Aeolian Islands easily visible on sunny days.The nearest major city is Messina, an hour away by car. From here, a short ferry connection takes you to the tip of the Italian peninsula. Catania and Palermo, where Sicily's two main international airports are located, are both around two hours away by car. The glamorous seaside resorts of Taormina and Cefalù are both within easy reach.The propertyThe plot is approximately 440 m² in size and is planted with lemon trees and orange trees. The house is located about 80 metres from the village street and is accessed via a side street. The plot of land in question extends to this village road and a driveway and parking space for one car could also be created here. Neighbours live in the immediate vicinity all year round. You are not isolated here, but of course you cannot live here without a car.The house extends over two floors, which are connected by an external staircase. The roof makes a good impression and there are no infiltrations on the inside. The brick house also makes a stable impression. While the lower floor needs to be completely renovated, the upper floor makes a much better impression.You reach the upper floor via an external staircase and enter a hallway. To the right is a spacious bedroom with an east-facing window.On the ground floor you enter directly into a kitchen-living room, and to the right there is another spacious room.The ground floor is in need of total renovation, while the upper floor can be described as habitable for modest requirements.Directly adjacent to this house is a building which is also being sold but which in my opinion must either be demolished or completely renovated.OpportunitiesThe location of this property is unique. The view of the nearby sea is indescribably beautiful. Especially in spring everything blooms and turns green here, fruit trees, olives, walnut trees and oaks surround the house.The vendor is asking € 49,000.00 for this property, which may be easily negotiable. This would be the ideal property for a handyman or craftsman. The house is in need of renovation, especially the ground floor. I would perhaps demolish the outbuilding and build a nice panoramic terrace instead. Want to know more?

A Personal ChoiceThe main difference between the pair is that while Martina's long balcony looks west, Silva's faces east. Martina has a view of the green stretch of land between Bagheria and Aspra, and also takes in the Gulf of Palermo and the mountains which ring the city on the horizon. Silvia's, on the other hand, is a city view which enjoys some direct sunshine in the mornings.Neither apartment is fitted or furnished, save for the bathrooms. Martina has gas-powered radiators, whose recently installed boiler is currently fed from cylinders. It would be preferable to request a connection to the gas main in the future. Silvia on the other hand has a pair of air conditioning units, which circulate both hot and cold air.Connected to the City and the SeaAlthough Bagheria has a storied past, growing up primarily around a cluster of stunning eighteenth and nineteenth century villas that served as summer escapes for the gentry of Palermo, these days it is in large part a commuter town, and as such the transport connections are well above average for Sicily. Buses, trains and a motorway will all take you into the centre of Palermo in twenty minutes. The station is a walkable 15 minutes from the apartment. So too is the town centre, while the beaches of Aspra, Porticello, Mongerbino and the rest of the scenic Capo Zafferano peninsula are all just a short drive or cycle away.For a full description of the properties please visit our website Want to know more?

Casa Lapi - GratteriLost in the atmospheric cobbled streets of the ancient hilltop village of Gratteri, Casa Lapi is a rough gem that is available for an incredible price. A corner property on three storeys, it has an unusual floor plan which branches out like a tree on the top floor.In need of some attention, it is nonetheless habitable as it is, and the renovations will not need to be exhaustive. Rather, a little modernisation and some decoration to reflect the historic context, and you will have a beautifully positioned holiday home near the Sicilian north coast.Cosy accommodation in a charming corner of townThe ground floor is mostly taken up by an entrance hall which doubles as a utility room. A large old sink sits underneath the electric boiler which provides hot water to the adjacent bathroom. This contains a miniature tub with a shower attachment. On the first floor is a small bedroom, with a window overlooking the narrow street in front of the property. The well-presented marble stairs lead up to the top level, at which point the interior becomes noticeably more roomy and also much lighterA window onto a historic and naturally beautiful regionThe second floor is split in two; a kitchen with enough space to accommodate a dining table, and a large living room with a balcony at the far end. This could also be a bedroom if you prefer to wake up with the sunlight. The balcony overlooks the nearby streets but also gives you a view of the surrounding mountains and hillsides.Gratteri stands at 650m above sea level, midway into the great range of the Madonie Natural Park, whose tallest peaks are at 2000m. It is even possible to ski towards these altitudes, in the island's short winter months. The Mediaeval town grew up in the eleventh century around a castle whose ruins are still evident today.

With shared use of the spacious green gardens, it is a lovely spot in which to escape from the stresses of day-to-day life.Timeless Design and Durable CraftsmanshipThe ground floor comprises a long, thin living room with a smoothly arched ceiling, and a fully tiled Sicilian kitchen.

Casa Luciano - Forza D'AgròNearly 400m above sea level but less than a kilometre from the nearest beach as the crow flies, Casa Luciano commands phenomenal views of Sicily's eastern coast as it runs south to the famous resort of Taormina. Restore a Home in the SunThe three storey property is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen-cum-sun room and a snug living room on the ground floor which is heated by a fireplace. There is character in spades, with one unique feature the fact that the home has literally been built into the rock face against which it stands. In one of the showers, and behind the sink in the kitchen, the back wall is literally just exposed bare rock.Some work will be needed to make the most of the charming home, including replacement windows and bathroom fixtures. However, the raw beauty of this historic property, not to mention the amazing views from those upper terraces, guarantees a handsome return on your effort and investment.A Place in Cinema HistoryJust seven kilometres north of the luxurious holiday landmark, the picture-postcard village of Forza d'Agrò is an attraction in its own right, having featured in the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather trilogy.It's easy to see why the lovely hilltop community was chosen to evoke the Sicily of a hundred years ago... It's everything you imagine from a traditional hamlet on the island, from the narrow cobbled streets to the terracotta-tiled rooftops. The population declined dramatically over the past fifty years, but the international market has seen it start to recover in recent years, with overseas investment helping to restore a gentle bustle of activity to the alleyways and tiny piazzas of the town.Great Potential as an Income GeneratorNeedless to say, the village's proximity to the sights of Taormina and its connection to the world of cinema mean that there is plenty of potential to recoup much of your outlay in periods where you can't use the home in person. In peak season a well presented two-bedroom property in Forza d'Agrò can command up to a thousand Euros a week.Take a look through our full listing and our information-packed website to find out how we can help you manage your new purchase even after the contract has been exchanged.

Casa Gullotti - San Marco D'AlunzioA 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 RestoredThe 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 RenovateThe 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?
