Property in Sicily

Tenute La Rocca - CollesanoThree 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 accommodationIn 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 landThe 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 renovateTowards 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Plot con Casa - Termini ImereseA renovation project that really needs more of a finishing touch, Plot con Casa is an acre of land in North Sicily with a cottage that has yet to be completed.Countryside calm, moments from the beachThe estate measures 4,000m2, and covers a stretch of west-facing hillside in the district of Trabia. This is roughly halfway between Palermo and Cefalù, if you follow the main E90 motorway that hugs Sicily's north coast.The plot is 200m above sea level and two kilometres inland, affording it a great view of the surrounding countryside and the waters of the Gulf of Termini. The beach is less than ten minutes away, as are the shops and services of Trabia. You can be in Palermo in half an hour if you need to be.Cosy teo-storey cottage to work onThe house is built towards the top of the property, but surrounded by olive and fruit trees. It is a two-storey building, about 30m2 in footprint, with the upper floor at ground level and the lower floor partially underground. There is no internal staircase connecting the levels, but one curves around the outside of the property. The top floor is an l-shaped room with a bathroom, currently containing only a WC. It is small, but a shower head could be added if the whole space were to be fully tiled and ventilated. Otherwise you would need to make it a little larger. The lower level is a single open space. It would make a great living room with a kitchenette, especially if you can add some French windows to let in more light.There is work to do in order to make the house habitable. As a minimum you will need to install proper electrical and plumbing infrastructure, add a bathroom and a kitchen, put in windows, plaster and decorate. Unless you can take on a lot of the work yourself it wouldn't be wise to approach this work with a budget much under €50,000. However, for a total investment not far over €100,000, we think you could land yourself a gorgeous little sea-view holiday home in the Sicilian countryside.A fertile tranche of landThe land is home to a small grove of olive trees, and also to some fruits and plenty of Mediterranean shrubs. There are sea views throughout, none better than from the covered terrace adjacent to the house.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Appartamento Porto - PalermoA 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 balconyThe 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 occupationThe 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 cityThe 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 Want to know more?

Casa Michele - PorticelloIn the heart of the small fishing village of Porticello, twenty minutes from Palermo on Sicily's north coast, Casa Michele is a ground floor apartment that would make a superb holiday home or retirement property.130M2 of outdoor spaceThe biggest selling point of the ground-floor apartment is its outdoor space. You'll love the shady veranda at the front of the house, and the courtyard that wraps around the side and rear is deep and versatile. In total there is 50m2 of covered patio and about 80m2 open.It's currently mostly concrete, with only a small sliver of flowerbed down the side of the property, home to three of four small trees. With some climbing plants growing up the iron railings and a bit of turf or more soil, however, we think it could make a really lovely green garden. There is plenty of on-street parking available, but at the front a double gate opens to allow you to leave multiple cars on the veranda if you prefer.ROOMY, renovated and in great conditionIndoors, everything is spacious, simple and well-maintained. A recent renovation has taken care of the electrical and plumbing systems for many years to come, and all that needs to be done to complete the latter is to buy a new water heater and install a new kitchen. This will fit perfectly at the front of the long 30m2 living room, giving you bags of room at the other end for a cosy lounge area with sofas and a TV.A little corridor leads off to one side, bringing you to two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a storage cupboard. The guest bedroom isn't huge but it does have a direct access to the garden through a glazed door. The bathroom is spacious, and has a shower installed (you may want to add a cubicle).Seaside charm and the friendliest nighboursIt's a wonderful to wake up moments from the sea, and we're confident that you'll share our love for the traditional little community of Porticello. The fish market is a perfect treat for any chef, the seafront is a fabulous spot for an evening stroll and the number one international real estate business in Sicily has its headquarters two minutes from your front door! We'd love to welcome you to the neighbourhood...For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Casa Ilona - TrabiaWith sea-view terraces and beautiful interiors, Casa Ilona is a great option for a mid-budget holiday home in northern Sicily.One bedroom and onve versatile living spaceThe recently-renovated house is composed of a large living area, a compact bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. One end of the living room is given over to a kitchen, which has been beautifully fitted with custom-built wooden cupboards, worktops and drawers. The rustic charm is reflected in the exposed beams of the cottage ceiling, and the expensive travertine stone floors. The bathroom is comfortable and stylish, with a monochrome majolica tile print around the efficient modern shower.To one side of the home is a patio which has been partially covered by a fixed gazebo. This makes an unbeatable spot for outdoor meals and sunbathing. Underneath is a spacious garage with an automatic door, and a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine. There is additional space to park three or four cars off-road. A scenic spot with sea and countryside viewsThe property sits in 1,000m2 of sloping land, with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea just four kilometres to the north. With a terraced garden both in front of and behind the home, there is plenty of outdoor space in which to grow flowers or vegetables, dine al fresco or just sit in the stillness of nature and enjoy the cooling breeze which brushes the scenic spot, 380m above sea level.If you want the best view of all, head up to the flat roof of the home, which is suitable for use as a patio. From here the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Termini Imerese are in full view, along with the green hillsides and neat rows of fruit and olive trees closer to home.Convenient for the beach and for the cityOne of the best beaches in this stretch of coastline, the romantic Ombelico di Venere outside San Nicola l'Arena, is just a fifteen minute drive away. If you are in search of something sandier you can head east to Casteldaccia or west to the long, quiet stretch of coast by Campofelice di Roccella. Beyond this is the sumptuous Cefalù, with its Medieval old town and unesco-protected cathedral. If you want to explore the island's urban life, a little over 40 minutes will bring you into Palermo, a huge, resurgent metropolis and Italy's fifth-largest city. Whether you want world class opera, international boutiques and fine dining, or street food, bustling markets and a passionately supported football club, there is something for you here. From the calm silence of Casa Ilona, however, the bustle of modern life feels half a world away.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

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.

Casa Aldo - Castellana SiculaA 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 natureBuilt 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 spaciousCasa 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 Want to know more?

Casa Renato - FurnariA huge sea-facing plot with a view of the Marinello lakes and the Gulf of Tindari, Casa Renato is an intriguing property with enormous potentialTwin cottage with sea viewsThe 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 grapesThe 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 buildThe 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Plot Giardina - CastelbuonoHilltop development plot with planning permission near castelbuonoThis four thousand square metre estate of undeveloped hillside land is not only of interest for its picturesque location in the Madonie Natural Park, or the endless panoramas offered between the olive and fruit trees scattered across its fertile soil.Plot Giardina has development permission already in place, with plans approved by the local authorities for the construction of a three bedroom house with private swimming pool.A professional plan in placeWhile the temptations of building your own home in Sicily are obvious, the process is a notoriously complex one. In order to build, land owners can spend tens of thousands of Euro, and lose many stressful months in pursuit of the requisite consents. The bureaucracy here is fiendish, and a single misfiling can set a project back months.The seller of Plot Giardina is himself a well-known local architect, and his blueprints are listed for sale along with the land. If not for a change in life circumstances he would be developing the site himself in 2023, and so you can be guaranteed to find yourself dealing with a project that has been cared with both professional skill and personal passion.Create your own designOf course, if you have a different vision for Plot Giardina it would be entirely your choice to start over from scratch and commission a new architect. But for a new developer, or one looking to extract maximum value from the purchase price, the option to use the existing plans is one we'd strongly recommend.The proposed villaThe designs, which you can explore in full via 's complete listing (see below for details) are for a two storey home with a pitched roof and superb views throughout. A huge sunny terrace would wrap around the villa, with direct entrances from all rooms.A modern, open plan living space would be flanked on two sides by huge full-length windows, creating a space where the natural sunshine of Sicily can ba harnessed to offer a warming brightness all year round.With the swimming pool below to put an unmistakable flourish on the villa of your dreams, we think there's huge untapped value on offer in this spacious, rich and colourful estate. Want to know more?

Casa Pinuccia - GratteriWith sea views and timeless charm, Casa Pinuccia would be perfect for a buyer who wants the thrill of restoring an old home in Sicily.THREE-storey home with bedroom,living room and kitchen Casa Pinuccia's layout is simple, with a 15m2 living room on the ground floor, a bedroom of the same size on the first floor and a kitchen and dining room on the second. Tucked away under the first staircase is a ground floor bathroom with a miniature tub and shower attachment. The living room opens straight onto the street through double doors which also let plenty of light into the cosy space.The first floor bedroom has the bonus of a sea-view balcony, and the dining room upstairs has the same. The room is only a little smaller than those below, despite the presence of the kitchen. We would actually love to see this floor opened up and turned into a single kitchen-diner. Doing this you could even put in a sofa and a couple of bookcases and allow yourselves to use the ground floor as a second bedroom. It would do justice to the sensational view from the balcony.A renovation challenge with a characterful coreThere is no getting away from the fact that a lot of work is going to be needed, not least on the wooden ceilings which have suffered from water damage. Beyond this Casa Pinuccia will need new windows, electrical wiring and plumbing to bring it up to modern safety codes. Additionally the fascia needs to be refreshed, and the elderly air conditioners replaced – we would suggest with two-way heat pumps.On the plus side of the ledger, the staircase was redone in concrete in the 1980s, finished with some lovely Sicilian marble and remains in great condition. The bathroom is from a similar era but the simple decoration has aged well and everything still works efficiently. The roof is also holiding up well. You'll love the decorative floor tiles throughout the home, and the fixed wood oven built right into the kitchen wall is a must-keep.Amazing hilltop location in sicily's favourite natural parkThe position of Casa Pinuccia is a huge selling point. Everything that surrounds Gratteri is beautiful green hillside, which stretches up to the towering peaks of the upper Madonie and down to the pristine Tyrrhenian Sea below. Although you could enjoy a different route around the fields, woodland and mountainsides of the region every day for a year, you'll also adore the fact that the nearest sandy beach is just 20 minutes away by car. The spectacular seafront of Norman Cefalu is only five minutes beyond that. And Palermo reachable in not much over an hour.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Casa Silvia - Castellammare del GolfoThree apartments, one building, incredible summers. Casa Silvia offers the dream setup for big families: modern comfort, Sicilian soul, and the beach just a short walk away.Three times the "dolce vita"Spanning three floors, Casa Silvia brings together three separate apartments under one roof, ideal for large or multi-generational families who want shared holidays without stepping on each other’s toes.

The location puts you on the doorstep of the best that western Sicily has to offer: Scopello, Segesta, San Vito Lo Capo, and Palermo, all within an hour.

Casa Concetta - CustonaciTwo separate holiday homes with a shared driveway and outdoor spaces, Casa Concetta is a great opportunity to run a small tourist business in Sicily or even to move here full time and welcome all the guests you like. Only twenty minutes from the world-famous beach of San Vito Lo Capo it will certainly never be a hard sell to visitors!Classic sicilian architecture in a beautiful natural settingThe house is a long low building with straight lines, topped by an almost flat roof in traditional Sicilian curved tiles. Seen from any angle it fits perfectly against the tall rocky hillsides to either side of it. The rusticated plaster walls are painted a warm sandy yellow, and a subtle accent of exposed stone echoes the low walls that border the garden and pathways. Occasional majolica tiles add a decorative touch: this is a quintessentially Sicilian house, one you just couldn't find in the north of Italy.A veranda at the front of the first apartment and one at the side of the second offer shade and space to relax or eat al-fresco. There's a built-in stone oven, a storeroom and even an outdoor shower. Guests will be certainly appreciate the off-street parking for two or more vehicles. Sleeps eight in comfortThe two apartments are different shapes and were built at different times, but similar in size and the distribution of spaces. The only major difference is that while the upper of the two has a double and a twin bedroom, the first flat has a double plus two singles. One of the singles, at a push, could become a twin. Each one, except the smallest room in the lower apartment, has its own air conditioning unit.Each then has a roomy living space that includes a fitted kitchenette, a dining area and space to relax with a sofa. The bathrooms both have showers and the kitchens have washing machines. The upper apartment is fitted and furnished in slightly more comfort, with modern insulating windows, a newer kitchen and more decorative touches. The lower one is, however, the bigger of the two.A perfect location for a sunny escapeAs we mentioned before, the Caribbean-style seafront of San Vito Lo Capo is just a few kilometres up the road, but the beach options certainly don't end there. Cornino is only ten minutes away and while popular with locals is largely overlooked by tourists, and the same could be said of Macari, fifteen minutes in the other direction.Scopello, on the other side of the headland, is a charming little fishing village, while Castellammare del Golfo is a bigger seaside town. North of Scopello is the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, a magical wild spot that can only be explored on foot or by boat. Further south, a short ferry from the nearby city of Trapani, are the stunning Egadi islands.Nor is this only a beach location. The historic hilltop town of Erice, the salt pans of Trapani and the vineyards of Marsala are all in easy reach.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

That said, there’s clear potential to add value: a bathroom renovation, some fresh plaster and paint, and optional updates to the kitchen would quickly lift the whole property.

Casa Matteo - GratteriIn the small village of Gratteri, seven kilometres inland and 650m above sea level in the heart of the Madonie Natural Park, Casa Matteo is a must-see for buyers interested in renovating an historic .Magnificent views of the sea and mountainsThe steep terrain and the height of this terraced palazzo building combine to offer unobstructed sea views from the second and third floors. The former even has a balcony that offers you the chance to enjoy the fabulous coastal panorama in the open air.At the moment, the top floor kitchen only has a small window facing north towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, but we think that even a mid-budget renovation project would be able to create a terrace on this level that would give you a bird's eye view of an enormous swathe of northern Sicily.To the rear, Casa Matteo has a view of the surrounding village from the upper floors, which is as charming as the front is dramatic and memorable.Four storeys and over 150M2 of living spaceThe home is divided into six rooms, which could be configured in a variety of ways. Most of these are over 15m2, and the largest space, a second floor pair of rooms connected through a broad archway, offers over 40m2, plus the sea-view balcony at the front.We imagine the finished home with two bedrooms on the lower levels, a beautiful living room-cum-diner on the second floor and an unforgettable kitchen with full-wall glazing opening onto a roof terrace at the top of the property.A renovation challenge that offers a rich rewardAs you'll see from our virtual tour and photography, it is obviously going to be necessary to dedicate time and budget to the historic home. The exact budget will depend on your needs and tastes, as well as how much of the work you're in a position to take care of yourself. We estimate that the final investment will need to be in the region of €110,000 – really, a bargain for the chance to own a piece of Sicilian heritage that's been remodelled to your exact taste.Some features that we think it would be a shame not to incorporate into the final design include a staircase made from the rare and exceptionally durable Billiemi stone, two floors' worth of clay tiles and the antique bread oven which has been built into the kitchen. Take a tour and let your imagination start to work on this fascinating restoration project!For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Plot Dispenza – Sea-view Buildable Land in Sicily's Madonie Natural Park, with Consent to Build Multiple Homes or a Holiday VillageA beautiful stretch of sea-view land on the hillsides of northern Sicily, Plot Dispenza offers nearly two hectares of meadow and olive trees, bursting with potential.The plot is beautiful and the location scenic, but the real key asset here is the fact that it has been classed as Zone C 'buildable' land. In contrast to most land which becomes available to the international market, this allows for a far larger-scale development project.Ready to develop, with permission to buildOn 'Zone C' land it is permitted to build 0.1m3 of habitable structure for every m2 of ground space. In the case of Plot Dispenza that translates to 600m2 of housing or accommodation.This is enough to build a medium-sized holiday village or glamping resort for tourists, a residential complex suitable for timeshare or second homes, or simply four or five detached villas, depending on the scale of each. Of course, it would also be possible to build a single structure, a really vast luxury home. But from an investment standpoint the best returns are likely to come from dividing the land.Five kilometres from the beach, in the foothills of a stunning Natural ParkThe site is directly adjacent to the SP9 road which runs downhill from Collesano, on the lower slopes of the picturesque Madonie Natural Park, to Campofelice di Roccella on the Tyrrhenian Sea. With the iconic beach town of Cefalù less than half an hour to the east, and the international airport at Palermo just an hour to the west, the location is a perfect one.Collesano is an extremely popular destination with the international market, and even in this out-of-town district we have recently helped buyers from Austria, Germany and the USA buy villas and land in the immediate neighbourhood. It is a wonderful, open-minded community where the best of traditional Sicilian heritage blends seamlessly with new arrivals from all corners of the world.If you are ready to take on a challenge, Plot Dispenza is incredibly rich in potential.
