Property in Sicily

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?

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. Each unit has its own kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and balconies. The crown jewel is a panoramic veranda on the top floor, complete with sea, town, and mountain views. With room for sunbeds, dinners, or just a quiet aperitivo under the retractable awning, it’s a private perch you’ll never want to leave.Modern comforts,timeless sicilian styleForget dusty renovations, Casa Silvia is move-in ready. Each apartment boasts clean-lined bathrooms, sleek kitchens, solar-powered hot water, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and central heating. The design is tasteful, unfussy, and quietly elegant. But this isn’t simply modern minimalism, terracotta accents, tiled staircases, and Sicilian warmth run throughout. You get all the reliability of a new build, with just enough character to remind you you’re in one of Italy’s most storied regions.Beaches, boats and bellissime viewsSet in Castellammare del Golfo’s historic centre, the property is just a 10 to 15-minute stroll from beaches, trattorias, and the postcard-perfect harbour, while shops and essentials are even closer. 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. With an airport just 35 minutes away, coming and going is easy, though once you arrive, you may never want to leave. 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 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?

Appartamento Rosaria - Gioiosa MareaLooking for an affordable coastal home in Sicily that doesn’t require a full renovation? Appartamento Rosaria might just be the answer.Space and light in the heart of townLocated on the first floor of a well-kept building in Gioiosa Marea, Appartamento Rosaria offers around 96m² of living space with a bright and airy feel. The heart of the home is a spacious living-dining room, complete with air conditioning, two sofas, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. From here, you’ll find two bedrooms, each with its own balcony, making this an ideal setup for family living, guests, or a home office.Partial sea views and three balconiesWhile the apartment isn’t right on the seafront, it still offers charming partial sea views from the kitchen, bathroom, and communal stairwell. The south-facing Juliet balcony off the kitchen brings in extra daylight and gives you that sought-after Sicilian indoor-outdoor connection. Plus, with two additional balconies off the bedrooms, you’ll have no shortage of spots to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening breeze.MOVE-in ready with scope to improveAppartamento Rosaria already comes with independent heating, working electrics, and a fully operational kitchen and bathroom. The floors are in good condition, and the space is comfortably liveable as it is. 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. Whether you’re looking for a starter holiday home, an affordable rental investment, or a project with manageable upgrades, Appartamento Rosaria delivers great value just a short stroll from the beach. Want to know more?

Casa Marinella - MistrettaA fabulous value-for-money proposition for a buyer with a little time to invest and the appetite for a renovation, Casa Marinella is a four-bedroom villa with an unbeatable view.Miles of Stunning Hillside Laid Out in Front of YouOn the western edges of the Nebrodi Natural Park, less than four kilometres from the hilltop town of Mistretta, Casa Marinella stands on the western bank of a dramatic valley, which plunges 400m downhill over just a couple of kilometres, directly to the rear of the house. With the mountains opposite rising up to peaks over a thousand metres above sea level, and the waters of the Mediterranean visible on the horizon away to your left, it's a magical panorama almost completely undisturbed by human activity.The two-storey villa has been built to take full advantage of this, at the top of a 4,000m2 plot filled with over a hundred olive and fruit trees, but offering an uninterrupted view over their green canopy from the ground floor terrace and the balcony upstairs. The lower level has nearly 50m2 of mostly covered patio, including an outdoor kitchen with traditional stone fireplaces and grill. This is a property which will transport you to a simpler way of life, in contact with nature and the food chain.220M2 of living space on two floorsOf course, there is also a conventional kitchen indoors with an antique bread oven, none the less spacious and with room for a family dining table. Joining it on the ground floor are a living room whose window overlooks the valley, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Each of these last two spaces have patio doors straight out onto the terrace. On the first floor you'll find four more rooms and a second bathroom, although the fixtures for this are yet to be installed. Two of the rooms have valley views (even taking in the sea seven kilometres to the north, on a clear day), and the home is flanked by the balcony on two sides. To the rear there is another terrace, a large flat space which takes full advantage of the gradient of the land.A renovation project with a fabulous payoffThere is a lot of work to be done before Casa Marinella can be said to be truly complete – the upper floor in particular is very much a work in progress. The walls need to be plastered and even, in some points, raised to the level of the roof. The floor is still in cement, and all of the decoration will need to be done from scratch. Of course, the advantage of this is that you can set the place up to look exactly as you would like.The ground floor could be used straight away, and indeed you could live there while working upstairs. At some point it, too, will need a fair amount of work however, with the wiring, windows and bathroom all in particular need of attention. Casa Marinella is definitely a project house – but for the sum of the purchase price and an investment around €100,000 you could own a really stunning big home fifteen minutes from the sea in one of Sicily's most underrated regions.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Appartamento Francesco - Sant'EliaA modern, family-friendly apartment on the second and third floors of a 2008 apartment block, Appartamento Francesco, in the little fishing community of Sant'Elia offers some amazing sea views. The one from the panoramic roof terrace, in particular, is second to none.Vast sea-view roof terrace with outdoor kitchenWe'll talk you through the interior of the flat in a second, but we have to start with the undoubted star of the show, a massive roof terrace that covers almost the whole footprint of the building. This features a covered outdoor kitchen, with everything you need to cater for your family and friends in perfect al fresco style. There's even a fixed grill directly overlooking the sea below.The terrace, which is completely private and accessed only via an internal staircase from inside Appartamento Francesco, has also got more than enough open space for the whole family to enjoy long sunny afternoons together. There's even a small storeroom just inside the door that's the perfect place to keep all of your lighter outdoor furniture when the terrace isn't being used.Tho bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge lounge and a separate kitchenThe spacious home is joined to its neighbours on only a single side, with balconies on the remaining three. Superbly, these can be reached from every room of the home except the bathrooms, and several of them offer views of the nearby water.The primary space is a lounge measuring over 30m2, with more than enough room for a dining area. The adjoining kitchen is also spacious and beautifully fitted with plenty of storage and food preparation space. The bedrooms are both roomy doubles, and the bathrooms have a shower and a bath tub respectively.The sale also includes a double garage measuring 60m2, linked to the apartment by a direct stairwell.A great property for a stress-FREE, quick relocationThe location is really good for bringing a young family over, with all the advantages of letting young children grow up in a world of beautiful natural environments. As well as a range of fascinating beaches and the adventure of the sea itself, there's the nature reserve of nearby Monte Catalfano, the historical treasures of the neighbouring Solunto archaeological site, and the unique fusion of cultures to be found in nearby Palermo. Even if you're just hosting young ones in the summer they'll be certain to head home with a lifetime of special memories.The vendors are including the kitchen and bathroom fittings, and are also willing to accept fair offers for the larger pieces of furniture. They're currently living in the flat, but will be able to move out as soon as a sale is complete. So if you can strike a deal you would be able to move in almost instantly.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

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.

Villette Venere - Altavilla MiliciaCurrently 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 homesEach 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 CustomiseThe 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 ConvenienceThe 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 Want to know more?

Villa Orazio - BrucoliHuge detached villaThe three-storey property features four bedrooms of two different sizes, each of which is large enough to be a double if needed. Of course, one could easily become a home office while still giving you a sleeping capacity of six, before you consider adding any sofa beds in the huge living room. These are served by a pair of bathrooms, each with a box shower and a modern suite of fittings.Communal spaces indoors include a very large kitchen-dining room on the first floor, with some lovely exposed stonework on the stairs and dividing archways, and an equally large living room on the top floor, under a gently sloping wooden roof whose beans have been left exposed to give a suggestion of a mountain chalet. Both of these family spaces have been designed with full-wall glazing on the corner which faces down the hill and overlooks the bay below.Recently renovated and in beautiful conditionThe villa was fully remodelled in 2018, and has new windows, roof and flooring. The kitchen is in great condition and offers all the space you could need for food storage and preparation. Gas-powered radiators provide heat throughout the property, and modern air conditioning units are found in all of the larger rooms.The exterior has been designed in a style which blends traditional Sicilian lines with some neoclassical touches, including the Roman arches which partially enclose the deep veranda flanking the first floor. The open terrace on the top floor is also framed by some decorative balustrades. The only area which remains to be finished is the basement room, a space of about 80m2, only partially underground, next to the double garage. This has all of the necessary connections and wiring to be turned into a playroom, gym, workshop or even a self-contained studio flat, but it will be left to the new buyer to make the choice and oversee the work.Perfect for the sea, convenient for the cityThe nearest beach is a beautiful sandy cove which can be reached in just three minutes by car. It is found in a residential district filled with similar properties and mostly inhabited year-round, while the nearest little village, Brucoli, is less than ten minutes away.For bigger and more varied urban infrastructure and cultural attractions of all kinds, Sicily's second-largest city, Catania, is only half an hour away to the north. This includes the large international airport at Fontanarossa, which offers flights to almost every country in Europe. Whether you're making Villa Orazio your home and jetting back to visit friends, or living further north and wanting to visit without wasting any excess time in travel, it's a perfect, well-connected location.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?
