Casa Lidia - PorticelloIf you are looking for a flat that encapsulates all the typicality of Sicily, casa Lidia is the right house for you.Located in the centre of Porticello, a small fishing village just over 10 km from Palermo, casa Lidia offers everything a foreigner would expect from Sicily.Porticello is a beautiful and typical Sicilian seaside village where time has stood still.The sea and the fishermen's port frame the small streets, the small squares nestled between ancient palazzos, the shops with their fruit and fish stalls smiling at you every morning, the smell of fresh bread, the old people sitting on the benches chatting.The town has a station (Santa Flavia) less than 2 km from the centre that can take you to Palermo in a few minutes or to Trapani in about 1 hour or to Catania in less than 2 hours.Palermo airport can be reached in just under 1 hour while the beautiful beaches of the east coast of Sicily (Noto, Marzamemi, Siracusa) are just over 2 hours away.The HouseCasa Lidia is located right in front of the fishermen's port.The 3-storey building is in good condition, the facades do not need painting.The property is located on the second and third floor of the building.The house on the first floor is currently uninhabited.It is accessed from a beautiful and characteristic small square.The current distribution of the house has the sleeping area on the second floor and the living area on the third.Once up the stairs and onto the second floor a small hallway leads to a large balcony bedroom. The view is right on the square but from the right side of the balcony you can admire the splendid view of the 'marina'.In the large room there is also a storage room which could be used as a second bathroom.Continuing along the room, one can find on the right-hand side a door giving access to another large bedroom.On the third floor one can instead find a kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom, a small bedroom and a beautiful terrace with a splendid view of the sea.The entire Gulf of Solunto is clearly visible as well as the fishermen's port.The property is currently inhabited, however, a renovation would greatly enhance the beauty of the house. The layout of the interior spaces could also be revised to make the house more functional.Nevertheless, if desired, the property could be inhabited without any problems in its present condition. Want to know more?

Bauland Plot Oliveto - CollesanoCollesano This plot is 22,000 m² in size, slightly hilly and faces north - the sea - and is perhaps 2 km from Campofelice as the crow flies. The main feature of this property is the beautifully tended olive trees, which number around 450 and are very productive. A power line runs past the property, so that only a well needs to be drilled, as there is no water connection. Alternatively, a pipe could be laid from the nearest water pipe across the neighbors' plots. The access road is currently somewhat precarious, as the shortest connection to the north has become difficult to pass due to a storm. Before selling, we need to clarify with the neighbors whether these 50 m could perhaps be repaired through a joint investment. This would only cost a few 100 € each, the price asked by the owners is in the region of around 100,000 €, which is in this area.If you build your dream house on this plot, you can realize over 200 m² of living space, of course the house can also be smaller. Other families, including some Germans, have already built their homes on similarly sized neighboring plots.Surroundings The welcoming and versatile town of Collesano was initially a Moorish fortress on Monte d'Oro, the so-called Gold Hill, before it was renamed Golisanum. Conquered by the Norman Count Roger in the 13th century, it became the center of a large feudal lordship with strong military protection and economic interests that stretched from the sea to the heart of the Madonie.Today's Collesano stretches almost as far as the sea and borders the coastal towns of Campofelice di Roccella and Lascari to the north. To the east, it touches another of our most popular real estate tips in the region, Gratteri.The town, with a population of around four thousand, caught our eye when we noticed a recent boom in international buyers in the town, who have formed a very welcoming and active community. Not that the local way of life is in any way under threat, as many of Collesano's residents are descended from families who have made their home in the town for centuries. The old mystery plays “la Cercha” and “la Casazza” are still performed to celebrate Holy Week, and the festivals around the “Chiesa Madre” bring the town to life.More recently, the town has made a name for itself as a center for beautiful handmade ceramics and has entered motorsport folklore as the venue for the legendary Targa Florio, the world's first rally of its kind. The small village's hairpin bend was a precursor to the famous bend in Monte Carlo - and perhaps even the inspiration for it.All the stores, bars and restaurants you and your guests need for a relaxed day out can be found just a few minutes' walk from your stunning front door. This is the most historic and beautiful part of the city. On the northern edge of the city, the architecture becomes a little more modern, but the view of the sea is truly unforgettable.The nearest sandy beach is only 20 minutes away, and the famous golden sandy beach of Cefalù can be reached in just a little more time. Sicily's main city, Palermo, is only an hour to the west, and if you prefer to take the train, you can catch a train at sea level in Campofelice. Want to know more?

Palazzo Peri - CollesanoA vast complex covering 800m2, right in the heart of a historic Sicilian town, Palazzo Peri stands at the very heart of Collesano in the Madonie Natural Park. An eighteenth century building with wonderful history, it would be a wonderfully inspiring project to take on.With over twenty rooms, on three storeys, and an entire deconsecrated church included in the sale, we're not overselling this when we describe it as one of the most remarkable real estate opportunities to have passed across our desk since we first entered the industryA stately home with a baroque facadeThe living space is huge, with sixteen rooms plus kitchens and bathrooms. Almost all of these are large enough to become a spacious double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Two at the front of the property have ornately decorated balconies, and those on the top floor have fabulous views over the rooftops of Collesano to the green hills of the surrounding natural park.The marble staircases and tiled floors are still in very good condition for a building of this age. The plastering will obviously need to be completely redone, and the connections for plumbing and electricity installed as if from scratch. But there are beautiful elements to salvage, like the sturdy antique doors and the built-in pizza oven on the second floor kitchen.The old chapel, courtyard and storeroomsThe church is a large space, the size of a typical chapel, with a three-storey high roof and a simple layout. Off this, to the side, is a Sacristy which occupies two floors. To the rear is an L-shaped courtyard which is currently covered in grass, and runs up a slope. It receives sunshine in the middle of the day and could become an attractive little garden.Lastly, on the far side of this courtyard, you will find a complex of seven separate storerooms which are each big enough to hold machinery or large quantities of produce.An opportunity you really don't see every day The chance to restore a building with this kind of history – and this much sheer space – is a really rare and precious one. It could become a one-of-a-kind luxury villa for an investor who wants to entertain large numbers of guests in truly lavish style. Alternatively, perhaps its future lies as separate apartments – it should be possible to realise at least six or seven, all of good size.As a final possibility, it would be very easy to picture Palazzo Peri as a boutique luxury hotel, with a spa and sun terrace, offering huge characterful rooms in a magical medieval context. The bells of the old Chiesa Madre of Collesano echo from the fortified tower just across the street, and the cobbled streets of this enchanting old town are as atmospheric as the surrounding mountain- and sea-views are breathtaking. Want to know more?

Appartamento Francesca - PollinaSmall, affordable vacation apartment near the sea on the north coast of Sicily.SurroundingsPollina is a seaside resort about 15 km east of Cefalù This small, tranquil village lies at the foot of the Madonie mountains. Highway 113, which connects Palermo and Messina, runs through the village. Before the highway was built, it was the main link between east and west Sicily. Especially in summer, many Italian families live here and have a vacation apartment in the village. A well-known Italian tour operator has a very large vacation center here.The propertyCasa Francesca is a very small apartment (approx. 30 sqm) on the second floor of an apartment building. Behind the house entrance on the first floor there is an open staircase through which you reach the apartment.You enter this apartment and find yourself in a hallway from which a bathroom and an eat-in kitchen lead off. There is a balcony on the south side and on the roof of the house. This apartment of approximately 40 m² has an exclusive roof terrace with partial sea views. This roof terrace faces south, i.e. Not towards the sea. The apartment is in need of renovation in my opinion, but it is habitable. The sellers would also leave the furniture in the apartment, but it is very simple and also worn out. This small apartment is certainly not a dream property by the sea, but it would be the first step towards acquiring a ready-to-move-in property for little money in Sicily, for example. From here you can make very nice excursions, the beach is also within walking distance, we are talking about about 600 meters. There is plenty of parking space in front of the house and the cell phone signal reception is very good. Want to know more?

Casa Manuela - SelinunteDescriptionCasa Manuela is an apartment in a vacation complex located just a few hundred meters from a fantastic sandy beach.The town of Selinunte belongs to the municipality of Castelvetrano, which is located in the province of Trapani. This coastal town is home to the largest archaeological site in Europe, the archaeological park of Selinunte. Around 2500 years ago, the Greeks settled here and built a large city and temple complex.The small town of Selinunte used to be visited by holidaymakers only in July and August, but in recent years the season has become much longer, with tourists flocking here as early as April and staying until November.The apartment I am describing here was completed around 20 years ago along with 42 other houses, each of which has four apartments. This apartment is located in the lowest row and therefore right on the edge of the complex, you can reach the direct path to the fine sandy beach through a gate just 20 meters away. This vacation complex is organized in such a way that the administration maintains the green areas and the streets and together with the garbage fee and the water the monthly charge amounts to 70 €.According to the land registry extract, this apartment is 60 m² in size, but the living area is approximately 55 m² and the terrace has the same floor area. The apartment has two bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and a relatively spacious eat-in kitchen. The apartment is very nicely furnished and the furniture will be left in the apartment. As the two owners are working and live about 150 km away, they no longer have time to come and would therefore like to sell this apartment. This property is certainly not an investment for people who prefer to be alone all day. Families do not only live here in summer, but it is more likely to be an older clientele. Because this vacation complex is a little older, the trees and vegetation are extremely beautiful. You don't have to invest anything in this property, you can move straight in.SurroundingsThis vacation complex is located a few kilometers from Selinunte, about 5 minutes from the town by car. You can walk to the beach from here, it is about 500 meters from here begins a nature reserve that stretches for several kilometers and where you can make beautiful walks. Want to know more?

Casa Puccio - SciaccaThis typical Sicilian old town house is located in the center of the south-western Sicilian port town of Sciacca.SurroundingsThe house is certainly more than 100 years old, and the walls are correspondingly thick. The old town of Sciacca is located on a hill, so that this house can only be reached by a very small car. You usually park in the market square in the upper part of the town and then walk about 100-150 m to the house.The propertyThe house has the typical charm of a Sicilian old town property, it extends over three floors and as it is situated on a slope, both the first floor and the first floor have direct access from a small street. Theoretically, the first floor could also be lived in independently and separated from the rest of the house. There is a toilet on both the first floor and the second floor. From the second floor, a relatively comfortable internal staircase leads to the top floor, where we find a roof terrace of around 40 m², which also offers a partial sea view between the houses.The house originally belonged to a Sicilian family who emigrated to Germany and the current owners, the heirs of the former emigrants, are no longer interested in this house, which is why they want to sell it. The house is in an average condition, it can also be described as inhabited, especially since the smaller, damp areas in the house are still being repaired by the current owners. These damp patches are not so much due to the ingress of moisture from outside, but mainly because the house has not been lived in for many months.OptionsThe owners are asking a z#price of €57,000 for this key-ready house with the existing furnishings, which seems justified given the approximately €35,000 invested in recent years 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?
