Villa Tiziana - Casteldaccia An oasis of calm fifteen miles outside Palermo, Villa Tiziana is an elegant six-bedroom home with sea views and a shady garden. A phenomenal location, almost at the water's edge One kilometre east of Casteldaccia in the province of Palermo, between the state road and motorway that follow Sicily's north coast and the shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a little stretch of residential development follows the sandy beaches. This is a quiet neighbourhood characterised by large villas organised along private cul-de-sacs, and midway along one of these we find Villa Tiziana. The street is gated, with the maintenance costs of the private road shared by a small number of residents. In return they enjoy private access to a lovely little sandy bay, which is otherwise reachable only by sea. From the northern corner of the semi-detached property to the water's edge is not even 100m as the crow flies – you will be able to hear and smell the salt water from every outdoor space of your huge Sicilian beach house. A huge, versatile villa sleeping a dozen in comfort The three storeys of this semi-detached villa are efficiently divided, with a minimum of passageways and hallways and an emphasis on community. Everything indoors begins from the 45m2 living room-cum-diner; a focal point for family life that connects to the gardens, the kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms. Upstairs a sunny landing leads you to three more double bedrooms, each of which opens directly onto the deep open terrace. From here you can take an external staircase up to the flat roof, from where you can enjoy a fantastic 360 degree panorama that takes in lush green hills, pristine white homes and sparkling turquoise sea, all under the vast blue canopy of the Sicilian sky. Underground, a basement offers storage space across the full size of the building; over 60m2 which could in the future become a home gym, family room or even a studio apartment. Furnished and habitable: no further investiment needed The vendors have only made Villa Tiziana their summer home, meaning that despite being nearly half a century old it has aged very well. A pair of the bedrooms downstairs are recent additions, and one of the upper ones has been renovated with a new floor and a lovely feature wall. Any renovation work would be purely a question of personal taste, priorities or aesthetics. The windows are single-glazed but beautifully made in solid wood. The bathrooms are original from the 1980s, but still work with no issue. The outdoor kitchen could be refreshed but the stone ovens are there forever. The basement would need work to be used as a living space, but does the job of a large storeroom perfectly. For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?
