Casa Nido - Porticello Tucked into a quiet square just steps from the harbour, Casa Nido is a cosy studio apartment in the fishing village of Porticello. Originally a storage room, this raised ground-floor apartment has been converted into a compact 24m² home, with a glazed front door that brings natural light in. Stairs lead up to a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed, framed by a second arch in the old Sicilian style. Ornate ironwork of a kind usually found above grand palazzo doorways has been repurposed as a window through this archway, keeping the sleeping area secure while still letting air flow freely. Downstairs, peach-coloured walls and a simple kitchen with gas hobs, a fridge and a washing machine complete a practical, good-looking interior. There are even two small bathrooms, one on each level. Five Minutes from Everything Step outside and the sea is barely 150 metres away, with the village's newly relandscaped seafront park, Piano Stenditore, just two minutes on foot and a sandy beach close by. The harbour's fish stalls, a handful of restaurants and a local bakery cover daily life, and parking is easier to come by here than in most Sicilian harbour villages. A little further along the coast, the old fishing hamlet of Sant'Elia has a pretty cove of its own, while the archaeological park of Solunto and the nature reserve of Monte Catalfano rise above the village. The Baroque town of Bagheria is a short drive inland, the train station is about ten minutes on foot, and from there Palermo is half an hour away and the airport about 45 minutes by car. A Canvas to Make Your Own Priced to reflect its size and its potential, Casa Nido is one of the most affordable ways to gain a foothold in the Sicilian property market, without any need to renovate or invest further. We see potential in simplifying the layout by removing one of the two bathrooms, and the downstairs could use some decorative touches. It is, however, ready for immediate use.

SUN, space and sea air The second-floor apartment occupies the top residential level of a small three-unit building, with balconies running along three sides and a large roof terrace for the exclusive use of the buyer. Inside, the layout is generous: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storeroom, an eat-in kitchen and a living room with dual exposition that catches light from the south-west and south-east. Ceiling height is 3 metres throughout, and the warm patterned tile floors match the wooden trim for a cohesive, welcoming feel. A roof terrace to make your own Upstairs, the open-air terrace is a highlight. Large enough to accommodate a pergola, outdoor kitchen and seating area, it’s the kind of versatile outdoor space that’s hard to come by at this price point. With a small adjustment to the front parapet, a partial sea view can be opened up – and the terrace can even be divided to serve two separate units, should you choose to split the apartment for rental income. Porticello: character and convenience The marina is 300 metres away, the beach 650 metres, and the lovely inlet at Sant’Elia just over a kilometre along the coast. Santa Flavia’s train station is a kilometre inland, with services to Palermo in twenty minutes. The area is rich in archaeology, natural beauty and fresh seafood, yet remains blissfully free of mass tourism. Affordable and ready to use The apartment is in sound condition and will need no urgent work. However, some modernising would definitely bring the best out of it. We recommend redoing the electrical system, bathrooms and windows, but this is reflected in a very appealing asking price. Its generous footprint also makes it possible to divide into two separate units, if you're seeking rental income or a smaller home with a guest flat. With balconies on three sides, high ceilings, a roof terrace and a fishing village location minutes from Palermo, this is a highly recommendable mid-range purchase with plenty of scope to add value, both indoors and out.

Casa Davide - Solanto Overlooking the little piazza at the heart of its historic fishing village, Casa Davide is a two-bedroom apartment in the Borgo di Solanto, within the municipality of Santa Flavia. With private access to a beach just a few metres away and Palermo's airport only a 45 minute drive, it would make a gorgeous holiday home on Sicily's north coast. Private access to the sea The Borgo di Solanto grew up around a castle built in the twelfth century to protect the local tuna fishery and later became a retreat for Sicilian aristocrats and Bourbon royalty. The exclusive atmosphere continues to this day, as Casa Davide enjoys a private right of way down to a beach club on the small stretch of seafront just a few metres away. Housed within a little condominium with just two other apartments, it benefits from a dual entrance, with a raised front porch overlooking the sunny town square and a shared courtyard at street level to the rear. Period character and modern comforts High ceilings, original tiled floors and solid wood window frames give the apartment the feel of a proper Sicilian home. The spacious living room is big enough for a sizeable dining table and shares with the compact kitchen a lovely view of the piazza in front of the property. To the rear, beyond the two double bedrooms, the bathroom has been recently renovated with smart new tiling and a large walk-in shower. An underground cistern of 18,000 litres and air conditioning in the living area ensure year-round comfort. Minutes from palermo, but complete peace and serenity On the headland of Mongerbino and Monte Catalfano, just ten kilometres east of Sicily's boisterous capital city, Solanto feels a world away. Facing out onto the long lazy Gulf of Termini Imerese, it has views of twinkling sea and green hills that rise up to the mountains of the Madonie Natural Park. Nonetheless, the metropolis can be reached in just twenty minutes by road or rail - Santa Flavia station is under two kilometres away. You'll find convenient supermarkets and everyday infrastructure in nearby Bagheria and Casteldaccia. Cefalù is about forty minutes by car, and the international airport under 45 minutes. It's actually remarkable that despite this convenience and the heritage of Solanto, the village itself is almost totally undisturbed by mass tourism. There would, however, be a market for such a charming and well-located apartment as a short-term holiday let. Ready for immediate use The property is fully habitable, with all services connected and a recently modernised bathroom. Some cosmetic updates could give it an extra layer of polish, but there would be absolutely no pressure to do any work before you move in.
