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 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?

Appartamento Natale – Santa FlaviaQuite large and bright flat with 80sqm size and just as large roof terrace directly above for exclusive use! Perfect sea view, 360 degree panorama.SurroundingsSanta Flavia is a suburb of Palermo. The neighbourhood of the flat is - like the whole town of Santa Flavia - "bourgeois". Shopping facilities, bars, restaurants and the train station with excellent connections to Palermo are just a few hundred metres away. The house is therefore ideal for a car-free yet mobile holiday in Sicily.The propertyThe flat is located on the third and fourth floor in Santa Flavia, there is no lift. The flat is very bright, especially on the west side, as there are two large French windows with a balcony in front.The flat is generously proportioned. You enter the flat and find yourself in a hallway. From this corridor, you turn right into a small room with a window overlooking an inner courtyard, which is very bright due to the atrium, as we are on the third and top floor. This room is relatively small, but would be enough for a bed and a wardrobe and perhaps also a desk. When we leave this room, the bathroom with a bathtub, a bidet, a toilet and a washbasin is on the right-hand side. The bathroom is not small (but not large either) and also has a window into this relatively bright atrium. Three more doors lead off the corridor: Two large bedrooms each around 20 m² facing west with a balcony in front and a not so bright, large room with a kitchenette. This room only has contact through the window into the atrium, which leads off from the kitchenette.The entire flat has a floor area of around 80 m² and would be very large for a holiday flat in Santa Flavia. We ourselves have a holiday home in Santa Flavia, Casa Maria, which has eight flats, but they are only between 25 and 50 m² in size and can be rented out very well.The special thing about this flat is definitely the fourth floor, where the large roof terrace is located. This roof terrace offers a 360° panoramic view, from which you can see the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the promontories and the village of Santa Flavia with the village of Bagheria behind it and even Palermo on the horizon on the other.PotentialHowever, this roof terrace is in need of renovation. Even with an asking price of €65,000, this would not have been possible otherwise. If you are really interested in this flat, we can consult a master bricklayer and ask him to make an estimate for the renovation of the roof terrace and the entire flat. I would also check the electrical system in the flat and replace it if necessary, redo the bathroom and kitchen, check the water pipes and fit the two bedrooms with air conditioning. An initial inspection by the technician led to a cost estimate of €45,000.There is natural gas down the road, but perhaps the cost of installing central heating is too high for you. When we bought Casa Maria 20 years ago and furnished the flats there, we fitted all the rooms with radiators and natural gas heating. It pays off for us, because we also rent out these flats very well in winter. If you want to sacrifice part of the roof terrace to install photovoltaics there, the natural gas would be pointless, but a supply of electricity would make sense. For example, we could install a roof with photovoltaic modules, for which you would not need a licence and would thus have sun protection even in strong sunshine.This flat is very suitable as an investment. Of course, it is not possible to guarantee in advance how high the annual income will be. This always depends on the facilities, such as heating. What is certain, however, is that you can rent out this flat with the roof terrace very easily and at a good price. As a family, we bought and completely renovated two entire apartment blocks over three floors just 30 metres away. These properties rent out very well and we have a mix of long-term and short-term rentals there. Santa Flavia is a place where we prefer to invest than in Cefalù, for example. This is because Santa Flavia has significantly lower property prices, but the rentals work almost all year round, which cannot be said of Cefalù. You can reach Palermo in just 16 minutes by train, which is why Santa Flavia is often chosen as a holiday destination in the winter months. Even at this time of year, life goes on as normal. The fishing harbour is a place of constant life and all the shops and restaurants are open. With this flat, it doesn't really matter if you can bargain down €5000. What is more important is that you want a property that can be renovated and where you can still decide the layout of the rooms yourself.As you may know, many of our customers buy a property that still needs to be renovated or built. In the case of Appartamento Natale, it is more a case of simple renovation work, which we as a company can also supervise. As we live locally ourselves, this is not a problem for us, we have a network of technicians, craftsmen and architects here who will help you with the realisation. But I don't think you need architects for this type of renovation, because it's more of a simple renovation job where you mainly have to choose the materials. A technician must notify the municipality of these works. You will of course receive cost estimates for each job to be carried out and you can decide in each case.When buying this property, I would therefore recommend that you have a power of attorney issued for us so that not only can we buy this property for you, but we can also sign for the renovation work later if any signatures are required for the municipality and you don't have to travel to Sicily for every little thing.

Appartamenti Martina amp; Silvia - BagheriaAppartamento Martina and Appartamento Silva are twin apartments on the top floor of a modern condominium on the outskirts of Bagheria. Each is offered for sale separately.The vendor is also offering a loft space with extra bathroom above the pair, with an asking price of €30,000. They will consider offers for buying two or all three of the units together.100m2, Three Bedrooms and Two BathroomsBoth apartments have the same floor plan, with a large living room-diner the main space, opening onto a huge 15m2 balcony. To one side is the spacious kitchen, and to the other is a little corridor leading to the three double bedrooms and two bathrooms.Two of the bedrooms offer balcony access. One, like the kitchen, has French windows onto the main balcony, shared with the living room. The master bedroom has a smaller, private balcony facing north, with (in the case of both apartments) a sea view, looking north towards Monte Catalfano and the coast of Mongerbino. A Personal ChoiceThe main difference between the pair is that while Martina's long balcony looks west, Silva's faces east. Martina has a view of the green stretch of land between Bagheria and Aspra, and also takes in the Gulf of Palermo and the mountains which ring the city on the horizon. Silvia's, on the other hand, is a city view which enjoys some direct sunshine in the mornings.Neither apartment is fitted or furnished, save for the bathrooms. Martina has gas-powered radiators, whose recently installed boiler is currently fed from cylinders. It would be preferable to request a connection to the gas main in the future. Silvia on the other hand has a pair of air conditioning units, which circulate both hot and cold air.Connected to the City and the SeaAlthough Bagheria has a storied past, growing up primarily around a cluster of stunning eighteenth and nineteenth century villas that served as summer escapes for the gentry of Palermo, these days it is in large part a commuter town, and as such the transport connections are well above average for Sicily. Buses, trains and a motorway will all take you into the centre of Palermo in twenty minutes. The station is a walkable 15 minutes from the apartment. So too is the town centre, while the beaches of Aspra, Porticello, Mongerbino and the rest of the scenic Capo Zafferano peninsula are all just a short drive or cycle away.For a full description of the properties please visit our website Want to know more?
Appartamento Anya - MongerbinoAlthough just a twenty minute drive from the centre of Palermo, Appartamento Anya couldn't be less of a city property. Close enough to the sea that you can hear it's soundtrack from the huge sunny balcony, it's a family-sized flat that makes the perfect base from which to explore the sea, city and countryside.Great Location Moments from the Water's EdgeThe condominium in which Anya is found is built on a promontory, the little bulb of land directly underneath the park of Monte Catalfano. This means that the water is just 150m away on three sides, while on the fourth is the dramatic cliff face of the little mountain.Right around the corner is the famous 'Arco Azzurro', a rock arch that extends over the sea which will be immediately recognisable to an entire generation of Italians, thanks to its role as backdrop to a famous advert for the Baci Perugina chocolate brand. Elsewhere along the headland, the rocky coast is filled with charming rocky coves and beautiful sandy bays. And with the bright lights of Palermo clearly visible across the Gulf, you know you're never far from the action of Sicily's biggest city.Spacious Three-bedroom InteriorThe roomy apartment is divided into three double bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen-diner and a bathroom, plus a storeroom and a couple of little hallways. In total there is more than a hundred square metres of living space.The nicest spot of all is perhaps outside the apartment, as the 25 metre-long balcony wraps around the western sides of the building. Perfect for enjoying the region's famous sunsets. And with more than enough space for a table and chairs out there you can even take the opportunity to eat al fresco in the comfort of your own home.Potential for Leasing as a Holiday HomeThe great seaside location and six-person sleeping capacity mean that any time you're not able to make the most of your new place in the sun, it won't be hard to find someone who will. Thanks to the close collaboration we have with our sister company, vacation leasing agency Solemar Sicilia, we can even manage the property for you in your absence.

La Casina - TorremuzzaAlmost directly on the sea, the charming old home that is Casina Torremuzza is an historic gem. Roughly a third of a noble old villa built by a landowning family a couple of hundred years ago, it offers a spacious 240m2 of indoor space, with some superb views of the beach and Tyrrhenian Sea.This is divided between a long, thin portion of the ground floor, a wider slice of the first floor, a converted loft and a fully-independent annexe in the garden which is a cosy studio apartment in its own right. With shared use of the spacious green gardens, it is a lovely spot in which to escape from the stresses of day-to-day life.Timeless Design and Durable CraftsmanshipThe ground floor comprises a long, thin living room with a smoothly arched ceiling, and a fully tiled Sicilian kitchen. With a blue and white majolica print used not only on the floor but also the built-in units housing the cupboards, worktop and even the oven, it is a friendly and characterful space in which to cook and eat, with ample room for a breakfast table.Upstairs, six rooms of varying sizes are arranged in an interconnecting floor plan. At the moment two of these are bedrooms, but it would be easy to see that number rise to three or even four. The two rooms at the front of the property have balconies with completely unobstructed sea views. There are also two bathrooms with showers. Upstairs again is a loft conversion which could be a further bedroom, and last but not least the outbuilding is the perfect base for guests who want a little more independence, or the heaviest snorer in the family!Natural Beauty from Sea to SkyThe stretch of coast where you will find Casina Torremuzza is between the small beach towns of Castel di Tusa and Santo Stefano di Camastra, about half an hour east of Cefalù on Sicily's north coast. Inland, the hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park begin to rise, making this a fabulous holiday spot for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.Despite its obvious beauty, the region is entirely untouched by mass tourism, and you will find this a perfect base from which to discover a traditional and authentic side to Sicilian life.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

The Sicilian capital has expanded in recent years, but there is still a strip of green belt before you get to Bagheria, which allows the market town to retain a distinctive sense of its own identity.

Casa Luciano - Forza D'AgròNearly 400m above sea level but less than a kilometre from the nearest beach as the crow flies, Casa Luciano commands phenomenal views of Sicily's eastern coast as it runs south to the famous resort of Taormina. Restore a Home in the SunThe three storey property is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen-cum-sun room and a snug living room on the ground floor which is heated by a fireplace. There is character in spades, with one unique feature the fact that the home has literally been built into the rock face against which it stands. In one of the showers, and behind the sink in the kitchen, the back wall is literally just exposed bare rock.Some work will be needed to make the most of the charming home, including replacement windows and bathroom fixtures. However, the raw beauty of this historic property, not to mention the amazing views from those upper terraces, guarantees a handsome return on your effort and investment.A Place in Cinema HistoryJust seven kilometres north of the luxurious holiday landmark, the picture-postcard village of Forza d'Agrò is an attraction in its own right, having featured in the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather trilogy.It's easy to see why the lovely hilltop community was chosen to evoke the Sicily of a hundred years ago... It's everything you imagine from a traditional hamlet on the island, from the narrow cobbled streets to the terracotta-tiled rooftops. The population declined dramatically over the past fifty years, but the international market has seen it start to recover in recent years, with overseas investment helping to restore a gentle bustle of activity to the alleyways and tiny piazzas of the town.Great Potential as an Income GeneratorNeedless to say, the village's proximity to the sights of Taormina and its connection to the world of cinema mean that there is plenty of potential to recoup much of your outlay in periods where you can't use the home in person. In peak season a well presented two-bedroom property in Forza d'Agrò can command up to a thousand Euros a week.Take a look through our full listing and our information-packed website to find out how we can help you manage your new purchase even after the contract has been exchanged.

Casa Gullotti - San Marco D'AlunzioA pair of properties contained within the same detached villa, Casa Gullotti comprises a fully renovated and joyfully traditional three-bedroom home on the upper floor, and a restoration project space on the ground floor.Set into the hillside, just three kilometres inland from Sicily's north coast in the lower hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park, it enjoys fabulous sea views from the windows, gardens and all three balconies.A Classic Home Beautifully RestoredThe upper floor is a real classic of Sicilian style. The patterned floor tiles are locally produced and a great example of the design school that finished many of the great houses of the region. You will also note the quality of the marble finishings in the two bathrooms, and the characteristic fixed oven in the kitchen, built into a solid counter that has been finished in a bright checkerboard tile.The three double bedrooms are all large, and two have their own balconies. One overlooks the sea to the north, while the other gets day-round sunshine on the souther side of the property. In the middle, facing east towards the region's spectacular sunsets, is a living room with a balcony of its own. 120m2 to RenovateThe ground floor is identical in size, with a front door to the south and direct access onto the gardens. It is in need of a total renovation, including new plastering, wiring and plumbing, bathrooms, kitchen and all decoration. However, the structure of the building is sound. It is fully independent of the upper apartment, meaning that it would be perfectly possible to sell one on and cover the costs of the other, or to let one as a holiday home.The space outdoors is not well maintained but with some investment of time and/or money could prove a really sunny and scenic spot in which to spend long afternoons or eat outside in the warm summer evenings.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

Villa Maria Giovanna - AltavillaOnly 500m from the nearest beach, with sea views from the upper terraces, Villa Maria Giovanna is a very attractive proposition for a family who want a base for the summer, or perhaps a year-round home for an older couple who would like to be able to host their younger relations for regular visits.Convenience and great presentationThe two-storey property is a colourful semi-detached home in the district of Altavilla Milicia, about three kilometres east along the welcoming seafront from the main town and its train station. It doesn't lack privacy, with a wall and hedge screening it completely from its direct neighbour, and the district is a pleasant little area with a mix of holidaymakers and permanent residents.Built as recently as 2010, it is in great condition and doesn't need to have any money spent on it. The terracotta floor tiles, wooden windows and shutters and the lovely hardwood awning that shades the veranda outside the front door are all built well using high quality materials.Plenty of space indoors and outThe ground floor comprises a spacious living room, a separate kitchen, two guest bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs you will find a lovely master bedroom with some great views and a private terrace, a second terrace with a great view of the sea and surrounding hills alike, and another bathroom.The gardens that surround the building on three sides are paved to keep maintenance to a minimum, which could be a great advantage for a buyer who doesn't plan to live there all year.
