Villa Emanuela - TrabiaSpacious and beautifully presented, villa emanuela is a detached three-bedroom family home outside Trabia in the province of Palermo. Just 800m from the nearest beach as the crow flies, you can enjoy a sea view from the sunny terraces, the best of which has been created using the entire flat roof of the single storey property.Three bedrooms and some great family spacesThe floor plan is typically Sicilian, with one end of the house used in the daytime, and the other at night. The former includes a roomy entrance hall and a very large kitchen-diner, where you can soak up the sunshine that comes from the large south-facing window. The three bedrooms can all sleep two people, although one of them is currently being used as a study.The sun room was once an uncovered portico which was glazed on three sides. This has created a fabulous space to use all year round, with the windows open in summer and closed to keep the heat in during the short Sicilian winters.Walking distance from the beachAlthough the area is very rural, and you certainly won't feel nearly as on top of your neighbours as you can in the residences and more intensive developments nearer to the beach, the road to the seaside is just 1.4km. If that feels too far on a hot day, you can cover the ground in minutes on a bike or by car.The property is also conveniently located for Sicily's most important motorway, which connects Palermo in the east with Messina in the west. The location is really ideal for a buyer who wants to explore everything Sicily has to offer, with nowhere on the island more than a three hour drive away.In great condition for year-round useThe property is extremely energy efficient, with solar panels to generate electricity and heat water on the roof, and recently installed windows to insulate the interior. The south-facing windows and sun room are great for catching the warmth of the sun even on a winter's day, and as a final comfort, all of the rooms have gas-powered radiators.In the summer, you'll love the air conditioners distributed throughout, and the shade offered by the trees in the garden and canopies in front of the sun room and on the roof. Plus, of course, you can cool off with a dip in the perfect clear water at any time you fancy!For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

The pebble beach is a great spot for those who want to enjoy a quiet swim away from the crowds who flock to some of the coast's better known bathing spots.Rich soil and perfect growing conditionsThe land is very fertile, and despite having been untended for about forty years, it is home to a wide variety of fruit-bearing trees, including a number of olives. It will be necessary to do some pruning and clearing to best take advantage of the view and the grounds, but the final product will undoubtedly reward your efforts. Want to know more?

Villa Maria Teresa - NasoBeautiful country house with sea view and small garden near Capo D'Orlando in the Comune Naso.SurroundingsOur property is located on the north coast of Sicily in the province of Messina. The village is around 2 hours from Palermo and 1 from Messina. This area is already part of the Nebroden Natural Park; from here it is also only 1 hour's drive to Mount Etna and from the house itself you can reach the village of Capo D'Orlando and its sandy beaches in around 10 minutes by car. Access is always via the provincial road, from which a small lane leads down to the house for approx. 80m. The street is quite narrow and there are only a few neighbors. At the end of the road, about 20 meters from the house, there is a turning area if you don't want to drive into the driveway. This is equipped with an automatic gate, which is much more convenient than usual; there are 2 parking spaces in front of the house. The propertyThe first contact with the garden and house is surprising: it makes a very well-kept, but above all loving impression, as it is also in perfect condition. The garden is also dominated by lush trees, shrubs and flowers. This property consists of four structures and a total of around 100 sqm. The main house has 2 bedrooms, a large living room with a wood-burning stove and a kitchen with ceramic tiles from Santo Stefano and a bathroom. Next to the house there is an independent room where the gas boiler and the instantaneous water heater are located as well as space for a very large, long table and the great pizza oven, which will also remain in the house. Next to it is the technical room with 2 cisterns and the technical equipment for the water with pump. The water itself is supplied by the Comune. In the middle of the garden among the olive trees is the dependance, a single room with windows on three sides and majolica-style stone floors. Everything is in perfect condition, the only thing missing is the approval of the Comune. You can enjoy the magnificent sea view from several areas of the property. We are here approx. 380 above sea level. There are olive trees and ornamental plants in the garden. The plot of around 330 square meters is surrounded by a pretty wooden fence.OpportunitiesIn my opinion, the property makes an immaculate impression, the annex next to the house has not yet been approved but can be included in the preliminary contract with the appropriate conditions. As the house is built from natural materials such as stone and wood, it makes a really pleasant impression. The property has air conditioning and a cast iron wood stove. There is no work to be done, it needs to be furnished on its own. A small pool would make this property perfect; also very suitable for renting out. The seller's asking price of € 148,000 is still negotiable. Want to know more?

Plot Alessandro - LascariFour kilometres inland from Sicily's beautiful north coast, Plot Alessandro is a 4.5 hectare plot of agricultural hillside land around 300m above sea level. With panoramic views to the north and west, over the sparkling turquoise Gulf of Termini Imerese and the green surrounding landscape of the western Madonie Park, this is a haven of natural beauty.The peace and quiet on offer in this remote spot is remarkable, considering the nearest sandy beach is just a ten minute drive away and the ever popular beach town of Cefalù is just ten minutes further afield. Build Your Own Home at Tremendous ValueThe ruin of an old house stands on a terrace in the middle of the land. While this will need to be demolished, the size of the plot gives you permission to build a huge villa of up to 450m2, or a more modestly-sized one on two or three floors.It is possible to develop very cheaply in this region, and the potential is there to own a vast and luxurious property for a tiny fraction of what you would need to pay in the centre or north of Italy. Even the location being on the far side of a hill from Cefalù means that you are getting excellent value for money, given how short the drive is down to the ancient fishing town's cobbled Norman centre and pristine sandy beachfront.Rich Natural BeautyThe estate lies on very fertile soil, and this is reflected in the presence of a grove of fifty young olive trees, all of which bear fruit on an annual basis. You should be able to produce about three hundred litres of top grade oil from the harvest, and can either press it yourself on site or visit one of the presses in the area to enjoy the literal and metaphorical fruits of your labour.Also dotted across the slopes of Plot Alessandro are all kinds of fruit tree, including fig, lemon, orange, persimmon, pomegranate and apricot. The few hundred metres of elevation means that the hillside catches a lovely fresh sea breeze, which makes it a beautiful spot in the humid Sicilian summer.

Villa Valentina - CasteldacciaBeautifully refurbished just two years ago, Villa Valentina is in absolutely perfect condition, inside and out. From the beautifully finished, custom-made kitchen to the walk-in closets, the warm sun lounges to the sea-view terraces outdoors, there is a wealth of great design and natural beauty to be found in every corner of this lovely propertyConvenient for the City but Complete Peace and QuietThe 1980s-built, villa is found in the district of Casteldaccia, just 15km east of Palermo. All the advantages of proximity to Sicily's primary city (and best-connected airport) are readily available, with great dining, world class music, all manner of shops and a glistening new marina on your doorstep.However, the road on which the detached home has been built is extremely quiet and peaceful, well outside the centre of Casteldaccia and with uninterrupted views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and some impressively green surrounding countryside.180m2 of Indoor SpaceThe villa is built on two storeys, with a trio of well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the guest rooms has direct access to the long, sunny balcony, while the master connects to a gloriously sunny home office space.Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen-cum-living room is a real highlight of the home. Around 50m2 n total, the well-lit space is divided in two by a kitchen island and connects to a cosy living room and an eye-catching staircase.Al Fresco Dining with a Sea ViewOutside, the long garden is divided into six levels as the plot makes its way downhill towards the sea. The prime spot is on the top terrace, to the rear of the house, where a fantastic outdoor kitchen is just begging to be used throughout the long hot Sicilian summers.For a full description of the property please visit our website 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?
