House for sale - Trapani (Italy)

Casa Giulia - Trapani With a private terrace, a garden plot and an asking price well below the Sicilian average, Casa Giulia is an affordable renovation opportunity on the outskirts of Trapani. A blank canvas at ground level The property is a ground-floor apartment with an open-plan living area, kitchen and bathroom, plus a large storage room with direct vehicle access from the street. The interior layout is ready to be reimagined by a new owner. Above the property is a rooftop terrace that belongs to the apartment alone, and adjoining it is a private plot of land. These outdoor spaces can be connected to create a garden – a combination you would not expect to find in a city-fringe property at this price. Gateway to the egadi islands and western sicily's finest beaches Casa Giulia sits less than a kilometre from the motorway exit for Trapani. The city’s beaches are three kilometres away, and the port – where ferries leave for Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo – is a short drive. The famous salt flats stretch along the coast to the south, and the medieval citadel of Erice is reached by cable car or a winding drive up the mountain. San Vito Lo Capo, the Zingaro nature reserve and Palermo are all within easy reach. In the immediate neighbourhood you will find a supermarket, pharmacies and local shops. The property is in the municipality of Erice, but at sea level – the lower district that blends seamlessly into Trapani, not the medieval hill town above. A renovation with rental potential The property needs a full renovation: electrical work, bathroom fixtures and new windows. It is currently unconnected to electricity and water, though the mains run along the street outside and connection is straightforward. All planning documentation is in order, including a certificate of habitability. A well-finished property in this location would have clear appeal on the short-term rental market, with the Egadi Islands and Trapani’s beaches drawing visitors throughout the year. At its asking price, Casa Giulia is an accessible way into one of the most undervalued corners of the Sicilian property market.

Casa Isolotto - Misiliscemi Barely 300 metres from the shore on Sicily’s western coast, Casa Isolotto is a historic building awaiting restoration in the municipality of Misiliscemi, between Trapani and Marsala. Egadi views and a private path to the beach The two-storey building covers around 195 square metres and includes a main residential wing and a characterful former stable of 50 square metres. On the first floor, a panoramic terrace looks directly across the Mediterranean to the Egadi Islands. Curved terracotta roof tiles and interlocking clay drainpipes speak of a building with real historical character. The property comes with over a hectare of land – 11,000 square metres of Mediterranean scrubland stretching from the house towards the water. A private path crosses this land and leads to a near-private beach, far from the usual tourist circuits. KITE-surfing, flamingos and wine country The Stagnone lagoon, one of Europe’s premier kite-surfing destinations, is just minutes away to the south. Here you can also visit the ruins of one of Europe's oldest settlements, the Phoenician island town of Mozia. The Trapani salt pans, where flamingos gather at sunset, are a short trip up the coast, and the celebrated wineries of Marsala are close at hand. Ryanair base Trapani Birgi airport is just 15 minutes away, and Palermo provides a second option that's under an hour along the motorway. The port of Trapani offers fast hydrofoil connections to Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo. A renovation with a head start The ruined property will require a complete renovation, with our best estimate of work costs between €1,500 and €1,800 per square metre. However, it may come as a pleasant surprise to learn that in Italy, its status as a listed building actually simplifies the planning process, allowing work to begin without the usual bureaucratic delays. The finished product, whether a private residence or a holiday rental in one of Sicily’s fastest-growing tourist markets, would represent outstanding value for money. With over a hectare of land, a path to the beach and views of the Egadi Islands, properties like this rarely stay available for long.
