Questa splendida proprietà, composta da una casa principale, una dependance e un parco di 5 ettari, si chiama "Tenuta Paganona" e si trova in campagna, a soli 1,5 km dalla città di Acqui Terme. La tenuta, circondata da un parco di 5 ettari completamente recintato, ha una lunga storia e viene utilizzata fin dai primi anni dell'Ottocento; all'inizio del Novecento entra a far parte di un complesso di case appartenenti ai Conti Ottolenghi, che a loro volta possedevano il grande e storico complesso di Villa Ottolenghi. Dopo il 1923, gli stessi professionisti e soprattutto lo stesso architetto, il famoso Marcello Piacentini (urbanista e progettista di edifici e piazze in Italia e nella stessa capitale), che avevano lavorato al restauro di Villa Ottolenghi, iniziarono la ristrutturazione di Cascina Paganona, trasformandola in un'elegante casa di campagna, che si integrava perfettamente nel paesaggio grazie all'utilizzo di pietra locale lavorata e intagliata a mano per i muri, pietra di Luserna per le scale, volte in mattoni nel salone con intarsi in marmo e iniziali in marmo negli archi della loggia, porte in castagno con cerniere in ferro battuto e molti altri dettagli. Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale e fino a quasi gli anni '90, la proprietà è rimasta vuota, ma alla fine del 1990 è stata completamente ristrutturata dall'attuale proprietario e trasformata in una prestigiosa residenza dotata di tecnologie all'avanguardia e di ogni comfort. La villa principale si sviluppa su due piani oltre al piano terra con splendide verande. Dall'ampio ingresso, una loggia chiusa con vetrate conduce al soggiorno con soffitti a volta e un bellissimo camino, una grande cucina con accesso alla terrazza panoramica, un bagno e una lavanderia. Al piano superiore si trovano uno studio, una camera da letto principale con soffitto affrescato, 3 camere da letto e due bagni molto grandi. I tre piani della villa sono collegati non solo da una scala interna ma anche da un moderno ascensore. La dependance si trova nel fienile. Al piano terra si trova un ampio garage e al piano superiore un appartamento composto da un soggiorno con angolo cottura, una camera da letto e un bagno. Il parco di 5 ettari è completamente recintato e piantumato con una bella pineta e altre piante ornamentali. Nel parco si trovano una bella cantina scolpita nel tufo, un forno a legna, due fontane e un romantico camminamento sotto i 15 archi di cemento orientati da nord a sud, alla fine del quale si trova un grande tavolo rotondo circondato da una panchina anch'essa scolpita a mano. Sul sito è stato costruito anche un grande garage. Want to know more?

Villa Tiziana - CasteldacciaAn 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 edgeOne 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 comfortThe 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 neededThe 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?

Casa dei Nonni - Galati MamertinoWith stunning views and an enticing price tag, Casa dei Nonni is a slice of the most traditional Sicily in a beautiful natural park.Three bedrooms and a covered roof terraceThe property is built on four floors, with the lowest a semi-basement accessible from an adjacent street. The main body of the home is on the ground, first and second floors, with one bedroom on each. Two of these are cosy doubles with direct sea views through north-facing windows. The master, on the first floor, is twice the size and in addition to the same window as the others has a balcony overlooking the street outside.The ground-floor kitchen is brightly lit from a large street-facing window, and kitted out with a blue suite of oven, gas hobs, cupboards, double sink and fridge-freezer that is only ten years old.

On the top floor, the terrace measures 18m2 and gives you a great panorama over much of the village and the hills that rise around it on three sides. It is afforded shade by a fixed canopy and would make a lovely family space for relaxing afternoons or outdoor meals.Sicily's largest unspoilt wildernessThe Natural Park of the Nebrodi Mountains is the largest expanse of protected land in the whole of Sicily, and stretches from the beaches and marinas of the Tyrrhenian coast to the foothills of Mount Etna in the south. Along the way it unfolds as a thrilling landscape of mountains and lakes, forests and rivers which provide a home to innumerable species of flora and fauna.Galati Mamertino, where Casa dei Nonni stands, is a little community of around two thousand residents at an altitude of 800m above sea level. It's one of the last stops you come to before the centre of the natural park, which is completely free from towns and villages, spreads out over a vast area of 80,000km2.A welcoming community with close family tiesSince it was built in the 1970s, Casa dei Nonni has remained in the same family, and you will find that this is typical of much of the real estate in these traditional inner-Sicilian villages. Galati Mamertino is a warm and friendly place with a chance to really get under the skin of authentic Sicilian life.It does have all the modern conveniences you need, however, with supermarkets and smaller shops, a pharmacy and post office, and a smattering of bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the property. You will also appreciate the fibre optic internet cabling and the efficient public services.For a full description of the property please visit our website Want to know more?

The Arches of San Girolamo | In the Ponte di Romana area, with access from Via Pantaneto, there is a prestigious apartment located on the top floor of a historic building of notable architectural charm. A residence that combines the timeless beauty of noble Sienese homes with the functionality of spacious and versatile areas. The particularly generous entrance leads to a hallway area from which you access the three double bedrooms, all characterized by exceptionally large sizes: true independent environments that, due to their brightness and proportions, can be interpreted not only as bedrooms but also as studies or representative spaces. The monumental living room represents the heart of the house: an imposing and bright environment that overlooks the Basilica dei Servi and the countryside to the southwest, offering spectacular and ever-changing views throughout the day and seasons. Next to the living room, the kitchen lends itself to being integrated into a single large open space, capable of transforming into a convivial room of great impact, perfect for both family life and prestigious hospitality. The house also has two bathrooms, one of which is windowed, and no less than three storage rooms, valuable and functional spaces in a historic centre apartment, ideal for ensuring order and practicality in daily life. The interiors preserve original frescoes and handmade terracotta floors, details of rare beauty that tell the story and nobility of the residence. The extremely generous size opens up numerous possibilities for customization: although requiring a restyling intervention, the apartment is already an absolute rarity, combining spaciousness, light, and authenticity. Although located on the top floor without an elevator, the condominium space has the necessary room to consider installing a system, subject to the consent of the condominium owners. We are also including photorealistic renderings alongside the actual photos, showcasing how the house could be completely transformed in its appearance while absolutely maintaining its original layout. This allows you to clearly envision the property’s full potential with a modern, elegant, and refined design, without any structural changes. Want to know more?
