95011 Palermo

Villa Due Mari - Mondello An absolute jewel of a family home, the stately Villa Due Mari is just 300m from the beach of trendy Mondello. An incredibly rare opportunity to buy into the great Sicilian summer experience, it dazzles with immaculate renovation work and perfect presentation. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms the villa is spread across three floors, with a living room-diner and kitchen on the ground floor, four bedrooms on the first and a self-contained flat on the second. In total there is a huge 240m2 of indoor space, including a wide marble staircase that wraps around an fully functioning elevator. Two kitchens, one in the flat under the eaves, give you the flexibility to entertain in different configurations or perhaps to retain a live-in housekeeper or property guardian. Everything is in pristine condition, and the home is sold fully furnished, inclusive of all contents shown in our virtual tour and photography. A green lawn and an irresistible swimming pool the 400m gardens are fully enclosed and offer numerous possibilities for family time or entertaining. On the street-side of the west-facing property you will find a small front garden and off-street parking for one car. A flight of steps leads up to a long, open front porch. To the rear is a beautiful deep portico offering 55m2 of covered outdoor space. If we were buying the villa we'd consider enclosing it with glass to hold a winter garden and give us extra living space all year round, but it's stylishly designed and refreshingly cool just as it is. Beyond this, the well-kept lawn leads to the 7x3m swimming pool, an invaluable addition to a home in such a popular location. Beauty and Style, at Home and Around the Corner Mondello is officially a district of Palermo, but has its own distinct identity and is separated from the main city by the towering rocky outcrop of Monte Pellegrino. It is an exquisite natural bay, with a deep white sandy beach and picture-postcard turquoise sea. The gentle entry to the water and shelter offered by the bay makes it an unbeatable spot to bring young children or less confident swimmers. It has been the go-to summer escape for citizens of Palermo since the town's elite started to build villas here at the turn of the twentieth century. The immediately recognisable Liberty architecture, an offshoot of the Art Nouveau movement, was once the prevalent style throughout Palermo, but widespread rebuilding work in the 1960s saw much of it sadly lost. Villa Due Mari is a beautiful example of the style - a time capsule and a piece of the region's cultural heritage. Even better, it stands on the famous via Margherita di Savoia, a central avenue which is noted for its collection of well-preserved Liberty homes.

Casa Carmelo - Agrigento A three-bedroom villa with sea-view balcony, Casa Carmelo is a beautiful holiday home in Sicily's southern region of Agrigento. 500m from the sea the waves of the Mediterranean wash up against Sicily's south coast just beyond the end of the quiet cul-de-sac on which Casa Carmelo is found. With a fabulous sandy beach only a kilometre from your front door you'll never grow tired of coastal walks or long sunny days in the sand and surf. The coastline faces south-west, making it the perfect spot from which to enjoy the island's famous sunsets. This district of the region of Agrigento is a quiet, residential one. While the nearest shops and amenities need a car to reach easily, they are only a short drive away and the no-through road means that you'll experience almost no noise from traffic or neighbours. The gardens and fields nearby are green and verdant, with plenty of citrus and olive trees amongst many other forms of agriculture in evidence. Needless to say, this guarantees a bounty of locally produced fruit and vegetables. Two fully independent apartments casa Carmelo offers 138m2 of internal space, divided between two floors. Each of these, however, can function as a private apartment. There is a bathroom on each, a kitchenette built into one corner of the upstairs living room and a separate one on the ground floor. An external staircase lets you enter the upper property without disturbing anyone downstairs, and a lockable door at the top of the imposing indoor staircase affords privacy to both halves of the property. The rest of the ground floor is a large living room measuring about 50m2, which the current owners have made use of as a studio space, with a double bed under the stairs. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, so even if you don't plan to do this you can sleep six in comfort, even without adding sofa beds in either of the living rooms. The ground floor enjoys a shaded veranda directly outside the front entrance, while anyone staying upstairs will love the ample balcony with its partial sea view away to the south. The garden of Casa Carmelo is spacious and well-maintained, and the whole property is in excellent condition. The windows are new, with mosquito blinds and external blackout shutters, and there are air conditioning units in all of the rooms. A region filled with treasures anyone familiar with Sicily will know that Agrigento is primarily famous for the 'Valley of the Temples', a huge archaeological complex that is home to the remains of the city of the Greek city of Akragas. The vast temples and other remains found there are one of the most important sites for ancient history to be found anywhere in Europe. The site begins just fifteen minutes' drive from Casa Carmelo. Only a little further up the road is the beautiful white cliff known as the 'Scala dei Turchi', or the Turkish Steps. With its pristine strata glistening against the deep blue sea by day, or reflecting the colours of the sunset as dusk falls, this is an unmissable sight that will never fail to enthral visitors.

Villa Infinito - Capo d'Orlando A contemporary designer villa with sweeping sea views and a private pool, Villa Infinito commands a privileged hillside position in the sought-after Scafa district of Capo d'Orlando, on Sicily's Tyrrhenian coast. Sensational views and a design to showcase them with around 220m² of living space on two floors, the villa is defined by its huge windows, which dominate the sea-facing northeastern wall of the property. The master bedroom has been meticulously laid out to allow the sea, and the Aeolian Islands on the horizon, to be the very first view that greets you as you wake. The open-plan ground floor boasts almost an entirely glazed wall facing the water, and the high-end steel kitchen, feature fireplace and scenic dining area are all set up in a way that you'll almost never have to take your eyes off the twinkling turquoise expanse unfolding a couple of hundred metres below you. Upstairs, three bedrooms all enjoy those sea views out towards the archipelago, and open onto a luxurious raised terrace that shows the panorama off to perfection. Infinity pool and mediterranean grounds nor is the estate lacking in natural beauty down at ground level. The 4,500m² grounds are planted with over forty olive trees and ornamental palms. Taking pride of place alongside an inviting terrace, the infinity pool is an obvious centrepiece for the whole property, its edge appearing to merge with the sea beyond as you cool off in its clear, filtered waters. A covered carport, tool shed and well-kept driveway lined with tall trees complete the outdoor amenities. Ready to live in, ready to earn the property is in excellent condition with full planning compliance. It even has the necessary documentation to be used as a vacation rental if you're not planning to make it a year-round home and want to recoup some of the running costs when you're not here in person. Less than four kilometres from the centre of Capo d'Orlando and its modern marina, and roughly equidistant from Sicily's two main international airports, Villa Infinito is a great combination of luxury, privacy and practicality.
