At the front is a versatile space which the current owner (a carpenter by trade) has been using as a workshop. This is certainly ready to be used as a second bedroom if you need the extra sleeping capacity, however. The third bedroom is on the first floor, as is a spectacular living room.Up on the second floor you will find a kitchen-diner that gets some direct sunlight in the afternoon.

Palazzo Petta - Gratteri650m above sea level, and just a twenty minute drive from the nearest beach, Palazzo Petta is found near the edge of the hilltop village of Gratteri in the Madonie Natural Park.With the green hills of the surrounding countryside a paradise for lovers of nature and Sicilian culture, and everything from the snow-capped peaks of the mountain range to the pristine beach town of Cefalù on your doorstep, this is a truly inspiring setting for a retirement home, a remote working base or a holiday property.A once-IN-A-lifetime adventureThe palazzo is in need of a complete renovation, with the current condition of the building not even safe to enter at the present. However, the asking price is enticingly low, and we estimate that a budget of around €100,000 will be enough to create a completely modern interior that offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of living space.There is some fabulous raw material to work with, too. The old stone walls are steeped in historical character, and the setting in a village which has been an important part of the Madonie's cultural landscape since the middle ages will provide ample inspiration.Specialists in restoration work, speaking your languageThe adventure of restoring an old palazzo is an incredibly rewarding one, and the finished property will be completely your own, with the option to customise every detail to fit your needs and personal style.If you are nervous about the logistics of a project on this scale, help is at hand. Has a specialist project management unit for construction and renovation work; and we would be delighted to share every step of this journey with you.Whether you need our extensive network of professional and trade contacts, help with the bureaucratic demands of securing planning permission or someone to visit the site on a regular basis if you're not going to be in the area during the work, we can offer a guarantee of peace of mind, realistic projections for timescale and budget, and the assurance that everything will be completed to the very highest international standard. Meer weten?

Casa Marino - GangiIn italy's original “most beautiful village”: two bedroom renovated property for sale in the madonie natural parkWhere is Italy's most beautiful village? Opinions will vary as widely as traditional pasta recipes, but the community of Gangi in the Madonie hills of Sicily has a better claim than most. In 2014, a heritage association called I borghi piu belli d'Italia (“Italy's most beautiful villages”) held what became an annual competition to find the nation's most picturesque community – and Gangi ran out the inaugural winner.Casa Marino is a beautiful restoration project in the historic old town of this magical hillside settlement. With a centuries-old construction giving it the sturdiest possible skeleton and no expense spared on the painstaking revamp, it is a fabulous opportunity to own a heritage property for a reasonable priceA unique shape and designThe house is on the end of a pair of terraces, tapering towards a wedged end that makes it look more of a tower than a family home when approached from one side. However, the four long storeys in fact combine to offer a surprisingly large 137m2 of habitable space.The narrow end of the building is a stairwell, and the wider part follows the same floor plan for the first three floors: a corridor leading past a bathroom with a large shower to a living or bedroom at the property's broadest section.Local craftsmanshipThe materials used in the recent renovation are top quality, with locally produced floor tiles, sparkling bathroom fittings and crisp plaster accentuating the sections of the original, nearly metre-thick, stone walls which have been left on display in large sections of the property.The roof has also been repaired and is now in excellent condition. Only the stairwell is in need of work at this stage, and there are certainly no issues which would stop you moving in as soon as you complete the purchase.A really unique property, you won't regret taking a longer look at Casa Marino. Meer weten?

In addition, the large terrace has been renovated with beautiful wall panels and the large garden areas have been ‘weeded’ and covered with protective film and mulch.

Plot Duca - PollinaLess than three kilometres as the crow flies from the nearest beaches, but 400 metres above sea level, Plot Duca is a four acre estate in the eastern hills of the Madonie Park, just outside the picturesque fortified village of Pollina.With the tourist hotspot of Cefalù only a twenty five minute drive along the coast, the natural beauty of the Madonie opening up to the south and west, and views out to sea that stretch as far as the Aeolian islands on a clear day, this is a piece of land which showcases the best that Sicily has to offer.Suitable for building a large family villaThe land currently contains the ruins of a small cottage, and this will need to be demolished to allow construction of a new house to take place. You will be able to build up to 160m2 of indoor space, which is comfortable enough for a two-storey, three- or four-bedroom house.The sea-view terraces of the estate would provide the perfect backdrop to a private swimming pool, as well as some gardens to enjoy with all the family and any guests you want to invite to share this peaceful and scenic, natural experience.Between a historic castle and sunny beachesThe plot runs broadly west-east, along the northern side of the hill which continues to rise for another three hundred metres before reaching the castle-topped settlement that is Pollina. In the cobbled streets of this atmospheric and traditional but surprisingly welcoming town, which can be reached in just five minutes by car, you will find a few small shops and bars, and a fantastic open-air amphitheatre which hosts a diverse range of performances right throughout the long Sicilian summer.At sea level, the bigger shops, restaurants and seafront of the sunny Finale di Pollina are just an eight minute drive away. 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. Meer weten?

Case Vasi - CalderaroTwo halves of the same villa, Casa Vasi and Casa Calderaro are twin semi-detached homes with glorious panoramic views of the Nebrodi Park. Just outside the small town of San Salvatore di Fitalia, 10km inland and 550m above sea level, they are a chance to escape from the stresses and intensity of the world in total harmony with the surrounding countryside.The houses can be bought separately or together. Each has its own sizeable plot of land, and shared use of an access road. Casa Vasi is ready to be lived in straight away, while Casa Calderaro is a restoration project.A home to use straight away...With 70m2 of living space on the upper floor and a 25m2 basement, Casa Vasi is compact but efficient in its use of space. A long, thin home with four rooms, it opens directly into a large living room with an open fireplace and garden-view window. The bedroom is probably the nicest space, with plenty of light, especially in the morning. It offers a balcony with a fabulous view, looking down along the valley to the sea. There is also a neat kitchen with a larder and a bathroom with a shower.Casa Vasi is in good condition, with a recent renovation having completely overhauled the property. The wiring and plumbing are in good condition, as is the roof. You'll find neat, well-maintained plaster on the walls, aluminium windows with wooden shutters and a roof that's in a fine state of repair. It is sold fully furnished, with all contents as seen....and one to renovateCasa Calderaro is a similar size and shape to Casa Vasi, and also has that wonderful valley-view balcony. There the similarities end, however, as this house has been completely stripped of all plaster, partitions and utilities. With the exception of a few floor tiles which you might choose to reuse it's a blank canvas.The windows on the long side of the space have a lovely hillside view, better in fact than the other apartment has to offer. The roof seems to be well maintained too. And there is the same basement underneath the main living area. However, a significant investment of time and capital will be needed to turn this back into a modern living space.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

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. Alternatively it wouldn't take long to return it to the kind of lawn seen outside the house next door. In either case you will be sure to enjoy the verdant Mediterranean greenery that has been planted, including a lovely old olive tree.Good value and a friendly sellerThe house is sold complete with the kitchen, both bathrooms, an air conditioning unit, radiators and boilers. The vendor is motivated to make a deal and will consider reasonable offers on what is already an attractive asking price.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

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 Meer weten?

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. Meer weten?

Palazzo Peri - CollesanoA vast complex covering 800m2, right in the heart of a historic Sicilian town, Palazzo Peri stands at the very heart of Collesano in the Madonie Natural Park. An eighteenth century building with wonderful history, it would be a wonderfully inspiring project to take on.With over twenty rooms, on three storeys, and an entire deconsecrated church included in the sale, we're not overselling this when we describe it as one of the most remarkable real estate opportunities to have passed across our desk since we first entered the industryA stately home with a baroque facadeThe living space is huge, with sixteen rooms plus kitchens and bathrooms. Almost all of these are large enough to become a spacious double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Two at the front of the property have ornately decorated balconies, and those on the top floor have fabulous views over the rooftops of Collesano to the green hills of the surrounding natural park.The marble staircases and tiled floors are still in very good condition for a building of this age. The plastering will obviously need to be completely redone, and the connections for plumbing and electricity installed as if from scratch. But there are beautiful elements to salvage, like the sturdy antique doors and the built-in pizza oven on the second floor kitchen.The old chapel, courtyard and storeroomsThe church is a large space, the size of a typical chapel, with a three-storey high roof and a simple layout. Off this, to the side, is a Sacristy which occupies two floors. To the rear is an L-shaped courtyard which is currently covered in grass, and runs up a slope. It receives sunshine in the middle of the day and could become an attractive little garden.Lastly, on the far side of this courtyard, you will find a complex of seven separate storerooms which are each big enough to hold machinery or large quantities of produce.An opportunity you really don't see every day The chance to restore a building with this kind of history – and this much sheer space – is a really rare and precious one. It could become a one-of-a-kind luxury villa for an investor who wants to entertain large numbers of guests in truly lavish style. Alternatively, perhaps its future lies as separate apartments – it should be possible to realise at least six or seven, all of good size.As a final possibility, it would be very easy to picture Palazzo Peri as a boutique luxury hotel, with a spa and sun terrace, offering huge characterful rooms in a magical medieval context. The bells of the old Chiesa Madre of Collesano echo from the fortified tower just across the street, and the cobbled streets of this enchanting old town are as atmospheric as the surrounding mountain- and sea-views are breathtaking. Meer weten?
