Presented in perfect condition, its turnkey sale and location just six minutes' walk from the train station make it a very attractive proposition at this price.Modern, Bright and Perfectly PresentedThe one-bedroom apartment has recently been refurbished and is presented exactly as seen, with all fittings and even furniture. You won't need to invest a cent beyond the purchase price. The kitchen is modern and user-friendly, with a large efficient oven and a jumbo-sized fridge freezer. In the bathroom a box shower is fitted, along with two sinks, a WC and bidet. There is even a washing machine already installed.The living area is an open-play space combining kitchen, dining area and lounge.

Appartamenti Martina amp; Silvia - BagheriaAppartamento Martina and Appartamento Silva are twin apartments on the top floor of a modern condominium on the outskirts of Bagheria. Each is offered for sale separately.The vendor is also offering a loft space with extra bathroom above the pair, with an asking price of €30,000. They will consider offers for buying two or all three of the units together.100m2, Three Bedrooms and Two BathroomsBoth apartments have the same floor plan, with a large living room-diner the main space, opening onto a huge 15m2 balcony. To one side is the spacious kitchen, and to the other is a little corridor leading to the three double bedrooms and two bathrooms.Two of the bedrooms offer balcony access. One, like the kitchen, has French windows onto the main balcony, shared with the living room. The master bedroom has a smaller, private balcony facing north, with (in the case of both apartments) a sea view, looking north towards Monte Catalfano and the coast of Mongerbino. A Personal ChoiceThe main difference between the pair is that while Martina's long balcony looks west, Silva's faces east. Martina has a view of the green stretch of land between Bagheria and Aspra, and also takes in the Gulf of Palermo and the mountains which ring the city on the horizon. Silvia's, on the other hand, is a city view which enjoys some direct sunshine in the mornings.Neither apartment is fitted or furnished, save for the bathrooms. Martina has gas-powered radiators, whose recently installed boiler is currently fed from cylinders. It would be preferable to request a connection to the gas main in the future. Silvia on the other hand has a pair of air conditioning units, which circulate both hot and cold air.Connected to the City and the SeaAlthough Bagheria has a storied past, growing up primarily around a cluster of stunning eighteenth and nineteenth century villas that served as summer escapes for the gentry of Palermo, these days it is in large part a commuter town, and as such the transport connections are well above average for Sicily. Buses, trains and a motorway will all take you into the centre of Palermo in twenty minutes. The station is a walkable 15 minutes from the apartment. So too is the town centre, while the beaches of Aspra, Porticello, Mongerbino and the rest of the scenic Capo Zafferano peninsula are all just a short drive or cycle away.For a full description of the properties please visit our website Meer weten?

Plot Galia - MontallegroDescriptionThe Galia property near Montallegro is very close to the Torre Salsa beach and is located in the nature reserve of the same name.

The owners had already commissioned an architect who had developed and presented a corresponding project. The project was stopped because the owner unfortunately passed away.SurroundingsThere is a water and electricity connection nearby. Access is possible via a dirt road.OpportunitiesA small paradise could be created here. We are thinking of a kind of tiny house; you can build a nice country house with a covered terrace and possibly a pool for little money, even if it is only a short walk to the sandy beach. The WWF nature reserve is known for its water turtles and various bird species. - A place of total relaxation and respect for nature.There are good shopping facilities in nearby Montallegro and many interesting excursion destinations in the surrounding area such as Eraclea Minoa, Sciacca, Agrigento etc. Meer weten?

La Casina - TorremuzzaAlmost directly on the sea, the charming old home that is Casina Torremuzza is an historic gem.

With shared use of the spacious green gardens, it is a lovely spot in which to escape from the stresses of day-to-day life.Timeless Design and Durable CraftsmanshipThe ground floor comprises a long, thin living room with a smoothly arched ceiling, and a fully tiled Sicilian kitchen.

At the moment two of these are bedrooms, but it would be easy to see that number rise to three or even four. The two rooms at the front of the property have balconies with completely unobstructed sea views. There are also two bathrooms with showers. Upstairs again is a loft conversion which could be a further bedroom, and last but not least the outbuilding is the perfect base for guests who want a little more independence, or the heaviest snorer in the family!Natural Beauty from Sea to SkyThe stretch of coast where you will find Casina Torremuzza is between the small beach towns of Castel di Tusa and Santo Stefano di Camastra, about half an hour east of Cefalù on Sicily's north coast.

Casa Luciano - Forza D'AgròNearly 400m above sea level but less than a kilometre from the nearest beach as the crow flies, Casa Luciano commands phenomenal views of Sicily's eastern coast as it runs south to the famous resort of Taormina. Restore a Home in the SunThe three storey property is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen-cum-sun room and a snug living room on the ground floor which is heated by a fireplace.

In one of the showers, and behind the sink in the kitchen, the back wall is literally just exposed bare rock.Some work will be needed to make the most of the charming home, including replacement windows and bathroom fixtures. However, the raw beauty of this historic property, not to mention the amazing views from those upper terraces, guarantees a handsome return on your effort and investment.A Place in Cinema HistoryJust seven kilometres north of the luxurious holiday landmark, the picture-postcard village of Forza d'Agrò is an attraction in its own right, having featured in the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather trilogy.It's easy to see why the lovely hilltop community was chosen to evoke the Sicily of a hundred years ago... It's everything you imagine from a traditional hamlet on the island, from the narrow cobbled streets to the terracotta-tiled rooftops. The population declined dramatically over the past fifty years, but the international market has seen it start to recover in recent years, with overseas investment helping to restore a gentle bustle of activity to the alleyways and tiny piazzas of the town.Great Potential as an Income GeneratorNeedless to say, the village's proximity to the sights of Taormina and its connection to the world of cinema mean that there is plenty of potential to recoup much of your outlay in periods where you can't use the home in person. In peak season a well presented two-bedroom property in Forza d'Agrò can command up to a thousand Euros a week.Take a look through our full listing and our information-packed website to find out how we can help you manage your new purchase even after the contract has been exchanged.

Casa Gullotti - San Marco D'AlunzioA pair of properties contained within the same detached villa, Casa Gullotti comprises a fully renovated and joyfully traditional three-bedroom home on the upper floor, and a restoration project space on the ground floor.Set into the hillside, just three kilometres inland from Sicily's north coast in the lower hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park, it enjoys fabulous sea views from the windows, gardens and all three balconies.A Classic Home Beautifully RestoredThe upper floor is a real classic of Sicilian style. The patterned floor tiles are locally produced and a great example of the design school that finished many of the great houses of the region. You will also note the quality of the marble finishings in the two bathrooms, and the characteristic fixed oven in the kitchen, built into a solid counter that has been finished in a bright checkerboard tile.The three double bedrooms are all large, and two have their own balconies. One overlooks the sea to the north, while the other gets day-round sunshine on the souther side of the property. In the middle, facing east towards the region's spectacular sunsets, is a living room with a balcony of its own. 120m2 to RenovateThe ground floor is identical in size, with a front door to the south and direct access onto the gardens. It is in need of a total renovation, including new plastering, wiring and plumbing, bathrooms, kitchen and all decoration. However, the structure of the building is sound. It is fully independent of the upper apartment, meaning that it would be perfectly possible to sell one on and cover the costs of the other, or to let one as a holiday home.The space outdoors is not well maintained but with some investment of time and/or money could prove a really sunny and scenic spot in which to spend long afternoons or eat outside in the warm summer evenings.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

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?

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.

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?

Torre Maqueda - PalermoA seven floor tower block currently being completely renovated and refurbished, the Torre Maqueda Apartments are going to offer 21 new one- and two-bedroom flats at the centre of Palermo, just a stone's throw from all the city's major attractions.Ongoing Restoration WorkThe restoration work is scheduled to be completed in September 2025, with delivery of the homes in October. At this point you will be taking over a pristine, perfectly finished apartment with all modern conveniences. This includes a heating and cooling system, an efficient boiler and a freshly installed bathroom. Full length windows will be double glazed and floors will be a mix of easy-clean tile and warm parquet.Buyers who complete their purchase in the next months will have the chance to customise many aspects of their new home, including colours, materials and furnishings. It is even possible to buy two adjoining units and combine them to create a single, larger apartment with two bathrooms and extra bedrooms.Perfect Position The Torre Maqueda Apartments are right at the heart of Palermo. Just 200m away is the city's iconic opera house, the Teatro Massimo, and the beautiful open piazza that surrounds its grandiose front steps. If you haven't spent time in Sicily's capital in recent years, you will love what you find today. Twenty first century Palermo is a vibrant and modernising city with a beautiful new marina, a superb range of public parks and a good bar or restaurant on every corner. The old mafia stereotypes have never been less true, and nowhere is this more the case than the friendly and welcoming pedestrian-only confines of via Maqueda.Relax and Catch the Sun OutdoorsAs a final bonus, residents will have private access a shared outdoor space. The clubhouse level garden will be on the ground floor, with wooden decking and spaces to eat, meet and work. The upper floors will rise above the surrounding buildings, offering superb panoramic views of the centre of Palermo and the surrounding countryside.A Lucrative Investment OpportunityWhile the smaller flats in particular would be a bit small for year-round living, they would make perfect houses for investment use. We are even able to take care of the admin for you through our sister company, Solemar Sicilia.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?
