Villa Marisa- Capo d'OrlandoVilla Marisa is located on the edge of the seaside resort of Capo Orlando. It is situated on a hill behind the town with a sweeping view of the sea and the Aeolian Islands off the coast.The propertyThe villa is reached via an asphalted road - an electric gate opened the entrance to the large parking lot. The plot is 1300m² in size and on the plot is the villa with canopies, which together with the 157m² of the house give a total living area of around 250m².The house has an exceptionally beautiful, well-kept garden with an English lawn and a 7 × 4 m swimming pool. The entire property is fenced. On the roof there is a photovoltaic system with 10kw/h production of electrical energy. Throughout the house there are radiators for central heating and various air conditioning units as well as a pellet stove. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. On the north side of the villa there is a large canopy which has been glazed by the owner and thus functions as another large living room. Under this terrace there is a basement room of 55 m², which is accessible from the outside and which has been converted into a small apartment, but without being approved as a residential property, also because the room is perhaps 2.20 m high.SurroundingsThis beautiful villa with sea views in the scenic north of Sicily offers a unique view that one can only dream of when considering buying a property on our historic island. From the terraces, from the pool, from the barbecue area, the panorama is intoxicating.To the south rise the hills that will form the natural park of the Nebrodi Mountains, densely covered with green foliage. Along the coast, which leads east towards Messina, you will see beaches and towns, but also other vacation homes and houses inhabited all year round, perfectly positioned to contemplate the undulating Tyrrhenian Sea that unfolds to the north.On a clear day, the view of the volcanic Aeolian archipelago, one of the most seismically active areas in Europe, will take your breath away. The rocky islands lie some thirty kilometers out to sea, but the clarity with which they come into focus from your bird's eye view, almost 270 meters above sea level, is remarkable.PossibilitiesThis villa is only suitable for owner-occupation! It is in a fantastic location and the well-kept garden and pool leave nothing to be desired. No renovation backlog - ready to move into! Meer weten?

Casa Puccio - SciaccaThis typical Sicilian old town house is located in the center of the south-western Sicilian port town of Sciacca.SurroundingsThe house is certainly more than 100 years old, and the walls are correspondingly thick. The old town of Sciacca is located on a hill, so that this house can only be reached by a very small car. You usually park in the market square in the upper part of the town and then walk about 100-150 m to the house.The propertyThe house has the typical charm of a Sicilian old town property, it extends over three floors and as it is situated on a slope, both the first floor and the first floor have direct access from a small street. Theoretically, the first floor could also be lived in independently and separated from the rest of the house. There is a toilet on both the first floor and the second floor. From the second floor, a relatively comfortable internal staircase leads to the top floor, where we find a roof terrace of around 40 m², which also offers a partial sea view between the houses.The house originally belonged to a Sicilian family who emigrated to Germany and the current owners, the heirs of the former emigrants, are no longer interested in this house, which is why they want to sell it. The house is in an average condition, it can also be described as inhabited, especially since the smaller, damp areas in the house are still being repaired by the current owners. These damp patches are not so much due to the ingress of moisture from outside, but mainly because the house has not been lived in for many months.OptionsThe owners are asking a z#price of €57,000 for this key-ready house with the existing furnishings, which seems justified given the approximately €35,000 invested in recent years Meer weten?

Appartamento Assunta - PozzalloLarge flat near the beach in south-east SicilyThe propertyThe ‘Assunta’ flat is actually less of a classic holiday flat in an older building, but rather a condominium in a normal apartment building. We like this property because it is not far from the beach (approx. 500 metres) and you could easily turn it into 2 flats, as it was originally intended. You could live in one flat yourself and then rent out the other.The flat has a floor area of approx. 180 square metres and currently has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The ‘lounge’ is particularly large and could also be divided up. The flat has central heating and is connected to the natural gas network. The heating is located on the balcony. Large balconies also invite you to sit outside.The neighbourhoodPozzallo is a town in the province of Ragusa with 18,997 inhabitants and is home to the southernmost railway station in Italy! Although most people still work in agriculture, tourism is becoming increasingly important. The fantastic sandy beaches in the town and the surrounding area have been awarded the ‘Blue Flag’, the cleanest beaches and the best water anywhere.OpportunitiesAs already written, the flat could be divided into two independent residential units and thus also partially rented out.In my opinion, there would still be ‘room for manoeuvre’ in terms of price, you just have to try it out.

Sold fully-furnished and ready for immediate habitation, this luxurious property is an exclusive opportunity to purchase both land and a beautiful country houseTimeless Design and Long-Lasting DependabilityThe villa is a sturdy, stone-built construction in traditional style, that seems to date from long before its actual 2009 construction. The large open-plan living areas allow for all of the hustle and bustle of family life, and invite entertaining on a grand style. There is a large roof-terrace patio with uninterrupted panoramic views of the surrounding hillside and the blue Tyrrhenian Sea just two kilometres to the north.Open Spaces Inside and OutAs well as a bright, ample family room on the ground floor, which seamlessly integrates kitchen, dining area and living room plus a very generous entrance hall, there is a pair of double bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower.Up the sweeping, broad and open staircase the layout is duplicated on the first floor, a very substantial reception room leading to the terrace and another pair of double bedrooms.

Nobles Anwesen - Aci RealeThis 1000 m² estate in the absolute centre of Aci Reale was bought 20 years ago by a wealthy German and completely restored over eight years of painstaking and elaborate work. The buildings are built around a very beautiful inner courtyard, which also houses a swimming pool, which is currently covered by a wooden platform and a conservatory. The entire property has 30 rooms and 15 bathrooms alone. Everything is more than luxurious, from the bathrooms to the ornate ceilings and marble floors. The origins of this building go back to a Spanish Baroque family who had their headquarters here. Over the years, the property fell into disrepair and was only rediscovered and fully restored by the current owner. There really isn't a corner of this property that isn't in perfect condition. Of course, there is central gas heating and a system for cooling and monitoring.It is not easy to describe this property here. Every room is decorated differently, the owner's love for this property is evident everywhere. You simply have to visit this house yourself and wander through the rooms. There are several kitchens and also five separate flats that can be rented out individually and are not furnished but have been completely renovated. The main house, where the owner lives all year round, has a billiard room, for example, and its own bar, which almost looks like a small pub and is equipped with everything that goes with it. The dining room has room for 20 people, the owner's bedroom is more than luxurious, there is a huge dressing room with an infinite number of cupboards, a huge private bathroom, etc.The property also has several terraces on different levels, which also offer a view over the whole city to the sea. As Catania is easy to reach by plane from many cities, I recommend that anyone interested book a flight and let us and the owner show them round the house.Determining the purchase price is of course difficult, as on the one hand there is the almost lavish interior including all the furniture, for which the owner claims to have spent around € 10 million including the purchase price and renovation work. On the other hand, there is of course a real price per square metre in the centre of Aci Reale, which does not provide for such purchase prices. Nevertheless, the vendor would like to achieve a real price for this property that does not correspond to what he has spent so far, but nevertheless does justice to the value of the property, the renovation work and the furnishings.

Villa Vanessa - MongerbinoVilla Vanessa is a splendid, newly built villa situated on the coastal road that connects Aspra with the fishing village of Porticello. Along this road there are numerous villas that belong or have belonged to wealthy Palermitans.The location is perfect, just a few minutes' walk from the village of Aspra, where freshly caught fish is sold every morning. Numerous pubs, restaurants, bars and all major shopping facilities can be reached in a few minutes.The villa enjoys a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Palermo. The sea is visible from all rooms of the villa and seems to penetrate the house. An expanse of a thousand shades of blue that change depending on the time of day and weather conditions.The villa is about 15 km from the centre of Palermo and less than 50 km from Falcone Borsellino International Airport. Bagheria railway station is also less than 3 km away.The villaThe villa stands on a plot of 3,300 metres, most of which is wooded with pine and oak trees. The plot is sloping and extends over the front and rear of the house.The villa was recently completed and consists of 2 floors. The main entrance of the villa is on the right side of the house. The entrance of the villa opens onto a small corridor with a first bedroom on the left, a bathroom on the right and, further along the corridor, a kitchen-diner.At the end of the corridor is the large living room with a fireplace. The room has large windows and double doors that look out onto the large veranda with sea views. Here you can spend the spring and summer months and enjoy the large outdoor area that the villa has. On the left side of the villa there is an outdoor kitchen with barbecue.Everything is new, the window frames with double glazing, thermal insulation and shutters, the doors, the terracotta floors throughout the house and the beautiful fireplace in the corner of the living room. The view from all the windows is breathtaking, the sea can be seen from almost every point of the house.A staircase leads to the second floor where there is a large hallway with windows. Here there is a second door leading to the villa (this door gives the possibility to create two different flats with independent entrances). A corridor then leads to the 3 bedrooms, all of which have access to the terrace and offer sensational sea views. At the end of the corridor is the bathroom on the first floor.The property is located in one of the most beautiful streets in the province of Palermo.

Villa Rosanna – TrabiaDetached villa on 2 levels, newly renovated, perfectly insulated, with panoramic views of the coastThe propertyThe villa for sale is a detached house on two floors with panoramic views over the Gulf of Capo Zafferano to Cefalù, with an adjoining plot of land of approx. 1500 m2 with lush olive trees and a superstructure pool. Above all, it is energy self-sufficient thanks to the total energy renovation carried out in 2022 with the installation of a solar system on the roof, which guarantees an energy efficiency class A2 with an energy consumption of 88.97 kwh/m2 per year (the invoice below the photos clearly shows the very low consumption). The house with walls, roof and windows has been completely renovated and insulated, so the electricity bill together with the batteries will no longer be a problem for you.Thanks to the orography of the terrain, access to the villa from the outside is via two entrances that completely separate the two floors: a main entrance on the ground floor directly into the study and another via an external staircase that leads to the balcony on the first floor and extends around the entire perimeter of the building. The exterior design of the villa follows the natural course of the land with the olive grove extending laterally on one side and a reserved area for relaxing with a hammock on the other. Inside, the two floors are connected by an internal staircase made entirely of solid oak wood.On the ground floor there is a study, a bathroom and a room that is currently used as a living room but could easily be converted into a bedroom. Adjacent to the living room there is a small storage room with access from the outside, where the connections for a second kitchen are located, which can be realised and possibly connected to the first floor to guarantee it complete living autonomy.The first floor houses both the living area and the sleeping area with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living area is functionally divided with the kitchen located in an open-plan space with the living room. The kitchen leads to the terrace on the mountain side. From the living room you reach the balcony with views of the gulf. To the side, with reserved views of the meadow with olive trees, there is an equipped terrace covered by a wooden roof and transparent elements that houses the dining area and the brick barbecue, which is connected to the representative outdoor areas.The internal distribution therefore makes it possible to have two independent flats that could guarantee the presence of two families or even an investment opportunity with a second income.The unfurnished house is in a ready-to-move-in condition. The following work may need to be done by the buyer: Some paving stones are broken in the driveway and would need to be replaced, The railings on the upper balcony would need painting and one bedroom in particular, which was previously used as a nursery for 7 year old twins, would need painting. The vendors will no longer be doing this work.SurroundingsContrada Vucca Vanelle is characterised by stately villas built in the 80s and 90s, when the area experienced its greatest expansion, culminating in the construction of various holiday homes for the Palermitan middle class. Today, thanks to its connection to the city of Palermo, the area is a favourite destination for those who want to live in a quiet environment away from the noise of the city, both in summer and winter. The villa can be reached via provincial road 12, which is connected to the state road linking coastal towns such as San Nicola l'Arena, Altavilla Milicia and Trabia to the Palermo-Catania motorway.The sea and the motorway entrance can be reached in about ten minutes by car and the hillside location allows you to enjoy the freshness in summer and the panorama.OpportunitiesWe have already sold several villas in this area; the price was quite comparable depending on the size and condition - but no property had anywhere near these insulation values, which is characterised by low electricity consumption but also by a pleasant quality of living in summer and winter. Not to mention the better sales value! This will also play an even greater role in Sicily in the future.This is not just a holiday residence, but above all a villa that can be lived in all year round, just as it has been used in the past. It is being sold purely for family reasons. I could imagine that the sellers would also accept a slightly lower purchase offer in view of the minor cosmetic repairs. Meer weten?
Casa Marilyn - CinisiVilla Marilyn with its large garden is located approximately 20 km west of the city limits of Palermo in the municipality of Cinisi. The village of Cinisi is located directly by the sea and just a few kilometers from Palermo airport.The propertyTo get to Villa Marilyn, drive about 7 km inland from the coast into the hills. The house is situated at 590 m above sea level and has a wonderful view of the north-west coast as far as San Vito lo Capo. The house was built almost 30 years ago by the current owner and makes a very solid impression. There are no damp patches or cracks in the walls. The approximately 120 m² apartment is located on the second floor and is accessed via an external staircase. Underneath is a large garage with adjoining cellar room of approximately 80 m². From here you can also access the apartment directly via a spiral staircase. There is also a toilet in the garage.The approx. 120 m² upper floor is divided as follows: You enter the eat-in kitchen and find yourself in a room of certainly 40 m² with windows facing the sea. From here, a corridor leads to the sleeping area, where there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Everything is very practical, but even the floor tiles are not unfashionable and acceptable.The house has a pitched roof, which prevents the infiltration of water. Around the entire building, a so-called Indiana - which corresponds to a trench on the inside in front of the outer wall around the entire house - was created, which is a space about 1 m wide that prevents the penetration of moisture and cold. As you can see, this measure was successful!Around the house there is an orchard of almost 2000 m², which is not completely flat; in addition to olive trees, there are mainly fruit and nut trees. It is all very green and there seems to be no lack of water.The house does not have a municipal water connection, but it does have a well and rainwater can be collected in a 50,000-liter cistern. There are two springs just a few meters from the house where you can also fill up with drinking water.The surroundingsThere are some neighbors in the immediate vicinity who also live here all year round, but you still have total privacy and cannot be seen from your terrace. The village of Cinisi can be reached by car in about 10 minutes on a very well-developed winding provincial road, where there are also very beautiful sandy beaches and of course very good shopping facilities. Palermo city center can be reached in about 40-50 minutes, the airport in about 20 minutes. From the house you can start very nice hikes and enjoy the super view. There is cell phone reception at the house, Internet is received via a satellite dish.The owners are asking around €200,000 for this house. The house has all permits and would cost well over €340,000 as a new build. I would install double glazing in the windows, install radiators if necessary (the pipes are prepared) and update the electrical system as work required for year-round living. Meer weten?

Villa Giò Casuzze (Ragusa Marina)Villa Giò is a splendid, perfectly renovated villa located a few metres from the sea in a residential context. The property is located in one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas of eastern Sicily, on the coast of Marina di Ragusa, precisely in the locality of Casuzze, (a hamlet of Santa Croce Camerina). The location allows one to reach the beach even on foot, being only 600 metres away from it. The area offers all the necessary services (restaurants, pizzerias, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc.), but at the same time is less chaotic than nearby Marina di Ragusa.The province of Ragusa can be reached by plane by landing at Comiso (the nearest airport) or Catania (the most important airport). The coastline, with its shallow waters sloping towards the open sea and a wonderfully blue sea is particularly suitable for families with children.Marina di Ragusa is the beating heart of the summer nightlife on the Ragusa coast and is one of the busiest seaside resorts in the whole of Sicily. Those who want to relax in quiet and peaceful areas will find in the Randello Reserve the perfect place to be in contact with nature and enjoy an uncontaminated sea.Situated in the heart of the Val di Noto, with no less than 18 sites declared World Heritage Sites by unesco in 2002, Ragusa is one of the most important places for the presence of testimonies of Baroque art, with its churches and eighteenth-century palaces set above all in the ancient part of the city, Ragusa Ibla.An area where history, art and tradition contribute to making the Hyblean area one of the most renowned and popular tourist destinations in Sicily today.A few kilometres from Ragusa are two other unesco heritage sites: modica, the city of a hundred churches but also of the flavoured chocolate that has been produced there for centuries according to an ancient recipe, and scicli, an enchanting, scenic and precious Baroque jewel.The porto turistico marina di ragusa is only 2 km away from the property, which can be easily covered on foot or by bicycle along an efficient cycle path that runs along the sea and offers a breathtaking view, especially at sunset; it is one of the best equipped and most efficient moorings in Sicily, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. The villaThe property was built in 1986 and entirely renovated in 2022.The renovation was aimed at energy efficiency, bringing the dwelling up to energy class A4, through the installation of a 6 kw photovoltaic system with 15 kw storage batteries, a hybrid boiler for heating by means of radiators installed in each room, a heat pump for the production of domestic hot water, and the replacement of windows and doors with thermal break windows. The property is also equipped with air conditioners for cooling/heating, an alarm system and surveillance cameras, a wall safe, an irrigation system for the entire garden, a container for the supply of LPG gas, and a well that guarantees a plentiful supply of water in addition to that provided by the municipality of Santa Croce Camerina.The villa is spread over two floors and enjoys ample equipped outdoor spaces and a large garage on the -1 floor.It has two entrances, one pedestrian and one vehicular, positioned on two different sides of the house.The driveway access leads via a ramp to the lower floor, where there is a very large garage that can accommodate up to four cars or a boat, as well as being a valuable shelter for storing all the outdoor furniture during the colder months when it is not in use.The pedestrian access to the property leads to a beautiful garden with lawn and ornamental and fruit trees (oranges, lemons, olives) and to a large portico where the two entrances to the house are located.The first gives access to the living room, the second to the kitchen.This makes it very convenient to be able to make use of the outdoor spaces to organise lunches and dinners during the long spring and summer months.Continuing along the veranda you reach another perfectly equipped area where you will find an oven, a barbecue, and a laundry room with bathroom and shower.Under the veranda are the two entrances to the house.The first gives access to the kitchen, the second to the living room.On the ground floor there are then two bedrooms, a storage room, a bathroom and a winter garden, cosy and very bright, which constitutes the added value to the house.The property is completed by a beautiful attic room, which is accessed via a spiral staircase located on the left side of the house.The height of the central part of the attic, where the bedroom and the dining area have been positioned, serenely allows it to be exploited to the full.The side part, on the other hand, where the kitchen and bathroom have been positioned, has a limited height.The attic is completed by two balconies located on the two extreme sides of the house. One of the two balconies has a sea view.Its incredible features make the property the most beautiful in the area and certainly one of a kind.An important detail to highlight is also the total regularity of every part of the property, which does not have any illegalities. The Energy Class A4 allows very low running costs of the property and a great appreciation in economic terms of the property.The villa is ready to be lived in. It does not need any work.Nothing is missing except for a swimming pool which can be quietly placed in the large lawn behind the house. 1 Kitchen1 Living room1 Winter garden2 Bedrooms1 Bathroom1 Store room1 Laundry room with shower1 Porch with barbecue and oven1 Garage1 Attic room (kitchen, bathroom with limited ceiling height + living room bedroom with normal ceiling height)Services:Water: Well for irrigation + municipal waterworksHot water: Hybrid boilerElectricity: 6 kw solar panels + 15 kw storage batteriesDouble glazingAir Conditioning in each roomAlarm system with cameras + wall safeIrrigation systemMobile phone connection speed: 130 MB Meer weten?
Villa Presti - CefaluTWO-bedroom, SEA-view house in cefalù's green hillsSurrounded by woodland, at the top of one of the lower peaks of the Madonie Natural Park but just twelve minutes' drive from Cefalù, Chalet Presti offers a sensational blend of seclusion and convenience.With Cefalù one of Sicily's blue chip tourist markets, this is a very solid investment for an enticing price per square metre – the total covered area spans a huge 240m2. We see Chalet Presti as being ripe for a makeover with the addition of a pair of extra bedrooms, giving it a sleeping capacity of eight plus, and significant potential as a vacation rental if you don't plan to live there 365 days a year.Vast storage space for cars or agricultural machinery Built on two floors and a mezzanine, the house takes advantage of the hillside to offer beautiful views from every room. The ground floor is currently a huge garage, or storage space, but there is tons of potential to put this to a more efficient use. Outside is a terrace which overlooks the green hillside rolling down to a wide stretch of coastline which is visible throughout.Bright and spacious living areaOn the upper floor is the main living area of the house. Here you will find a pair of bedrooms and twin bathrooms, as well as a spacious family kitchen. However, the majority of the space is taken up with a chalet-style, high-ceilinged open space living room, with a mezzanine gallery built on a slight overhang.

Plot Dispenza – Sea-view Buildable Land in Sicily's Madonie Natural Park, with Consent to Build Multiple Homes or a Holiday VillageA beautiful stretch of sea-view land on the hillsides of northern Sicily, Plot Dispenza offers nearly two hectares of meadow and olive trees, bursting with potential.The plot is beautiful and the location scenic, but the real key asset here is the fact that it has been classed as Zone C 'buildable' land. In contrast to most land which becomes available to the international market, this allows for a far larger-scale development project.Ready to develop, with permission to buildOn 'Zone C' land it is permitted to build 0.1m3 of habitable structure for every m2 of ground space. In the case of Plot Dispenza that translates to 600m2 of housing or accommodation.This is enough to build a medium-sized holiday village or glamping resort for tourists, a residential complex suitable for timeshare or second homes, or simply four or five detached villas, depending on the scale of each. Of course, it would also be possible to build a single structure, a really vast luxury home. But from an investment standpoint the best returns are likely to come from dividing the land.Five kilometres from the beach, in the foothills of a stunning Natural ParkThe site is directly adjacent to the SP9 road which runs downhill from Collesano, on the lower slopes of the picturesque Madonie Natural Park, to Campofelice di Roccella on the Tyrrhenian Sea. With the iconic beach town of Cefalù less than half an hour to the east, and the international airport at Palermo just an hour to the west, the location is a perfect one.Collesano is an extremely popular destination with the international market, and even in this out-of-town district we have recently helped buyers from Austria, Germany and the USA buy villas and land in the immediate neighbourhood. It is a wonderful, open-minded community where the best of traditional Sicilian heritage blends seamlessly with new arrivals from all corners of the world.If you are ready to take on a challenge, Plot Dispenza is incredibly rich in potential.

Altogether, it is several plots belonging together, which are also partly separated by a path. There is another ruin on the property further down the valley. It is partly quite steep there.The house is less than 3 km from the municipality of Mistretta and a little more than 5 km from the municipality of Reitano.

The sea can be reached in less than 15 minutes by car, while beautiful Palermo is just over 100 km away. Falcone Borsellino International Airport can be reached in just over 1 hour.The houseThe property consists of two plots and two buildings in need of renovation.
