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?

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. A new lemon tree was also planted.

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 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 machineryBuilt 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. This intelligent bit of design has created what is currently used as an additional living area and a dining space. Of course it could be changed in something more efficient, like 2 new bedrooms. OAKS, corks and pinesSet in an ample wooded estate of 5500m2, Chalet Presti is a wonderful getaway in a prestigious district where many of the island's rich and famous spend their summers.

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.

Once through the entrance gate you will find yourself in a rustic house made of typical stone with a beautiful patio from which you can enjoy a magnificent view.From here, continuing along a stone corridor adorned with beautiful flower beds with many ornamental plants, you will find yourself on a large veranda terrace equipped with an outdoor kitchen and oven. The house is nestled among the hills, the feeling is that of being engulfed by nature and peace.The land in front of the terrace measures approximately 1,000 square metres.

With some renovation work, one could have a rustic stone house at an affordable cost. The real attraction of this country house is definitely its location with its panoramic view of the hills, the crystal clear sea and the Aeolian Islands in the background.Enjoying the sunset on the veranda or organising an open-air dinner under the stars, admiring the spectacle of nature that surrounds you could be an experience hard to forget.Having all this always at one's disposal for many could be a real dreamThe house is served by:Electricity: ActiveWater: Well with 9,000 litre cisternHot Water: BoilerSewer: Black WellInternet: Good network coverage, download speed 40 mega 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.

Villette Venere - Altavilla MiliciaCurrently approaching the final phase of construction, the twin villas of the Villette Venere in the northern Sicilian town of Altavilla Milicia are now available for advance purchase.Large three-bedroom, three bathroom homesEach of the twin homes will give around 180m2 of indoor space, with by far the largest single area the expansive living room on the ground floor.

Windows on the staircase at the front of the homes will allow for air and natural light to pass right through when you like.

All of the bedrooms will have private access to either a balcony or a terrace.Still Under Construction with the Option to CustomiseThe villas are now fully standing, with the walls, floors and flat roof now in place. The plastering, decoration and all finishings are still to be completed, as is the preparation of the outdoor spaces. This means that buyers who act swiftly will have the option to contribute extensively to much of this process.The developers are proposing the realisation of an optional basement, with the possibility of adding over 100m2 of indoor space to the home. This could eventually be a home gym, playroom, workshop or any number of other possibilities. Another optional extra is the chance to buy a small plot of land to the front of your new home, increasing your garden from 450m2 to 750m2. Finally, and perfect for the heat of the Sicilian summer, you can even opt to install a swimming pool in your yard.

The views from the upper balconies and terraces will take in some fabulous surrounding hillsides, the great blue sky of Sicily and even a little of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the middle distance. Everything you could need on a regular basis is walkable from your new home.If you want the infrastructure or culture of one of Sicily's great cities, however, Palermo is only a half hour journey away, along the motorway or by train to the east. Besides the myriad charms of this legendary metropolis, you can also reach all manner of different beaches, coves and seafront in a similar travel time. The location really does offer the best of all possible worlds.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?
