Property in Sicily

Villa Emanuela - TrabiaSpacious and beautifully presented, villa emanuela is a detached three-bedroom family home outside Trabia in the province of Palermo. Just 800m from the nearest beach as the crow flies, you can enjoy a sea view from the sunny terraces, the best of which has been created using the entire flat roof of the single storey property.Three bedrooms and some great family spacesThe floor plan is typically Sicilian, with one end of the house used in the daytime, and the other at night. The former includes a roomy entrance hall and a very large kitchen-diner, where you can soak up the sunshine that comes from the large south-facing window. The three bedrooms can all sleep two people, although one of them is currently being used as a study.The sun room was once an uncovered portico which was glazed on three sides. This has created a fabulous space to use all year round, with the windows open in summer and closed to keep the heat in during the short Sicilian winters.Walking distance from the beachAlthough the area is very rural, and you certainly won't feel nearly as on top of your neighbours as you can in the residences and more intensive developments nearer to the beach, the road to the seaside is just 1.4km. If that feels too far on a hot day, you can cover the ground in minutes on a bike or by car.The property is also conveniently located for Sicily's most important motorway, which connects Palermo in the east with Messina in the west. The location is really ideal for a buyer who wants to explore everything Sicily has to offer, with nowhere on the island more than a three hour drive away.In great condition for year-round useThe property is extremely energy efficient, with solar panels to generate electricity and heat water on the roof, and recently installed windows to insulate the interior. The south-facing windows and sun room are great for catching the warmth of the sun even on a winter's day, and as a final comfort, all of the rooms have gas-powered radiators.In the summer, you'll love the air conditioners distributed throughout, and the shade offered by the trees in the garden and canopies in front of the sun room and on the roof. Plus, of course, you can cool off with a dip in the perfect clear water at any time you fancy!For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Appartamento Michele - PorticelloA practical and spacious three-bedroom home on the Sicilian coast, Appartamento Michele is found in the welcoming fishing village of Porticello, just twenty minutes from central Palermo.SUN, space and sea airThe second-floor apartment occupies the top residential level of a small three-unit building, with balconies running along three sides and a large roof terrace for the exclusive use of the buyer. Inside, the layout is generous: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storeroom, an eat-in kitchen and a living room with dual exposition that catches light from the south-west and south-east. Ceiling height is 3 metres throughout, and the warm patterned tile floors match the wooden trim for a cohesive, welcoming feel.A roof terrace to make your ownUpstairs, the open-air terrace is a highlight. Large enough to accommodate a pergola, outdoor kitchen and seating area, it’s the kind of versatile outdoor space that’s hard to come by at this price point.With a small adjustment to the front parapet, a partial sea view can be opened up – and the terrace can even be divided to serve two separate units, should you choose to split the apartment for rental income.Porticello: character and convenienceThe marina is 300 metres away, the beach 650 metres, and the lovely inlet at Sant’Elia just over a kilometre along the coast. Santa Flavia’s train station is a kilometre inland, with services to Palermo in twenty minutes. The area is rich in archaeology, natural beauty and fresh seafood, yet remains blissfully free of mass tourism.Affordable and ready to useThe apartment is in sound condition and will need no urgent work. However, some modernising would definitely bring the best out of it. We recommend redoing the electrical system, bathrooms and windows, but this is reflected in a very appealing asking price. Its generous footprint also makes it possible to divide into two separate units, if you're seeking rental income or a smaller home with a guest flat.With balconies on three sides, high ceilings, a roof terrace and a fishing village location minutes from Palermo, this is a highly recommendable mid-range purchase with plenty of scope to add value, both indoors and out.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Plot Gorgone - GratteriWith approved plans for a rural tourism resort and sweeping Madonie views, Plot Gorgone is a 2.5-hectare development opportunity in the hills above Gratteri, twenty-five minutes from Cefalù.Six luxury camping pitches and a natural poolThe approved plans set out six independent luxury camping pitches along a marked-out internal road, each positioned for privacy and landscape integration. At the lower end of the estate, the plans include a main house for reception and dining, a guest building with three en-suite bedrooms and a bio-piscina – a natural swimming pool in keeping with the ecological ethos of the project.All key authorisations are already in place: the geological survey, the Madonie Park environmental clearance and the municipal building permit.SOUTH-facing and close to the coastThe hillside slopes towards the south-west, catching the sun from midday through to sunset. About 350 metres above sea level it's a quiet and secluded spot dotted with lush Mediterranean vegetation including olive trees and other fruit. The nearest village is Gratteri, a ten-minute drive away, while the nearest beaches can be reached in twenty minutes and the tourist magnet of Cefalù in twenty-five.A growing market with little competitionThe Madonie currently has very few luxury camping – or ‘glamping’ – facilities, and the Cefalù area still relies on traditional campsites. A well-designed resort here would occupy an open niche in a segment that is attracting growing interest from international travellers. The total investment, including all construction, is estimated at between €800,000 and €1,000,000, with projected net annual profits of €60,000 to €80,000 under direct management.Purchase a fully operational commercial entityThe sale is structured as a company transfer – Ecoturismo Valle di Gratteri SRL – reducing transaction costs by an estimated €8,000. The buyer inherits a legal entity ready to operate, along with the approved project. The only remaining step before construction can begin is to complete the structural engineering plans. At its asking price, Plot Gorgone offers strong value as development land with real income potential.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Villa Due Mari - MondelloAn 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 bathroomsThe 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 poolThe 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Villa delle Palme - PartinicoA true luxury property, Villa delle Palme is one of the best examples of a modern villa to be found in the west of Sicily.250M2 of stylishly designed indoor spaceThe three-bedroom home has been built on an extra-large scale, with all of the main living spaces as large as you could possibly need. The kitchen-diner is a beautiful 7 x 7 room with a perfectly fitted kitchen, a long breakfast bar and still plenty of space for cupboards and a dining suite. The sun room at the front of the property makes for a unique lounge, with full glazing on three sides giving you the sense of sitting out in the garden.Each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. The master is especially luxurious, with a vast bedroom overlooking the green lawn to the front of the villa, and a bathroom-cum-dressing room that might genuinely be the size of your first apartment. The layout is completed by a little entrance hall and a pair of store cupboards. An irresistible private poolEven by the standards of private pools, we think you'd have to agree that this one is an absolute beauty. Given enormous room to breathe in the ample back garden, but served by not one but two nearby pagodas, it's a 120,000 litre gem framed in a nearly white stone that makes the turquoise waters an extraordinary eye-popping colour on a sunny day. The rest of the 5,600m2 garden is no less impressive, with highlights including the row of mature palm trees that run the length of the driveway, the huge expanse of green lawn in sturdy tropical grass and the fascinating variety of ornamental plants which have been around the entire property. A pool house contains all the equipment necessary to take care of the water and the gardens that surround it.No expense spared to make a sustainable homeThe villa is blessed with direct sunlight from dawn to dusk, and the sellers have taken full advantage of this enviable natural gift. The entire roof has been covered in photovoltaic panels, which combine to generate a huge 16kW of power. There is also a 10kW storage battery, to make sure that as little as possible of what is generated ever goes to waste.There is also an autonomous water supply: a well rises in the back garden and this is used to fill the pool, supply the house and even fill a gigantic 100,000 litre cistern which ensures you against even the longest of dry spells.Convenient for beach, city and airportThe nearest sandy beach is just a ten minute drive away, and the town of Partinico even closer. With beautiful attractions like the seafront of Castellammare del Golfo, the nature reserve of Lo Zingaro, the archaeological site at Segesta and Sicily's largest city, Palermo, all within easy reach, the location of Villa delle Palme could hardly be better. You can reach the nearest airport in just twenty minutes.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Casa Ignazia - CefalùA renovation project with real promise in one of Sicily’s most famous coastal towns, Casa Ignazia is found in the Kalura district of Cefalù, just twenty metres from the sea.Character that shines in the morning sunPart of a historic coastal building divided among several owners, Casa Ignazia is arranged over two floors. The first-floor apartment has a bright bedroom with two windows, a living area with kitchen and an east-facing balcony that fills the rooms with morning light. The exterior is finished in attractive exposed stone, with a small enclosed garden.Upstairs in the attic, original wooden roof trusses present a striking architectural feature waiting to be revealed by a considered renovation. On the ground floor, two further rooms of around 20m² each provide scope to expand the home into a generous two-level layout. One has its own independent entrance, and both could be connected internally to create a proper kitchen and living area below.Right by the beach knowledgeable locals favourThe small rocky coves of Kalura are a well-kept secret. Many visitors to Cefalù never discover them, while the locals head here to escape the crowds in high season. The beach catches the morning sun and the water is clear and sheltered. Several hotels, bars and restaurants are within a short walk, including the Michelin-noted Il Capone at the five-star Hotel Le Calette.A lovely twenty-minute stroll past the lighthouse takes you into the heart of Cefalù, with its medieval streets, Arab-Norman cathedral, atmospheric piazzas and famous golden beach. You can park right outside your front door, too, which is a real advantage over the old town. The Madonie Natural Park is twenty minutes inland, and Palermo’s international airport about an hour to the west.A renovation project that makes financial senseA full renovation, from roof replacement to new systems and finishes, is estimated at €70,000 to €110,000. The total investment, including purchase, would still be well below the going rate for a finished home in this location. Demand for summer holiday rentals in Cefalù is strong, making this an attractive prospect for a buyer who wants a coastal retreat that can also earn its keep.Additional rooms within the same building may become available in the future, offering the chance to grow the property further.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Casa Giulia - TrapaniWith a private terrace, a garden plot and an asking price well below the Sicilian average, Casa Giulia is an affordable renovation opportunity on the outskirts of Trapani.A blank canvas at ground levelThe property is a ground-floor apartment with an open-plan living area, kitchen and bathroom, plus a large storage room with direct vehicle access from the street. The interior layout is ready to be reimagined by a new owner.Above the property is a rooftop terrace that belongs to the apartment alone, and adjoining it is a private plot of land. These outdoor spaces can be connected to create a garden – a combination you would not expect to find in a city-fringe property at this price.Gateway to the egadi islands and western sicily's finest beachesCasa Giulia sits less than a kilometre from the motorway exit for Trapani. The city’s beaches are three kilometres away, and the port – where ferries leave for Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo – is a short drive. The famous salt flats stretch along the coast to the south, and the medieval citadel of Erice is reached by cable car or a winding drive up the mountain. San Vito Lo Capo, the Zingaro nature reserve and Palermo are all within easy reach.In the immediate neighbourhood you will find a supermarket, pharmacies and local shops. The property is in the municipality of Erice, but at sea level – the lower district that blends seamlessly into Trapani, not the medieval hill town above.A renovation with rental potentialThe property needs a full renovation: electrical work, bathroom fixtures and new windows. It is currently unconnected to electricity and water, though the mains run along the street outside and connection is straightforward. All planning documentation is in order, including a certificate of habitability.A well-finished property in this location would have clear appeal on the short-term rental market, with the Egadi Islands and Trapani’s beaches drawing visitors throughout the year. At its asking price, Casa Giulia is an accessible way into one of the most undervalued corners of the Sicilian property market.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Casa Carmelo - AgrigentoA three-bedroom villa with sea-view balcony, Casa Carmelo is a beautiful holiday home in Sicily's southern region of Agrigento.500m from the seaThe 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 apartmentsCasa 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 treasuresAnyone 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.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

In fact, everything you see in our photos and virtual tour is included - there is even a tractor!Peace and Seclusion with Sensational Hillside ViewsThis corner of the island offers the possibility to completely disconnect from modern life. It has a private water supply from both a well and a nearby spring and it would be very possible to install solar panels to give you energy independence too. The olive grove contains about 250 mature trees, and there is also a huge array of fruit trees and more than enough space to grow your own vegetables.It's an area where a car is essential, but the town of Mistretta is only twenty minutes' drive up the road. To the north is Santo Stefano di Camastra, and there are plenty of wonderful beaches within an hour's radius, none more spectacular than the golden sandy seafront of Cefalù to the west. With the green slopes of Sicily's largest natural park to explore above you and the pristine waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea below, it's a magnificent spot for lovers of the great outdoors.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Casa Carbonara - CefalùA large property on a beautiful 11,400m² estate, Casa Carbonara offers a fabulous sea-view panorama from its perch above the seaside gem of Cefalù.Sleeps eight, with plenty of space to shareInside, the two-storey villa comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and a spacious family kitchen. With minimal space lost to hallways it makes the most of its 195m² of interior, although a reconfiguration would make the compact bathrooms more comfortable.There is renovation work to be done on the interiors, but the views from the trio of sea-view bedrooms up the smartly marbled flight of stairs speak to a promise well worth the unlocking. The house is well presented, with a recently installed water filtration system providing clean tap water from the estate’s own wells.Olive groves, fruit trees and dark skiesThe three-acre triangular plot is planted with mature, fruit-bearing trees in a range of Mediterranean varieties. A new perimeter fence encloses almost the whole land, and a gravel access road serves the property. The gardens and terrace surrounding the house, complete with pizza oven, will host a wonderful array of sunny afternoons and starlit dinners.Just 3km inland and 600m above sea level, Casa Carbonara is in the foothills of the Madonie National Park, with the famous beach town of Cefalù a short drive below. The nearby village of Isnello is home to an international astronomical observatory that takes advantage of some of the darkest skies in southern Europe.A sound investment in one of sicily's strongest marketsA renovation budget of around €100,000 would cover new windows, updated bathrooms, a heating and cooling system, new electrics and photovoltaic power. More ambitious work, including opening up the ground floor and adding a swimming pool, would take the budget higher but the result would be a property of real distinction in one of the island’s most resilient tourist markets.The total investment, including purchase and renovation, would still represent strong value for a four-bedroom sea-view villa with three acres of land in the Cefalù municipality.

Appartamento Clelia - CataniaIn the north of central Catania, in the shadow of Mount Etna on Sicily's east coast, Appartamento Clelia is a mid-sized third-floor apartment with an attractive asking price.80M2 of intelligently used spaceThree-metre ceilings give a roominess to the apartment, as do its dual exposition to the north and south, allowing light and breeze to pass right through the home. The twin verandas, one still open and one enclosed with glazing, add to the sense of openness. The one to the north, left open, overlooks a piazza where a market is held at weekends, and also has a view of the city's football stadium, home to 'the Elephants', Catania FC.The two bedrooms and living room are a roughly similar size, with the largest of the three a very large master bedroom which faces south, with a view over the central courtyard of the U-shaped apartment building. The smaller bedroom connects to the open veranda on the opposite side of the property, as does the living room, which is currently used as a dining room. The kitchen and bathroom are long and narrow, the latter with fully-tiled white walls and a box shower. The galley-style kitchen connects to the enclosed veranda, which has become a de facto utility room. You'll find a large deep sink and connections for a washing machine.Great location in a vibrant and growing cityThe flat is within half an hour's walk of all the city's major attractions, including the arterial via Etnea, the cathedral, the waterfront, castle and the Bellini theatre. Catania is home to Sicily's largest and busiest airport, which can be reached in just fifteen minutes by car, and gives you a broad range of options for travel within Europe and even, in the summer months, to the east coast of the US.Travelling a short distance up and down the coast brings you to the picturesque seafront towns of Taormina and Siracusa, each home to some fabulous restaurants, pristine sea and interesting boutiques. Further afield but still within 90 minutes' travel time are the Baroque towns of Noto, Ragusa and Modica, the temples of Agrigento and of course the natural wonder of the Mount Etna National Park.Low Condominium Fee and the Potential for Rental IncomeThe communal areas of the building are maintained and managed by the condominium association, in return for a modest fee of €30 per month. Parking is freely available for residents in the central courtyard.At present the flat is rented to students who pay a rent of €400 per month. This arrangement could easily be continued if you don't plan to occupy the apartment yourself in the immediate future.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Casa Viola - GratteriA historic little home in the heart of one of our favourite Sicilian villages, Casa Viola in Gratteri is a real winner at the affordable asking price.Intelligently used space on four floorsThe cosy little town house in fact offers 95m2 of living space, with a simple floor plan that sees one main room and one secondary space on each level. Starting from the bottom, we find two double bedrooms on the lowest two storeys of the property, each of which is actually set below the street level but open at the far side thanks to the steep hillside on which the house has been built. On both of these floors is a bathroom with a shower, one an en-suite and the other accessed off the little landing.The ground floor proper has a hallway with plenty of space for storing coats, shoes and so forth. Around the corner is a living room with a miniature balcony. Finally, the top level is home to the kitchen-diner, with bench seating in a nook under the window and all the fittings you would expect. We've saved the best for last though – the square terrace lets natural light flood into the kitchen and gives you an unbelievably nice option for outdoor dining, with a panoramic view that takes in practically the whole of Gratteri and much of the green surrounding countryside. It's a real treat that everyone is certain to love.Traditional, warm and welcomingThe current owners of Casa Viola have put real effort into the presentation of the home, and you will find it in very good condition. There is no need whatsoever to renovate or invest anything beyond the purchase price. We particularly like the blue and white ceramic tiles which have been used throughout, and which give the property a really distinctive identity. You'll find them underfoot in the entrance, all the rooms and on the upper staircase, and they've also been used to fully tile the two bathrooms.Other charming and distinctively Sicilian features include the exposed roof timbers on the ceilings of the bedrooms and kitchen. Up here you will also surely be charmed by the built-in brick oven, right in the middle of the room. It's not something you'll use every day - and as you can see there is also an alcove that's perfect for a more modern oven – but it does make a great centrepiece and on special occasions you can prepare your food in the historic style of the region.Natural wonders in all directionsGratteri is a scenic spot in the middle of the Madonie Park, with wonderful views and enticing driving roads and hiking trails in all directions. If you like your outdoor time a little more sedate, it's just seven kilometres to the north coast, where you'll find golden sandy beaches in all directions. A particular highlight is the iconic beach town of Cefalù, which you can reach in half an hour.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Tenute La Rocca - CollesanoThree kilometres south of Collesano, in the Madonie Natural Park, Tenuta La Rocca is a large countryside estate with a house in need of renovation and a fully operational restaurant.An active restaurant with accommodationIn the past, Tenuta La Rocca was a renowned countryside restaurant, with two dining rooms capable of hosting more than eighty guests in a single service. It enjoyed excellent business with both locals and tourists, especially during holidays and festive periods, when it offered set menus for large family groups.

Everything needed to reopen the business is included in the asking price, including two fully equipped dining rooms, recently renovated bathrooms, and a fully functional 40 m² kitchen.Built around a large courtyard, the restaurant building also includes seven guest bedrooms, giving it enormous potential if properly marketed as a venue for weddings or other events. An investment will be required to renovate this accommodation structure and make it as attractive as it deserves to be, but if you are able to do so, you could have an exceptional and versatile venue at your disposal.For a complete description of the property please visit our website. Meer weten?
