CASA MADDALENA – SPACIOUS SEA-VIEW HOME IN SICILY'S MOST PICTURESQUE REGION, BETWEEN BEACHES AND MOUNTAINS A three bedroom property with two kitchens, two bathrooms, a huge double living room and small covered terrace, Casa Maddalena is a deceptively roomy family home in the hilltop village of Gratteri. A short drive from the fortified Mediaeval town of Castelbuono, the magnificent beach of Cefalù and the peaks of the Madonie Natural Park, this is a wonderful location in which the authentic, unspoilt Sicily is on full display. A versatile and roomy living space Previously a pair of individual homes sharing a party wall, Casa Maddalena has an unusual layout with twin entrances on parallel streets. The sloping hillside on which Gratteri has grown up means that one of these is a full storey higher than the other, and so the lowest floor is in fact part basement, with windows only on the lower, northern side of the property. At this level you will find a kitchen-diner, a bedroom and an internal bathroom. Upstairs on the true ground floor is the main entrance of the house, which leads you into the other kitchen. This connects to the second bathroom and to the long living room which has been created by combining a pair of similarly sized spaces through a broad connecting arch. From here a window offers a good view of the Tyrrhenian sea, seven kilometres to the north. Views of town, country and sea On the top floor are a pair of bedrooms, each reached by their own discrete staircase. The larger connects to a terrace which has been covered by a fixed awning. There is an abundance of space, the potential for a certain degree of flexibility in the configuration of the home, and some lovely views of the surrounding town and countryside. In the thick of village life All of the amenities needed for day-to-day life can be reached within a few minutes' walk from your front door, including grocery shops, a butcher's, bakery and fishmonger. Fruit and vegetables are sold door-to-door, and a medical centre, dentist's and pharmacy are all within easy reach.

Appartamento Clelia - Catania In 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 SPACE Three-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 CITY The 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 Income The 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

Three-bedroom Property with Ample Space Indoors and Out The two-storey main house is 140m2 in size, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs, and a single open plan space on the ground floor.

The large dining table is a magical place to enjoy meals in the summer. HUGE RUSTIC OUTBUILDING TO RENOVATE To the rear of the main house is a huge 140m2 outbuilding divided into two units, each with a separate entrance. The larger is in better condition, with a fixed oven and an exposed wooden ceiling. Behind this is a stone room that needs to be completely restored before use. The first room, next to the outdoor kitchen, contains an old-fashioned wine press that is included with the sale, as well as all kinds of equipment that can be used to help tend the estate and harvest its fruit. In fact, everything you see in our photos and virtual tour is included - there is even a tractor! Peace and Seclusion with Sensational Hillside Views This 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.

Appartamento Assunta - Porticello With great hillside views and a convenient coastal location, Appartamento Assunta in Porticello is a great offer. Its two bedrooms, a kitchen and large living room as well as a bathroom, storeroom and corridor give you a total of 95m2 of indoor space. SUNNY AND SCENIC The south-facing home has been designed to take full advantage of the sunny location, right at the top of the village and directly next to the first slopes of Monte Catalfano. Each of its four rooms has a French window that opens onto either a balcony or the small covered terrace off the living room. This fills the place with natural light and fresh air, with the position 40 metres above sea level enough to bring in a cooling breeze in the summer. With the opposite lot empty, your view is of the green hillside and Sicily's famous deep blue sky. It's almost the best view we can imagine without losing the convenience of living in a small town. A FRIENDLY FISHING VILLAGE WE'RE PROUD TO ENDORSE Talking of the surrounding community, you'll find Porticello a really welcoming and liveable place. We'll put our cards on the table here: we like it so much that we chose it ourselves – our office is just a five minute walk downhill towards the charming marina and restaurant-filled seafront. Our favourite thing about the neighbourhood is how well it's managed to preserve its relaxed local character. You won't find dramatic numbers of tourists here, and you'd never guess that Sicily's biggest city was just fifteen kilometres away to the west. You can get into Palermo by car, or take the train from nearby Santa Flavia, whose station is just a fifteen minute walk from Appartamento Assunta. Within a similar range are the beach and nature reserve of Sant'Elia, the important archaeological site of Solunto, the exciting rocky coastline of Mongerbino and the Baroque villas of Bagheria. Truly something for everyone. READY TO USE WITH NO FURTHER INVESTMENT REQUIRED The property has been unoccupied for a while, and it will be necessary to manage a little bit of moisture which has accumulated in some corners of the home – but there is absolutely nothing to cause concern on a structural level about this modern and well-maintained home. The windows and shutters are efficient and in good shape; the electricity and plumbing fixtures are recent and certified, and the building's common areas are clean and in good condition. The cul-de-sac on which the apartment is found is enclosed behind a gate, and for additional convenience there is even a 12m2 garage included in the sale price. It would make a lovely second home or base for a new life in the sun. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

It's perfectly presented, with no investment needed. BEAUTIFUL BIG SWIMMING POOL The pool is obviously one of Villa Piera's main attractions.

Casetta nel Bosco - Cefalù In the hills outside the iconic beach town of Cefalù, Casetta nel Bosco offers a buyer who won't shy away from a renovation project the chance to own a sea-view home with a very large garden in a beautiful, quiet spot. RENOVATE OR REBUILD The cottage as it stands consists of a 60m2 main house, with one bedroom, a living room, kitchen, study and bathroom. Alongside this is a 15m2 wooden shed. The foundations of the main building have begun to move, and this has caused instability of the front wall and cracking at the rear. In addition the roof needs to be redone. Bearing this in mind, we see the most cost-effective move in the long term as being a demolition and new build. You would be able to use the existing footprint of both buildings, giving you a larger two-bedroom home. Alternatively you may be able to find a solution to save the existing cottage, which would obviously be cheaper. OVER 1,300M2 OF HILLSIDE WOODLAND Given the condition of the building, the plot and its position are the real attractions here. The large patch of land is naturally beautiful, with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, just over a kilometre away and 300m downhill, through the green canopy of trees and foliage. Standing on a little-used country lane with few close neighbours, you are buying peace and seclusion in a spot which, thanks to the leafy shade and sea breeze, has a very comfortable climate all year round. The famous beach town of Cefalù is reachable in just ten minutes by car, and it lives up to its lofty reputation. The cobbled streets of its Medieval old town lead you past atmospheric piazzas and alleyways before bringing you to the spectacular square on which stands the town's unique Arab-Norman cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the new town, a fabulous two kilometre strip of golden sand offers a spectacular view of the town's unique skyline, with the twin towers of the cathedral in the shadow of the mountainous outcrop known as La Rocca.

Villa Elio - Altavilla Milicia If you don't mind the prospect of a bit of home improvement and want your money to go as far as it can, Villa Elio in the municipality of Altavilla Milicia is a roomy detached home that offers superb potential. THREE BEDROOMS IN A GENEROUSLY-PROPORTIONED AND BRIGHT INTERIOR 120m2 of indoor space is divided between a trio of double bedrooms, a huge living room, kitchen and two bathrooms, all linked by a central hallway. The kitchen and living rooms are especially bright thanks to dual expositions and French windows which connect both to a covered veranda directly outside the home. The bedrooms all have a single window apiece, but all three have enough space to install large wardrobes and all of the other furniture you would need. The pair of bathrooms and extra-large 20,000l water cistern mean that it would be relatively comfortable for up to six people to share the villa at once. COUNTRYSIDE AND SEA VIEWS FROM THE ROOF TERRACE On top of the single storey home, framed by a low wall and accessed by a fixed external staircase, the roof terrace offers beautiful panoramas over the surrounding region. On one side the Gulf of Termini Imerese is in clear view, only a little more than a kilometre away to the north. On the other, steep green hills rise up to become a lovely mountainous nature reserve. The neighbourhood is quietly residential, a little outside the main town and with extra privacy afforded by large gardens, fences and hedgerows. WORK TO BE DONE, BUT STRUCTURALLY SOUND As you will see from our photography and virtual tour, there is certainly some renovation work which will need to be done on Villa Elio to unlock its full potential, but none of this is at a structural level. The biggest job will be to waterproof the flat roof terrace, and you will also want to update the home's electrical wiring for safety and efficiency. Beyond this there are some more cosmetic changes which a buyer might want to consider as a matter of lesser urgency. We take a more thorough look at these in the these in the full listing on our site. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

A Rural Location with Fabulous Nature in all Directions Rodì Milici is a typical Sicilian village, quiet and certainly not touristy, notwithstanding the small complex in which Castello Rosso stands. The nearest beach is just ten minutes away, and if you prefer your nature a bit more high altitude you can reach the slopes of both the Nebrodi Natural Park and Mount Etna in a short drive. Out to sea are the spectacular Aeolian Islands, and the glamour of Taormina is only 30km to the south. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Stefania - Caltanissetta A beautiful nineteenth century palazzo building that has been sensitively restored, Casa Stefania is a working guest house with four completely separate apartments. In the centre of Caltanissetta, it offers a great balance of character and convenience. Three, on the first and second floors, are already rented out to holidaymakers and other visitors, while the final one is beautifully presented as a family home, ideal for you to live in while managing the accommodation downstairs. The first four of the five storeys in the tall terraced property are served by a private elevator. FULLY FURNISHED GUEST APARTMENTS Each of the trio of apartments has a private entrance and provides fully self-contained accommodation for up to four people. A bedroom has either a double bed or twin singles, and the living room has a sofa bed or space to add one. There is a fully equipped kitchen, simple but with everything a guest needs to cater for themselves on a longer visit to the city. Visitors will be able to enjoy fresh air and sunshine from spacious balconies that have been finished in wrought iron, and double-glazed windows and air conditioning units installed in each will guarantee a pleasant stay in any season. These apartments are sold fully furnished with all contents, ready for immediate use. A BEAUTIFUL MASTER RESIDENCE TO LIVE IN The split-level apartment at the top of the building is a fabulously presented three-bedroom living space which is perfectly suited to a young family. The master bedroom is huge, with plenty of light and an en-suite bathroom. Up in the loft on the top floor, another bedroom, also with an en-suite, is currently used as a home office. Three terraces offer panoramic views over the rooftops of the surrounding houses, and catch plenty of sunshine all day long. The living room is also beautifully bright and airy, and the kitchen is modern and inviting. POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER RENOVATION AND EXPANSION Casa Stefania is completed by a little entrance lobby on the ground floor, which really only serves to house the lift. However, a larger space next door could be remodelled and converted into a true reception area. Another apartment is big enough to be divided into two units, and renovating this would bring the total number of guest apartments to five. The seller also owns another three storey building, with 300m2 of internal space, just thirty metres up the street This needs a full makeover, but in recognition of that fact they are inviting offers in the region of just €50,000. So there is almost unlimited potential for expansion of the business. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Cangemi - Termini Imerese A large detached villa just 3km inland at the heart of Sicily's north coast, Casa Cangemi represents amazing value for money on a square metre basis, and a chance to escape to absolute peace and seclusion in the Sicilian countryside. FLEXIBLE SPACE INDOORS AND OUT The villa includes, in the simplest terms, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and kitchen, plus a triple garage and a basement. Outdoors there is a small veranda with a sea view at the front, a large one to the rear, a sea-view balcony in the master bedroom and a compact roof terrace which offers an even better vantage point. An 800m2 garden wraps around the property on all sides, with a small expanse of lawn and large paved areas, one of which is partially covered by a fixed shelter with a tiled roof. The fixtures are in good condition, with a strong roof and tiled floors. You will need to invest a little to renew the external plastering, but this home is ready for immediate use. POTENZIAL FOR FURTHER IMPROVEMENT Although Casa Cangemi is currently occupied and you would absolutely be able to move in as soon as the purchase is complete, it's easy to see how you could make this lovely countryside villa even more special with a relatively modest investment. The greatest potential is found in the semi-underground basement, a huge 60m2 open space with windows on two sides. Currently unfinished, it would make a really fabulous home gym, games room, artistic studio or workshop. BEAUTIFUL NATURAL LOCATION The sandy beaches of Trabia and Campofelice are just a twenty minute drive from Casa Cangemi, while lovers of hiking and trekking can explore the nature reserve of Monte San Calogero, a mountainous region that develops directly to the east of this rural property. You'll find all kinds of flora and fauna on its slopes, including a population of buzzards, peregrine falcons and golden eagles that nest on the upper slopes. To find all this just 40 minutes from the centre of Palermo is really the best of both worlds! FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Plot Luca - Collesano A vast estate on the lower hills of the Madonie Natural Park, just inland from the beaches of Lascari and Campofelice di Roccaella, Plot Luca is prime building land with a sea view. The vendor purchased it with the intention of building an entire holiday village, and is only selling due to a change of circumstances with their business partners. This project could be revived, or you might prefer to keep it for private residential use. ONE PLOT OR THREE The entire estate measures 96,000m2, but the owner is willing to divide it in three equal sized tranches of 32,000m2 each. These are priced between €60,000 and €80,000. The exact details of each of the smaller plots can be found on our website. All of them would have private access without the need to offer right of way across either of the other parcels of land. The clean grassy land is similar throughout and while the lower land is 70m below the top of the property there are still great views throughout. If you would like to keep the land together it would be possible to build a luxury villa of almost unlimited size. The smaller plots will still allow for about 300m2 of indoor space each. SEA VIEWS AND BEACHES NEARBY The foothills of the Madonie Natural Park are impressively green for land in such a hot climate, and you will love the juxtaposition of rolling meadows against the turquoise sea and deep blue sky on a clear sunny day. A fifteen minute drive will bring you to the beaches of Campofelice di Roccaella and Lascari, but the real jewel in the crown is Cefalu, 10 kilometres to the east. Here you'll find a stunning two kilometre stretch of golden sand that leads to a picture-postcard old fishing town. The Medieval history of the community is evident in the cobbled streets and the almost unique Arab-Norman architecture of the UNESCO-protected cathedral. Plot Luca, however, is completely untouched countryside, with hardly a soul for miles in any direction. The distant viaducts of the coastal motorway and rooftops of Campofelice on the horizon at sea level are almost the only evidence of human activity in sight. AUTONOMOUS WATER SUPPLY The land has a network of wells which collect surface water and provide irrigation to the fields. These will need some renewal work, especially if you are planning to build a tourist complex, but the plans to do this have already been created and could be viewed on request.
