Plot Cinzia - Collesano Expansive and unspoilt, the huge hillside estate that is Plot Cinzia is a dream for the kind of buyer who is at peace with nature and doesn't back away from a challenge. While the old cottage that currently stands on the southern edge of the plot will need to be rebuilt from scratch, the raw beauty of this Sicilian country land is bursting with possibility. A BIRD'S EYE VIEW ON THE COAST The estate spreads over some 20 acres (80,000m2) of countryside on the western edge of the Madonie Natural Park, a few kilometres north of the picturesque little village of Collesano. The land slopes down towards the bottom of a valley which feeds into the Tyrrhenian Sea at the coastal town of Campofelice di Roccaella. The majority of the estate is woodland, home to a diverse range of trees and wildlife. The emptier pastures open up on the lower slopes to give a fabulous view of the sea in the middle distance, 8 kilometres away and about 400m downhill. The two existing buildings on the land are 100m2 and 40m2 respectively. You could work off this footprint, but the size of the pot means that the option would be available to create a much larger villa, complete with a guest house and swimming pool. HAVEN OF BIODIVERSITY You will find the soil fertile, with olive oil produced from trees in this region considered to be of particularly high quality. There are over a hundred olive trees on the plot at present, and one could easily imagine a buyer adding many more. You will also find a wide variety of trees and bushes, many of which bear fruit and nuts of all varieties. The land is home to numerous species of bird as well as hares, lizards and small mammals. There is already a well on the land, and you would certainly be able to achieve true sustainability and energy independence if you were to invest in solar panels to power and heat your new home. LESWS THAN HALF AN HOUR TO THE BEACH While the drive into Collesano is no more than six or seven minutes, you will also find it very easy to reach the towns at sea level. Both Campofelice and Lascari have lovely stretches of coastline, and the famous resort of Cefalù is only a 35 minute drive. Palermo and its international airport can be reached in an hour.

Villa Emanuela - Trabia Spacious 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 SPACES The 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 BEACH Although 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 USE The 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

Casa Butera - Bagheria A perfect little apartment for a buyer who needs a base in Bagheria without breaking the bank, Casa Butera is compact and convenient without sacrificing comfort. Presented in perfect condition, its turnkey sale and location just six minutes' walk from the train station make it a very attractive proposition at this price. Modern, Bright and Perfectly Presented The one-bedroom apartment has recently been refurbished and is presented exactly as seen, with all fittings and even furniture. You won't need to invest a cent beyond the purchase price. The kitchen is modern and user-friendly, with a large efficient oven and a jumbo-sized fridge freezer. In the bathroom a box shower is fitted, along with two sinks, a WC and bidet. There is even a washing machine already installed. The living area is an open-play space combining kitchen, dining area and lounge. The latter, at the front of the property, is especially bright and sunny, in front of a large French window that opens onto a broad balcony. This also serves the bedroom, which gets morning sunshine thanks to the property's easterly orientation. Quiet but Well-Connected The location on Corso Butera is ideal for those who want the energy of a town-centre location with the convenience of not being in the midst of the narrow streets of a Sicilian Old Town. The Corso is wide and tree-lined at this point, and we are slightly outside the oldest and most congested part of Bagheria, where finding parking can be a challenge. However, you can be in the very centre of the town in ten minutes on foot. The train station is even closer, just 600m away, and regular trains bring you into the heart of Palermo in under twenty minutes. The gorgeous seafront of Aspra is just two and a half kilometres away, and walkable on a nice day. In the other direction, to the east, the equally charming fishing towns of Porticello and Solanto are within just three or four kilometres. Investment in the Rental Market The apartment has been operated with success as a holiday home in recent years, and managed by our sister company. This makes it a great option as an investment purchase – you could opt to continue that arrangement and relax in the knowledge that your new asset is generating income with no additional workload.

Appartamenti Martina & Silvia - Bagheria The Silva Apartment is located on the top floor of a modern condominium on the outskirts of Bagheria. The seller also offers an attic with an additional bathroom above the apartment, with an asking price of €30,000. Offers to purchase both units together will be considered. 100 m2, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms The apartment has a large living-dining room as its main space, which opens onto a huge 15 m2 balcony. On one side is the spacious kitchen, on the other a small corridor leading to the three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have access to the balcony. One, like the kitchen, has French windows onto the main balcony, shared with the living room.

Connected to the city and the sea Although Bagheria has a rich historical past, having grown mainly around a group of splendid 18th- and 19th-century villas that served as summer retreats for the Palermo nobility, today it is largely a commuter town, and as such, its transport links are well above the Sicilian average. Buses, trains, and the highway will take you to the center of Palermo in twenty minutes. The station is a 15-minute walk from the apartment. The city center is also within easy reach, while the beaches of Aspra, Porticello, Mongerbino, and the rest of the scenic Capo Zafferano peninsula are a short drive or bike ride away.

Appartamento Anya - Mongerbino Although just a twenty minute drive from the centre of Palermo, Appartamento Anya couldn't be less of a city property. Close enough to the sea that you can hear it's soundtrack from the huge sunny balcony, it's a family-sized flat that makes the perfect base from which to explore the sea, city and countryside. Great Location Moments from the Water's Edge The condominium in which Anya is found is built on a promontory, the little bulb of land directly underneath the park of Monte Catalfano. This means that the water is just 150m away on three sides, while on the fourth is the dramatic cliff face of the little mountain. Right around the corner is the famous 'Arco Azzurro', a rock arch that extends over the sea which will be immediately recognisable to an entire generation of Italians, thanks to its role as backdrop to a famous advert for the Baci Perugina chocolate brand. Elsewhere along the headland, the rocky coast is filled with charming rocky coves and beautiful sandy bays. And with the bright lights of Palermo clearly visible across the Gulf, you know you're never far from the action of Sicily's biggest city. Spacious Three-bedroom Interior The roomy apartment is divided into three double bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen-diner and a bathroom, plus a storeroom and a couple of little hallways. In total there is more than a hundred square metres of living space. The nicest spot of all is perhaps outside the apartment, as the 25 metre-long balcony wraps around the western sides of the building. Perfect for enjoying the region's famous sunsets. And with more than enough space for a table and chairs out there you can even take the opportunity to eat al fresco in the comfort of your own home. Potential for Leasing as a Holiday Home The great seaside location and six-person sleeping capacity mean that any time you're not able to make the most of your new place in the sun, it won't be hard to find someone who will. Thanks to the close collaboration we have with our sister company, vacation leasing agency Solemar Sicilia, we can even manage the property for you in your absence.

Casa Luciano - Forza D'Agrò Nearly 400m above sea level but less than a kilometre from the nearest beach as the crow flies, Casa Luciano commands phenomenal views of Sicily's eastern coast as it runs south to the famous resort of Taormina. Restore a Home in the Sun The three storey property is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen-cum-sun room and a snug living room on the ground floor which is heated by a fireplace. There is character in spades, with one unique feature the fact that the home has literally been built into the rock face against which it stands. In one of the showers, and behind the sink in the kitchen, the back wall is literally just exposed bare rock. Some work will be needed to make the most of the charming home, including replacement windows and bathroom fixtures. However, the raw beauty of this historic property, not to mention the amazing views from those upper terraces, guarantees a handsome return on your effort and investment. A Place in Cinema History Just seven kilometres north of the luxurious holiday landmark, the picture-postcard village of Forza d'Agrò is an attraction in its own right, having featured in the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather trilogy. It's easy to see why the lovely hilltop community was chosen to evoke the Sicily of a hundred years ago... it's everything you imagine from a traditional hamlet on the island, from the narrow cobbled streets to the terracotta-tiled rooftops. The population declined dramatically over the past fifty years, but the international market has seen it start to recover in recent years, with overseas investment helping to restore a gentle bustle of activity to the alleyways and tiny piazzas of the town. Great Potential as an Income Generator Needless to say, the village's proximity to the sights of Taormina and its connection to the world of cinema mean that there is plenty of potential to recoup much of your outlay in periods where you can't use the home in person. In peak season a well presented two-bedroom property in Forza d'Agrò can command up to a thousand Euros a week. Take a look through our full listing and our information-packed website to find out how we can help you manage your new purchase even after the contract has been exchanged.

One highlight is an advanced water filtration system which allows Tenuta Pia to use collected rainfall, stored in two vast reservoirs on the property. A Natural Haven for the Independent Soul The position is wonderfully isolated, offering total privacy and peace, just five kilometres inland from the Mediterranean coast of south Sicily, near Gela in the province of Caltanissetta. History buffs will love the proximity to the temples of Agrigento and the UNESCO-protected Baroque towns of the Val De Noto. If the idea of living a completely self-sufficient life appeals to you, you'll love the solar-powered boiler, the vast rainwater collection reservoirs and the chance to make a living from the production of olive oil and the space to grow fruit and vegetables or to raise livestock. That's beside the ample prospect of generating income from tourism. If you have an independent, entrepreneurial spirit then visit our site to see a full presentation of Tenuta Pia.

Appartamento Bitta - Bagheria Compact but practical, and with a great old town location, Appartamento Bitta is a one-bedroom, ground floor flat in the heart of Bagheria. With all of the attractions of the town within easy walking distance, and the beaches of the Capo Zafferano peninsula just a stone's throw away, this is a great opportunity to get yourself a holiday home in Sicily without leaving the area of Palermo. Smartly Designed and Well Presented With about 50m2 of internal space made to feel deceptively spacious by high ceilings and a minimalist design, the apartment is divided into four spaces: kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. There is also some storage in a little loft. The bedroom is the biggest of the four, with plenty of space for a double bed and other furniture. The exposed wooden beams on the ceiling lend a nice rustic touch. The living room and kitchen are neat and functional, and the bathroom contains a box shower. A Lively and Traditional Community Bagheria is a socially active town of about 25,000 people, which buzzes with activity all year round. The community boasts not one but two Michelin-starred restaurants, and some excellent options for traditional Sicilian cuisine. The small villages which surround the town to the north, around the edge of the peninsula, are havens for great fresh seafood. The centre of Palermo can be reached in a matter of twenty minutes by train, bus or car. The Sicilian capital has expanded in recent years, but there is still a strip of green belt before you get to Bagheria, which allows the market town to retain a distinctive sense of its own identity. Hassle-free and Affordable There is no need to spend anything on Appartamento Bitta, it is in good condition and ready to be used right away. As a budget option to serve as a base for holidays in Sicily which is convenient all year round, and not just in the high season, it is a great option for the price point, and unlikely to stay on the market for long.

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

Twenty first century Palermo is a vibrant and modernising city with a beautiful new marina, a superb range of public parks and a good bar or restaurant on every corner.

Relax and Catch the Sun Outdoors As a final bonus, residents will have private access a shared outdoor space. The clubhouse level garden will be on the ground floor, with wooden decking and spaces to eat, meet and work. The upper floors will rise above the surrounding buildings, offering superb panoramic views of the centre of Palermo and the surrounding countryside.

A WELCOMING AND INTERNATIONAL TOWN If you've been following our agency for any amount of time you'll no doubt have noticed how much we love to promote Collesano before. But you might not have heard much about it anywhere else - the small town in the Madonie Natural Park is only home to 4,000 residents. So why do we love it so much? The secret is the growing international community. With citizens of over a dozen different countries having purchased recently in Collesano, you're guaranteed to meet some like-minded people who can help you adapt to Sicilian life, even if you don't speak the language. And with the Madonie hills at your back and fabulous Cefalù a short drive away at sea level, there really is everything you need at your fingertips!

Plot Alessandro - Lascari Four kilometres inland from Sicily's beautiful north coast, Plot Alessandro is a 4.5 hectare plot of agricultural hillside land around 300m above sea level. With panoramic views to the north and west, over the sparkling turquoise Gulf of Termini Imerese and the green surrounding landscape of the western Madonie Park, this is a haven of natural beauty. The peace and quiet on offer in this remote spot is remarkable, considering the nearest sandy beach is just a ten minute drive away and the ever popular beach town of Cefalù is just ten minutes further afield. Build Your Own Home at Tremendous Value The ruin of an old house stands on a terrace in the middle of the land. While this will need to be demolished, the size of the plot gives you permission to build a huge villa of up to 450m2, or a more modestly-sized one on two or three floors. It is possible to develop very cheaply in this region, and the potential is there to own a vast and luxurious property for a tiny fraction of what you would need to pay in the centre or north of Italy. Even the location being on the far side of a hill from Cefalù means that you are getting excellent value for money, given how short the drive is down to the ancient fishing town's cobbled Norman centre and pristine sandy beachfront. Rich Natural Beauty The estate lies on very fertile soil, and this is reflected in the presence of a grove of fifty young olive trees, all of which bear fruit on an annual basis. You should be able to produce about three hundred litres of top grade oil from the harvest, and can either press it yourself on site or visit one of the presses in the area to enjoy the literal and metaphorical fruits of your labour. Also dotted across the slopes of Plot Alessandro are all kinds of fruit tree, including fig, lemon, orange, persimmon, pomegranate and apricot. The few hundred metres of elevation means that the hillside catches a lovely fresh sea breeze, which makes it a beautiful spot in the humid Sicilian summer. Project Management Expertise in Your Language If you are interested in the challenge of building your own home in Sicily but intimidated by the pressures of working in another culture and language, you may be very interested in our project management services. We can be at your side right up to the moment you welcome your first guests over the threshold. Take a look at our website for full details.

It is sold fully furnished, with all contents as seen. ...and one to renovate Casa Calderaro is a similar size and shape to Casa Vasi, and also has that wonderful valley-view balcony. There the similarities end, however, as this house has been completely stripped of all plaster, partitions and utilities. With the exception of a few floor tiles which you might choose to reuse it's a blank canvas. The windows on the long side of the space have a lovely hillside view, better in fact than the other apartment has to offer. The roof seems to be well maintained too. And there is the same basement underneath the main living area. However, a significant investment of time and capital will be needed to turn this back into a modern living space.

The apartment is a three minute walk from the seafront, where you'll find some unbeatable fish restaurants, and also within walking distance of a supermarket, bars and a pharmacy.

Villa Valentina - Casteldaccia Beautifully refurbished just two years ago, Villa Valentina is in absolutely perfect condition, inside and out. From the beautifully finished, custom-made kitchen to the walk-in closets, the warm sun lounges to the sea-view terraces outdoors, there is a wealth of great design and natural beauty to be found in every corner of this lovely property Convenient for the City but Complete Peace and Quiet The 1980s-built, villa is found in the district of Casteldaccia, just 15km east of Palermo. All the advantages of proximity to Sicily's primary city (and best-connected airport) are readily available, with great dining, world class music, all manner of shops and a glistening new marina on your doorstep. However, the road on which the detached home has been built is extremely quiet and peaceful, well outside the centre of Casteldaccia and with uninterrupted views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and some impressively green surrounding countryside. 180m2 of Indoor Space The villa is built on two storeys, with a trio of well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the guest rooms has direct access to the long, sunny balcony, while the master connects to a gloriously sunny home office space. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen-cum-living room is a real highlight of the home. Around 50m2 n total, the well-lit space is divided in two by a kitchen island and connects to a cosy living room and an eye-catching staircase. Al Fresco Dining with a Sea View Outside, the long garden is divided into six levels as the plot makes its way downhill towards the sea. The prime spot is on the top terrace, to the rear of the house, where a fantastic outdoor kitchen is just begging to be used throughout the long hot Sicilian summers.

Bauland Plot Oliveto - Collesano Collesano This plot is 22,000 m2 in size, slightly hilly and faces north - the sea - and is perhaps 2 km from Campofelice as the crow flies. The main feature of this property is the beautifully tended olive trees, which number around 450 and are very productive. A power line runs past the property, so that only a well needs to be drilled, as there is no water connection. Alternatively, a pipe could be laid from the nearest water pipe across the neighbors' plots. The access road is currently somewhat precarious, as the shortest connection to the north has become difficult to pass due to a storm. Before selling, we need to clarify with the neighbors whether these 50 m could perhaps be repaired through a joint investment. This would only cost a few 100 € each, the price asked by the owners is in the region of around 100,000 €, which is in this area. If you build your dream house on this plot, you can realize over 200 m2 of living space, of course the house can also be smaller. Other families, including some Germans, have already built their homes on similarly sized neighboring plots. Surroundings The welcoming and versatile town of Collesano was initially a Moorish fortress on Monte d'Oro, the so-called Gold Hill, before it was renamed Golisanum. Conquered by the Norman Count Roger in the 13th century, it became the center of a large feudal lordship with strong military protection and economic interests that stretched from the sea to the heart of the Madonie. Today's Collesano stretches almost as far as the sea and borders the coastal towns of Campofelice di Roccella and Lascari to the north. To the east, it touches another of our most popular real estate tips in the region, Gratteri. The town, with a population of around four thousand, caught our eye when we noticed a recent boom in international buyers in the town, who have formed a very welcoming and active community. Not that the local way of life is in any way under threat, as many of Collesano's residents are descended from families who have made their home in the town for centuries. The old mystery plays “la Cercha” and “la Casazza” are still performed to celebrate Holy Week, and the festivals around the “Chiesa Madre” bring the town to life. More recently, the town has made a name for itself as a center for beautiful handmade ceramics and has entered motorsport folklore as the venue for the legendary Targa Florio, the world's first rally of its kind. The small village's hairpin bend was a precursor to the famous bend in Monte Carlo - and perhaps even the inspiration for it. All the stores, bars and restaurants you and your guests need for a relaxed day out can be found just a few minutes' walk from your stunning front door. This is the most historic and beautiful part of the city. On the northern edge of the city, the architecture becomes a little more modern, but the view of the sea is truly unforgettable. The nearest sandy beach is only 20 minutes away, and the famous golden sandy beach of Cefalù can be reached in just a little more time. Sicily's main city, Palermo, is only an hour to the west, and if you prefer to take the train, you can catch a train at sea level in Campofelice.
