Description
Fortress Bruno is an ancient fortress of the Noto Valley immersed in the wild Mediterranean vegetation, typical of the Iblean countryside. The buildings are divided in 2 blocks by a huge central patio, so-called patio grande of circa 4,500 sq. m paved with typical flagstones. The central part of the fortress called Maschio stands on different levels for a total of 750 sq. m; adjacent to this structure there is a second building of 600 sq. m on 2 floors which has been restored together with the Maschio. The remaining part of the first block consists of ruins of approximately 1,500 sq. m on a single floor which can be restored on 2 levels and reach the total surface of approximately 3,000 sq. m. The Maschio, together with the second adjacent building and the units to be restored, develops around the so-called patio piccolo, an internal courtyard paved in original stone and perfectly maintained. The Maschio boasts a large terrace on the first floor overlooking both the patio piccolo and the patio grande and a larger roof terrace which offers a breath-taking panoramic view of the surrounding countryside up to the sea. The property sits in 20 hectares of land of which 4 hectares are planted with an olive grove. The fortress also boasts 2 water wells of which the main one is used for agricultural use and the other one for residential use; a 90 kw cabin regularised 8 years ago and a GPL distribution system to serve all the property. It is an ancient watchtower dating back to the Arab nomination, located only 10 km away from the sea and 6 km from the highway, in Rosolini.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Italy will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £88,760 more.
