Appartamento Peter - Casteldaccia Offering a magnificent view of the Gulf of Termini Imerese from its seventh-floor terrace, Appartamento Peter is a three-bedroom family apartment just 400m from Sicily's north coast. 100M2 OF INDOOR SPACE, PLUS BALCONY AND 20M2 TERRACE The roomy home is split into seven rooms on either side of a central corridor, but there are relatively few architectural limitations on opening up some of the space into larger and more versatile living areas if you'd like to make things a bit more open and fluid. Two bathrooms (one with a shower and the other with a tub) are just right for the three bedrooms, and as things stand you'll get a separate kitchen, dining room and living room as well as a utility room. The balcony on the south side is wide and sunny. It's well-finished in terracotta tile and a smart railing, and is home to the gas boiler that powers the (rare, for Sicily) central heating system. The terrace to the north is on another level, however. With a peerless sea view its 20m2 of space are more than enough for outdoor cooking and dining. It will certainly be a focal point of your home life all year round. ONLY NEEDS REDECORATION AND COSMETIC TOUCH-UPS The apartment is in need of a paint job and some minor tweaks, as detailed in our full listing (see below). It is, however, in very fair shape overall, with no humidity issues or cracks to be found indoors. Some weathering on the concrete pillars outside will be the responsibility of the residents' association. The electrical and plumbing systems work well and aren't in need of any immediate investment, and the kitchen has been built to last in the characteristic Sicilian style. PERFECT LOCATION FOR CITY AND SEA Casteldaccia is home to about 10,000 people, but is fantastically positioned to give you the best of everything Sicily has to offer. The nearest beach is only a kilometre away, and you'll find warm, clear water with a gentle entry and calm seas thanks to sea defences. The town, a short walk to the south, has all of the shops and services you'll need for day-to-day life. A train station just five minutes away will bring you to central Palermo in twenty minutes and to Cefalù in only a little over half an hour. If you prefer to drive, the E90 motorway is on your doorstep and you can reach almost any of the island's major landmarks in a couple of hours by car.

Casa Maria - Porticello On the outskirts of the picturesque fishing town of Porticello, ten kilometres east of Palermo, Casa Maria is a family home on the lower floor of a two-property villa. It's star appeal comes from the 200m2 roof terrace, of which it has exclusive use. 135M2 OF BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED INDOOR SPACE Casa Maria is divided into a 30m2 reception room, two bedrooms, a spacious kitchen-diner, a more formal dining room and two bathrooms. One of these is for family use, the other is en-suite to the master bathroom, and both have showers. The kitchen is a lovely big room, with all the floor space necessary to fit a dining table and chairs, and a walk-in larder. The bedrooms are also very comfortably sized, 16m2 and 19m2 respectively The apartment is in great condition, good as new with no investment needed. Decoration is simple but uniform, with marble floors and wooden doors and trim throughout. The matching fixtures in the primary kitchen and bathrooms are included in the asking price. With would think about using the dining room as a third bedroom, or perhaps a comfortable lounge with a sofa bed to give you extra flexibility. HUGE OPEN ROOF TERRACE WITH A PARTIAL SEA VIEW The main attraction is on the roof, accessed by a communal staircase but not shared with anyone else. Up here you'll find all the sunshine and fresh air you could ever need, and a wooden pergola offers shade over what is currently an outdoor kitchen. The units won't remain in place, but the wooden structure is fully certified and built to last. Connections for water, gas, electricity, drainage and even a dishwasher mean that you could very easily enclose this a bit more and give yourself a beautiful south-facing family room with cooking facilities and even a bathroom. The view from the south-eastern corner is particularly good, with the waters of the Gulf of Castellammare visible 500m away in the middle distance. WONDERFUL LOCATION FOR BEACH, COUNTRYSIDE AND CITY If you like the idea of living in small town Sicily but don't want to give up on all the opportunities and infrastructure that a big city has to offer, Porticello is a marvellous spot. The state road that runs close by the property will take you into the outskirts of Palermo in twenty minutes, and you'll find a huge shopping centre, medical facilities and all kinds of larger stores. If you're heading into the centre you can save yourself the stress of hunting for a parking space by taking the train from Santa Flavia station, only five minutes from your front door on foot. This can also take you to the eastern Sicilian city of Messina, the stunning beach of Cefalù or the airport on the other side of Palermo. On days when you want to take it easy, the nearest beach is only ten minutes away. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Appartamento Giusi - Termini Imerese In the friendly market town of Termini Imerese, just half an hour from Cefalù and Palermo, Appartamento Giusi is a cosy little studio on the second floor of a corner terrace townhouse with a lovely sea-view balcony. A COMPLETE RENOVATION AND FULL FURNISHING The apartment is being fully renovated, and will be delivered with all of the work finished. You can expect a floor in Portuguese marble and windows in original wood with double glazing. The fitted kitchen will include an oven, induction hob and fridge freezer decorated with a backsplash in local majolica tiling. Everything is well lit thanks to the French windows that lead you out onto that lovely sea-view balcony. The bedroom area will have a 140cm bed and a high quality mattress to guarantee you a comfortable night's sleep. The bathroom will include a box shower as well as a washing machine, plus the usual suite of ceramics. A small washroom will link this to the main body of the apartment, and from here you will also be able to access a storeroom at the far end of the building, under a flight of stairs. OFFERED FOR SALE SUBJECT TO PRE-CONTRACT The vendor is seeking a buyer who is prepared to make a deposit in order to finish the renovation work. The great advantage of this is that while you will still receive an apartment that is in pristine condition, you will avoid all of the hard work and frustrations that can come with renovating your own property. This is especially advantageous if you're buying in Sicily for the first time - we love our island but the pace at which things get done can take a bit of getting used to! So we see the pre-sale agreement as a really big point in favour of Appartamento Giusi. A PRACTICAL LOCATION MOMENTS FROM THE SEA Termini is a very traditional Sicilian town and although it has an abundance of history, it is in no way spoilt by tourism. The nearby ruins of the ancient spa town of Imera are a short drive away, and the castle and medieval village of Caccamo can be reached in 20 minutes. Beach lovers will be amazed by how easy it is to reach Cefalù by road or rail, with the Termini Imerese station only ten minutes walk from Appartamento Giusi. This can also bring you right into the heart of Sicily's intoxicating cultural and commercial capital, Palermo. With the sun-drenched sands of the Tyrrhenian coast on one side of you and the green hills of the Madonie Natural Park on the other, this is a stellar spot to give yourself a base in Sicily at such a tempting price.

Casa Viola - Gratteri A 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 FLOORS The 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 WELCOMING The 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 DIRECTIONS Gratteri 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

Casa Maurizio - Gratteri A two-bedroom home on three storeys, Casa Maurizio in the idyllic Madonie Park village of Gratteri is available at an enticing price. 80MQ OF BEAUTIFULLY MAXIMISED LIVING SPACE The floor plan of Casa Maurizio is a simple one, with a versatile living room on the ground floor and two bedrooms above. You'll find a bathroom with a shower on both the ground and top levels, and there is also a handy loft space above the stairwell off the second bedroom. The second floor also offers a small balcony, from which you can enjoy views over the nearby rooftops to the green hills and rocky mountains of the Madonie. We found the ground floor especially welcoming, with the single space having been laid out to accommodate a cosy lounge area, a dining table and a Sicilian-style built-in kitchen. This is simple but effective, with a gas hob, sink, marble worktop and fridge freezer. The food preparation area is especially well-lit, with natural light from a street-view window. Beautiful Renovation Work on Show and Behind the Scenes The property was entirely renovated by the current owners, both structurally and cosmetically, and the work is top class. Hidden away out of sight are the insulation on the wooden roof and the flue system which carries heat from the open fireplace on the ground floor up throughout the entire house. The fascia has been completely refreshed, with modern wooden windows and external shutters. Perhaps our favourite element of the work is in the interior design choices, though. The living room is a mix of warm yellow plaster and exposed stone, balancing historic charm with sunny tones. Above your head the original wooden timbers of the ceiling are perfectly showcases, and underfoot a dark ceramic tile perfectly picks up on those natural shades. The stairs and first floor bedroom have a charming local tile pattern. A NATURAL PARK STEEPED IN TRADITION AND FILLED WITH DAZZLING VIEWS The village of Gratteri is home to around a thousand people, of which over twenty families have bought their homes through our agency. We are always delighted to recommend the charming hilltop hamlet for its panoramic views and welcoming locals. It's found about 700m above sea level, and convenient for exploring the whole of the Madonie Park. Within twenty minutes you can be down at sea level, on the beaches of the island's north coast which include the unforgettable seafront of Cefalù, only a 25 minute drive away.

Casa Rosa Maria - Scillato With a large garden, tranquil village backdrop and a location on the edge of one of Sicily's largest natural parks, Casa Rosa Maria is the ideal spot to get away from it all and reconnect with the simple things in life. SPACIOUS AND WELL LAID OUT The property comprises a detached villa with a partial stone construction, which recent renovation work has wisely chosen to showcase, and a garden which stretches over 5,000m2. This acre-plus of land includes an orchard full of citrus trees and an olive grove. Both are kept in excellent condition by an excellent irrigation system. In the immediate vicinity of the house is a smart patio enclosed by a deep box hedge. There is a permanent barbecue and an abundance of space for outdoor dining. What was once a bungalow was turned into a two-storey home by the renovation work, which included a very well-executed loft conversion. We're big fans of the way that the wood of the roof has been kept on display, and mirrored by a nicely laid floor. Two bedrooms at this level join the two downstairs, although one of these is currently used as a study. A large living room with an open fireplace, a kitchen with a utility room and a bathroom on each floor complete the internal layout. A LOCATION WITH THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS If you want to live or holiday in a timeless Sicilian village without sacrificing the convenience of being able to get into the island's big cities, Scillato is probably the single best recommendation we could give you. The sandy beaches of the north coast are right on your doorstep, with Buonfornello and Campofelice only twenty minutes away and Cefalù half an hour. The stunning wilderness of the Madonie Natural Park opens up directly to the east, and Palermo, Catania and Agrigento are all less than a 90 minute drive away. The village itself, although a small community of about 600 residents, has everything you might need on a day-to-day basis, including a convenience store, bar, pub and pizzeria. IN GREAT CONDITION AND READY TO USE As well as the location and the spacious gardens, we can highly recommend this attractive country cottage for the excellent condition in which it is presented. Other than some cosmetic touch-ups and perhaps a bit of recommendation if you choose, there is no work to do on Casa Rosa Maria, which could certainly be inhabited from the very moment of sale.

Villa Tiziana - Casteldaccia An oasis of calm fifteen miles outside Palermo, Villa Tiziana is an elegant six-bedroom home with sea views and a shady garden. A PHENOMENAL LOCATION, ALMOST AT THE WATER'S EDGE One kilometre east of Casteldaccia in the province of Palermo, between the state road and motorway that follow Sicily's north coast and the shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a little stretch of residential development follows the sandy beaches. This is a quiet neighbourhood characterised by large villas organised along private cul-de-sacs, and midway along one of these we find Villa Tiziana. The street is gated, with the maintenance costs of the private road shared by a small number of residents. In return they enjoy private access to a lovely little sandy bay, which is otherwise reachable only by sea. From the northern corner of the semi-detached property to the water's edge is not even 100m as the crow flies – you will be able to hear and smell the salt water from every outdoor space of your huge Sicilian beach house. A HUGE, VERSATILE VILLA SLEEPING A DOZEN IN COMFORT The three storeys of this semi-detached villa are efficiently divided, with a minimum of passageways and hallways and an emphasis on community. Everything indoors begins from the 45m2 living room-cum-diner; a focal point for family life that connects to the gardens, the kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms. Upstairs a sunny landing leads you to three more double bedrooms, each of which opens directly onto the deep open terrace. From here you can take an external staircase up to the flat roof, from where you can enjoy a fantastic 360 degree panorama that takes in lush green hills, pristine white homes and sparkling turquoise sea, all under the vast blue canopy of the Sicilian sky. Underground, a basement offers storage space across the full size of the building; over 60m2 which could in the future become a home gym, family room or even a studio apartment. FURNISHED AND HABITABLE: NO FURTHER INVESTIMENT NEEDED The vendors have only made Villa Tiziana their summer home, meaning that despite being nearly half a century old it has aged very well. A pair of the bedrooms downstairs are recent additions, and one of the upper ones has been renovated with a new floor and a lovely feature wall. Any renovation work would be purely a question of personal taste, priorities or aesthetics. The windows are single-glazed but beautifully made in solid wood. The bathrooms are original from the 1980s, but still work with no issue. The outdoor kitchen could be refreshed but the stone ovens are there forever. The basement would need work to be used as a living space, but does the job of a large storeroom perfectly. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Villa delle Palme - Partinico A 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 SPACE The 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 POOL Even 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 HOME The 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 AIRPORT The 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

Casa D'Anna - Campofelice Almost directly on the coast just a few kilometres from one of Sicily's best-loved beach towns, Casa d'Anna is a four-bedroom family villa surrounded by greenery and fresh sea air. AMPLE AND IMPRESSIVE INDOOR SPACES The floor plan of the extra large 228m2 villa is built around an open plan living room and diner which curves around to include the elegant open staircase, and opens though double doors into a lounge. Offering over 50m2 of space for eating, entertaining and relaxing, it's a beautiful sunny room with twin French windows and one that makes a superb first impression. From here you can pass directly into the fully fitted kitchen, itself large enough for a breakfast table and with a paved veranda outside for al fresco mealtimes. Upstairs, four double bedrooms guarantee that you will never have problems accommodating family or visitors. All four of these enjoy direct access onto one of the house's upper balconies, including a long one running the entire east side of the building. This connects the three largest bedrooms, and offers a great view over the quiet green neighbourhood. From one end you can even see the sea. The fourth bedroom has a private balcony. Two bathrooms, two storerooms and an outbuilding complete the villa. GARDENS TO CONNECT YOU TO A BEAUTIFUL GREEN REGION The gardens which wrap right around Casa d'Anna are green and welcoming, planted with a grassy lawn and a wide variety of trees. In total the plot measures 500m2. This also includes several expanses of open patio, a terracotta pathway around the building and off-street parking for three or four cars. The green hills of the Madonie Natural Park are clearly visible on the horizon. Closer to home, the neighbourhood, which grew up around the historic castle of Roccella along the Gulf of Termini Imerese, is filled with similar properties, and you will find the neighbours very respectful and private. The beach is only three hundred metres up the road, and the refreshing sea breeze keeps the property cool indoors and out, even at the height of the Sicilian summer. ALL OF SICILY ON YOUR DOORSTEP As well as Cefalù, just a fifteen minute drive east, Casa d'Anna is perfectly positioned as a base from which to explore the whole island. The enthralling city of Palermo is only forty minutes away, the hills of the Madonie unfold inland, and you can reach almost everywhere on Sicily in under two hours, including the temples of Agrigento, the salt flats of Trapani and the port cities of Messina and Catania in the shadow of Mount Etna on the east coast. It's an unbeatable location for a quiet family home with untold adventures right around the corner. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Tenute La Rocca - Collesano Three kilometres south of Collesano in the Madonie Natural Park, Tenuta La Rocca is a huge country estate with a guest house, agricultural buildings, a house to restore and a fully functional restaurant. A WORKING RESTAURANT WITH OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATION In the past, Tenuta La Rocca was a popular out-of-town restaurant, with a pair of dining rooms capable of holding over eighty guests in a single service. It did good trade with locals and tourists alike, especially on festivals and feast days when it would provide set menus to large family groups, and had review scores over 4.5/5 on both Google and Tripadvisor. Everything you need to reopen the business is included in the asking price, including two fully equipped dining rooms, recently renovated bathrooms and a 40m2 working kitchen. Built around a spacious courtyard, the restaurant building also features seven guest bedrooms, which give it enormous potential if well marketed as a venue for weddings or other events. Some investment will be needed on the renovation of this accommodation to make it the irresistible prospect it deserves to be, but if you're able to do this you could have a sensational and versatile venue on your hands. ELEVEN HECTARES OF PEACEFUL LAND The estate is a vast plot on the north-western side of one of the intermediate hills in the beautiful Madonie Natural Park. This gives you great views of the mountains above you and the sea below, visible on the horizon beyond the town of Campofelice di Roccella. The estate is not currently farmed, but a pair of enormous barns give you more than enough room to keep livestock (one of these was previously a stable building) and store crops (the other was a hayloft). With over 27 acres of land at your disposal you won't be short of space, whatever type of activity you have in mind. A RUINED COTTAGE TO RENOVATE Towards the higher end of the estate is the ruin of a 100m2 house, which would be a perfect renovation project. It would eventually give you and your family the chance to live on-site with the comfort of being several hundred metres away from the restaurant and accommodation. A lot of work will be needed, but in the end your investment would be rewarded with a home built completely to your own specifications and some lovely sea views.

Appartamento Porto - Palermo A modern studio flat on the eighth floor of a Palermo block, Appartamento Porto would make a very convenient base in the city. A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE STUDIO WITH A GREAT BALCONY The apartment measures 30m2, and over 25m2 of this is given to a single open-plan living space. The majority is a rectangular area with space for sleeping, work and relaxation. At the far end is a bathroom with a tub and shower attachment, and a kitchenette. Along the long side of the space, a balcony follows the southern wall for the entire length of the flat. Two windows look out onto this, and a double French window gives you direct access. It's just a few centimetres too low to offer a sea view to someone of average height, but if you're very tall you may catch a glimpse of the water! SOLD TURNKEY, READY FOR IMMEDIATE OCCUPATION The apartment is furnished and, although you may well want to update some of the contents, it is ready to be used straight away. There is a double bed, sofa, desk and two wardrobes. The windows are modern and efficient, with dark roller blinds to help you get a good night's sleep. The kitchenette is fitted with cupboards, a sink and a worktop. There's a washing machine and fridge. The vendor has previously made use of an electric hotplate and free-standing mini oven for cooking needs. The bathroom has a lightly patterned tile on the walls and floor, as well as the usual ceramics. AN EASY-TO-NAVIGATE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF A FASCINATING CITY The neighbourhood, unlike some of Palermo's more historic districts, is quiet and residential, although some of the units on the lower floors of the building are given to office space and other commercial uses. You will find a supermarket very close at hand, as well as many other shops, restaurants and bars. The city centre is a walkable 20-30 minutes away. Public transport links are good, with plenty of buses and a train station five minutes' walk from the front of the building. The port and the ferry terminal are especially convenient, and the airport can be reached by car in half an hour. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

Casa Morreale - Cefalù A one-bedroom home a stone's throw away from a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Casa Morreale is a perfect vacation property. A SENSATIONAL LOCATION AT THE HEART OF AN ICONIC BEACH TOWN Every morning, as the sun rises over the timeless historic centre of Cefalù on Sicily's beautiful Tyrrhenian coast, the gentle tolling of the town's cathedral bells soundtracks the locals as they amble down to the bars on Piazza Duomo. Just metres behind this enchanting little corner of Golden-era Italy is a tight cluster of houses far out of the reach of motor vehicles, linked by staircases and steep cobbled footpaths. It's here that you will find Casa Morreale, a step back in time to an era where news travelled out loud from balcony to balcony, and the scent of your neighbour's cooking wafted into your home on the gentle sea breeze. It's only a five minute amble downhill to the sea, there are all manner of shops and restaurants on your doorstep and the footpath up to the best viewpoint beneath the summit of the famous Rocca mountain is right at the top of your street. RECENTLY RENOVATED AND FULLY FURNISHED: NO FURTHER INVESTMENT NEEDED The two-storey property dates back as far as it's thick stone walls can remember, but a recent makeover has created a thoroughly modern and comfortable interior that is simple but smart. The asking price includes all furnishings as shown in our virtual tour – a benefit which, apart from anything else, will save a tremendous amount of hard work carrying large pieces of furniture around those narrow pedestrianised alleyways! On the ground floor is a living room with a fitted kitchenette, featuring an electric hob, fridge and sink. The comfortable sofa bed opposite the TV set allows the apartment to sleep four people in comfort, as do the twin bathrooms, one of which is found on each floor. Both have been fitted with modern showers fed from electric boilers. Upstairs, the bedroom is spacious and comfortable, and best of all gives you just a sneak peek of a sea view from its inviting balcony. A small basement holds a utility room with a washing machine. A SURE BET FOR RENTAL INCOME Cefalù is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Sicily, a convenient train ride from Palermo Airport and a magnet for visitors from Italy and the wider world. You will find that it's possible to earn as much as five or six thousand euros a month in high season from a holiday home which is as modern, well-presented and central as Casa Morreale. We would be delighted to offer the benefit of our experience as property managers and consultants in the hospitality sector to the eventual buyer – unless of course you fall so firmly in love with the charming cottage that you can't bear to share it at all!

Casa Aldo - Castellana Sicula A three-bedroom property on three floors, the rural Casa Aldo is roomy, in good overall shape and fantastic value for money. THE FEELING OF BEING COMPLETELY IMMERSED IN NATURE Built a few hundred metres outside the small village of Castellana Sicula, Casa Aldo is close enough that you can choose to walk into town, but the surrounding thicket of pine and eucalyptus trees makes you feel half lost in nature. The views from the second floor windows and the marvellous open terrace outside the first floor living room are amazing, with a vantage point over the tops of those trees to the rooftops of Castellana. However, at ground level you feel surrounded by Mediterranean woodland, the scent of the trees and the gentle chorus of cicadas acting as a kind of sensory firewall from the cares of the modern world. This is a spot in which you can lose yourself in your thoughts, your work or the company of your family and friends. STURDILY BUILT AND SPACIOUS Casa Aldo is in fact half of what used to be a giant farmhouse, a testament to the region's once-dominant agricultural sector. Although it has now been turned into a twin pair of semi-detached homes, you'll still find more than enough space for even a large family to holiday in the summer, or in which to host guests all year round. The ground floor has a trio or large rooms with vaulted ceilings, once the stables of the villa and now a cool reception space that will make a great first impression. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom. The first floor follows a similar plan, with a landing that flows into a living room and then a dining room. There is also a kitchen, another bedroom and another bathroom. The top floor has two large bedrooms and a bathroom. INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL TO MODERNISE AND EVEN EXPAND The property is in good overall condition, but some investment will be needed to repair a small damp issue. The infiltration can be eliminated by cutting back some large pine trees whose needles have clogged the gutters, but you will have to make good some damage. Aside from this, you might want to spend some money modernising the bathrooms and kitchen, but there is no urgent need to begin any renovation work. We think it would make a sensational summer base for the entire family, and there is even the possibility of buying the adjoining home and some of the surrounding land.
