Capo d`Orlando, Messina, Sicily, Italy

Set in a scenic, elevated position with a stunning sea view, this charming rural villa is entirely clad in stone and features a clean, elegant design that blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural landscape.
The property is enclosed by a traditional stone wall and is accessible via both a pedestrian gate and a driveway gate, the latter allowing vehicle access to a spacious tool shed with a large opening for convenience.
The villa is arranged over two levels. On the ground floor, the entrance opens into a bright and welcoming living room enhanced by a fireplace. This level also includes a double bedroom, a windowed bathroom, and a stylish kitchen-diner finished with blue and white ceramic tiles and an elegant lava stone countertop. The ground floor is surrounded by a panoramic balcony and a terrace with breathtaking sea views, while additional tiled outdoor spaces are located at the rear.
The lower level, accessible via two external staircases on either side of the house as well as an internal staircase featuring wrought-iron railings and traditional Sicilian tile detailing, includes two bathrooms and five spacious accessory rooms-ideal for creating additional bedrooms, a study, gym, or hobby spaces. Adjacent to this level is the tool shed, offering practical storage and utility.
The property is set within over one hectare of private land, part of which is cultivated as a productive olive grove.
The home is equipped with an underfloor heating and cooling system, ensuring optimal comfort year-round. Domestic hot water is supplied by two solar thermal panels, contributing to substantial energy efficiency and cost savings.
Attention to quality is evident in the choice of windows and doors. The arched openings are fitted with double-glazed, thermally broken frames and PVC shutters, offering excellent thermal and acoustic insulation while maintaining a refined aesthetic that complements the home's architectural character.
Outdoors, the expansive garden that surrounds the villa is equipped with an irrigation system, making green space maintenance both easy and efficient.
