Description

Ref. Villa Marina - Sant'Alfio - Offering a completely unique set of views, Villa Marina, just west of the village of Sant'Alfio in the province of Catania, is an almost mystic spot, connected to all of the elements.


WATER AND FIRE
Nearly 700m above sea level, the detached villa is just seven kilometres inland, meaning that it enjoys an unobstructed view of the Ionian Sea over the resort town of Taormina. On a clear day you can even see the Italian mainland, 50km away across the Straits of Messina. The front garden is a perfectly manicured spot from which to enjoy this view

The back garden, by contrast, is wild and a little rugged. Planted with 30 mature oak trees, it seems almost fantastic on a cloudy day. Beyond it, the natural park of Mount Etna begins almost immediately, meaning that at night you will have an unmatched view of the eruptions and lava flows.


AIR AND EARTH
The mountain air is invigorating, and the only sounds you'll hear in this remote location are the birds and the rustle of the tall trees of your front garden in the sea breeze. The villa is an historic old stone structure, with the thick walls of the original construction on full display. They're hewn from a dark, local stone that once came from the volcano itself.

The property has been completely renovated in the past two years, with a new roof, a fabulous outdoor kitchen and a total overhaul of the open-plan, barn-style interior. You'll love the brightness that comes in through the large windows, especially in the morning when the early sun shines straight into this east-facing home.


SOLD FULLY FURNISHED, IN PERFECT CONDITION
Aside from the open plan living space, with areas for cooking, relaxing and eating, there is a cosy double bedroom with ample cupboard space, and a home office built up on a mezzanine floor. The bathroom is compact but stylish, with a cubicle shower, and a laundry room has been built in a little outbuilding behind the property.

Villa Marina is sold as seen, with all fixtures and fittings included for the most convenient possible move to Sicily. Don't miss the chance to find out more about this magical home and its unique 360° views.

About Property in Sicily, Cefalu

PROPERTY IN SICILY is an international Real Estate Agency with family-run values.

Based in Palermo in Sicily, we work exclusively in this region and with international buyers. We speak six languages – including English, obviously – but our roots are firmly in our community here.

We have also been in your shoes. Half of our team arrived in Sicily as ex-pats, and we learnt through experience that when you buy a property overseas you need complete trust in the people you're dealing with. It's important not to have middle-men, to speak to someone who's seen the property you're buying with their own eyes. Every property in our portfolio has been selected by us, based on decades of industry experience and learning the needs of overseas buyers.

We are accredited members of the FIAIP (the Italian Federation of Estate Agents) and registered realtors at the Italian Chamber of Commerce. This makes us privileged to be able to represent both you and the local vendors. Doing so in a way that is impartial and honest is more than an aim for us – it's a founding principle, the reason we got into this business. We are also members of the ADDIOPIZZO anti-mafia organisation.

We are accredited by UK-based AIPP (Association of International Property Professionals) and by US-based NAR (National Association of Realtors).

Our pre-sale services include everything from property scouting and reports to representing clients who need a trusted local representative when dealing with other agencies. After you have completed we will be delighted to help you manage building projects and renovations, the logistics of moving to Sicily, running holiday lettings... even learning the language!

Property in Sicily is big enough to take on any project, but small enough to care. We can't wait to help make your Sicilian dream a reality.
