Sicily, Palermo, Trabia, Italy

Ref. Villa Salina - Trabia - Spacious and meticulously designed, Villa Salina is a three-bedroom detached home located just outside Trabia, in the province of Palermo. Just 800 meters as the crow flies from the nearest beach, you can enjoy sea views from the sunny terraces, the best of which spans the entire flat roof of this single-story property.


THREE BEDROOMS AND SOME FANTASTIC FAMILY SPACES

The floor plan is typically Sicilian, with one end of the house used during the day and the other at night. The former includes a large entryway and a very spacious kitchen-dining room, where you can enjoy the sun streaming in through the large south-facing window. The three bedrooms can all accommodate two people, although one of them is currently used as a study.

The veranda was once an open porch that has been enclosed on three sides. This has created a fabulous space to use year-round, with the windows open in summer and closed to retain heat during Sicily’s short winters.


JUST A FEW STEPS FROM THE BEACH

Although the area is very rural—and you certainly won’t feel as close to your neighbors as you would in the more densely populated residences and complexes closer to the beach—the road to the sea is only 1.4 km away. If that seems too far on a hot day, you can cover the distance in just a few minutes by bike or car.

The property is also strategically located near Sicily’s main highway, which connects Palermo in the east with Messina in the west. The location is truly ideal for a buyer wishing to explore all that Sicily has to offer, with no part of the island more than a three-hour drive away.


IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR YEAR-ROUND USE

The property is extremely energy-efficient, with solar panels on the roof to generate electricity and heat water, and recently installed windows to insulate the interior. The south-facing windows and the veranda are perfect for enjoying the warmth of the sun even on a winter day, and, as a final touch of comfort, all rooms feature gas radiators.

In the summer, you’ll appreciate the air conditioners throughout the house and the shade provided by the trees in the garden and the awnings in front of the veranda and on the roof. Plus, of course, you can cool off with a dip in the crystal-clear water whenever you feel like it!
