Description

Ref. Casa nido - Porticello - Tucked into a quiet square just steps from the harbour, Casa Nido is a cosy studio apartment in the fishing village of Porticello.

Originally a storage room, this raised ground-floor apartment has been converted into a compact 24m² home, with a glazed front door that brings natural light in. Stairs lead up to a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed, framed by a second arch in the old Sicilian style.

Ornate ironwork of a kind usually found above grand palazzo doorways has been repurposed as a window through this archway, keeping the sleeping area secure while still letting air flow freely. Downstairs, peach-coloured walls and a simple kitchen with gas hobs, a fridge and a washing machine complete a practical, good-looking interior. There are even two small bathrooms, one on each level.

Five Minutes from Everything

Step outside and the sea is barely 150 metres away, with the village's newly relandscaped seafront park, Piano Stenditore, just two minutes on foot and a sandy beach close by. The harbour's fish stalls, a handful of restaurants and a local bakery cover daily life, and parking is easier to come by here than in most Sicilian harbour villages.

A little further along the coast, the old fishing hamlet of Sant'Elia has a pretty cove of its own, while the archaeological park of Solunto and the nature reserve of Monte Catalfano rise above the village. The Baroque town of Bagheria is a short drive inland, the train station is about ten minutes on foot, and from there Palermo is half an hour away and the airport about 45 minutes by car.

A Canvas to Make Your Own

Priced to reflect its size and its potential, Casa Nido is one of the most affordable ways to gain a foothold in the Sicilian property market, without any need to renovate or invest further. We see potential in simplifying the layout by removing one of the two bathrooms, and the downstairs could use some decorative touches. It is, however, ready for immediate use.

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.
