Messina, Messina, Sicily, Italy

In the lively coastal setting of Rodia, one of the best-known seaside resorts on the Tyrrhenian coast of Messina, lies a comfortable detached villa spread over several levels, designed for a family seeking spacious and practical living areas. Just a short walk from the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, it is also ideal as an investment property to generate rental income during the summer season. The property boasts a harmonious and efficient internal layout, designed to clearly separate the living area from the sleeping area, and to provide spacious, well-equipped outdoor areas - key features during the summer season.

A convenient driveway leads to the garden and then straight to the covered parking area inside the garage. The main entrance to the house opens onto a spacious hallway leading to a large, light-filled living room, perfect for entertaining guests and enjoying relaxing moments with the family. The floor is completed by a practical kitchen and a guest bathroom. An internal staircase leads to the sleeping area, comprising three spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. The attic floor, featuring a delightful little panoramic terrace with a splendid sea view, comprises a single large open-plan space currently used for occasional storage, but offering great potential to be customised to suit your needs (for example, as a study, fitness area, hobby room, etc.). The interior spaces are further enhanced by a spacious basement room, accessible both via an internal staircase and through the garden, ideal as a lounge, wine cellar or playroom for the little ones.

But the real highlight of this property is the extensive outdoor areas surrounding it, designed as a natural extension of the living space to celebrate the essence of Mediterranean living, where the interior spaces blend harmoniously with nature and outdoor living. An elegant terrace, shaded by a pergola, provides shelter from the summer sun and creates the ideal setting for a large outdoor living area, perfect for breakfasts with a view, family lunches and summer evenings.

The surrounding greenery also lends itself to being transformed into a lush Mediterranean garden, enriched with local citrus trees, olive trees and colourful bougainvillea, or into a splendid barbecue area.
