Sicily, Palermo, Cefalù, Italy

Ref. Casa Aldo - Cefalù - Steps from Cefalù's UNESCO-listed cathedral, Casa Aldo is a characterful old town home with around 95m2 of space. This is divided between the furnished and immediately usable apartment upstairs and a storeroom underneath.

At the Heart of Romantic Cefalù
Cefalù has a magic that lingers long in the memory of anyone who visits. Cobbled Medieval lanes, a golden beach and an Arab-Norman cathedral beneath the great rock of La Rocca. Despite its fame, it has kept its authentic Sicilian character, and many families have lived in the same streets for generations.

Casa Aldo is right in the middle of it all. The cathedral square is just a few steps away and the Mandralisca Museum is a few doors along. At the bottom of the road is the old town beach seen in the Oscar-winning film Cinema Paradiso.

Cosy, Ready-to-use First-Floor Apartment
A shared staircase leads to the apartment, where you enter a cosy kitchen with local printed tiles behind the sink. The bathroom has a box shower, and the living room opens beneath a lovely vaulted ceiling, with a wooden bookshelf set into a stone-framed recess.

Upstairs, a mezzanine area furnished with a single bed leads to an upper level registered as attic space, currently furnished with a double bed. The windows mainly face quiet courtyards. Furnished and already in use, the apartment would also make an appealing holiday let.

Atmospheric Stone-Arched Storeroom
Directly below, a 40m2 storeroom with its own entrance is framed by ancient stone arches and currently furnished with a sitting area, kitchen, sleeping area and small bathroom. It remains registered for storage use. Limited openings and natural light may prevent residential conversion, so this should not be assumed. A possible internal staircase and associated technical paperwork are estimated at around €15,000, subject to feasibility and the relevant permissions; a connection would not automatically change the storeroom's permitted use.

A full refurbishment of both units is estimated at around €65,000. The property's volume and internal layout have been reviewed with independent technical professionals and are consistent with the available documentation. Casa Aldo would suit a buyer seeking a romantic pied-à-terre in a prestigious location, with scope to enhance its historic features and comfort.
