Sicily, Trapani, Erice, Italy

Ref. Project Tangi - Valderice - Overlooking the Egadi Islands from the hills outside Trapani, Rudere Tangi is an old farmhouse ready to be rebuilt as a luxury villa with a pool. The vendor designed the villa for themselves, but has had to pass the project on.

Build your own Luxury Villa outside Trapani

The vendor's design sets much of a three-bedroom villa of almost 250m2 into the hillside, beneath a long, low farmhouse rebuilt in traditional style. Two sunken courtyards link a lounge, master suite and large terrace on the ground floor with an open-plan lounge, dining space and kitchen, two bedrooms and a pool terrace below.

Erice and the temple at Segesta are both within half an hour, and the beaches of San Vito lo Capo within the hour. This is Sicily at its most authentic: in nearby Dattilo, people drive out from Palermo for the Euro Bar's cannoli, filled to order with fresh sheep's ricotta. Trapani's airport is about 35 minutes away and Palermo's around an hour.

Nearly 9,000m2 of Countryside Rolling Down Towards the Egadi Islands

The land falls gently away to the west, so the sun sets over the sea, and four centuries-old olive trees stand beside the old farmhouse. Wheat and fodder have always grown here, and there is room to plant vines or an orchard. Materials reclaimed from the farmhouse can be reused to give the villa real character.

From First Permit to Finished Villa
