Linguaglossa, Catania, Sicily, Italy

In the heart of the historic centre of Linguaglossa, a renowned and lively village situated on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, this spacious flat is situated on the first floor of a prestigious period building constructed from lava stone, a refined example of Sicilian architecture spanning the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The property enjoys a central and prime location, on the corner of Via Roma and Via Umberto I, the two main thoroughfares of this small village on Mount Etna, which are lined with shops, including wine bars and renowned restaurants, as well as churches and tourist attractions.

Spanning a single level with a floor area of approximately 215 square metres, plus an attic space accessible from the internal terrace, the flat occupies a portion of the spacious building. The rooms, arranged in succession as is typical of period noble residences, are embellished with refined majolica floors in a variety of patterns and colours, and high vaulted ceilings. Furthermore, the corner location provides the residence with exceptional natural light, whilst the main rooms enjoy views over both streets from delightful balconies.

The flat, which is currently in need of renovation, lends itself to a variety of versatile uses: a high-end residence for the luxury tourist rental market or for an international clientele.

The ground floor comprises the commercial area, consisting of three independent shops with a total floor area of 135 square metres, accessed from Via Roma and featuring shop windows overlooking the side street, Via Umberto I. The property also includes a spacious garage, accessible from the side street, Via del Teatro.
