Sicilian-style villa overlooking the verdant valley

This elegant Sicilian-style villa is immersed in the greenery of the Alcantara Valley, a short distance from the main towns in the area, in a dominant and very panoramic position. The property's entrance gate opens onto the main road and the large outdoor area allows for many cars to be parked and to easily reach the villa on foot along a tree-lined path. Already from the exterior, from the stone walls surrounding the garden and the decorations adorning the façade, it’s possible to admire the timeless beauty of this architecture, whose origins date back to the 15th century. The villa is mainly distributed on one level, with the addition of an attic floor and the old cellar of approximately 120 sqm, carved into the rock and skilfully converted into a residential space. Here it’s possible to admire the beautiful stone vaults and enjoy the large terrace with porch, from which one can admire an open view of the green surroundings and the valley. The main floor comprises a large flat with a bright living room opening onto the terrace surrounding the property, a kitchen, a bedroom and two bathrooms. An internal staircase leads to the attic floor that houses two further flats, which also have a second independent access from the garden. The property is full of idyllic corners perfect for relaxation that also provide a lot of privacy, despite the roadside location. A path along the garden leads to the most private area of the property, the swimming pool area with a large solarium, surrounded by pale stone walls and lush greenery. The exposure is excellent, with sunshine from dawn to early afternoon. The property also includes a large workshop area with independent access and land of approximately 2,200 sqm, distributed on narrow terraces cultivated with aromatic plants, lemons and fruit trees. The villa, given its privileged position and size, lends itself to multiple uses both as a private residence and as a holiday home or B&B.
