Gentle Villa In Sicily

We offer for sale a luxurious noble villa in Sicily, situated in an excellent residential area near the city of Syracuse.
Crossing the entrance gate of the property, one cannot help but be captivated by the view of this splendid independent villa. The gaze is immediately drawn to the backdrop of a large courtyard adorned with ornamental plants and trees, showcasing the charm of bygone times of this residence, which is also distinguished by the uniqueness of its architecture compared to other noble villas in the area. This luxurious villa was built in the late 1800s by an aristocratic Sicilian family to oversee the surrounding land holdings, which once spanned several dozen hectares but have now been reduced to less than one hectare. Among the owners was a naval officer, and this influence can be perceived in the choice of certain details, such as the beautiful outdoor pendant lamps used on ships until the early decades of the last century, which illuminate this villa after dusk. The villa is spread over two levels and features many terraces and a beautiful porch. The ground floor includes a large representative living room ideally divided into a dining area and a spacious lounge, with other functional areas including another living room, a habitable kitchen with an adjoining covered veranda, a study, a bedroom, a small bedroom, and two bathrooms serving this floor, along with a practical and useful storage room. The upper floor, accessed via a beautiful and unique solid wood staircase, consists of three bedrooms, each with a private bathroom with a shower. Almost all the rooms on this floor have external views, featuring multiple balconies and small terraces overlooking a large garden with ornamental plants on one side, the beautiful courtyard on another, and a wooded area with tall trees. Within this property, there is a dependence with a private courtyard and independent entrance, which includes a living area, a habitable kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower. Until after the war, the villa was heated by functional wood-burning fireplaces, but by the end of the last century, radiators powered by a boiler located in a dedicated external room were installed in all areas. A double garage for two cars, a tool room, and an oven room complete the accessory units of the property. There is the possibility of building a large swimming pool and a tennis court. This refined noble residence is ideal for those seeking an independent villa in a beautiful area on the outskirts of the city of Syracuse in Sicily, just a few kilometers from the renowned historic center of Ortigia.
