Villa De Luxe En Sicile

We offer for sale a luxury villa with a swimming pool in Sicily, located in a residential area of other prestigious villas. This luxury villa was originally the residence of a noble family and was built in the 19th century, later expanded, showcasing architectural elements influenced by both periods, transitioning from the sober and refined mix of Baroque and Rococo to the more classic and angular Liberty details of the early 20th century. The villa’s main facade features a bilateral stone staircase supported by semi-circular stone arches, a distinctive element leading to the noble floor, which is characterized by two terraced balconies on the two smaller but equally important facades, adorned with decorative stone elements of exquisite craftsmanship. The interior of the villa boasts spacious rooms on the ground floor with evident characteristics of representative spaces, highlighted by a robust stone arch covered in plaster, a detail that should be restored to its original exposed stone; the ceilings, featuring plaster finishing elements, have been lowered in a more recent era. Additionally, the ground floor includes a winter garden, now a reception hall, and a side pavilion that serves as a large kitchen, along with a sizable bathroom. A beautiful internal staircase in solid wood, covered with precious ceramics, leads to what was once the aforementioned noble floor, which no longer retains its period characteristics as the villa has been adapted for two decades as a hospitality structure and is currently a luxury resort; on this floor, there are five bedrooms with bathrooms and a service area. Two of the bedrooms have a small terrace, and one enjoys a sea view, while the other rooms overlook the beautiful garden and serve as vantage points to admire other prestigious villas. The property encompasses over 18,000 square meters of land, including a large outdoor parking area for over fifty cars, a vast garden with ornamental plants, and a large swimming pool equipped with an extensive sunbathing area. Additionally, there is an area reserved for the dependence, which features six independent rooms with bathrooms, equipped with every comfort and technical rooms. The garden includes many relaxation areas with walking paths or spots to comfortably sit on a bench, dedicating oneself to reading surrounded by fragrant plants and flowers, including marigolds, Sicilian jasmine, and lavender. This luxury villa is compliant with urban planning regulations, with water and electrical systems up to standard, and is available for sale as a private residence or as a hospitality structure, including furnishings, accessories, and equipment, with certifiable income. The island of Ortigia, the historic center of Syracuse, can be reached in just a few minutes by car, and the famous beach areas of Sicily, such as Fontane Bianche, and Catania’s Fontanarossa Airport, are just 40 minutes away by car.
