Property Scicli : 6 properties for sale

We are in the historic centre of Scicli, a Unesco heritage site, where the baroque domes of the cathedral rise up amidst medieval columns and porticoes. Among oleanders, olive trees and flowers, the scent of the bakery 50 metres away wakes us up in the morning. Here the speciality is the so-called 'Testa di Turco', a puff pastry at least twice the size of the average, crumbling into a thousand crisp, delicate layers of puff pastry that conceal a good dose of cream with a citrus aftertaste. This is the aura of the property presented below, which is located in a portion of an old building and is ideal for the creation of a reality in which, in addition to the scent of the bakery, one breathes the air of modernity, baroque and minimalism. One can think of a holiday home for oneself or for others, for guests or for income, but also of a first home. Why not? Because after all, the location, the main factor in any property, also has the upper hand here, but all the other features should not be overlooked either. It should be thought of as a sort of terraced house, well renovated, with parts in which, for example, old bricks and an old edicolette stand out from the stucco on purpose, other interesting details such as the medieval arch in the living area, all valuable architectural elements and details. Of course, while the house has everything plus a few special elements, it lacks the finishing touch to give it its own personality. As an idea, here we could think about how to exploit the contrast between ancient stone and stucco, installing light wood shelves, decorating with some succulent or tropical plants, a nice monstera for example, perhaps putting some lights as we see done in certain modern chic places where uncovered light bulbs are very much in vogue, the element of aluminium in black tint, thus working on the balance of colours in the house. Let us imagine it in the centre of Scicli, either as our own or as a B&B: a living area with a nice sofa, the kitchen with a small counter, and the bathroom/laundry. On the first floor the bedroom, the second bathroom with a shower cubicle, and finally the loft with an exposed roof to be used according to one's own style. Certainly the potential is there, they are at an affordable price, and they are located in the very centre of Scicli, where there is a splendid portion of a building that just needs your personal touch.

Scicli, Calamarieri district, set on the navigator, and now let's enjoy this trip on a beautiful May afternoon. I landed at three o'clock at the airport and after a short stop at the hotel I rented an old yellow convertible beetle. A book on the seat, sunglasses, scarf on the head and off to the south coast of the island. The landscape is enchanting, slightly lively, it is an alternation of cultivated and uncultivated land. About fifty kilometers separate me from the goal, but I do not want to lose a minute of this experience of pure freedom. I take a look at the clock to check the date, yes we are still in 2022. Here, among dry stone walls, prickly pears and olive trees, I seem to have made a leap into the past, it seems to be in a place where the time dictated by the clock has given way to life and nature, and is marked by it. The mobile phone invites me to turn right and not without emotion my visit begins. The dirt driveway is surrounded by dry stone walls behind which some fruit plants are cultivated. There are plots of land at this time uncultivated for about 25,000 meters, there are fruit plants and olive trees and I already imagine it as a large green garden in which to spend my time; the walls widen and I can park in a square. To my right the main structure is on two levels, a ground floor overlooking the square and a mezzanine floor. There is a main body currently divided into a kitchen, a living room with fireplace and two rooms from one of which you can access the mezzanine. A series of similar constructions from one or two rooms, with different heights that make the view more lively and pleasant, are attached to the main one; they were old warehouses, stables and ancillary rooms. On the opposite side we find the garage with bathroom and warehouse and a rustic. This farmhouse needs to relive its ancient splendor, keeping alive its original spirit with exposed stones and if it were possible also the wattle of the roof which is a real show. The spaces must be reviewed and rethought but the potential is already visible even to an inexperienced eye. Now I get back in the car, the setting sun reminded me that you can not have arrived in Sicily without having yet dived into the wonderful sea. Today I will go to the quiet tower of the financier and we will meet again when you invite me to the garden at the inauguration of this jewel that you have secured.

Among the baroque columns of the historic center of Scicli, oleanders bloom and the Mediterranean breeze caresses the countryside of Genovese, since time immemorial renowned for their fertility and wealth. Ideal both as a first and second home, from the Jungi area it is convenient to move both by car and on foot or by bicycle. It's a spring Sunday, the sky is blue like we've never seen it before. We prepare a picnic, get out of the house with the family and get in the car. We turn the key, we feel the engine turn on and we ask ourselves: what do we let ourselves be surprised by today? In less than ten minutes we are within reach of everything we need: whether it is the sea, a supermarket, the wonders of the historic center of Scicli - everything is at your fingertips. So what are we waiting for to dive into the water, to learn which were the peoples who lived these lands for millennia? Once there, what prevents us from spending our days at the beach, in the countryside? An aperitif in front of the cathedral of Scicli? See the sun set behind the Gulf? The apartment is located on the first floor of a multi-family condominium, whose building is configured on six levels. The internal stairs lead to the entrance, which in turn leads to a corridor, which naturally connects the rooms of the building, surrounded by a balcony that runs along the external sides of the building. We therefore have: a kitchen, which leads to the terrace; two bedrooms, one single and one double, also equipped with large French windows with access to the balcony; a living room, in turn equipped with a small corridor in which there is currently a small study. To this must be added a laundry room and a garage, which complete the property.

Have you ever read "The Secret Garden"? I love the moment Mary discovers the wooden door and the wonderful place behind it. Today we will give you a similar experience. In Scicli, the most beautiful and photographed building is the Beneventano palace. On one side of this beautiful building, a door leads us into our secret garden and just like in the story time and nature have tried to take back their space. Inside this courtyard, we imagine around the fifties, a small independent house was built and now it could become your splendid home. Stand in front of the front door and close your eyes, because this property must be seen with the heart and good taste. On the ground floor you can imagine how your large living area will be transformed. The ideal would be to find an antique door, in raw wood simply cleaned and cared for in which to access a large kitchen with rope shades typical of the buildings in the center of Scicli, the living area furnished in Boho chic style with a large white corner sofa. On this floor we find the first of the two bathrooms of the house with small ancient Sicilian tiles. An important role must be reserved for the redevelopment of the square that can maintain a part of the ancient cobblestones and the remaining a splendid garden with lamps in the driveway and spotlights that highlight the ancient door and the stone wall. I would highlight the internal staircase that leads to the upper floor with a stone wall facing sight practicing vertical openings to pass natural light through them. The sleeping area must be revised so that the master bedroom has the exit on the terrace between the roof tiles. Here we can place a Jacuzzi in which to spend intimate moments protected by a wisteria pergola, while the bed takes the coolness from the balcony to which we will have revived the ancient glories. The second bathroom and a second bedroom or study will complete the floor. But this is what I "saw" by closing my eyes, and you? How fantastic did you decide to transform this pearl? I can't wait to come back to see what you've accomplished.

How much I love coming to Scicli! Turning through its streets it seems to be in a film set, with its narrow streets paved with pavements, the houses with ecru colors that run along the streets in a succession of high and low volumes, punctuated by windows with different openings, and from the exits from which the darkness and the internal coolness come out. The jars alternate small green oases of prickly pears or small palm trees, while the balconies with iron parapets full of fragrant flowers overlook curious passers-by. In this true paradise today we take you to the historic center, between "L' osteria al ponte" and the splendid "Hotel Novecento" and we will accompany you in an authentic jewel where history and modern architecture blend perfectly. A small corner building with the ancient stables for horses that the skilled hand of the local workers has transformed into cozy residences and the three different entrances lead us into equally different types of apartments. On the main façade, the large arched door, which in ancient times gave access to the stables, introduces us to the first apartment. On the ground floor, an open-space living area in which stands out a wall of ancient exposed stones, houses the living room, the kitchen and the bathroom cheerfully covered in white and blue to recall the colors of the sea. We look up in the direction of the roof, we immediately notice the iron parapet that delimits the mezzanine. We reach it by climbing the open staircase and are greeted by a large bedroom with a wonderful wooden plank floor. We now visit the second apartment, which we access from the second door. This is the smallest of the three houses, a classic two-room apartment with living room, kitchenette, the double bedroom and the bathroom with shower with bright green. Let's move now to the side of the building, two ancient stone steps, a small door and here we are beyond the threshold of the third and largest of the apartments. A single ramp staircase, with grit steps and bordered on one side by a spectacular stone wall, leads us to the first floor. We are welcomed by a modern and well-kept environment where every detail is studied in aesthetics and livability. The living area with kitchen block, table and two large armchairs and the double bedroom with private bathroom in romantic shades of red. The room overlooks a small balcony from where you can observe the beauties of the center. We now reach the second and last floor, a real suite with exposed roof, double bedroom, living room / wardrobe, private bathroom and panoramic terrace. Large modular spaces, with the possibility at any time and with absolute simplicity, to merge all or part of the apartments obtaining larger and different housing solutions depending on the projects and needs, in order to be a single home or for several families, a space for holidays or for the whole year or an excellent solution to be put to income.
