Metres from the sea on Sicily's east coast, Appartamento Marianna is a one-bedroom apartment that has just undergone a full renovation. Sold fully furnished and ready for immediate use, it's a wonderfully convenient way to get yourself on the Sicilian property ladder.

A Beautiful Natural Location Surrounded by the Sea
The port town of Augusta has grown up around what first seems to be a peninsula but is actually an island connected to the mainland with a short bridge, much like Ortigia half an hour to the south. Augusta may not have quite the historical charm of that tourist landmark, but it's nonetheless a scenic spot – especially on the eastern side, which is mostly rocky beach. You'll even find a small sandy bay at the southern tip, only a six minute walk from Appartamento Marianna.

The ground floor flat doesn't have a direct sea view, but you need only step out of the front door and cross the road to enjoy a great vantage point to take in the water of the town's marina. Travelling a few kilometre up the coast brings you to beautiful bathing spots like Brucoli and Agnone Bagni.

80M2 OF EFFECIENTLY USED SPACE AND A COMPACT LITTLE TERRACE
The ground floor apartment has a direct entrance from the street, and this brings you into a small entrance hall. From here you pass into a lounge, then a corridor leads you to past the bathroom to the kitchen-diner and finally the bedroom. Two internal courtyards bring natural light to every room of the apartment, and the first of these serves as a little terrace that can only be accessed from your apartment.

Everything has been freshly re-done, including the pristine ceramic tile floor, the newly installed kitchen and all of the furnishings. Best of all, everything you see in our photos and video is included with the sale.

BIG POTENTIAL FOR RENTAL INCOME
In the summer months, apartments of this kind of size change hands on here and Airbnb for around €800 a week, and even allowing for fees and maintenance expenses that could go a long way to paying off the property's modest asking price in just a few years. We love Sicily in the summer, but it's also fabulous in May and September-November. You could visit then, beat the crowds and still clear €10,000 a year from the time you're not there in person.
