The property is arranged on four levels and requires complete refurbishment. It is located a short distance from the beach and close to the popular tourist destination of Taormina.

On the ground floor garden side is the cellar, with an old stone oven.

At the back of the property, a terraced slope of land of about 100 m2 is included in the sale. The property would make a beautiful, authentically Sicilian home once renovated.

The small village of Itala Superiore, surrounded by Mount Scuderi, is a village of 1600 inhabitants that is rich in history - there have been periods of rule by the Greeks, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards and Bourbons who have left significant traces on the territory. This can be witnessed by the presence of some churches between this, the Arab-Norman Abbey of San Pietro and Paolo and being located a few minutes away from the village of Itala Marina, famous for its beaches and its 2 km long coastline. Itala Marina is a popular destination for tourists for the beautiful sea, for the numerous parties organized by the Municipality throughout the year and for its proximity to the village of Ali, famous for its sulphurous thermal baths with important healing properties.  There are several farmhouses, wine cellars and a center of organic beekeeping in the area.
