ONE BEDROOM HOLIDAY PROPERTY FOR SALE IN ERICE, SICILY

Standing just a few metres from one of Sicily's most beautiful sea-view panoramas, nestled in a hilltop Medieval village that is home to its most famous sunsets, Casa Giovanna is the perfect place to flee the rat race and retreat to the leisurely pace of life that seems to come from a simpler time.

CHARACTER IN EVERY STONE

This two storey, terraced house dates back many centuries, as can immediately be seen from its exposed stone walls. Renovated to the highest standards by a prominent local architect in the recent past, it is in superb condition and needs no work doing.

In the recent past it has been a popular accommodation choice on Airbnb, and if you're not planning to live here all year, it would guarantee a steady return on your investment while other business keeps you away. We're sure that after a few visits to this idyllic corner of Sicily you'll find yourself fighting to get those absences down to an absolute minimum!

EFFICIENT AND ELEGANT DIVISION OF SPACE

The ground floor holds a roomy, high-ceilinged living room with dining and lounge areas. There is a neat kitchen with larder and utility room. Upstairs, a square landing connects the open staircase with a beautifully-finished bathroom and a roomy bedroom with mezzanine alcove. The total internal area is around 60m2.

COURTYARDS TO THE FRONT AND REAR

Outside, Casa Giovanna enjoys sole access to a private courtyard, a characterful space framed by stone walls with beautiful alcoves and windows. Overlooked exclusively by this property, it is the ultimate escape from the outside world, in the open air.

The house also benefits from the shared use of another, larger, courtyard to its front. Whilst this is theoretically communal to three buildings, one of the others is a municipal property which has been unused for twenty years, while the last is the second home of a lady who visits for only a few days a year. In reality, the purchaser will have almost exclusive use of this and could easily furnish it for outdoor dining.
