Casa Pinuccia - Gratteri With sea views and timeless charm, Casa Pinuccia would be perfect for a buyer who wants the thrill of restoring an old home in Sicily. THREE-STOREY HOME WITH BEDROOM,LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN Casa Pinuccia's layout is simple, with a 15m2 living room on the ground floor, a bedroom of the same size on the first floor and a kitchen and dining room on the second. Tucked away under the first staircase is a ground floor bathroom with a miniature tub and shower attachment. The living room opens straight onto the street through double doors which also let plenty of light into the cosy space. The first floor bedroom has the bonus of a sea-view balcony, and the dining room upstairs has the same. The room is only a little smaller than those below, despite the presence of the kitchen. We would actually love to see this floor opened up and turned into a single kitchen-diner. Doing this you could even put in a sofa and a c...

MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OF THE SEA AND MOUNTAINS The steep terrain and the height of this terraced palazzo building combine to offer unobstructed sea views from the second and third floors.

At the moment, the top floor kitchen only has a small window facing north towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, but we think that even a mid-budget renovation project would be able to create a terrace on this level that would give you a bird's eye view of an enormous swathe of northern Sicily. To the rear, Casa Matteo has a view of the surrounding village from the upper floors, which is as charming as the front is dramatic and mem...
Casa Lapi - Gratteri Lost in the atmospheric cobbled streets of the ancient hilltop village of Gratteri, Casa Lapi is a rough gem that is available for an incredible price. A corner property on three storeys, it has an unusual floor plan which branches out like a tree on the top floor. In need of some attention, it is nonetheless habitable as it is, and the renovations will not need to be exhaustive. Rather, a little modernisation and some decoration to reflect the historic context, and you will have a beautifully positioned holiday home near the Sicilian north coast. Cosy accommodation in a charming corner of town The ground floor is mostly taken up by an entrance hall which doubles as a utility room. A large old sink sits underneath the electric boiler which provides hot water to the adjacent bathroom. This contains a miniature tub with a shower attachment. On the first floor is a small bedroom, with a window overlooking the nar...
