Why I Selected It
Not every buyer needs a large restoration project.
One of the reasons I selected this property is that it offers an approachable way to own a historic home in Sicily without taking on the scale or complexity of a much larger building.
With around 45 m² of living space, it has the potential to become a beautifully designed holiday home, weekend retreat or low-maintenance full-time residence. Renovating a smaller property also allows more of the budget to be invested in quality materials and thoughtful design, creating a home that feels far more luxurious than its size might suggest.
If I were buying this property, I'd focus on creating a beautifully detailed small home where every square metre feels intentional.

Renovation Notes
The property is sold partly renovated: the roof has been refinished, the electricity and plumbing are new, and the floor and structures have been completed.
The project scope would be limited to reconstruction of the mezzanine, restoring the bathroom, and then finishes, furniture, and lighting.
A renovation budget of approximately €40,000 would allow the interiors to be completely reimagined while preserving the character of the building. For buyers looking to create a beautiful home without managing a major construction project, this represents a very approachable opportunity.
