4 bedrooms historic house, 250 m²

Tiriolo, Catanzaro (province)

For sale an independent portion of a historic building in Tiriolo, one of the most elegant and evocative villages in Calabria.

Tiriolo is a small town located north of the Isthmus of Catanzaro, the narrowest point in Calabria, 690 meters above sea level. In summer the village comes alive with tourists, who come to admire the view: it is possible to see the two seas at the same time, the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian. On beautiful evenings you can admire the Aeolian islands and Mount Etna.

The Ionian coast, with its very long beaches, is 10 km, 30 km to the Tyrrhenian coast and the airport of Lamezia Terme (SUF). The nearest ski slopes are in Villaggio Palumbo, 60 km away.


Palazzo Alemanni dominates the town's main square and has three centuries of history. When the noble family of German origin settled in this strip of land, Tiriolo was already a thriving strategic center and
commercial, probably from the times of Magna Graecia. It rises on the narrowest point of Calabria, so as to make possible the contemporary view of the two seas, the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian. And perhaps that is why the barons chose that precise point to build their palace. They had to be lovers of beauty and extraordinary things, since they encouraged the spread of art, not only with the two magnificent Palaces -
the twin of that of Tiriolo was built a few decades later in Catanzaro - but above all by supporting young local artists, among whom the most famous became Mattia Preti, and supporting the culturally liveliest scene in the entire South.


The property for sale has a total area of about 250 meters commercial, has a separate entrance on Via De Filippis, inside it is divided into two separate apartments, one on each floor, with stairwell and shared terrace.
The first floor apartment has a floor area of 78 square meters (kitchen, bathroom, living room, two bedrooms, utility room) is habitable and is equipped with radiators; it has a balcony on the side of the building and two monumental windows on the main facade.
