2 bedrooms apartment, 144 m² Forza d'Agrò, Messina (province)
Description
Nearly 400m above sea level but less than a kilometre from the nearest beach as the crow flies, Casa Luciano commands phenomenal views of Sicily's eastern coast as it runs south to the famous resort of Taormina.
Restore a Home in the Sun
The three storey property is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen-cum-sun room and a snug living room on the ground floor which is heated by a fireplace. There is character in spades, with one unique feature the fact that the home has literally been built into the rock face against which it stands. In one of the showers, and behind the sink in the kitchen, the back wall is literally just exposed bare rock.
Some work will be needed to make the most of the charming home, including replacement windows and bathroom fixtures. However, the raw beauty of this historic property, not to mention the amazing views from those upper terraces, guarantees a handsome return on your effort and investment.
A Place in Cinema History
Just seven kilometres north of the luxurious holiday landmark, the picture-postcard village of Forza d'Agrò is an attraction in its own right, having featured in the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather trilogy.
It's easy to see why the lovely hilltop community was chosen to evoke the Sicily of a hundred years ago... it's everything you imagine from a traditional hamlet on the island, from the narrow cobbled streets to the terracotta-tiled rooftops. The population declined dramatically over the past fifty years, but the international market has seen it start to recover in recent years, with overseas investment helping to restore a gentle bustle of activity to the alleyways and tiny piazzas of the town.
Great Potential as an Income Generator
Needless to say, the village's proximity to the sights of Taormina and its connection to the world of cinema mean that there is plenty of potential to recoup much of your outlay in periods where you can't use the home in person. In peak season a well presented two-bedroom property in Forza d'Agrò can command up to a thousand Euros a week.
