AMAZING BARGAIN! FOUR APARTMENTS, STUNNING VIEWS!

A single house divided into four independent apartments, Casa Salvina is a ready-to go solution for a buyer who wants a holiday home for a group of friends or various branches of the same family. Alternatively, a perfect option if you're dreaming of running a guest house in the sun. Tempted? Keep reading...

AN AUTHENTIC SICILIAN COMMUNITY

Casa Salvina stands on the edge of the village of Pollina, just 3km inland from the Tyrrhenian Sea in the centre of Sicily's north coast. In the foothills of the Madonie Natural Park, Pollina occupies the very top of a 700m hill that drops steeply away on all sides. This makes for some truly spectacular views from every side of town.

With all the shops and amenities that you need for everyday life, plus a jaw-dropping outdoor amphitheatre with an unbelievable natural backdrop, you'll find food for body and soul within walking distance of your front door.

FOUR HOUSES IN ONE

Each of the four independent apartments includes a double bedroom with balcony, a kitchen, dining area, bathroom with either a shower or tub, and storage space. They measure around 50-60m2 and each has a distinct character. We think it may be very possible to persuade the current owners to leave behind most, if not all, of the fittings and even furniture. There are also two storage spaces of around 40m2 apiece.

SUPERB COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS

While the majority of Pollina dates back to the middle ages, and its winding streets and charming courtyards are wonderfully atmospheric, steeped in that authentic Sicilian ambiance, one extra street was added right on the periphery in the 1960s and 70s. This is where we find Casa Salvina, and there are three advantages in play:

Firstly, the building is in good shape, structurally. Some work will need to be done on the interior of the roof, but the exterior is fine and there is no need for any major renovation work. That's more than can be said for many of the properties in the historic centre!

Secondly, the view is completely uninterrupted – and guaranteed to stay so as there is simply no room for more development at the top of the hill. Not a single roof in sight, only an uninterrupted panorama of green hillsides, blue skies and even a little of the Sea away to your left. That's from every one of the four apartments!

Finally, access is much easier. You'll have no problems arriving by car, guests with mobility limitations can be dropped off at the door, and if you do choose to do any work on the place in the future it will be simple to get materials and equipment delivered.

AMAZING VALUE

With a cost per m2 of less than €400, this is a truly incredible value purchase. You won't be tied into any major renovations and could move in almost immediately. With beautiful sandy beaches – including the spectacular Medieval beach town of Cefalú – just around the corner, you won't believe how quickly the stresses of modern life melt away in this charming corner of our beautiful island.
