AFFORDABLE TWO-BEDROOM, FAMILY HOLIDAY HOME IN THE MADONIE NATURAL PARK


A 130m2 property with around a thousand square meters of land, Casa Angela is a 1950s-built bungalow in a small hamlet south of Collesano.

Originally developed as social housing for the workers of the region, the modern settlement of around twenty similar bungalows is a friendly and extremely tranquil corner of Sicily in one of the most beautiful corners.


A TWO-BEDROOM, SINGLE STOREY FAMILY HOME

Casa Angela is made up of a pair of bedrooms – one master and one smaller twin to the rear – a large living/dining room, a large family kitchen and a pair of storerooms, at least one of which could be incorporated into the livable area of the property.

With some colorful local ceramics on the walls and floors, and beautiful wooden shutters, there are certainly some features and details which deserve to survive any renovation work to come. The roof is also in good condition, and our structural survey returned no major issues with the skeleton of the property.


THE GREEN PARADISE OF THE MADONIE PARK

The views from the front windows of Casa Angela are rural and expansive, the hillside sloping down away from the property, opening up a wide panorama of green pastures and rolling land. The higher slopes of the Madonie, where the terrain becomes dramatic and mountainous, begin about three or four kilometers to the east, with the region's highest point 10km from the property.

The nearby town of Collesano is famous for its artisanal ceramic industry and as the home of the legendary Targa Florio motor race. While the overwhelming impression of this charming market town, far from the tourist trail, is a traditional and unmistakably Sicilian community, a small but active group of expats from France, the UK, Germany and the USA have formed a welcoming and active society.
