CHARMING THREE-BEDROOM TOWN HOUSE IN BEAUTIFUL POLLINA

The neat, traditional exterior of Casa Collosi makes its interior something of a surprise – it has been decorated in a northern European style, with light wooden ceiling panels and doors, and a floor that is pink granite almost throughout. However, these relatively recent additions to a property that has great bones only illustrate how much care and attention has been spent on it by its current owners.

SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE

The ground floor has a bathroom (the only part of the house which needs pressing work), a guest bedroom at the front and a large, bright kitchen-living room at the rear. Upstairs you will find a bathroom with a shower, two large bedrooms, a study, and a little storeroom. Below street level there is a basement with storage or workspace which covers the entire 60m2 footprint of this large family home.

PICTURESQUE VIEWS

Casa Collosi is found in the tight warren of cobbled streets and alleys that makes up Pollina, one of the hilltop towns of the Madonie Park. An outwardly traditional community with an unexpectedly modern technological infrastructure that includes a smart recycling system and fibreoptic broadband, Polllina is just 4km from the coast, 15km from iconic Cefalù and within easy reach of the international airports at Palermo and Catania.

The town's views need to be seen to be believed, with a rapid drop 400m downhill to the sea, and views on a clear day that extend to Mount Etna in the east and the Aeolian Islands to the north.
