1 bedroom detached house, 85 m² Noto, Syracuse (province)
Description
The property is located within the Palazzo Astuto di Fargione and stands on a charming and quiet courtyard, where the lush rooftop garden and the elegance of the jasmine that frames the dammuso create a refined and unique setting.
The dammuso is characterised, in the spacious living area, by the typical barrel vault, finely restored, so as to enjoy the view of the elegant golden stone of Noto.
The flooring, also in stone, is the original flooring of the Palazzo, dating back to 1700, found during the restoration work that involved the entire building. This flooring has been masterfully brought back to life, giving the property an authentic 18th-century atmosphere.
The living area extends to a precious custom-built kitchen, built according to the strict Sicilian techniques and distinguished by original tiles dating back to 1800.
The property for sale consists of three large entrances that make the entire property extremely bright.
All three entrances open onto a refined corner of the courtyard where you can relax, in the shade of a lush jasmine with an intoxicating fragrance, reading a book and sipping a glass of good wine.
The property is approximately 85 square metres of usable space, distributed as follows:
- spacious living-kitchen area
- bathroom with hallway
- two bedrooms (one of which can be lofted)
- a private courtyard of approximately 25 square metres with views of the sumptuous courtyard and a wonderful rooftop garden.
- a large courtyard where you can park the car.
The property currently houses an art gallery, but could also take on the guise of a refined showroom, a high fashion boutique or a prestigious residence, to be used as a luxurious holiday home or, simply, for oneself, whose uniqueness is given by the attention to detail that characterises it and by the location in which it stands, the charming Palazzo Astuto di Fargione.
The Palazzo Astuto, in fact, is one of the most important historical palaces in the city of Noto and in Sicily as a whole.
It overlooks Via Cavour, a street in the historic centre among the richest in Baroque architecture, known for having been reserved for the sumptuous residences of the noble families of Noto. Its construction was commissioned by Baron Filippo Astuto di Fargione, on a project by the illustrious architect Vincenzo Sinatra.
The palace, in addition to being a noble residence, was also the seat of the prestigious Astuziano Museum, founded by Baron Antonino Astuto, archaeologist and numismatist, and frequently visited by King Ferdinand II of Bourbon, attracted by the richness of its numerous archaeological finds, many of which are now kept at the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum in London.
Inside the courtyard of the palace, there is also an air-raid shelter from the Second World War, over 500 metres long, which connects the palace to the upper part of the city and which has been recently restored and opened to the public in 2021 as an attraction managed by the Fondazione Teatro “Tina Di Lorenzo.
The facade of the palace features stunning Baroque balconies with cambered wrought iron railings and a monumental portal with a round arch, flanked by elegant Tuscan pillars.
The interiors of the palace are also noteworthy, embellished by 18th-century Baroque stuccoes that adorn the various halls, including the important “Festive Hall”.
The Palazzo Astuto di Fargione is, without doubt, one of the most sumptuous 18th-century noble residences in all of Sicily.
