WHY SICILY?
Sicily is a unique crossroads of history, traditions, and cultures. It lies in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea and has always been a meeting point for populations from all directions and origins. This makes the island so distinctive and not comparable with other sunny places across Europe and around the world.
Some good reasons to visit the island include stunning natural scenery and beaches, a mild climate, rich history and art, delicious fruit and vegetables, diverse cuisine, excellent air connections, authenticity, a relaxed lifestyle, sustainable tourism, potential opportunities, reasonable prices, and low taxes.
Types of houses and locations
The choice of location and house type is highly subjective and largely depends on how you intend to use your house.
In fact, perfect houses do not exist, and when considering your target, you must accept compromises based on your priorities and budget. It then falls to you to turn your house into your “home,” and as you know, this requires dedication and passion.
Townhouses offer the convenience and services, but they are seldom equipped with panoramic terraces. Sea towns are usually busy and noisy in summer, but quiet outside the season. Villages in hilly areas offer breathtaking views and affordable living, but in most cases, they are only accessible by car.
Therefore, when defining your target, you should first understand your real needs and what you are genuinely seeking.
For guidance, some options for choices include: a town house, a seafront house, a countryside house, a house with or without a terrace, a house with or without a garden, a house with or without stairs, a house with a panoramic view, a silent house, a house with parking space, a house well connected to public transport, a house for those who do not drive, a house with a pool, a traditional or historic house, land on which to build a house, or a house to be rented or used for one’s own needs.
The budget you need to consider varies greatly depending on your requests.
