3 Bed Apartment for sale
Collesano, Palermo, Sicily, Italy
Full Description
Casa alla Basilica, a charming traditional property, awaits in the heart of coveted Collesano in northern Sicily. This move-in ready gem offers ample space, sunrise views over Basilica Di San Pietro, and the potential for a magnificent rooftop terrace.
PRIME LOCATION IN SICILY’S HIDDEN GEM: COLLESANO
Collesano stands out as a prime destination for property investment in Sicily, and Casa alla Basilica enjoys a perfect spot within this flourishing town. Combining the tranquillity of a small village with the dynamism and convenience of urban living, Collesano offers a harmonious blend of both.
As well as having a traditionally Sicilian feel, it boasts a growing international community and vibrant social landscape as many expats have, unsurprisingly, already chosen to make Collesano their home in Sicily. New arrivals need not worry about language barriers or cultural integration, as your new neighbours will always be on hand to help you out with settling-in.
SUNRISE VIEWS OVER BASILICA DI SAN PIETRO
Casa alla Basilica finds itself nestled in the northern part of Collesano, just a few metres from the grand medieval Basilica di San Pietro, which towers over the centre of the town. In fact, if you look up pictures of Collesano on google images, you will be able to see this very property rivalling the height of the basilica and the ruins to the west.
The master bedroom on the first floor of the property has an east facing balcony looking out towards the church, which means you will be able to see the sun rise over it and hear the bells toll with your morning espresso and enjoy the sunset over the hills and the sea to the west with a glass of wine from the other side.
A HUGE ROOFTOP TERRACE WAITING TO BE CARVED OUT
Whilst the eastward view from the bedroom is beautiful, on the top floor of the property is its crown jewel. A huge room with windows to the south show the imposing basilica, and to the north show the hills of the Madonie, setting the stage for the west facing balcony which towers over the landscape, showing the medieval castle in the distance, and the sea over the rolling hills.
This space on the top floor could be made into a huge rooftop terrace which would extend to approximately 30m2 and offer a panoramic view over Collesano, not to mention the best spot to sunbathe in the whole town!
