Historical townhouse close to the beach

Perched on the hillside overlooking the south west coast of Italy, Scalea’s old town is just minutes’ walk to the beach. One of the most popular destinations for holidays in southern Italy, Scalea is home to just under 11,000 people.

A thriving town year round, this traditional centro storico is a maze of narrow streets, piazzas littered with local restaurants. Linked to the main town, this borgo is a step or two back in time with plenty of history.

From the ruins of a Norman castle and parking a short walk along Via Castello into the narrow streets we have a three storey townhouse for sale.

The property is approximately 90 sq mtrs internally with two bedrroms, two bathrooms and roof terrace with sea and mountain views.

A townhouse consisting of a basement cantina and bathroom. The first floor is the main living area with kitchen diner, bathroom, bedroom and sitting room. A spiral staircase from the sitting room leads to a second floor bedroom and access to the 20 sq mtr roof terrace. From the terrace there are both mountain and sea views.

A perfect location with one of the many restaurants just around the corner.

A short stroll down the old town leads to the main piazza and bars and a great restaurant.

Within a 5 minute walk you will be in the main town centre full of shops, bars and restaurants. Across the road and you’re on the beach. This property would be ideal for either a holiday home or retirement.

Serviced by airports in Lamezia Terme (1 hour by train) or Naples (2.5hrs by train), Scalea is one of a few Italian resorts waiting to be discovered by foreign tourists.
