3 Bed Apartment for sale
Reitano, Messina, Sicily, Italy
Full Description
Almost directly on the sea, the charming old home that is Casina Torremuzza is an historic gem. Roughly a third of a noble old villa built by a landowning family a couple of hundred years ago, it offers a spacious 240m2 of indoor space, with some superb views of the beach and Tyrrhenian Sea.
This is divided between a long, thin portion of the ground floor, a wider slice of the first floor, a converted loft and a fully-independent annexe in the garden which is a cosy studio apartment in its own right. With shared use of the spacious green gardens, it is a lovely spot in which to escape from the stresses of day-to-day life.
Timeless Design and Durable Craftsmanship
The ground floor comprises a long, thin living room with a smoothly arched ceiling, and a fully tiled Sicilian kitchen. With a blue and white majolica print used not only on the floor but also the built-in units housing the cupboards, worktop and even the oven, it is a friendly and characterful space in which to cook and eat, with ample room for a breakfast table.
Upstairs, six rooms of varying sizes are arranged in an interconnecting floor plan. At the moment two of these are bedrooms, but it would be easy to see that number rise to three or even four. The two rooms at the front of the property have balconies with completely unobstructed sea views. There are also two bathrooms with showers.
Upstairs again is a loft conversion which could be a further bedroom, and last but not least the outbuilding is the perfect base for guests who want a little more independence, or the heaviest snorer in the family!
Natural Beauty from Sea to Sky
The stretch of coast where you will find Casina Torremuzza is between the small beach towns of Castel di Tusa and Santo Stefano di Camastra, about half an hour east of Cefalù on Sicily's north coast. Inland, the hills of the Nebrodi Natural Park begin to rise, making this a fabulous holiday spot for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Despite its obvious beauty, the region is entirely untouched by mass tourism, and you will find this a perfect base from which to discover a traditional and authentic side to Sicilian life.
