Avola, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

This delightful villa is located near Avola Antica on top of a hill from where one can enjoy a wonderful view over the town and the sea of Avola. The 170 sqm villa is spread over a single level and it has been recently renovated. The surface consists of a large open space with kitchen, dining and living room that leads directly onto the main veranda where there is a swimming pool. On the same level there is the sleeping area consisting of four comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. In addition, each bedroom has its own French window with independent access. An external staircase provides access to the terrace, where the sea view is even clearer and more poetic. The villa, which will be sold inclusive of furnishings, has a modern and functional style inside. As far as energy consumption is concerned, the presence of the photovoltaic system guarantees considerable savings. Since the location is a very popular tourist destination, this villa is well suited both for private residential use and as an investment in the short-term rental market.
The property is located in Avola Antica, in a magnificent natural setting a few minutes away from the famous Cavagrande del Cassibile lakes, 15 minutes from the town centre of Avola and only 40 minutes from Catania airport. Avola is set in an extraordinary landscape context since it lies between the Ionian Sea and the Iblei mountains, i.e., between a coastline with warm, fine, golden sand and the coolness and scents of the hills that surround it to the north-west. The Almond of Avola, with its perfect oval shape, and the Nero d'Avola, originating from the ancient vine of the same name, are famous throughout the world for their unmistakable flavours. Rich in historical, artistic and scenic beauty, Avola extends along the coast, along one of the oldest Greek routes in Sicily: the Via Elorina, in the area south of Syracuse, which is only 28 km away. Strategically located and very well connected, from Avola it is possible to reach in a short time many of the most renowned sites on the east coast and the hinterland of south-eastern Sicily: from the baroque cities of the Val di Noto, to the reserves of Pantalica and Cassibile. The motorway exit also makes it well connected to Catania airport.
