Villa Emanuela - Trabia

Spacious and beautifully presented, villa emanuela is a detached three-bedroom family home outside Trabia in the province of Palermo. Just 800m from the nearest beach as the crow flies, you can enjoy a sea view from the sunny terraces, the best of which has been created using the entire flat roof of the single storey property.

Three bedrooms and some great family spaces
The floor plan is typically Sicilian, with one end of the house used in the daytime, and the other at night. The former includes a roomy entrance hall and a very large kitchen-diner, where you can soak up the sunshine that comes from the large south-facing window. The three bedrooms can all sleep two people, although one of them is currently being used as a study.

The sun room was once an uncovered portico which was glazed on three sides. This has created a fabulous space to use all year round, with the windows open in summer and closed to keep the heat in during the short Sicilian winters.

Walking distance from the beach
Although the area is very rural, and you certainly won't feel nearly as on top of your neighbours as you can in the residences and more intensive developments nearer to the beach, the road to the seaside is just 1.4km. If that feels too far on a hot day, you can cover the ground in minutes on a bike or by car.

The property is also conveniently located for Sicily's most important motorway, which connects Palermo in the east with Messina in the west. The location is really ideal for a buyer who wants to explore everything Sicily has to offer, with nowhere on the island more than a three hour drive away.

In great condition for year-round use
The property is extremely energy efficient, with solar panels to generate electricity and heat water on the roof, and recently installed windows to insulate the interior. The south-facing windows and sun room are great for catching the warmth of the sun even on a winter's day, and as a final comfort, all of the rooms have gas-powered radiators.

In the summer, you'll love the air conditioners distributed throughout, and the shade offered by the trees in the garden and canopies in front of the sun room and on the roof. Plus, of course, you can cool off with a dip in the perfect clear water at any time you fancy!
