Villa 5 sovrum, 493 m²

Ispica, Ragusa (provins)

RE/MAX International Real Estate presents an exclusive Sicilian Historic Residence for sale, in the province of Ragusa.

Imagine entering an independent historic building in the heart of Ispica, a true jewel dating back to the late 1700s and early 1800s, built by Bruno di Belmonte Franzo and skillfully restored recently to combine the charm of the past with the comforts of the present.

Here, every detail breathes Art Nouveau style: stone vaults in the dammusi, floors with colored majolica tiles, crystal chandeliers that illuminate living rooms and dining rooms with antique tables and inlaid chairs, welcoming bedrooms with solid wood beds and ornate headboards. The property extends over multiple levels - deposits and spacious dammusi on the ground floor for a total of 163 sq m with high ceilings perfect for versatile uses such as warehouses, laboratories or living space extensions, and approximately 330 sq m of living space between the first and second floors, with a long panoramic balcony overlooking the entrance street that offers suggestive views of the historic center.

Walking through the rooms, you immediately notice the harmony between old and new: the double living room with high frescoed ceilings, a livable kitchen and renovated bathrooms without losing the original elegance, and that touch of Sicilian warmth given by details that tell stories of generations. It is a unique property, ideal for those who love to live in a historic setting but with all comforts, perfect both as a private residence and for a tourist investment given the proximity to the sea.

And then there's Ispica, a charming village in the Val di Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002 for its Sicilian Baroque. With just over 15,000 inhabitants, it is a corner of authentic Sicily, just 20 minutes from the beaches of Pozzallo and Santa Maria del Focallo, and convenient for reaching Ragusa Ibla, Modica and Noto. Its Archaeological Park of Forza, with rock necropolises and caves carved into the rock, testifies to a millennial history from prehistoric times to Arab and Norman domination - the name comes from the ancient Ispra, razed to the ground by the earthquake of 1693 and rebuilt higher up. Today it attracts visitors with the majestic Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Palazzo Cosentini and the Loggiato del Sinatra, as well as festivals such as the cherry festival and a lively real estate market, with affordable prices for those looking for historic residences.

It is the perfect place for a family looking for a refuge immersed in Sicilian culture, with potential for short-term rentals thanks to the growing tourism and the tranquility of a town that combines tradition, nature and sea.
