The highlight of this floor is the magnificent formal living room (salone). This room is a stunning example of Sicilian Liberty style (also known as Art Nouveau), featuring soaring ceilings, original decorative stucco work, and intricate, period-patterned cement tiles (cementine). This grand space flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining room, a separate kitchen, and the main bedroom suite, which includes a private en-suite bathroom. The sheer scale and preserved details of this level offer an unparalleled backdrop for sophisticated entertaining and luxurious daily living.
The Top Floor
The property culminates on the top level, which is dedicated to flexible space and outdoor. This level comprises two additional rooms and a bathroom, providing excellent space for guest quarters, or a hobby area. The exterior features a private terrace.
