Property Description
Key Features
-
A private, multi-unit historic sicilian “palazzo” including a noble duplex, an apartment, a private garage, a large cellar, and a mezzanine studio.
-
Over 5,270 sqft (490 sqm) of interior space across three levels and ground-floor assets, with a large rooftop terrace.
-
Frescoed high vaulted ceilings, original Sicilian cementine tiles, and grand marble stairs.
Perfectly situated on the fascinating Via Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, a stone’s throw from the old street market of Strada Verdura and the spa district of the Grand Hotel delle Terme, this grand Multi-Unit Historic “Palazzo” is a rare architectural jewel. The property offers the structural scale and privacy required for a world-class primary residence, a family estate, or a premier boutique hospitality redevelopment.
The main façade overlooks the historic skyline and the silhouette of Monte San Calogero, while the rear elevation on Via Scopari captures sweeping views of the sea and the upper Termini Imerese.
I. The Noble Upper Duplex (245 sqm / 2,630 sqft)
This prestigious residence, spanning the second and third floors, represents the pinnacle of Sicilian aristocratic living.
-
Second Floor: On the Via Vittorio Emanuele Orlando side, the floor features two imposing master bedrooms with magnificent frescoed high vaulted ceilings. A third bedroom/study, also located on this side, is suspended above the historic Vicolo Maestranza, giving the property its unique architectural character. Facing the sea (Via Scopari), the property opens into an imposing double reception hall with a crimson vaulted ceiling and gilded decorations, a bright kitchen-diner with coastal views, and a main bathroom.
-
Third Floor: Dedicated to lifestyle and panoramas, this level features a spacious “tinello” (kitchen-diner) and a second bathroom. It leads directly to the private rooftop terrace, a sun-drenched sanctuary overlooking the historic skyline and Monte San Calogero.
II. The Guest Apartment (130 sqm / 1,400 sqft)
Located on the first floor, this independent unit is a “time capsule” of historic professional elegance, ideal for high-end hospitality or guests.
-
Layout: The floor consists of three expansive main rooms with high ceilings, a dedicated kitchen, a bathroom, and several strategic storage rooms (camerini).
III. Ground Floor & Service Assets
The Palazzo is completed by functional spaces that are nearly impossible to find in the city’s historic core:
-
The Cellar (48 sqm / 515 sqft): A large, historic storage space. Due to the land’s natural slope, it is located at the basement level relative to the main entrance on Via Vittorio Emanuele, while sitting at street level on Via Scopari. It is perfect for a professional wine cellar or an artist’s workshop.
-
The Private Garage (26 sqm / 280 sqft): Situated directly adjacent to the main entrance portal, providing rare and secure private parking.
-
The Mezzanine Studio: A separate small unit with a mezzanine level, independently accessible from Via Scopari, ideal as an atelier or creative retreat.
