Property Description

In the central Piazza Umberto I stands the historic Palazzo Sansone Chiarano, a building designed in 1897 by architect Indovina. Today, it is an icon of Sicilian Art Nouveau with its majestic facade and long-decorated balconies.

Second floor 

Elegance and space characterize this exclusive apartment of about 200 sqm (2,153 sqft) with a mezzanine. Generous rooms, high ceilings, and original grit floors help recreate unique atmospheres, surrounded by Art Nouveau architectural elements, such as the large balconies overlooking the central and historic Piazza Umberto I. We have a generous entrance room on this floor, four large rooms with high and vaulted ceilings, a spacious bathroom, and a kitchen. The mezzanine floor has low ceilings, but we might use it as storage and laundry.

Third floor, with an enormous, panoramic terrace

The Palace’s substantial marble staircase leads to the third and top attic floor. Please note, though, that it would be pretty easy to install a stairway inside the apartment to combine the two floors into one entity. Upstairs is another 80 sqm (861 sqft) of living area to finish up. The exceptional terrace is also on this floor – we have a terrace on two levels of around 300 sqm (3,230 sqft)! The view of the town, the gulf, and the mountains are breathtaking!
