For sale in Taormina for a price of 15 million euros, today we're visiting Villa Caglia, one of the most picturesque residences on the island of Sicily, built on a rock and with an exclusive view over the rest of the city. Property of the artist Corrado Cagli, the villa has hosted some of the greatest figures of Italian cultural elite of the 20th century: from the poet and writer Giuseppe Ungaretti, to Pier Paolo Pasolini, from the conductor Riccardo Muti to the writers Alfonso Gatto and Elio Vittorini. The exclusive mandate for the sale is entrusted to the company Building Heritage - Forbes Global Properties, a reference point in the Real Estate market worldwide.
Villa Cagli is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque residences in Taormina, built on the rock, in the most panoramic point of the town. This gives the property stunning 360-degree views, allowing for direct interaction with nature and the sea, to be enjoyed all year round through the outdoor spaces and the wonderful indoor environments.
Built at the end of the 19th century, then carefully restored and enhanced in the last decade, allowing for the recovery of the historical parts, the villa spans over 3 levels facing the sea for over 1,000 square metres, with an additional 1,000 square metres of gardens, terraces, swimming pool, and private parking.
The main level consists of a significant entrance that immediately opens onto the living area with a large window overlooking the sea, which immediately suggests the continuous interaction between interior and exterior. In this area, there is a monumental antique fireplace, adjacent to a study area, a spacious dining area with large vertically sliding windows that disappear electrically, and a large kitchen. Through a staircase characterised by a glass covering, access is gained to both the lower and upper levels.
The latter is home to the sleeping area, a study, and additional panoramic terraces, while the other features two additional bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms, a second kitchen, another living area with a sea view and overlooking the property's extensive garden.
Outside, the garden is characterised by centuries-old Mediterranean plants with period terraces leading to an annex adjacent to the villa, which presents itself as another apartment complete with a sleeping area, living room, and kitchen.
The garden is also home to what was once the artist Cagli's workshop, now transformed into a splendid loft characterised by a large living area with a fireplace, dining area, kitchen, amenities, and, upstairs, two bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The property is completed by a wonderful infinity pool with a hydro-massage area, creating continuity with the sea in the background.
