The property this week is Casa Pacì, a uniquely situated villa, set among the rocks outside the town of Scilla. Tucked away into the geography of the coastline and practically invisible from the main road, it offers an exclusive view of the Strait of Messina and the Aeolian Islands, and direct access to the sea. Scilla is a renowned tourist resort with all the amenities you might need, and the villa is located just 20 minutes from the Reggio Calabria airport.
The villa is spread over three floors with approximately 740m2 of floorspace, with as much outdoor space between the 480m2 offered by the terraces on different levels, and the 300m2 terraced gardens that offer a lush, green surrounding to listen to the Mediterranean waves splashing ashore on the beach below. Looking at the sea, the gardens, and the rustic, exposed stone of the façade, it is difficult to imagine a life that is not as relaxing as is possible in this hidden treasure.
Entering the main door we will find a large entrance hall with seated area, which leads outside again to a large balcony overlooking the sea. There are also four bedrooms all of which have access to the balcony. The upper floor boasts a complete master suite including a bedroom with access to the gardens outside, a full bathroom, and a living room with stone fireplace, and a kitchenette. There is also access to attic space with two separate terraces, which could serve as a secluded relaxation space overlooking the entire property.
On the floor below the entrance is the main living area of the property. As well as the living room, there is a spacious kitchen and pantry, with access to an outdoor barbecue area. Like the rest of the villa it has a beautiful rustic aesthetic, with exposed wood and stonework, and three large French doors in the living area open onto the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. The terrace is partially covered, with a dining area and plenty of more relaxed seating, to enjoy the views.
Casa Pacì is a beautiful, rustic villa, in a stunning, exclusive location with one of a kind views. There really isn't anywhere else like it, and it is an absolute bargain. The property is for sale on idealista for 4,000,000 euros.
