Apartment via Arco Castro 15, Centro, Scicli

In the most exclusive part of the historic centre of Scicli, we offer for sale a charming period building dating back to the late 800s, with two main facades, the first on Via Francesca Mormina Penna and the other between the end of the Corso Mazzini and the Via Nazionale.
The building extends over three levels and includes, on the floor below street level, a large garage of approximately 120 m2 where four cars can be conveniently accommodated, with ample space to manoeuvre.
The first floor, which is accessed Via the main feature staircase, occupies an area of approximately 275 sqm and is the most important part of the building. It is divided into two wings, of which the first is the oldest. Here, passing through a small lobby, we emerge into a spacious salon with a ceremonial anteroom. Its beauty is due mainly to the decorations that we find on both the walls and the ceiling, such as the gilded embossed stucco and mouldings with internal floral designs that make it elegant but understated. They set off the tastefully selected antique furniture and numerous pieces of particular interest. The salon has a balcony facing the town hall, which became famous as the location for the 'Inspector Montalbano' TV series.
It is situated in one of the most beautiful streets in Sicily, Via F.sco Mormina Penna, which is home to a third of the architectural beauties of Scicli. Via a corridor, we move to the other wing of the building, a little more recent but no less important, which includes the kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms, a living room, study and two bathrooms. This part of the house is also important for its main balcony, rounded in shape, which overlooks intersection of two streets of the centre, giving the building strategic exposure and views.
Lastly, the second floor of about 150 sqm is reached Via a staircase in pitchstone. This floor has never been renovated but has its own charm, because a part has a sloping roof with two low windows with views of the town hall. There are two other rooms, a bathroom and a covered veranda which leads to a beautiful terrace from where you can see, and almost touch, the baroque monuments, churches and buildings of Scicli.
The terrace has an area of about 120 sqm, with some small rooms used for services and laundry facilities. A final, and very important, detail: on the inside of the building a convenient elevator has been installed from the garage up to the second floor. Its enviable location, its charm and its potential, give it a unique character and fascination. Ref. 726
