Villa Bosco - Collesano

LARGE VILLA FOR SALE IN SICILY'S NORTHERN HILLS, WITH INCREDIBLE VIEWS In a fabulous rural context, perched almost at the summit of a hill overlooking the wide valley just inland from Termini Imerese, Villa Bosco could be your tranquil escape to a Mediterranean paradise. 120M2 OF INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED INTERIOR The villa sleeps at least seven, with three double bedrooms and a single. A long living room with oak beams and a fabulously cosy open fireplace provides ample space for the whole party to gather in comfort, as well as twenty kilometre views from its long windows. This flows naturally into a kitchen area with plenty of cupboard space and the same great views. To the rear of the property, the bedrooms are served by a pair of bathrooms, one with a shower. Up the open wooden staircase is a loft space under the gentle eaves, where a mezzanine study or second lounge space is connected by a short corridor to a single bedroom and another bathroom with shower. A PERFECT PANORAMA It's hard to oversell the sense of space and excitement which comes from standing on one of Villa Bosco's garden terraces and drinking in the view that rolls on as far as the eye can see. Verdant green hillsides may surprise those whose image of Sicily is a scorching yellow land, and typical local foliage has been subtly deployed to shield the property from its neighbours. You'll feel completely free to enjoy your new home in complete privacy and seclusion. ON THE FRINGE OF A NATURAL PARADISE The villa stands outside the small town of Collesano, at the western edge of the Madonie natural park. This haven for biodiversity offers new walks, climbs and treks to be discovered every day of the year. Sports lovers adore the spectacular backdrop for biking and the region was brought to fame by the legendary Targa Florio rally, held annually since the early twentieth century. The picture postcard beach town of Cefalú is just down the hill, while an hour's drive will bring you to Palermo, Italy's fifth-largest and arguably most exciting city. The nearest airport is 90 minutes away.
