Full Description


A few minutes from the characteristic village of Castanea, but in the immediate vicinity of a small complex of permanently inhabited villas, is this exclusive property of great charm characterized by stone cladding, both inside and out. The property is sold as seen and requires finishing. The ancient and suggestive village of Castanea delle Furie rises at an altitude of about 400m on the verdant hills that crown the city of Messina and due to its panorama, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Sicily, as from its heights it is possible to view both the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian sides.

The property is proposed in a rustic state and is spread over an area of about 150 m2. on the ground floor, still to be customized in the internal distribution, plus a terrace, a large veranda and a room of about 25 m2 located on the lower floor. In a very quiet position with a suggestive panoramic view towards the sea and the surrounding hills, it has a large plot of land of about 1000 m2.

This Villa's enviable position, its healthy air, the tranquility and the hospitality of its inhabitants have made it a wonderful holiday destination. Around this village, which was one of the most important hamlets of Messina, the entire communication system of the city revolved, so as to arouse the interest of the military order of the Knights of Malta (and later of the Knights of Jerusalem) of which it was a possession for centuries.

Among the churches that can be visited today we have those of San Giovanni, Santa Caterina, Il Tonnaro, Santa Rosalia and SS. Rosary. During the Christmas period, the atmosphere of a Bethlemmian village can be found in the alleys of the old farmhouse with the setting up of the famous Living Nativity Scene, one of the most evocative in Sicily. Lastly, the Ethno-Anthropological Museum is particularly interesting.
