Once through the entrance gate of the property, one cannot help but be magnetized by the sight of this splendid independent villa - in fact, the gaze is immediately lost in the background of a large courtyard embellished with ornamental plants and trees to observe the charm of the other times of this residence which is also characterized by the uniqueness of the architecture compared to other stately villas in the area. This noble villa was built at the end of the 1800s by a high-ranking Sicilian family to legitimize their social status on the surrounding landed properties with an extension that included several tens of hectares of land but which today are reduced to less than one hectare. The last owner was a senior officer of the Italian Navy and this influence is perceived in the accuracy of the choice of some details such as the beautiful outdoor pendant lamps used on ships until the first decades of the last century and which light up this villa after dusk . The Villa is spread over two levels and is characterized by the presence of numerous terraces and verandas. The ground floor has a large reception hall ideally divided into a dining room and a large living room, the other rooms with a functional layout are another living room, the eat-in kitchen with adjoining covered veranda, a study room, a bedroom, a single bedroom and two bathrooms serving this floor, as well as a practical and useful closet.

Within this property there is an outbuilding with a private courtyard with an independent entrance and which has a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom with shower. Up until the post-war period, the villa was heated by wood-burning fireplaces that were still functioning, but at the end of the last century radiators fed by a boiler placed in a special external room were installed in all the rooms. A double garage for two cars, a tool room and an oven room complete the accessory units of the property.
