Have you ever read "the secret garden"? I love the moment when Mary discovers the wooden door and the wonderful place that hides behind it. Today we will give you a similar experience. In Scicli, the most beautiful and photographed building is the Benevento palace. In one side of this splendid building, a door leads us into our secret garden and just as in the story time and nature have tried to recover their space. Within this courtyard, we imagine around the fifties, a small independent house was built and could now become your splendid home. Stand in front of the front door and close your eyes, because this property should be seen with heart and good taste. On the ground floor you can imagine how your spacious living area will transform. The ideal would be to find an antique door, in raw wood simply cleaned and cared for, where you can access a large kitchen with rope shades typical of the buildings of the center of Scicli, the living area furnished in Boho chic style with a large white corner sofa. In this floor we find the first of the two bathrooms of the house with small ancient Sicilian tiles. An important role should be reserved for the redevelopment of the square that can maintain part of the old cobblestones and the remaining a beautiful garden with lamps in the driveway and spotlights that highlight the ancient door and the stone wall. I would highlight the internal staircase that leads to the upper floor with a stone wall exposed by making vertical openings to let the natural light pass through them. The sleeping area should be reviewed so that the master bedroom has an exit to the small terrace between the roof tiles. Here we will be able to place a whirlpool where you can spend intimate moments protected by a wisteria pergola, while the bed takes the coolness from the balcony to which we will have recaptured the ancient splendor. The second bathroom and a second bedroom or study will complete the floor. But this is what I "saw" closing my eyes, and you? How fantastic have you decided to transform this pearl? I can't wait to go back and see what you've accomplished.

Among the Baroque columns of the historic center of Scicli, oleanders bloom and the Mediterranean breeze caresses the Genoese countryside, since ancient times renowned for their fertility and richness. Ideal as a first or second home, from the Jungi area it is convenient to travel by car, on foot or by bicycle. It's a spring Sunday, the sky is blue like we've never seen before. We prepare a picnic, get out of the house with the family and get in the car. We turn the key, we hear the engine start and we ask ourselves: what are we surprised by today? In less than ten minutes we are within reach of everything we need: whether it's the sea, a supermarket, the wonders of the historic center of Scicli - it's all at your fingertips. So what are we waiting for to dive into the water, to learn what were the peoples who lived these lands for millennia? Once there, what prevents us from spending our days at sea, in the countryside? An aperitif in front of the cathedral of Scicli? See the sun set behind the Gulf? The apartment is on the first floor of a multi-family condominium, whose building is on six levels. The internal stairs lead to the entrance, which in turn leads to a corridor, which naturally connects the rooms of the building, surrounded by a balcony that runs along the external sides of the building. So we have: a kitchen, which leads to the terrace; two bedrooms, one single and one double, also equipped with large French windows with access to the balcony; a living room, which in turn has a small corridor which currently houses a small study. To this must be added a laundry room and a garage, which complete the property.
Today we begin the visit to this beautiful apartment in the center of Scicli starting from the solar paving from which you can enjoy the city from above and sunbathe you in the privacy of your new home. A laundry room on the high floor, next to the panoramic terrace we have just visited, it allows you to easily extend the laundry outside and at the same time have a structured space convenient for washing and keeping the dirty laundry or seasonal changes. We go down to the second of the three floors of this building to visit the apartment which is about 100 square meters commercial, therefore suitable both as a holiday home or for living all year round or even to make income. From a cozy entrance that clearly divides the living area from that night, we go to visit the living area a single large environment of over 30 square meters, to which are connected the kitchen and a practical storage room, which overlooks the balcony where the boiler is located. A bathroom with windowed tub with first bathtub and one with shower mark the passage to the sleeping area bordered by a bleached oak door where we find the two bedrooms, one double and one single. A detail that I very much liked and that denotes the attention being renovated, is the choice of the plates of the current switches in different nuances in each room, in blue in the sleeping area with a call back to the shelves of equal color in the single room and the large colored wall in the double bedroom. In the bathrooms the choice has fallen over the water green like the accessories and shades of the tiles. I'm in red Valentino instead in the kitchenette such as the stove and the large wall of the living area that contrasts with a wall with relief decoration in the shades of beige grey. Mosquito nets in the windows and a air conditioning system make this apartment particularly comfortable where, once you have the keys, you can immediately transfer.
