Description
ase & Stili Immobiliare is pleased to exclusively present one of the city's most fascinating historic homes: Villa Salerno, located on Corso Calatafimi, once known as Lo Stradone di Monreale. Surrounded by a private park of approximately 20,000 square meters, Villa Salerno is a sumptuous historic home with ancient origins and timeless charm. Built around 1727 at the behest of General George Oliver Wallis, the property subsequently belonged to Prince Tommaso Palermo di Santa Margherita, until it was acquired by the Salerno family, from whom it still takes its name today. The heart of the property is a 2,400-square-meter main complex, spread over three levels. Built on an original 17th-century structure, it features a rectangular floor plan and a solid tuff structure embellished with arches and load-bearing cross vaults, floors with wooden, iron, and tile elements, and a roof with exposed beams and traditional tiles. Adjacent to the main building is a further architectural volume, perfectly integrated both functionally and visually, dating back to the late 19th century. Although built later than the original construction, this extension today represents an inseparable element of the main building. Its flat roof, in fact, has been exploited as a terrace serving the first floor of the residence, offering a highly charming outdoor space.
An additional element of rare charm is the presence of ancient underground artifacts, likely of Arab origin: an area where there was probably a hypogeum water tank composed of three communicating rooms, perfect for the creation of an exclusive spa or wellness center of unparalleled charm.
The property currently requires major restoration work, both in terms of layout and systems, to be brought back to full functionality and regulatory compliance. The overall state of preservation can be considered normal from a construction perspective, but the interior spaces require careful renovation to express their full potential. Thanks to the spaciousness of the spaces, the presence of green areas, terraces, and ancillary structures, the property is ideal for the creation of a high-end hospitality facility, a charming hotel, a reception hall, a private clinic, or, more simply, to become an exclusive and prestigious residence, capable of combining history, nature, and comfort in an unparalleled setting. Villa Salerno is now an extraordinary opportunity for investors and visionaries seeking a rare and unique property. APE (Energy Efficiency Certificate) is pending. The property can be viewed daily by appointment. For further details, please contact us on WhatsApp at +39 327.886. 33.00.--d6d1829250d4d562fb0b61695a13ed36!
