Palazzo Iacolano – Gratteri

LARGE FAMILY HOME WITH ROOF TERRACE IN ONE OF THE MADONIE NATURAL PARK'S MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES A huge three-bedroom property with potential to add a fourth, Palazzo Iacolano boasts over 200m2 of indoor space between its four storeys. At the edge of the hilltop town of Gratteri, on the lower slopes of the glorious Madonie Park, the huge family house rises above its neighbours to offer a special panoramic view from the roof terrace which overlooks the village and surrounding greenery. LIVING SPACE FOR THE LARGEST FAMILY The first floor of Palazzo Iacolano is taken up by a workshop and store room, served by a bathroom off the entrance hall. On the second and third floors you will find a pair of ample rooms each, a comfortable smaller one to the rear and a beautiful master bedroom to the front. On the first floor this larger room is served by an en-suite bathroom. The upper levels contain a family kitchen, a dining room and a second kitchenette, which we would suggest finding a more practical use for as a study or even a small single guest bedroom. This latter, along with the third floor bedroom, boast balconies overlooking the rooftops of Gratteri A PROJECT TO GET EXCITED BY There is work to be done to restore this historic palazzo to its original condition, and we estimate that around €80,000 will need to be budgeted in addition to the eventual purchase price. This investment, however, will not only strengthen the ceilings and mend a rather elderly roof, but allow for a full interior and exterior decoration, letting you reinvigorate this marvellous old property with a nod to the local traditions but all the creature comforts you could need to make this charming hilltop community your home.
