One-of-a-Kind Italian Estate in the Egadi Islands, Sicily

One-of-a-Kind Italian Estate in the Egadi Islands, Sicily

Nestled in the Egadi Islands' Naturalistic Area, Levanzo is one of those islands that are whispered about like secrets.

Easily accessible from the port of Trapani, the island of Levanzo is the smallest and perhaps the most picturesque of the Egadi Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, west of Sicily, Italy.

Levanzo offers a wealth of natural beauty with its dreamy beaches and stunning coves, with only one charming white village on the island overlooking the gulf.

Promising a tranquil pace of life, Levanzo is a place where there are more boats than residents (there are only about 200 inhabitants) and there are no motor vehicles on the island, which is less than 4 miles wide and easily walkable.

The former stronghold is set in a commanding position within a protected 22-acre estate, accessed by following the path that leads to the historic lighthouse of Capo Grosso on the northern tip of the island.

Remote and private, this unique property in Levanzo is the dream for those who wish to live by the Latin proverb, dolce far niente—Italian for ‘the sweetness of doing nothing’.

Offering panoramic views of the sea, the property encompasses six main residential structures dating back to the early 1900s. Meticulously restored, they offer over 10,000 square feet of interior space , with soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light.

Paying homage to the island’s rich history, the revitalization of the property includes its trails, along with the creation of dry walls and stepped terraces, as well as crystal-clear water pools. The property also boasts self-sufficient electricity and water supply.

Additional sea-facing structures on the estate can be restored and offer a further 4300 square feet of interior space.
