Property Description
Real estate in Trapani
The penthouse “Lidia” sits right in the heart of the stunning old town of Trapani. The area is restricted to traffic, guaranteeing a quiet atmosphere, and there is a public car park close at hand. This property is located on the fourth floor of a recently renovated apartment building and is served by a well-sized elevator as well as a staircase. The apartment has 7.5 rooms, of which two are bedrooms. The tasteful renovation has been carried out with high quality and luxurious touches.
The indoor living space totals 154m2 and the terraces approx. 210m2. These offer fantastic panoramic views across the roofs of the old town to the nearby sea with its clear turquoise waters.
Furnishings
The kitchen features a practical island and is fitted with a washing machine, a dishwasher, a large fridge and a large freezer. The design is fluid and continuous – there is a feature bathtub in the bedroom and the living area is characterized by open space. The bathroom itself is a good size with an adjacent laundry room.
The apartment has been renovated and all the systems (electrical and plumbing) are new and in compliance with the newest standards.
Surroundings
Penthouse Lidia, as already described, is located in the historical centre of Trapani. The building has historical value and most of the tenants are families. On the ground floor there are offices and a few steps from home, there are shops, supermarkets, restaurants, boutiques. The location is really enviable and the property certainly falls into the category of high quality and high level real estate.
Near the estate, you certainly can’t miss the old town centre, the salt pans of Trapani and Mazzara (we suggest you to go to the Saline Museum where, besides admiring the technique of sea salt production, you can also meet some beautiful pink flamingos).
Near Trapani there is also the beautiful village of Erice and some of the best preserved Greek-Roman temples in the world (Segesta and Selinunte). Finally Trapani is also the ideal destination for those who love beaches and unspoiled nature (see for example the Zingaro Park).
Investment opportunities
The property falls into a hybrid category. The surface is very large but at the moment there are not many bedrooms. For this reason it would not seem suitable for those looking for an investment in a holiday home rental logic.
Likewise, the purchase and subsequent long-term rental to residents may not be easy.
We believe that this property is a very good opportunity for buyers who want to take possession of a property with a noble character. In the past this kind of apartments belonged to the most influential families of the city and still today Penthouse Lidia conveys this atmosphere. Nowadays such properties are no longer easy to find and therefore the investment lies precisely in this element of uniqueness.
