Casa Colibrì is a fully renovated 51 m² apartment for sale in Santa Flavia, Sicily, priced at €160,000. Located on the third floor, it comes with an exclusive 65 m² roof terrace, a balcony and views towards the sea.

A Renovated Apartment with Private Roof Terrace in Santa Flavia

Casa Colibrì combines a completely renovated interior with one of the features most difficult to find in a compact town-centre apartment: a large private roof terrace.

The property is located on Corso Filangeri, the main street of Santa Flavia, a year-round coastal town east of Palermo. The railway station is around five minutes away on foot, with direct trains reaching central Palermo in approximately twenty minutes.

The apartment has already been successfully used for holiday rentals and is sold with the furniture and equipment currently visible in the photographs. For buyers considering a property that can be used personally as well as rented during periods of absence, much of the practical infrastructure is therefore already in place.

The property has been comprehensively renovated, including the electrical and plumbing systems, windows and interior finishes. Autonomous gas heating with radiators and air-conditioning allow the apartment to be used throughout the year.

The Property

Casa Colibrì occupies the third floor of a small building with one residential unit on each upper floor and a commercial premises at street level. The building does not have a lift, so access to the apartment is via the communal staircase.

The entrance opens into a bright open-plan living area incorporating the kitchen, dining space and sitting room. The fitted kitchen is arranged around a marble-topped breakfast island, providing useful work space while keeping the room open and sociable.

The living area opens through French windows onto a balcony with enough space for a small table and chairs. Thanks to the property's southern exposure, this part of the apartment receives good natural light during much of the day.

The bedroom is comfortably proportioned and includes a built-in desk and storage. A second air-conditioning unit is installed here.

The modern bathroom is located off the kitchen and includes a walk-in shower, washbasin, WC, heated towel rail and washing machine. There is also a separate storage area for household, cleaning and maintenance equipment.

The apartment was extensively renovated by the present owners, with the interior stripped back and rebuilt. The work included new electrical wiring and plumbing, double-glazed windows and updated interior finishes. Autonomous gas heating with radiators provides winter heating, while two air-conditioning units offer cooling during the warmer months.

The furniture, kitchen equipment and other contents shown in the property photographs are included in the sale, making Casa Colibrì ready for immediate personal use.

A 65 m² Private Roof Terrace

One of the property's main features is its approximately 65 m² roof terrace, which is in the exclusive ownership of Casa Colibrì.

The terrace provides considerably more outdoor space than the apartment itself and offers open views across Santa Flavia towards the sea. There is ample room for outdoor dining, sunbathing, plants and different seating areas.

The water cisterns serving the other two apartments in the building are also located on the roof terrace. Should maintenance to those cisterns be required, the respective owners may need occasional access to the terrace. Any such access is arranged in advance with the owner of Casa Colibrì. This does not make the terrace a communal or shared outdoor area: ownership of the terrace remains exclusive to Casa Colibrì.

Surroundings

Casa Colibrì is situated directly on Corso Filangeri in the centre of Santa Flavia. Shops, cafés, bakeries and other everyday services can all be reached on foot, making the apartment practical both for holidays and for longer stays.

The town's railway station is around five minutes away on foot. Direct trains reach Palermo in approximately twenty minutes and continue eastwards along Sicily's northern coast towards Cefalù.

The surrounding coastline includes Porticello, Sant'Elia and Capo Zafferano. The nearest beaches and swimming areas are around 1–1.5 km from the property, while the archaeological site of Solunto and Monte Catalfano are also nearby.

Bagheria, just a few kilometres away, provides larger supermarkets and a wider range of shops and services. Palermo Airport can normally be reached by car in around forty to fifty minutes, depending on traffic.

Holiday Rental and Income Potential

Casa Colibrì has an established history as a holiday-rental property. Over recent years, it has generated gross annual rental revenue in the region of €12,000 to €15,000.

This figure represents historical gross rental revenue and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future income or return. Future results will depend on factors including occupancy, nightly rates, seasonality, operating costs, presentation and management.

The apartment has previously been offered on the principal holiday-rental platforms and was also selected in the past for Airbnb's Plus programme. Its combination of a renovated interior, private outdoor space, proximity to the railway station and access to Palermo and the coast has proved suitable for short-term holiday use.

A future owner wishing to continue with tourist rentals will need to ensure that all registrations, identification codes and other legal or administrative requirements applicable at that time are correctly registered or updated in their own name. Our guide to running a holiday rental in Sicily provides further background on this subject.

Our sister company Solemar Sicilia, active in holiday accommodation in Sicily since 1986, can also assist a future owner with bookings, guest management and ongoing property management.

Alternatively, Casa Colibrì works equally well as a private second home. The apartment is already furnished and equipped, while the large roof terrace adds outdoor living space that can be enjoyed during much of the year.
