Scicli, Sicily, Address available on request

Have you ever read "The Secret Garden"? I love the moment Mary discovers the wooden door and the wonderful place behind it. Today we will give you a similar experience. In Scicli, the most beautiful and photographed building is the Beneventano palace. On one side of this beautiful building, a door leads us into our secret garden and just like in the story time and nature have tried to take back their space. Inside this courtyard, we imagine around the fifties, a small independent house was built and now it could become your splendid home. Stand in front of the front door and close your eyes, because this property must be seen with the heart and good taste. On the ground floor you can imagine how your large living area will be transformed. The ideal would be to find an antique door, in raw wood simply cleaned and cared for in which to access a large kitchen with rope shades typical of the buildings in the center of Scicli, the living area furnished in Boho chic style with a large white corner sofa. On this floor we find the first of the two bathrooms of the house with small ancient Sicilian tiles. An important role must be reserved for the redevelopment of the square that can maintain a part of the ancient cobblestones and the remaining a splendid garden with lamps in the driveway and spotlights that highlight the ancient door and the stone wall. I would highlight the internal staircase that leads to the upper floor with a stone wall facing sight practicing vertical openings to pass natural light through them. The sleeping area must be revised so that the master bedroom has the exit on the terrace between the roof tiles. Here we can place a Jacuzzi in which to spend intimate moments protected by a wisteria pergola, while the bed takes the coolness from the balcony to which we will have revived the ancient glories. The second bathroom and a second bedroom or study will complete the floor. But this is what I "saw" by closing my eyes, and you? How fantastic did you decide to transform this pearl? I can't wait to come back to see what you've accomplished.
