Details

Ideally located near all amenities in the historic centre of Noto, near Via Cavour, known as the street of aristocratic palaces, is this exquisite 4 bedroom historical Manor House, enjoying panoramic sea views from the terraces.

Originally owned by the noble De Falco family, it later passed to the Romano family, prominent among whom was Ruggero, who held positions such as Podesta, Deputy, and Undersecretary of State for Communications during the fascist government, as well as Minister of Public Works of the Italian Social Republic from September 1943 to April 1945.

The structure, arranged over multiple levels, comprises a ground floor of approximately 66 m2, dating back to the late 18th century, with two entrances from Ronco F. Alderuccio. It consists of two contiguous rooms, one of which, larger, features a stone arch and ancillary spaces.

The upper level, with another entrance from Ronco F. Alderuccio and approximately 125 m2 of usable space, consists of a captivating mezzanine area, originally classified as a stable, composed of a series of interconnected rooms characterised by barrel and groin vaults.

Interestingly, during the 1960s, it was the first and most frequented nightclub in the province of Siracusa, adorned by the collaboration of local artists, with its unique atmosphere still lingering in the memories of those who attended. Above this, the noble floor is accessed via a gate on Via P. Micca, leading to an atrium with an elegant staircase ascending to the entrance door.

This level, approximately 275 m2, features two large and bright communicating halls opening onto a long balcony overlooking a city park, spanning the entire rear facade of the building, along with other rooms. It comprises 5 large rooms, in addition to an entrance hall, kitchen, bathroom, and mezzanine level. Of note is the southern facade of the property, adjacent to a cobbled alley, with an impressive arched structure supporting an annex of the property, connecting it to the neighbouring residence.

Situated on the noble floor is a delightful apartment of approximately 66 m2, accessible independently from the atrium, located on the first floor. Its standout feature is a spacious terrace overlooking the aforementioned park, offering expansive views extending to the sea.

Due to its proximity to the historic core of the city, historical and ownership background, architectural features, and aesthetic appeal, this residence encapsulates the essence of one of the most intriguing and captivating historic buildings in the baroque city.

The property is ideal both as an investment opportunity, to create an exclusive boutique accommodation, and as a private residence, enhanced by the presence of two garage spaces, breathtaking views, and an exclusive location just steps from Corso, yet away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Italy Property Buying Guide

1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)

Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.

2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)

The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.

3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)

The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.

4. Formalities to be observed after Completion

Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
