About this place
This intriguing three-bedroom apartment is situated on the second floor of a charming building in the historic heart of Catania, specifically via della Palma 24. It has been partially refurbished, with a completely renovated roof and internal floors ready for new installations and finishes.
The layout comprises an entrance leading to a living area with an open kitchen, alongside one bedroom and a bathroom on the main floor. An internal staircase grants access to the upper floor, which consists of two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom. The property's unique feature is its potential for division into two distinct housing units, making it a highly profitable option for rental or resale.
Strategically located near Baroque monuments, theatres, and vibrant local life, this apartment is a short walk from essential services, including supermarkets and traditional markets. Key attractions, such as Via Etnea and Piazza Duomo, are just minutes away on foot, making this an exceptional investment opportunity.

Buying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.
The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.
Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
