Isola delle Femmine, Sicily – Price on application
An astonishing opportunity to buy your own 37-acre private island, the Isola delle Femmine on the northern coast of Sicily, close to Palermo.
There's a fascinating history of this island, whose name means 'Island of the Women', stretching back to antiquity. Yet nobody even agrees on the etymology of the name: some say it's because the place was once a women's prison, some because the women and children of the nearby town were evacuated here during an 18th century plague, while others claim it's a corruption of Insula Euphemi, named for the 9th century Byzantine governor of Sicily, Euphemius.
One of the remnants of that history is the centuries-old watchtower which dominates its skyline, and which could – nay, should – be used as a starting point to build a spectacular home.
For sale with Christie's International. See more pictures and details about this property.
