Historic residence with pool surrounded by greenery in the heart of Messina

Located along Viale Regina Margherita, a key stretch of Messina’s ring road, this distinguished period residence enjoys a privileged and secluded position, nestled in greenery just minutes from the historic city centre. This elegant early 20th-century villa has been tastefully renovated and is surrounded by a magnificent private garden of approximately 3,000 square metres, lush with fruit trees and native Mediterranean vegetation. The setting offers near-total privacy, tranquillity, and generous outdoor space—while still maintaining excellent proximity to the city centre and all major amenities. A private entrance from Viale Regina Margherita leads through a tree-lined avenue into the expansive garden, which is arranged across multiple levels to offer a variety of uses. The lower level features outdoor parking and a covered garage of around 90 square metres. On an upper terrace lies the property’s crown jewel: a beautiful swimming pool, shaded by mature trees and fragrant jasmine. With an internal floor area of over 650 square metres, the villa boasts spacious living quarters, including several reception rooms, numerous bedrooms, and a kitchen with an adjoining dining area. A splendid terrace overlooking the surrounding greenery offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining, with views extending toward the Strait and the harbour. The property is arranged over three levels: two above-ground floors connected by a beautiful marble staircase, and a basement cellar—a practical and versatile space, ideal, for example, for creating a private wine cellar. The villa’s classic and elegant style, abundant natural light, and lush surrounding greenery, combined with its Art Nouveau architecture—echoing the work of renowned architect Borzì—imbue the residence with a refined yet understated charm. Thanks to these distinctive features and its strategic location between the city and the sea, the property is perfectly suited either as a prestigious private residence or as a venue for a wide range of commercial uses, where comfort and privacy can coexist seamlessly.
