Who wouldn’t want their own Sicilian island? A private, sun-kissed refuge in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, complete with the remains of a 16th-century watchtower, ancient Roman basins and a medieval well. A secluded retreat within swimming distance of Sicily (for the physically fit), yet removed from its bustle and chaos.
The Isola delle Femmine — Island of the Women — which fits that description, is on the market at an asking price of two million euros, or roughly $2.2 million. “I would love someone to buy it who can enjoy it,” said Countess Paola Pilo Bacci, whose family has enjoyed the island for four centuries.
