Gianpi immobiliare: your dream home in the val di noto region

Gianpi Immobiliare, based in Piazza Armerina, is the new Official Luxforsale Partner for the province of Enna and the Val di Noto—an area rich in monuments and historical heritage, offering unique experiences in every field thanks to its deep history, top-tier food and wine culture, and unspoiled natural landscapes.

What kind of clients seek out a luxury real estate agency in Piazza Armerina, and what features are most sought after in luxury properties?
The typical client looking for property in the Val di Noto area—and in Piazza Armerina in particular—is someone in search of a peaceful life, slow and ancient rhythms, soft hues and mild temperatures, rural landscapes, and buildings glowing with the golden hue of local sandstone. At the same time, they seek a central location: the coordinates of Sicily’s four cardinal points intersect in this area, making all Sicilian provinces, major airports, and both northern rocky and southern sandy beaches easily accessible.

Buying, long-term renting, or short rentals: What is the main need of luxury clients in your area?
Property purchase is undoubtedly the primary need of our clientele, as high-end properties in our region benefit from more moderate prices, unaffected by the inflation of better-known cities.

Is there a difference between the type of luxury properties sought by Italian and foreign clients?
Italian clients tend to look for homes in the modern city center with all the latest comforts—such as well-separated living and sleeping areas and clearly defined rooms. Foreign clients, on the other hand, appreciate large spaces like grand reception rooms, love the charm of interconnected rooms, and often prefer the historic center or quiet semi-central areas.

What are the trends you’ve observed in the real estate market in Piazza Armerina?
A prevailing trend is the release onto the market of high-end properties that once belonged to well-off families. These homes, now too large for couples whose children have moved out, are lovingly kept to host children and grandchildren on special occasions, but are increasingly impractical for daily life.

What motivated you to become a Luxforsale partner?
I’ve always seen and experienced the immense potential of this land. Over the years, I’ve visited many properties that made me fall in love—sometimes at first sight, sometimes through the eyes of a real estate professional. I believe Luxforsale will allow me to share with a discerning, global clientele what I see and continue to see in this beautiful land.

How do you see the future of the luxury real estate market in your city? What signs have you noticed and what strategies will you adopt?
It’s a largely untapped market that needs to be brought into the light using modern tools that highlight the unique qualities of luxury properties located in the heart of Sicily.
We’re already receiving signals from nearby Malta and Eastern European countries, where people are discovering our mild year-round climate, peaceful daily life, and the absence of wild overdevelopment. The crisp air of our eucalyptus and pine forests, combined with the charm of our architectural and natural beauty, leaves a lasting impression on those who visit.
