cc-tapis partners with Airbnb

cc-tapis partners with Airbnb for the
“1 euro house” in Sambuca di Sicilia.

cc-tapis is happy to be part of Airbnb’s newest project born from the desire to revive Italian cultural heritage, benefiting rural communities that in recent years have suffered from population and tourism decline. A further demonstration of cc-tapis’ commitment to preserve tradition through innovation.

The 1 euro house concept is a project created by the Sambuca di Sicilia municipality by selling historic buildings in the town center for 1 euro. Designed to increase redevelopment and tourism to the region.

Visioni A Electric by Patricia Urquiola

Thanks to the involvement of numerous partners, including cc-tapis, Airbnb turned an abandoned mansion into a charming design home, combining the Sicilian architecture with the needs of contemporary living.

Before / After

The interior project was designed by Studio Didea, a local architecture studio based in Palermo.
