Ever dreamed of owning your own Italian private island? An aristocratic family is selling one in Sicily for a lot less than the price of a Tuscan villa or a Manhattan loft apartment. Isola delle Femmine, a wild pristine atoll near Palermo with a 17th century crumbling stone tower, is up for sale with offers invited of more than €1million -- about $1.1 million.

It's being sold by an aristocratic family which, like many others in Italy , is struggling to afford the upkeep of estates they've owned for centuries. The uninhabited oval-shaped island is part of a protected marine park that's now an elite scuba diving and snorkeling spot.
