The Aeolians are an archipelago of volcanic islands just off the northern coast of Sicily, seven beautiful and astonishing little parcels of land. Undoubtedly the one that casts the strongest magnetic spell is Filicudi, considered one of the most pristine and untouched islands in all of the Mediterranean Sea. Most remarkable about this place – apart from its beauty – is the peacefulness.
The small but stunningly beautiful Filicudi is a wild paradise of crystal clear waters, a spectacular jagged coast, wonderful sea bottom, fascinating caves, fragrant wormwood bushes and blooming trees.
Filicudi entices those who love the sea, nature and peace. In brief, it is a haven of tranquillity. The island is fabulous for walking and hiking, offering trails that open onto breathtaking landscapes in untamed wilderness, along with excellent swimming, snorkelling and diving. It is not uncommon to see dolphins and sea turtles only a few metres of the coast.
In the midst of this paradise lies a villa with deep pink-washed walls, lush terraces and sensational views of the sea to the other islands of the Aeolian archipelago. Here lies another world, one that is supremely private, wonderfully tranquil and comfortably removed.
The pièce de résistance of the charming villa is the terraces and the sweeping views they afford of the blue Mediterranean. This is an extremely rare find that allows you to savour the awe-inspiring views of the summit of the Etna volcano, the other Aeolian islands and the Italian coast.
Designed for Mediterranean-style living, the exquisite villa sits on a 2-acre plot and offers 232m² of glorious living space, plus 232m² of terraces.
This panoramic island hideaway is an idyllic world of timeless beauty.
Price upon request.
