Description
In the Tonna district, on a promontory overlooking the deep blue sea, stands this splendid 19th-century villa, an authentic testament to traditional Aeolian architecture. A place that embodies the charm of ancient island homes, where every detail tells stories of family, sea, and light. The property, spread over two levels, is organized into multiple sections: some already expertly restored with refined taste, others yet to be restored to their original beauty. In this balance between past and present, the house retains its full soul, leaving room for the imagination and dreams of those who will live there. Its typical features enchant at first glance: the "u bagghiu," the beating heart of the house, welcomes the long summer hours under a portico with "pulera" pillars; The "bisola"—period majolica seats—offer contemplative respite, while the domed oven and ancient rainwater cisterns speak to a tradition of self-sufficiency and conviviality. Outside, courtyards and patios offer poetic glimpses of a generously sized fruit garden, fragrant and lush, gently sloping towards the sea. From every angle, the gaze sweeps uninterrupted, encompassing all the Aeolian Islands in a breathtaking vista that changes color with every hour of the day.
