Description

Property 1651263780 - Salina - Aeolian Arcipelago - Sicily

6 Bedrooms - Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Escape from everyday life at this charming six-bedroom retreat found on the island of Salina, the second-largest and lushest of the islands in the Aeolian archipelago, which lies off the coast of northern Sicily. Offering incredible sea views, Salina is dotted with caper bushes, olive trees and vineyards, and Property 1651263780 is close to the tiny hillside town of Malfa. Of all the islands, Salina is one of the best places to base yourself, as it offers both beautiful scenery and the archipelago’s nicest retreats.

Consisting of strikingly beautiful volcanic cliffs separated by inlets, sometimes quite deep, the Aeolian Islands are unique for their extraordinary rock formations and volcanoes, and for their history. The islands attract hordes of visitors every summer who come to bathe and dive, yet despite the crowds, each island somehow manages to preserve its own individual character. Dominating the islands, especially in winter, is the sea, with migratory birds nesting on the cliffs, and frequent storms.

You will find superb swimming and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters off the dramatic volcanic sand or pebbly beaches. Salina offers a relaxing lifestyle with a much slower pace of life compared to the more frenetic Italian city destinations, and an excellent culinary tradition of fresh, local products. There are plenty of family-run restaurants offering delicious menus, and where time seems to have slowed down on the island, your natural energy resources will be replenished as you give yourself over to island life.

While the eating and drinking here are divine, Salina’s greatest pleasure might be a moped ride to towns like the port of Santa Marina Salina, with its namesake cheery yellow church and docks lined with fishing boats; the rocky, waterside Lingua, or the quaint village of Pollara, where much of the iconic Massimo Troisi’s movie “Il Postino”, the tale of Pablo Neruda’s exile, was filmed. The villa is in the pretty hamlet of Malfa, on the North coast of the island, which has its own harbor for renting boats.

The Property. With breathtaking panoramic views capturing both the infinite blue sky and the glittering Mediterranean Sea, Property 1651263780 boasts a history of once being a Financial Police barracks and, according to some sources, also a former convent.
