Santa Marina Salina, Messina, Sicily, Italy

The property is located on a rise just outside the historic center of Santa Marina di Salina, in Via Belvedere, where the wonderful atmosphere of the Aeolian islands is stigmatized in the fragrances and colors of the landscape and architecture.
The villa is strongly influenced by the theme of the Aeolian house: an architecture of Greek-Roman influences and of ancient memory; situated in a panoramic and quiet position, it is structured on a small courtyard on which all the volumes are developed, creating a truly suggestive play of light and shadow. The residential units are designed to create independent spaces; at the entrance of the property we have the first one with living area and kitchen and a loft bedroom, followed by a large kitchen with traditional oven and adjoining bedroom with en suite bathroom and finally a last independent unit with open kitchen and bedroom with en suite bathroom. The composition is completed on the upper floor with a bedroom with en suite bathroom on a system of terraces and verandas. The strong points of this architecture are the system of terraces and verandas that form the so-called "bagghiu", with the "bisola", low walls that mark the boundaries of the terrace with tiled seats and which end in the famous "pulere" that support the canopied roofs. All this offers moments of immersion in the Aeolian context in privacy and tranquility.
