This splendid dwelling, set for over four hundred years among the rocks of Piscità, is located in Via Regina Elena, lying on a clifftop overlooking "Scalo dei Balordi", a cove that opens between two high basalt walls and that represents one of the most beautiful beaches of Stromboli, famous for its appearance in some scenes of the famous film "Stromboli" by Roberto Rossellini, starring Ingrid Bergman. The house is one of the very few that enjoys direct access to the sea through a staircase that leads from the covered patio of one of the terraces down to the beach, while on the mountain side stands 'Iddu', the Stromboli. The architectural style is typical of Aeolian rurality, composed of cubic, linear forms and sharp colours that blend harmoniously with the landscape, such as the white of the external plaster and the cobalt blue of the doors, windows and tiles. The structure of the house has remained the same as it was originally, as can be seen by comparing the current elevation with the engravings made by Archduke Louis Salvator of Austria. In 1876 he depicted the house and the beach below in his 'Die Liparischen Inseln', although over the years it has been skilfully maintained, renovated and adapted to contemporary requirements. The property is arranged on two levels: the entrance opens onto the property's garden, a unique natural environment composed of cacti, prickly pears, bougainvilleas, olive trees, fig trees, wild flowers and a beautiful reed grove bordered by an archaeological wall of huge stones, which contrasts with the moonscape of the beach in front. Beyond the lush garden there is the first of 'Casa Claudia's' panoramic terraces, facing Strombolicchio, which offers the possibility to fully enjoy the island's charms away from the prying eyes of bathers. From the panoramic terrace, a hallway leads to a covered patio, the so-called 'bagghiu', in perfect Aeolian style, from which there is access to the large living area and the kitchen, with the old oven and rural loft. On the ground floor we also find two of the bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom with Jacuzzi; on the upper floor, accessed by an open staircase, we find two more bedrooms and a second bathroom. To complete the property there are two further rooms, which can be used for a variety of purposes, and a third bathroom. Many of the rooms have high-quality Sicilian majolica tiles from the 1960s.
The layout of the rooms, the square footage, the multiple entrances, the distribution of space and the two cisterns ensure that the villa can easily be used for accommodation purposes or as a holiday home for a large group. The villa is in excellent condition and is ready to be lived in immediately.

Aeolian Islands: Location and surroundings of this property
Stromboli is the most northerly of the Aeolian Islands, close to the Sicilian Tyrrhenian coast. It is just over an hour's boat ride from Milazzo, two hours from Messina, the provincial capital, and is also well connected to the ports of Naples, Tropea, Reggio Calabria, Palermo and Capo d'Orlando, from which ferries and hydrofoils depart throughout the year. A further possibility of access to the island is offered by the landing strip for helicopters, which is located at Ficogrande, on the seafront. The island covers little more than 12 square kilometers and is home to the only European volcano in permanent eruptive activity, Stromboli, also known as "Iddu", which for its incredible and suggestive paroxysms along the so-called Sciara del Fuoco, earned the island the nickname of "Lighthouse of the Tyrrhenian Sea". Stromboli has a population of little more than 400 inhabitants, the main inhabited villages are San Vincenzo with the landing place of Scari, and the areas of Piscità and Ficogrande and, to the south-west, reachable only by sea, Ginostra, populated by about 30-40 inhabitants, where people still move by mules along small roads and stairways that go up the cliff. Just 1.5 kilometres from Stromboli is the Scoglio dello Strombolicchio, Stromboli's oldest volcanic cone, now exhausted, which is only a few hundred metres from the mainland and is home to a solar-powered lighthouse, behind which the sun rises every morning. The area in which 'Casa Claudia' is located is Piscità, in the northern part of the island, characterised by numerous suggestive coves of black volcanic sand. Piscità is undoubtedly the most exclusive and renowned area of Stromboli, and has always been a summer destination for well-known personalities of the international jet set, actors, politicians and representatives of the major high-fashion houses. In particular, Scalo dei Balordi is a small beach of fine black sand, isolated but easily reached by a fifteen-minute walk from the hydrofoil pier. Always considered an enchanted oasis, it has been the favorite setting of great artists and great loves, such as J. Wegner's love for painting as well as the love affair between two giants of cinema, Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman, who shot the famous film 'Stromboli' on these shores in 1949, falling in love and spending the first periods of their tormented love affair on the island.
