Casa Gianni

Casa Gianni is towering above Alicudi port in a very convenient location just 50 meters away from the sea. It is easily accessible which you will appreciate especially on summer days as it allows you to return from the beach for as many siestas as you wish. Built over hundred years ago in a typical Aeolian rural style, it is one of the largest and, with its 4 independent terraces, one of the most spectacular houses on the island.

During the hot days the surrounding garden invites you to relax in a hammock and the terraces offer plenty opportunities to lay down and enjoy the soft breeze and lovely views of the other Aeolian islands. On clear days you can even see the snow-covered peak of Mt. Etna.

Ample barbecue space in the garden is also available for our guests’ use as is the communal upper terrace which is ideal for savouring a glass of wine and unforgettable late night star gazing.

Apartments

Casa Gianni offers 3 self-catering apartments, each apartment located on a different level of the house with its independent entrance and terrace.

The apartments are furnished with attention to detail and basic comfort whilst trying to reflect the original spirit of a typical Alicudi house.

The trip takes about 6 hours and the ticket is almost half the cost of the hydrofoil fare. It is a more scenic trip as you can enjoy the views of the other Aeolian islands you stop by – Vulcano, Lipari, Salina and Filicudi. You can check the times and fares at the same Siremar link.
