Overview
Belquis Zahir, the award winning interior designer, restored and decorated this splendid Aeolian house for her own use, and the stunning result has since featured in several top architecture and design publications. Set in its own walled courtyard in a tiny hamlet high up the volcanic mountainside, with a terrace offering one of the finest views in the Aeolian islands, Belquis House offers Aeolian Chic with an unmistakable oriental influence. Unusually for an Aeolian house, it is also fitted with excellent modern bathrooms, kitchen and appliances. All in all, we think it’s one of the most desirable properties in the islands.

The Property
Inside: four connecting rooms on one level. From left to right: an excellent kitchen with plenty of space and great equipment, a living room with comfortable sofas (which can be used for sleeping), concert HiFi and large fireplace, a stylish bedroom with double bed, and a bathroom with shower made from the original Aeolian oven. Kitchen, living room and bedroom have access through wide doors to the terrace. On a lower level with separate entrance is a smaller bedroom with a double bed and bathroom.
Outside: a short walk along a picturesque footpath from the parking area brings you to the gate. Inside is a walled terrace with an enticing mixture of stone benches, wooden furniture and hammocks, mulled by the soft tones of the house and the olive trees. To the side of the house is a furnished area with truly spectacular views of all seven Aeolian Islands.
The Area
Filicudi is the larger of the two westerly Aeolian Islands, still unspoilt by tourism and far from being developed. There are three villages, offering a few restaurants, small shops, scooter, car and boat rental. There are no sandy beaches, but plenty of rocky coastal stretches and pebble beaches with wonderful swimming in crystal clear water.
Regular Hydrofoil and ferry services link Filicudi to the other Aeolian Islands.
