Santa Marina Salina, Messina, Sicily, Italy

Just a few steps from the harbour and the heart of Santa Marina Salina, this elegant and private villa is situated in an elevated position, offering a captivating view of the Aeolian archipelago and, on clear days, Mount Etna.
The surrounding garden is a serene oasis, thoughtfully designed with simplicity and taste. Mediterranean plants, local flora, and natural stone pathways guide the eye toward the sea, while terraces, pergolas, and shaded patios create ideal spaces for enjoying the island throughout the year. The exteriors, crafted with balance, blend seamlessly with the landscape, evoking a sense of timeless beauty.
The architecture, in true Aeolian style, is both understated and elegant, with details such as pulere, masonry seating, handcrafted majolica tiles, and expansive openings that frame the breathtaking scenery.
The interiors echo this same refined simplicity, with natural materials like terracotta, wood, and stone creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every detail is thoughtfully chosen to enhance the villa's connection to its surroundings.
The villa is centered around a charming courtyard, the heart of outdoor living, with two independent living units opening onto it.
The main house welcomes you with a bright living area that seamlessly flows into a beautiful covered veranda, framed by white pulas that accentuate the panoramic views. The kitchen, crafted from brickwork, is adorned with hand-painted Neapolitan majolica tiles. Two bedrooms, a convenient storage room, and two bathrooms complete this unit. The warm, textured terracotta floors further enhance the stylistic harmony of the entire property.
The second unit, situated on a slightly higher level, has its own independent entrance. It includes a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Surrounding it, private terraces and vantage points offer some of the most breathtaking views of the archipelago, ensuring complete privacy and beauty.
The thoughtful layout of the rooms, the quality of the materials, and the seamless connection between interiors and exteriors make this property a true gem in the heart of Salina, ideal either as a private residence or an exclusive retreat for hospitality.
