Belvedere overlooking the garden and all the islands intoxicated by the scents of herbs island.

It can be reached along a trail in 25 minutes. The inhabited part of the island is gradually behind, while the sea and vegetation violently take over. The older islanders still remember Zucco Grande inhabited. They say the quarter was the most beautiful women. Today ruins overlooking the sea, fashionable and timeless. Only the highest house is lived, and is a true paradise. ù

Imagine an architecture that seems to come from the mists of time, but also from the future. Imagine all the comforts and you think, for them, you’re not a particle of releasing CO2 into the air. The real luxury is sustainable. Imagine that this house was built on a donkey and helicopter has been shaped by the hands of the architect, Belquis Zahir, as if it were a sculpture. Imagine you shower with rain water and collect the salad, basil and vegetables from your garden. Imagine that there is no energy Zucco Grande and think you’re listening to music, taking a hot shower, turning the refined system illuninazione, only with the energy of the sun and wind (solar wind and a small shovel).

The plan of the house is typically filicudara: four rooms that open onto a terrace, whose cannizze are supported by strong columns. A fifth and wonderful room has been created in the old farm house rooms. The rooms are divided as follows: A fully functional kitchen, a lounge with couches, bookshelves and a stereo, a double bedroom, bathroom with shower turned into the old furnace and the fifth room (always with its own bathroom) independent. In this architecture will not find a straight line nor a sharp edge. Everything is polished, nothing stings. The showers are made from antique and traditional ovens under the tap of the tank, where water is collected, there is a basil plant and a watering can. Now look around: you’re overlooking the sea, the bow of a ship pointing west, towards the open sea. The “noise” of Filicudi far. Around the mountain overlooking the water, and falcons fly gabbianti. The sun rises in the east, illuminating the home of his fairy light, shadow drawing lines on the terrace sheltered by Cannizzo sets west, once again changing the color of the house (which during the entire day has been incredibly fresh ). And the night under the blanket of stars or the face of the moon, the sea will see the lights of the fishermen. Zucco Grande sort seems a house from the ground. The meeting between an artwork and a mud hut. is built in stone (been imagining the yard?) and covered with lime. Painted with a pigment from Belquis created just for this place. A land clear, irregular, chromatically unstable, reacting, adapting to light conditions.

“A’Scalunata” has characteristics typical of an old residential house filicudara type “master”, the Landscape Planning and Territorial identifies the island, along with a few others, such as building with art-historical character of particular value, subject a system of conservation and protection. It takes its name from the impressive staircase to the main terrace, is a stone staircase that unfolds with curved fan, descending from the old town pedestrian street toward the house.

The house is within walking distance from the car in a square where the carriage road has its end point. From the square you reach the entrance to the house about fifty yards down on the quaint old town pedestrian street. The sea can be reached by car or on foot at a time of 15 minutes in both cases. The footpath along the old trail is particularly attractive for the views it offers and for its healthy development easy steps immersed in the colors and scents of the island.

The large terrace (bagghiu) bordered by traditional bench (bisuolo) and columns (Pulere) masonry running along the entire facade of the house and on both sides, it reaches out free in the green countryside with panoramic views towards the sea Stimpagnato peak. The terrace, shaded by pagliarelle cane in Sicily, offering quiet corners to rest constantly attended by a pleasant breeze, aided by exposure to the southwest filicudari suggested by the ancient wisdom of the masters, but also points “solarium” reserved and protected.

The House has three main rooms online, a kitchen and a large bathroom, all rooms overlooking the main terrace which is also the natural connection element, as originally conceived as the epicenter of life and daytime activities.

Each room is furnished with a double bed, single bed with the possibility of adding another, dresser, bedside tables, wardrobe, table, all the furniture is old and largely hand-crafted Sicilian. Each room also has a small window placed near the floor that, because of the height of the ceilings, creates a perfect and a natural circulation of air conditioning of the premises. Contribute to maintaining a physiological temperature constant even the massive stone walls plastered that are the backbone of the house, as well as the evocative slabs on beams made of chestnut barrels with room plastered and terraced roof bar at the bottom on cobbled stone porous volcanic perfect insulator. The room also communicates with the inside bathroom, main room originally designed as “public” of the house has a floor covered with precious tiles from Santo Stefano di Camastra traditional floral pattern.

The pottery of Santo Stefano di Camastra, Sicily coast resort located right at the island of Filicudi and famous since ancient times for the handicraft production of ceramic material constituted the most prized and coveted by filicudari to decorate at least one representation room . Paving materials poor but of good appearance were colored concrete tiles with geometric patterns or single fund and the rough brick, the other two rooms in the house are paved with this material. The fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, also houses an antique wood-burning oven for bread made with stone fireplace and a vaulted roof which is a real monument to the skill of ancient building filicudari and a testimony of everyday life lived in these houses.

The floor of the terrace is still the traditional one original, the bottom bar and “oxidized” over time which gives a special rustic look that combines well with yellow occra facade. Hallmark of the old houses FILICUDI compared to the other islands, was the color of the facade and decoration with bands in relief with a different color than the bottom, the traditional colors used for the facades were more than the basic, achievable with land natural and lime: occra yellow, red brick, rust pyroclastic volcanic, pink, blue, natural white. The terrace is accessed through wrought iron gates, the surrounding lands, belonging to the house, filled with flowers, citrus, grapes, capers, figs, herbs typical of the island.

Although preservation of tradition, the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including features hot and cold water in abundance, independent of outside supplies, available from a vast reservoir of rainwater collected from roofs in the tank located below the terrace.

Completing the structure of the house still some underground rooms used as warehouses and agricultural laboratories, in one of these is the ancient stone millstone for crushing and pressing grapes and grape harvesting.
