The first thing to say is that the house is wonderful and is located in a scenic spot on the island, facing Filicudi and above Bazzina beach.
To reach the house from the village you have to climb about 400 steps and walk a dirt path without lighting (20-30 minutes of effort repaid by the beauty of the place).
If you have luggage or some groceries the only way to bring them home will be to rent a mule in the village at a cost of 35 euros per trip (max 100kg per mule).
The house is rustic and spartan so some caution must be used: water must be rationed and conserved after showering or dishes, because the two toilets do not flush. One of the two toilets is outside in the garden and you are not allowed to throw paper in either of them.
The rooms are all separate from the house and on different levels, so to get from one to the other you have to climb stairs and walk outside.
Don't expect a "comfortable" house in the traditional sense, but be swept away by the charm of this magical, time-still place that will force you to slow down the pace of life and reconnect with nature.
Lastly, Elisabetta who takes care of the check in will know how to transmit you the love for the island and for this house, it was a pleasure to meet her.
