Carla's house on Filicudi is high up on the island with a breath-taking view of the sea. We were disappointed to discover that our first night, through some technical glitch, overlapped with the previous couple, but the house was big enough to split, and Carla, who was mortified, kindly refunded our first night. The house itself has two large terraces that made our morning coffee, and our dinners, absolutely wonderful. The house has numerous, very comfortable beds and there is beautiful artwork on the walls, including by contemporary Sicilian artists. The house itself, or its furnishings, could use some TLC. For example, the light in the downstairs bathroom above the sink didn't work, and surprisingly, in an otherwise well-furnished kitchen, there weren't any wine glasses. Or at least we couldn't find any. The terrace/patio furniture is old and more than a bit weathered, especially on the upper terrace. But otherwise the house is near perfect. The matrimonial bedroom was a dream, with a small balcony to die for, the kind of room you could read in for hours. You will need a car or a moped to get around, as the house is pretty high up on the island, but it's well worth it. All in all, I think it would be difficult to find a more beautiful house on Filicudi. Also, a special thanks to Davide, who made check-in seamless. Thanks, Carla! We definitely plan to be back any time we visit Filicudi!
