In a dominant and panoramic position directly overlooking the sea, with one of the most beautiful sea views in the entire Mediterranean, the "Old Postman's Rustic House" is a property of extremely rare availability on the market and a sure real estate investment. Visible from the sea, nestled between two rocky cliffs that frame one of the most beautiful and famous bays in the Mediterranean, the "Postman's Rustic House" preserves the memory of an island of bygone times. It was in the mid-nineteenth century that the stone warehouse was built to facilitate the inhabitants of Pollara in supplying themselves with food and goods of all kinds. At that time, to reach the cluster of houses located in the volcano's caldera, the only access road was a steep mule track that made the transport of any goods very arduous and tiring. So it was decided to build, a few meters from the beach, a place for storing goods that had easy access from the sea. Abandoned to the elements for years, in 2000 it was bought by an island lover, who, following careful conservative restoration, has made it one of the most extreme and fascinating buildings in the Aeolian Islands and the Mediterranean. Without electricity, only supplied with candles and gas lamps (although the electrical system is already prepared), or it is sufficient to install two solar panels, with water arriving by gravity from the public aqueduct, the Postman's Rustic House is built on two floors for a total of approximately 35 square meters: on the lower floor, the double bedroom with WC, on the upper floor, a small three-burner kitchen with ceramic countertop and a gas refrigerator, two single beds and a small window with a breathtaking view of the island of Filicudi. This "stone refuge" exudes a primordial charm. The view of the bay, the richness of its sunsets, the sound of the waves (the same ones that Massimo Troisi recorded for his "master" in the unforgettable film "Il Postino") still make it a place of rare beauty today. The two rooms are connected by the old external staircase carved into the rock.
