The island where time stands still

The island where time stands still



Alicudi is the most remote and unspoiled island in the Aeolian archipelago, a place out of time where nature rules and silence has a voice. No cars, no paved roads: only ancient paths, stone mule tracks and breathtaking views. Exploring the surroundings of La Casa della Roccia means embracing the essentials, walking slowly and being surprised.

Hiking and scenic trails


Harp Wire - The summit of Alicudi
A fascinating and challenging route leads to the top of the island, more than 600 meters above sea level. From here the gaze is lost among the waves, touching Salina, Filicudi and, on clear days, even Mount Etna. A regenerating walk among wild grasses, dry stone walls and ancient silences.


Paths to forgotten districts
Ancient trails depart from La Casa della Roccia and reach abandoned districts, cultivated terraces and hidden viewpoints, ideal for those who love to walk and discover.

Pristine beaches and crystal clear sea


Bazzina Beach
One of the quietest bays on the island, easily reached on foot. Here the sea is transparent, the volcanic sand welcomes steps and the waters offer some of the most impressive snorkeling in the Mediterranean. A perfect spot for a rejuvenating dive.

Snorkeling among the volcanic seabed
The coast of Alicudi is a paradise for sea lovers: seabeds rich in life, plays of light among the rocks and absolute silence. Swimming here is like entering a natural aquarium, far from boats and confusion.



Authentic places to discover

Church of San Bartolo
A small white jewel set in the rock, 300 meters above sea level. Built in 1821, the church is a place of silence and spirituality, from which there is a spectacular view of the sea.

Contrada Pianicello
An out-of-the-box reality: here lives a small, self-sufficient community that has chosen a slow lifestyle, in contact with nature. Walking among the stone houses and cultivated gardens is a plunge into a parallel world.

Authentic local experiences

Dinners with locals
Upon request, you can enjoy a unique experience: eating with local families. Simple and tasty dishes, prepared with garden ingredients and fresh fish, served on terraces overlooking the sea, accompanied by stories, sea stories and sincere smiles.
