Seaside Home for Sale in Italy – Historic Villa with Sea View in Lipari, Aeolian Islands

Located less than 100 metres from the sea on the island of Lipari in the Aeolian Islands, this historic seaside home for sale in Italy offers sea views, a private garden, and a swimming pool. The villa enjoys a prime position near the historic centre of Lipari, with its narrow streets, restaurants, and shops, as well as the well-known Porto della Genti (Portinenti) beach. The main port, which connects the island to Sicily and the other Aeolian Islands, is just over one kilometre away, making travel and access convenient.

The property measures approximately 373 m² (4,014 sq ft) and features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged over two floors.
On the ground floor, there is a spacious living room, a kitchen with its original oven, a study, one bedroom with direct access to the porch, a laundry room, and various storage spaces, including a tool shed. The courtyard beside the villa still features traditional tools once used for pressing olives and grapes, including an original masonry millstone, which serves as a reminder of the property’s agricultural history.
The first floor has three bedrooms, all with balconies—two of which open onto a large panoramic terrace with views over the sea, Portinenti beach, Monte Rosa, and the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew.

This late 18th-century villa is recognised as a protected historic property under the Regional Decree of the Assessor of Cultural and Environmental Heritage of Sicily. The building is in habitable condition and retains many original elements such as period flooring, and also has solid wood window frames with double glazing. While fully functional, the property would benefit from modern updates to meet current lifestyle standards.

The 4,100 m² (1 acre) Mediterranean garden includes palms, olive and pine trees, along with a small citrus and fruit orchard producing oranges, lemons, almonds, walnuts, tangerines, and mulberries. In the centre of the garden sits a 10 × 5 m above-ground swimming pool. Water is supplied by two cisterns connected to the municipal aqueduct, one for domestic use and the other for irrigation.

The villa has two entrances: a pedestrian entrance at the front leading through the garden, and a vehicle access point at the rear.
This combination of location, size, and heritage makes it ideal for both a private coastal home and a potential holiday rental investment in one of Italy’s most beautiful island destinations.
