Villa Didyme is a small gem of Aeolian architecture hidden in the heart of Malfa. All bedrooms feature a finely decorated ensuite bathroom with a shower and a private sea-view terrace with direct access to the garden. The villa's interiors are designed with playful and inviting combinations, making the spaces unique and distinctive. The refinement and delicacy of Santo Stefano di Camastra ceramics, a true ode to Sicilian culture, harmoniously merge with the eccentricity of some furniture pieces and fabrics. Adorning the walls are various works by contemporary Italian artists, thanks to the collaboration with the Milanese art gallery Fabbrica Eos. The welcoming dining room of Villa Didyme plays on the contrast between the black and white checkered floor and the wood of the built-in kitchen, echoing the ceiling beams and cedar table. From the dining room, direct access is available to the porch and garden. The exterior of the property is a small treasure in the heart of Malfa. From the Aeolian terrace with a sea view, perfect for a leisurely breakfast or a sunset aperitif, to the effervescent garden filled with flowers and citrus trees, and the pool reflecting the colors of the sky, everything is designed to make the most of outdoor living. Reading in the shade, sunbathing with your favorite music in your ears, a relaxed dinner with the typical flavors of the Aeolian Islands, or a coffee at one of the tables crafted by the skilled hands of our blacksmith using antique cement tiles recovered during the renovation works; these are just a few of our ideas, and we are eager to discover yours.

Le Vigne is a new concept of luxury hospitality. Comfort and details are aligned to the highest standard of a glamourous 5 stars hotel, but within the cozy atmosphere of a private mansion that really does not look like a traditional hotel. Le Vigne is a 18th century noble farmhouse, rich in charme, hosting 6 suites. The precious and ancient materials make the atmosphere authentic, evocative and touching. The furnishings combine historic furniture and design elements, ancient and modern books and artistic photos, resulting in a refined elegance and authenticity. Each room and bathroom is different from the others and offers a unique and independent environment. The courtyard is magical, with paths of pergolated vineyard, the vegetable garden, the sky-colored swimming pool and the technogym fitness space. A unique 300-years old maritime pine reminds of ancient times and unrevealed secrets. The property hosts a private collection of books, including some pieces made available by the Cesare Pavese Foundation, some historical pieces from the private library of the Ravone Anfossi family and others from the private collection of the owners. In the suites and in the common areas, there is an exhibition of works from a private collection of B&W photographic paintings, depicting glimpses of ancient and modern Rome and artistic nudes. Le Vigne is fully plastic free, everything placed in the Estate is made of glass, paper, ceramic or natural fabrics. Two water filtering devices allow to use tap water, served in glass bottles or glasses. Sustainability is a key word: the produce comes from the vegetable garden and all the products at the estate are selected 'walking distance' from local producers who are the pride of Italian food excellence. The property is located on a gentle hill, walking distance from Santo Stefano Belbo, a lively village which was home to the iconic writer Cesare Pavese. From the cascina you can fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, rich in vineyards (mainly Moscato) and woods: you can walk the trails or ride up and down the hills, but also enjoy a modern and lively cultural and artistic offer. The stunning hills offer a wide range of outdoor sport and are the truly 'kingdom' of biking. Bikes can be rented locally, including e-bikes for family tours. Le Vigne is also the perfect place for yoga retreats and meditation. By car is the best way to reach the place and wander around the surroundings to take full advantage of the food and wine or the cultural offerings of the entire Langhe, Roero and Monferrato region. For sports, walks or small errands in the village you can also move easily by bike, preferably an ebike. Le Vigne is recommended for customers seeking a new dimension of 'luxury retreat', where time moves slowly, details matter and everything is tailor made. CIN IT004213B9JT9FD2PI
