Vogue's Guide to Aeolian Island Airbnbs for a Remote Italian Holiday

Vogue has published a guide to seven Airbnbs across the Aeolian Islands, a volcanic archipelago off Sicily known for crystalline waters, black sand beaches, and rugged terrain. The islands—Lipari, Salina, Vulcano, Stromboli, Panarea, Filicudi, and Alicudi—are a UNESCO World Heritage site and a haven for in-the-know Italians seeking a slower pace. The guide features properties ranging from a tiny home in the sky on Alicudi (Casanelblu, from $186/night) to a luxe group stay on Panarea (Il Frantoio, from $1,843/night). Each listing includes amenities, room counts, and location details, emphasizing indoor-outdoor living, privacy, and access to beaches or volcanic hikes. The guide highlights that Filicudi and Alicudi offer the most seclusion (no cars on Alicudi), while Lipari is the largest and most populous. Activities include swimming, snorkeling, hiking active volcanoes on Stromboli and Vulcano, and sampling local cuisine like granita and Malvasia wine.
