Our story

It was 2015 when one of us first set foot on the island. Since then, she never really left, leaving a piece of her heart and soul in this land of volcanoes and nature. The other followed, discovering as well this magical place. Year after year, the call of the island grew stronger—so strong that it brought with it the desire to make it their own, somehow, even without living there. 

2021. “Giovanni, do you happen to know anyone selling an Aeolian-style house, one of those old traditional ones?”. 
“Turn around,” he said. And there, behind us, hanging on the wall of his shop, was a photo of a terrace overlooking the sea, and a house nestled into the hillside. “That’s the house where my mother was born. It’s for sale. We’re not advertising it much—we’d like to find someone who truly loves this island. Would you like to see it?”

That’s how the idea for Casa Culia was born—a place to feel at home and connected to this land and the people who, over the years, have become close to us.

2025. We’re Giulia and Samantha, and this is our project.
