Food scene

If you enjoy eating fresh seafood while admiring the beautiful sea view I can recommend Da Lauro located in the borough of Acquacalda, just a few minutes of scenery drive from Casa Zuleika. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. During high season I would advise to book ahead.

The Sanctuary of Maria Santissima della Catena di Lipari is located in the hamlet of Quattropani, in the northern part of the island. It is also known as the Old Church and its construction dates back to 1588. The building is characterised by its architectural simplicity and essentiality, but also by the white color of its facade. Inside there is an oil painting on canvas from the 18th century and a wooden statue of Our Lady of the Chain from the same period. The area where the Sanctuary is located is also one of the most panoramic points of Lipari. From here you can enjoy a privileged view of Salina and the other Aeolian Islands.

Kaolin Quarries- The Cave di Caolino can be reached by foot from Casa Zuleika. The kaolin quarries of Lipari are one of the most suggestive places of the whole island. From here you can enjoy one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Aeolian Islands and admire nature in all its amazing colors. To make your visit unique, you can buy the basket prepared by Tenute Castellaro to enjoy a romantic aperitif at sunset.What is kaolin? Kaolin is a sedimentary rock consisting primarily of kaolinite, an aluminum-hydroxylated mineral. It was first identified in 1709 by the German alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger. This discovery made it possible to develop a porcelain recipe with a quality comparable to Chinese porcelain. The name kaolin comes from the Chinese region of Gaoling, which had a thriving porcelain industry as early as the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). It was from this area that the French Jesuit François Xavier d’Entrecolles sent the first objects made of this extraordinary material to Europe in the early 18th century. Kaolin is used in so many industrial processes: from construction to food to pharmaceuticals.
