I did not get the room I paid for. I advise you to check carefully before booking. Despite other positive comments, I have to tell the truth. I booked in March and on 2 occasions Antonio promised to meet me at the port to take us to the lodgings. After 3 phone calls when we arrived, he finally answered and said I was a week early ( later he accepted he was wrong). As everything was fully booked on the island (including ferries if we wanted to leave) he found us another place for 3 nights in an isolated spot but he lent us a very old car. I recognise he was trying to put right the mistake he had made. We stayed in Chantal's place, she was helpful and nice, but even with the loan of an old car, the quality of what we were given did not correspond to what we had paid for. For the last night in Vulcano, we were taken to Chantal's daughters house which was in fact where we should have stayed in the first place but we stayed in the main house where the staff live. We were offered coffee in the morning and got many apologies. In short, organisation was awful, efforts were made to lodge us reasonably but we had to change places in our stay and did not get what we paid for. Even though a car was tent to us for part of our stay, we paid quite expensively for inferior accommodation quality. My advice is to check extremely carefully with the host before committing yourself and to check afterwards. I accept that Antonio tried to make the best of a bad job but if it had been possible, I would have asked for my money back and gone back to the mainland. On Vulcano in August this is not a realistic option. Antonio said that this sort of problem had never happened before. He was genuinely sorry for his mistake I think. However, I wish it had not happened to me and hope it does not happen to you. You are in a better position than me to act accordingly.
