Very peaceful stay in a very isolated region of Italy. Antonietta met us off the boat to walk us up to the apartment (no roads!) and gave us a whistle-stop tour of the village's two shops and single open restaurant (others are open earlier in the season). It's a beautiful 200 year old house and Antonietta happily took us through some of its history when we arrived.

We arrived on the last night of the season for the village's only open restaurant, but cooking from the outdoor kitchen overlooking the ocean the following nights was incredible. Make sure you do the short hike up to the Sciara del Fuoco viewpoint.

With poor weather forecast for the morning of the day of our departure, there was the risk that the boat wouldn't moor at the small dock: Antonietta kindly arranged a room for us on the other side of the island in Stromboli to ensure we got off successfully - a wonderful host! We would happily return to Mariangelica's House.
