Our stay in Alicudi with Alessio was a great treat! If your idea of luxury is living simply in spectacular nature, beautiful setting, totally care free then Alessios place is for you. This is not a luxurious 5 star hotel in a classical sense. It is a charming old building with some fans, no air con. There might be some ants or the occasional spider in the well cleaned house as is natural with an old building. The luxury of this place lies in waking up and only hearing the sound of the ocean or sittting outside on the large terrace in the evening in front of the beach looking at the stars. Reading a book in the hammock in shaded terrace at the back of the house or snorkeling by the pebbled beach right in front of the house.
Alessio is a great host and introduced us to many people on the island. There is a large sense of community here and we were happy to be invited to share a simple meal with islanders and guest.
