Alicudi is a dream and staying at Gianni & Lucia’s place was a perfect choice. The property is ruggedly beautiful and full of character and of course, it also has spectacular views. Amenities are basic but you have absolutely everything you need. The location is a perfect base for spending a few days (next time we’ll stay longer 😍) on the island. It’s very close to the only bar on the island, the fisherman’s house (Silvio), the port and the island’s only two grocery shops.
Waking up early and sitting on either of the terraces was a daily ritual and an evening glass of wine on the terrace, after challenging hikes up and around the island, was another part of our routine.
On arrival, we were surprised to see some construction going on at the port (it began that day- and without warning for the locals) but in the end, it could not take away from the endless beauty of the island. The construction workers actually made pretty good progress in the three days we were there, so hopefully they’ll be finished soon. Just check the status with the hosts.
Lucia and Gianni went out of their way to accommodate us and staying on Alicudi was a real highlight of our honeymoon. We will be back!
