My friend and I spent three nights on Alicudi in Angelo's house. Alicudi is really a very special unique place. Angelo's house is right by the sea: just one step and you are swimming or sunbathing, two minutes walk and you are in Bar or in little (but very good) shop, and also port is easily accessible with luggage without any help of mules). Walter (who waited for us the day we came and opened the house) is a very nice and helpful person (just like all the other inhabitants).
BUT THERE WERE SOME ASPECTS THAT NEARLY SPOILED OUR STAY:
- house really needs some renovation, we love simple living and simple houses, but not ragged!!!
- can not forget that AWUFUL DISGUSTING SMELL that came from the shower sewage!!!! It was all over the house!!!
- behind the house there is Enel station (Italian energy company) that produces electricity for the whole island; and when wind blows from that direction all house, terrace and even nearest coastline is full with such unpleasant smell of gasoline or something!!!! and that smell is so strong that we was not able to open the windows or sit on the terrace and got the headache!!!!

So... Even if Angelo, Walter are very nice and helpful, I would NEVER stay in this house again and would never recommend my friends...
Next time visiting Alicudi I' ll stay in house high above and far from the Enel station and port.
