Giulia's home was truly magical. It is everything you see from the pictures and more. The island is perfect for a get away from the world itself and other tourists. We felt as if we were in a cocoon of beauty, rest, ease of sun and sea. Giulia made sure our stay was supreme, and was kind, speedy, and generous in her feedback, helping us with logistics, giving us directions to hikes, planning dinners in fisherman's homes, and celebrating our engagement with a bottle of champagne that she had waiting for us. I felt like Giulia became a friend through our communication and fell in love with her home. Alicudi is not for the average tourist, and yet that is what makes it the best vacation spot ever. Everyone should experience the magic of Guilia's home.
