Ivano is very nice to call us on the morning that we check out about the ferry being cancelled due to storm. He offered us to stay another night for fee, but we took the last ferry back to town.....it was a crazy ride, we should have stayed another night! The place is close to the pier and a basic place to stay if you want to visit Stromboli. We hiked all the way up to the top of the mountain....and the view is beautiful. The black sand beach is very unique too.
