The house of Antonio is truly beautiful! It has a beautiful garden and terrace, many little details (mosaics, colored tiles, plants, cats..) to explore, you could easily spend a whole day just relaxing there. The rooms are nice and clean, we never used our own shower because of the amazing thermal outdoor showers!
The hike up to the Vulcano crater starts just a few meters behind the house and you are also not far from restaurants and stores. In 15min walking you will be at the black beach, in 10 at the port.
Antonio was very welcoming and we had a nice chat despite our utter lack of italian language skills :)
