we were at Karola house with my 2 year old daughter. It's a rebuilt ancient house with a spacious room, very nice, basic but very comfortable, the kitchen is a separated room, also basic but superbly equipped for cooking pasta or prepare a great breakfast like the one we ate on the terrace covered by vegetation watching the sea every morning. The house is surrounded by a garden with local vegetation from which you can see the volcano (to see the fire you have to do a little tour of 20 minutes). The house is separated from the village, which makes it very quiet and lets you get into the island a little more, this walk is very pleasant and interesting and the heavy stuff (like water and luggage) can help them up the donkey that the owners has. There are another houses next to this but they are arranged so that there is enough privacy. A perfect place to go as a couple or with a small child, you will be surrounded by nature. And with a child fun is guaranteed because it has the donkey grazing nearby, cats that roam, lizards, fireflies, finally a great place.
Karola and Oily are people in love with the island and completely integrated in them for many years, Karola handled everything very effectively and easily, I gave all the information in a very simple and clear, it was nice to be in their house. I recommend for everyone who wants to experience the force of the nature in a volcanic island and still be very cosy.
