Words cannot adequately express the magic of both Alicudi and specifically Gil’s Dream. The wild beauty of The island was immediately evident upon arrival where Michaela immediately recognized & greeted us, making us feel instantly at home. After shopping for groceries and water, we made the trek up to the house, which is even better in person. Each room is simple and lovely with an incredible view of the sea and other islands in the archipelago. The kitchen was my favorite - beautiful tiles and well stocked with everything I needed to make delicious meals for my mom and three teen sons. We swam and snorkel during the day, & came home for dinner & playing cards on the balcony overlooking the water. Michaela is a great host, she communicates quickly & anticipates everything you might need. We can’t wait to come back!
