We had a lovely time in Marcello’s place in Salina. His father Roberto very kindly picked us up from the ferry and took us back when we left. He was always on hand if we needed anything and we found it very useful to take up the offer of car hire. The outside space at the house was stunning and we had a very good view of the Stromboli eruption which took place while we were there. It was very hot but we were able to cool off at a few of the many beautiful beaches.
