The communication with Antonietta runs through some agency, so the contact to the host os not direct, which makes the entire thing awkward...
The house with an out-door -kitchen and -shower, is on top of the village, offering a spectacular view over the sea! The room we stayed in had frescos on the ceiling and beautiful old furniture. The bed is the oldest piece and so, very uncomfortable.
Ginostra is a heaven for people who only want to relax, be away from moundanity surrounded by green and typical white eolian houses.
There is an access to the sea, it's all rocks. For me it was amazing, for elders may be too dangerous.
We ate at Nicola's Il Incontro, a restaurant and pension over the port. HIGHLY recommended.
When it rains, there is no place but your room... ... shops are very few and expensive. No fish-monger, which makes it all the more absurd. No access from there to the volcano, although the best view of eruptions from Punta Corvo. Shops to Stromboli, from where you can access the volcano, don't cost that much; only twice a day on high season.
