Silvana is an amazing host. She came to pick us up from the ferry terminal, showed us "our" home for the next few days and communicated promptly despite the language barrier. It's a beautiful place- even better than the photographs- renovated, clean with all amenities like a small kitchen with pans and pots and a small fridge to allow you to make some meals if you wish. The bed is very comfortable and the shower has hot water(so important after the hike to Stromboli). There are also outdoor showers in the common courtyard as well as some loungers to relax in the afternoon heat. It is also brilliantly located- the mini-supermarket is steps away, magmatrek a 10 minute walk, as are many restaurants and gelataria. The marina is a two minute walk. In short, it's amazing, you won't regret it!
