I had tears in my eyes when leaving Casa Gialla and saying good-bye to Bartolo and his family. As a solo traveler, they made me feel welcomed and cared for as soon as I booked my stay. Really that is all that you need to know, but I won't stop there. Casa Gialla is a beautiful property with all the best that the Aeolian Islands have to offer. There is a bus stop across the street that takes you to the center of town and you can walk to a number of other points of interest right from the property.
The property itself is beautiful and peaceful. You are surrounded by fruit trees and all the other produce Bartolo and his family grown on the property. The rooms are spacious, very clean and nicely decorated.
The biggest draw however is the warmth with which Bartolo and his family will welcome you to Casa Gialla and this what will stay with you long after you have departed. The breakfast was wonderful and if you have a chance to try their homemade wine - definitely do - it was wonderful.
Bottom line - I cannot recommend this place enough!
