The house is located uphill and has a stunning view of Stromboli and Panarea. It is a 10 minutes walk from the (small and nice) city center and port but the walk is quite uphill - so having a car may be a good idea if you need to bring 12 liters of water. The house is quiet, spacious and has a terrific terrace. We have stayed there during a cold April but i suspect the house to stay fresh during the very hot summers.
