This lovely place feels a bit off the beaten path and that’s why it is so special. It’s bohemian vibe is organic to the island’s laid back ways. Expertly designed with details including maiolica tiles, faded wall frescos, enchanted gardens, authentic hanging chile ristras, all combine with other genuine Aeolian features to create an atmosphere that harkens back to previous millennia. The Airbnb provided a very comfy room-apartment with strong A/C and well supplied bathroom. Guests have the option of showering inside or/and can delight in the openair thermal water showers outside. We liked our kitchen setup & outdoor patio area which included a table with chairs and personal enclosed garden. It is a wild volcanic island after all so don’t forget your bug-spray. Upon arrival at the port, we couldn’t reach anyone from the Casa for a ride but friendly locals showed us the way. After a seafood lunch overlooking the bay, near the port, we were guided to an ATV rental spot up the street. Which we immediately realized (ATV) would be the perfect means for transportation, on a small island such as Vulcano. The freedom and mobility provided by the quad rental, made the trip. Paolo the shop owner treated us better than family and his staff guided us to our bnb! The only thing is, I wish I had more time to explore and enjoy the Casa grounds before leaving because the setting truly feels other worldly. We were able to say hello and get to know some of the other guests staying in the neighboring apartments, which really felt like mini private villas. The bnb just seemed to be populated with very cool people from around the world. On the morning of our departure, the hosts gave us a warm farewell and final ride to the port. Overall, Casa Genovese is awesome!
