We booked Michelangelos villa on the strength of the terrace view and it didn't disappoint - you would never grow tired of it. The villa is very clean and well appointed - the only disappointment for us was the bed should I was bigger than a single but not a double - our 2 teenage daughters struggled to be comfortable in it. Michaela was brilliant throughout our stay, she is so well connected on the island that she effortlessly sorted out a boat for us to sail around the island in - well worth doing as the snorkelling is much better around the island - the harbour is not clear and had loads of jelly fish. She arranged the mules for our luggage - a must given the 100's of steep steps up and down to the harbour . Michaela also recommended the walk to the top and over to the other side of the island - brilliant - at the top it suddenly felt like we were in Scotland as the temperature dropped and the landscape changed. We had wanted to buy local fish and cook for ourselves, not eat in the restaurants in the harbour - the first night this was possible and fab but after that the sea got too choppy to fish and no veg/fruit was able to come ashore so our food was seriously limited - if we went again we would take a full cold bag of food! It was special spending 4 days on an island with a very different way of life to our own - some of the locals were welcoming ..... We would recommend a trip to Alicudi and definitely to Michelangelos - his communication throughout was fab Thank you!
