The house is right at the shore, any closer to the water and it would have to be a boat. The house is decorated lovingly and with style, superb to make us feel welcome and at home. Also lots of cooking utensils and such. The real star is the terrace, or, better, the terraces - which you can choose from depending on sun and wind. It is the last house before the cliffs, very quiet. But it is only a short nice stroll into the village. Also, the bus leaves a few meters away to get around on the island, so no need to rent a car.
It seems that the "bay" in front of the house is also a favorite spot for boats to anchor, so you get your daily tv show during the day watching out onto the sea. Behind the house there is a hiking path into the mountains, very recommendable. The place is so nice that you immediately drop any plans for day excursions to any other of the eolian islands, as it is hard to imagine that you will find a nicer place...Be aware that there is no sandy beach in front of the house, but boulders which can be slippery and hot when climbing into the water. But really, the terrace is your beach. Also be aware of occasional jelly fish in the water!
A wonderful place to hang out, read, relax, do yoga, unwind, eat great sicilan food.
Practical stuff: Corradina was always very quick to answer and helpful in organizational matters, also in transportation. Simona, who takes care of the house, is very sweet and helpful and bought us food for the 1st night as we arrived late. She only speaks italian, and hand and feet. The house is very clean and well cared for.
Will go back in a minute. Recommended!!!
