The other reviews are all pretty much spot on. If it were only for the views, the place would be worth it. We were there for way too short a time, and only met Claudio briefly, but his brother picked us up in town, and brought us up to the villa hours before normal check-in time and allowed to get settled early so we could get to exploring the island on the scooter that they rented to us quite cheaply. One thing I didn't realize until we were leaving: they have snorkel gear available. If you're going to a beach, or taking the boat to hike Stromboli, I'd ask to borrow it, as the water was beautiful. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast lovely with excellent and attentive service, shuttle back to the port was timely, etc. It's an amazing AirBnB experience, highly recommended!
