Our stay up at Casa Mare was incredible, the best way to experience a simpler life! Hiking 40 minutes to our bed each night made the amazing view from the terrace all the sweeter to see.
Inside you’ll find a beautifully simple setup with bed, mosquito net, cooking utensils, outside shower and a well for drinking, showering etc.
The house is in a great position to explore the interior of the island, all the way up to the volcano crater where the original historic town and church can be found. And yet not too far from the sea and the shops, to enjoy days at the beach.
When we first arrived off the ferry we were greeted and shown to the shop to buy our groceries. The shop is well stocked with cupboard foods and some local fresh products (the oven baked goats ricotta is a must). Do remember to bring your own suncream and a headlamp.
There is a great pack-mule service you can use for heavy items (about 30 euros to the house) but carrying your own pack up on the first night definitely makes the following days seem easier.
Fell in love with the place and people, will be returning soon!
