Eugenia is a great host and made us feel very welcome in her beautiful house. The view from the house is spectacular with the rocks of Dattilo and Basiluzzo right in front of Panarea and the volcano of Stromboli on the horizon. It is a wonderful place to spend a tranquil holiday and the house is beautiful and very tastefully decorated with a large garden.

Note that the house cannot be accessed directly by taxi - from the closest drop off point at 7 Mulini, it's a 5-10 minute uphill walk (sometimes steep) on a rough country path to reach the house. It is therefore not suitable for older or less mobile guests, however for those who love nature and a sense of adventure (a torch is essential at night!), walking the path to the house everyday makes for a fun and unusual experience.

The other point to mention is that the house is divided in different blocks which are not interconnected, so whereas the master bedroom has a beautiful en suite bathroom, to reach the other bathroom from the second bedroom you need to go outside, and to reach the living area and kitchen from the main bedrooms, you also need to go outside - this can be interesting if it's raining!

Overall, the house is an amazing retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its peaceful surrounding and stunning view make it a perfect retreat for nature lovers or for those who look for a tranquil break. We highly recommend Eugenia's house and hope to come back soon.
