Julia and Richard’s place is an indescribable gem - you have to experience it to fully appreciate it’s miraculous beauty. From the get-go, Julia and Richard were extremely helpful in planning our arrival and once we got there, navigating the wonders of the island. Julia’s communication is impeccable! She always responded immediately and went above and beyond. Julia and Richard are extraordinary hosts and instantly made us feel welcomed.
We loved going back to the basics, disconnecting from the modern world and reconnecting with nature. Julia and Richard have and continue to put such care, dedication and love into the land and Caseta Zanca. Every detail of the eco-cabin was thought out and executed with such precision and perfection. The garden terraces surrounding Caseta Zanca, which Julia and Richard cultivated with their own hands, are exceptional.
As Julia had mentioned to us in advance, it was a long climb up to the house from the water. Every time we climbed the hundreds of steps to get back to the oasis, we could appreciate the stunning view even more. We found this walk down and up to be energising and invigorating. The place is extremely clean, which is an impressive feat in Alicudi. Also, there is a fridge and ice, which is a real treat on Alicudi! One that only Julia and Richard could think of!
We highly recommend their place and without doubt, we will be back to visit our friends!
