The House of the Almond tree-Libeccio is as beautiful as shown in the pictures, from the patio you can actually enjoy the spectacular sight of the vulcano! In addition, the place has all the necessary comforts and amenities. Gabriele is the perfect host, he makes a point that his guests have the best possible stay in his beloved island. And certainly he succeeded with my daughter and me!
For your daily shopping, here are a few tips. The two most well-known groceries are located near the church of San Vincenzo (that can be reached from the house after a steep stretch) and in Marano (at a 10-min walk). Unfortunately, their opening hours are rather inconvenient as they close at 1 PM, re-open at 4:30 PM and close again at 8 PM. My unconditionate preference goes to a more recently opened grocery, called Alex and Nancy, located in Via Roma (the main street of Stromboli) as they are open around the clock, sell their own products (try their cherries if you have a chance!) and are particularly friendly.
