Staying at Karola's place was wonderful. We were helped with everything we needed upon arrival at the beautiful village and told to drop by on her if we needed anything else. The house is beautiful, clean, comfortable and the best place to relax. In the morning the sun shines through the thatched shade making gorgeous patterns on the stone terrace. The house is perfectly placed to follow the route to the viewing point of the volcano, where you can see the lava rolling down Stromboli - or you can lie on the curved stone ledge and watch the red smoke rising on the horizon of Stromboli.
