We stayed here for a week in late September. Communication was very prompt. The owners collected us at the ferry which was good. We liked the house which is a 1920s house in the Aeolian style with very high ceilings and wooden shutters which is useful when its hot outside. Everything was clean and worked incl. the kitchen - we cooked every evening. Lovely terrace to sit in the shade and read. All shops supermercato pasticcheria butcher and a good fishmonger are around the corner. The harbour is 10 min and I bought fresh fish there as well. The bus stop is also round the corner - we did not rent a car which was absolutely fine. The beach is also near with a great beach bar that does superb granita and panini and you can rent an ombrelloni and something to sit on as the beach is rocky. We loved this and had a great week here excellent hosts who cooked us dinner on the last evening.
