Alicudi is a deeply special place and Antonio and Maria evidently put their whole hearts into making people feel comfortable and connected to the beauty of the island while staying there.
Waking up next to a panoramic view of the Tyrrhenian sea - the best ocean view I have ever experienced - is something that helps you understand the landscape of myth and legend, fitting given that these islands are named after and supposed home to Aeolus, divine keeper of the winds in Greek mythology.
Antonio and Maria took such good care of my friend and I, and the accomodation is clean, spacious and colourful. It is everything that you want to come home to after big and physical days of hiking and swimming around the island.
Hope to stay at the Casa Gelsomino again one day soon.
