We had a great stay at Ivano's place when we visited Stromboli for five days. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived and it's nicely decorated with pottery and other items from the Aeolian islands. It's also in a very convenient location - around the corner from a well-stocked supermarket and Lapillo (best place for gelato on the island), a few minutes from the port and our favorite restaurant - Ai Gechi. The kitchen is really well-equipped if you want to cook - though we ate out every evening. The terrace is a beautiful spot for escaping the sun and had basil, chili and mint plants, which guests can use. The sleeping area was comfortable and quiet. Ivano was very helpful, and provided us with lots of useful tips and recommendations. Would definitely come back.
