The accommodation itself was nice, and the pool area in particular has beautiful views of the surrounding area. However, it was not made clear at the time of booking that vulcano island is more or less shut down due to increased volcanic activity. The mud baths have not been open for 3 years and it is not possible to climb the volcano. Given these are the two main attractions and there is little else to do on the island, guests might choose to delay their trip until the situation changes. In our case, we had spent a lot of time and money to get there so it was disappointing to find that what is still advertised on major Sicilian and Italian travel websites is out of date information.
