The Casa Mare is amazing! Raphael and his mother were welcoming me with open arms. They waited for me on the port, showed me the grocery shop, helped me organizing the donkey that brought my luggage up to the house and finally went up with me the the house. Climbing up the stairs to the house for the first time is a truly exceptional experience! The view alone is worth the sweat and once we arrived at the house I knew already that I will certainly come back to Alicudi a second time! Since there are no cars on the island, the air is extremely clean and the nature is untouched. The house is perfect for individuals or couples that look for deep relax, solitude and serenity! The electricity in the house comes from the solar panels on the roof and is sufficient to recharge mobile phones and laptops as well as to have lamps in the night. The atmosphere is just gorgeous! Absolutely recommendable! Thank you for everything and I will certainly come back to Alicudi!
