We had a superb stay at Ivano's beautiful House of Dreams. We wanted a good location for four days on Stromboli, easily accessible from the port, with a nice terrace to enjoy the warm days and enough room for our little almost 2-year-old to roam around. We got all that and more: the location is right in the heart of Stromboli town, with easy access to beach, a short walk to the town playground, a shop right around the corner and a super pizza place right down the street that Ivano kindly showed us. The flat is on two levels, but access to different levels is easy. Of course the weather was great, so the whole outdoor space felt like an extra room for us. Ivano was waiting for us and guided us to the house, and provided great info about where to eat and also helped me book a great hike up the volcano at sunset with Stromboli Adventures, and equipment rental at the shop Quota 900 around the corner. He's a great host, not imposing but friendly, and truly caring about if everything was ok. Ivano lives next door to the downstairs room of the house, so it's easy to contact him. He also arranged a baby cot for Laura which was a big help. Wi-fi connection was terribly slow, but enough for email and some social media. If we ever return to beautiful Stromboli, we would love to stay at Ivano's again. Like I said – a superb place!
