My friend and I stayed at Carlos's villa for 6 nights and it was truly wonderful. I was looking for a quiet, peaceful and gorgeous aeolian experience and my introduction to the islands, by way of Panarea, was just that. Carlo told me I'd fall in love with Panarea and I did.
His place was perfectly located as we wanted to walk during our stay. It was 1.2 km to town and 15 minutes the other direction to the sandy beach of Zimmari. If we chose to simply laze and enjoy our own local beach, villa Di Blasi was private and refreshing!
Constantine and Irina the villa caretakers were extremely helpful and kind especially since I speak no Italian! (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate and charades worked wonders. My suitcase was delayed in arriving and Constantine graciously retrieved it from the port for me. Many thanks!
Carlo spent much time and energy ensuring my booking was perfect. When I wished to extend my stay, he did everything in his power to find the perfect place within my budget. He had several rooms to rent and both the apartment and cute room were exactly as the pictures show!
Many thanks Carlo, I will be back!
Grazie!
