We only had 2 nights with Claudio and his brothers but wished we had more. Paolo picked us up from the hydrofoil in town and we got our first taste of the warmth that infused our stay. The apartments are high up in the sky with the most amazing views that are almost unimaginable. It's hard to do more than just keep looking at the panorama! If you want to do your own thing and keep to yourself this is totally respected and privacy is paramount. But if you want to reach out eg have breakfast or dinner cooked for you and served on the deck you will receive a level of hospitality hard to find elsewhere. The food was incredible and Claudio is so charismatic that you couldn't hope for a better evening! We loved the apartments - typically Aolian with the comfiest of hammocks! It's a great spot for taking a walk into town - about 4 kms I think - or going for a longer walk around the fascinating countryside. Nothing was too much trouble. It was one of our favourite stays in Sicily. We couldn't recommend it more highly.
