Vulcano is a breathtakingly beautiful island. And Antonio's place reflected and enhanced that beauty. The room, the gardens and the decorations are beautiful. I arrived on the ferry not feeling well. Vladimir and a beautiful blonde woman picked me up from the port, gave me a large bottle of water since it was hot and I was dehydrated and some chamomile tea for my stomach. I slept 11 hours and woke feeling much better. Vladimir checked on me a couple times to make sure I was well. I walked to the pharmacy close by and was given some stomach medication by the pharmacist and felt much better by the end of the day. Vladimir and the blonde speak very little English, but enough. Their native language is French. The trail up the volcano is very close and I managed to hike early in the morning on the second day. It was beautiful at the top, like you are on the moon but with a magnificent view. I did not go in the mud bath by the beach, but I did enjoy snorkeling at the beach, just renting a chair and hanging out. La dolce vita style. I rented a bike. It was like riding a tank it was so heavy. There was no wifi in my room, but I was able to go to the main house where Vladimir stays and use the wifi to check my messages every morning. I had a wonderful, comfortable stay. Merci Vladimir.
