Alicudi island is the perfect location for the experience of remoteness - it is quietly beautiful and filled with everyday magic of nature: smells, winds, summer heat and inspiring horizons. Caseta Zanca, situated at the 400 m height, is worth a climb for the spectacular views on the island and its surroundings to have your morning coffee with or sink in while reading in one of the hammocks in the garden.
Julia & Richard - an artist couple and amazing, caring hosts - are really well informed about the island, its history, habitat, and very generous with their time and attention as well as good stories. Time shared with them has added so much to the rest of the experience of the island - everyday walking and swimming, and snorkelling - my first time thanks to them!; reading while watching lizards and rabbits in the garden and occasional boats in the sea.
They have converted an ex-stable into a charming, cosy and comfortable place with a beautiful garden and equipped with finely selected furniture and all the kitchen utensils one could need. This made the stay so much more pleasurable aesthetically and inviting to spend time in and cook everyday.
Truly recommended!
PS. Thank you once again Julia & Richard!
