We really had a wonderful stay in the apartment 'on the hill'. Antonio was easy to contact and picked us up from the harbour. He showed us around and brought us via a very nice viewing point to the house. Great service!
The house lies 5 km uphill, amongst a few other houses, in the small town Vulcano Piano. You'll find a restaurant and the viewing point, otherwise not much to do there, which we liked, we enjoyed the quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
The room itself was perfect for 2 people. If you love cooking (like we do) bring your own kitchen knives :) . There is another 2 rooms next door but they were not rented out while we were there. Upstairs lives the French lady Chantal, who owns a jewellery shop in town. A lovely woman, very generous. She drove us back to town so we could rent a scooter (get one, perfect way to explore the island!), showed us how to pick cactus fruits from her garden and let us sunbath on the roof. The little porch outside in from of the room is a wonderful spot to enjoy breakfast (with the sun rising...) lunch and dinner. The great thing being on the hill is that it's a bit fresher than the other small towns close to the sea where's it get's hot during summer.
The island of Vulcano is great. We spend 4 days and had plenty to do and not do --> relax. Walk up and down the crater, visit the towns, the shops, the beaches, the viewing point.
All in all a real wonderful holiday feeling!
Thank you Antonio & Chantal! Hope to see you again! ***
