It is a small bachelor style apartment with an ensuite bathroom and a very large verandah, with spectacular night views of Stromboli (eruptions are visible!).
What is not always clear is that linen and towels are at an extra cost, and the exit cleaning charge needs to be payed upfront when checking in.
If you go in the summer, the linen provided is sufficient for the warm lovely nights.
This is an ideal apartment if you plan to use it as a base to visit the other island (Stromboli, Vulcano, Panarea, etc), and basically sleep and sometimes eat there.
It is a 15 – 20 min bus trip away from Santa Marina port, and has some great little cafes walking distance from the apartment.
It is nice and quiet, and you are left very much to yourself (which we appreciated).
