My stay at Vulcano and at Alessandro's apartment was amazing. Alessandro was not available but his brother Claudio came to meet me from the ferry port and give me a lift to the appartment (with a quick stop off to get supplies). After showing me around the apartment I was left to enjoy. The apartment was perfect, very clean and with everything I needed. The aircon was probably the most important feature as it was very hot. The private patio area (with stunning views out towards Stromboli) was where I spent most of my time in the mornings before venturing out to explore the island. The apartments location is at one extreme of the island and very peaceful and quiet which is what I was looking for. To get to the main shops/cafes etc. is a fair walk and I would recommend that if you don't enjoy walking to hire a bike/car/scooter which are all available to hire on the island.
All in all I had an amasing time and would book there again if I ever re-visit the island.
Thank you Alessandro/Claudio/Family
