Vulcano is a marvellous place for getting away from the hsutle and bustle of everyday life. Luigi's cottage is nestled amongst of similar houses at the foot of an imposing rock. The house is simple, well equipped, fresh and clean. We are two on this trip, but it can easily house 4 people (2 rooms, real beds) or 6 using the sofa bed.
Luigi welcomed us and gave us some precioous hints on what to see and how to go about. His welcome include staples for a nice pasta meal with wine! He picked us up at the port and drove us back.
The house is only minutes away from a lovely black sand beach, complete with a nice beach side restaurant. A little further away there is a well stocked supermarket and also another beach with hot mud baths. There are frequent boats to Lipari, but just enjoying the sea and sun is quite enough. For the adventurous there is a climb to the vulacano rim from which you can see far around and enjoy the view of the deep crater and constant fumeroles. A very pleasant and enjoyable stay indeed.
