A very pleasant stay. Owner is very nice. He gave us a room with a kitchenette with no extra charges. Our room is clean and big. Do bring your own cooking condiments, detergent and toiletries. Water heater for shower takes time to heat up between showers so wait for a while after someone has taken one.
Apartment is about 15-20 mins walk from the main port for hydrofoils to/from Milazzo but it is very near to the smaller port for boats for Stromboli and Vulcano. Grocery is available at a supermarket near to the main port, along the main street.
Do not miss Stromboli. The tiring 2-3 hrs uphill climb is very worth it for viewing the beautiful sunset and volcanic eruptions after dark. The 1 hr plus downhill trek down the soft volcanic sand is fun and a great experience in the dark with only a torch light! A once in a life time experience not to be missed ! Be warned: only for the physically fit....otherwise, the guide can and will ask you to leave the group half way and send you back down with another guide.
