What an amazing place! Beautiful location with excellent views of the sea and Stromboli volcano.
Fabulous communication from owner and staff were fantastic.
We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay on Stromboli to celebrate a 50th birthday. Highly recommend.

The property was very relaxing and the apartment we rented was well kept and functional. We had the opportunity to experience firsthand the cooking of chef Bala and it was outstanding. Receiving breakfast in the morning was a nice touch as we could decide where to eat. The private terraces were also very nice to have different options of where to socialize with guests or by ourselves.

Lo que más nos gustó del alojamiento la ubicación. Tenía una terraza desde la cual se veía el Stromboli y el mar. Lugar supertranquilo, sirve para desconectar. Las instalaciones del alojamiento muy buenas. La habitación matrimonial muy amplia, el salón-cocina amplísimo, la terraza para comer-desconectar de la misma planta estupenda y la terraza sobre el alojamiento con unas vistas de 10. Para ir a la playa sólo hay que bajar una escalera y si coincides con época de piscina, está la piscina en el propio hotel (justo la estaban llenando cuando fuimos). El desayuno servido en la cámara espectacular (zumo, café, dulces, salados, etc). Fuimos una familia con 2 niñas (11-13 años). Como pero, por poner un pero, el colchón de la habitación matrimonial: era muy delgado sobre una tabla. Era incómodo, duro, porque notabas que estabas sobre una tabla, aunque dormimos del tirón

Unterkunft in Stromboli zu empfehlen
Schöne, geräumige und saubere Unterkunft (Apartment) mit Sitzplatz und Dachterrasse. Das für italienische Verhältnisse ausgiebige Frühstück wird zur gewünschten Zeit pünktlich ins Appartement gebracht. Es gibt einen kleineren Pool mit ausreichenden Liegen und der Strand ist in unmittelbarer Nähe (mehrheitlich Sandstrand, was auf den äolischen Inseln eine Seltenheit ist. Das Personal ist freundlich und alle Wünsche wurden tadellos erfüllt (Frühstück am frühen Morgen, Taxireservation etc.)

Joli appartement propre, belle vue, personnel sympathique, par contre petit déjeuner pas génial.
Sehr zentrale Lage. Schöner Pool und chillige Terrasse.
Leider konnten wir aufgrund einer Hochzeitszeremonie den Poolbereich zwei Stunden nicht nutzen!
Diego, der Rezeptionist war immer sehr freundlich und bemüht. Da es ein familiär geführtes Hotel ist , wäre ein einziges "Hallo" der Besitzerin auch sehr schön gewesen!
Die Anlage ist trotzdem sehr zu empfehlen!
Die Unterkunft versteht sich als Zwischenversion Ferienwohnung und Hotel. Leider verbinden sich damit einige Einschränkungen im Service:
- Keine Abholung vom Schiff wie bei B&B und anderen Hotels (Angebot zur Organisation eines kostenpflichtigen Service wurde gemacht)
- Schmutziges Geschirr vom Vorbesitzer muss vor der ersten Benutzung gespült werden
- Beschränkte Auswahl zum Frühstück, Kaffee/Tee kochen und abspülen muss ebenfalls gemacht werden.
In Summe ist das Konzept so nicht ausgereift. An sich ließen sich diese Kleinigkeiten für den Besitzer einfach beheben.
