Fodor's Expert Review Il Vulcano nel Bosco
Via del Sole 3, Stromboli, Sicily, 98050, Italy
Built in 1750, this expansive house embodies the local vibes of Stromboli, with its white walls, sea and volcano views, outdoor thermal soaking pools, and maiolica tile everywhere (including on the geothermal heated floors). Surrounded by 3 acres of pine and citrus trees, it sleeps up to 10 people and offers a calm retreat for groups, especially anyone who wants to soak up the island's serenity for an extended time. Owner Davide Liuni can also arrange private yoga sessions and art therapy workshops on-site.
PROS
- full of quiet nooks both inside and out
- headed floors
- spacious and very private
CONS
- very traditional design
- really best for larger groups up to 10 people
- some rooms connect without hallways
