Travelled with family and small children
Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Staff were unfriendly and used one of the seating areas as a smoking area although my kids were sat there. I discovered this later and was very cross about this as they just smoked over my kids. Shower was very loud and faulty. The driver was fantastic who picked us up from the port and extremely kind. The pool area is very nice which was the best bit. Staff seemed to see holiday makers as an inconvenience. The photos of the hotel on the website were very flattering so I had much higher expectatations for my stay. Breakfast was pretty good. Main waiter very grumpy. Female waitress very kind.There were no snacks available during the day and mealtimes were very rigid and limited. There seemed to be an outdoor bar which was not in use. With a bit more effort and modernisation this could be a really good hotel as it had great grounds and in a quiet part of the resort but about 20 mins walk to all the bars, restaurants Vulcano is a cute place. Quiet resort with a few nice bars and restaurants and opportunity to visit the other islands. Knowing what I know now I would stay in Panarea or lipari over staying here

This was a very good hotel with a lovely swimming pool and the added bonus of a jacuzzi. Cleanliness was excellent with rooms being serviced daily to a high standard. Breakfast was good and all staff friendly and welcoming. The complimentary shuttle bus to the port was a nice extra.

Amazing hotel, in a very quiet area surrounded by nature. The staff is attentive and professional, the rooms are big and with every comfort, the restaurant is excellent. The hotel has a wonderful garden with a pool that has a little jacuzzi area and is 10 mins walking to the main beaches of the island, 20 to the town and Harbour. I would recommend this place and I will definitely come back the next time I am in Vulcano!

Hôtel à environ 25 mn de marche du centre ville. Une navette vient vous récupérer si vous les appelez depuis le port. Personnellement on nous a surclassé du coup on s'est retrouvé côté piscine. La chambre est bien avec balcon et petit fil à linges. Salle de bain correcte. Le soir on peut y manger. Par contre un seul menu est proposé. C'était très bon. Le petit déjeuner est aussi très bien. La piscine est top. Seul bémol le deck est à refaire. Des vis dépassent du bois et on peut vite se couper le pied. L'hôtel est à 15 mn de l'ascension du cratère. Puis compter 1h00 pour arriver en haut.
