A structure worthy of the name it has conquered over the years. A pearl still partly hidden in the panorama of Aeolian hotels. Re-launched after years of inactivity, it is now well-run and offers high-level rooms, services, meals and assistance. All in the magic of an island dominated by one of the very few active volcanoes in
World. Rooms spread around the park with swimming pool, each with a special view. Ours (corner) ranged from strombolicchio to the volcano. Rooms (spotless) simple but tastefully furnished (beautiful ceramics) like all common areas. The bathroom may have been sacrificed a little, but functional (a line of branded products could be included). A special mention for the assistance that advised and accompanied us from arrival to excursions and practical advice. Particularly courteous staff, without individualism, made even more pleasant the time of breakfast (large and varied, especially on desserts) on the terrace overlooking the park-pool, dinner (excellent raw shrimps and swordfish rolls) and of cicchetti by the pool. We listened to their advice we did "chez peulo" a beautiful boat trip to Ginostra (departure 6.30 pm and return at 9.00 pm with a stop and visit of the village, aperitif, sunset ...) with a night passage in front of the sciara (that of the volcano ) with a view of three eruptions. Sleeping in La Sciara is an experience to live, at least for one night for anyone planning a stop in the Aeolian Islands.
