"We booked our week away here with Fleetway travel and flew out of London Luton(flight time 3 hours). The transfer time from Catania airport was 1hr 40 mins by bus to Milazzo then a further 40 minutes by hydrofoil boat then we were picked up by the resort coach at the port of Vulcano; thankfully the hotel was only a 5 mins transfer from that point. Once we arrived, the long journey was quickly forgotten, once we saw the amazing views! A welcome drink was gratefully received and we were given a brief tour of the resort, then shown to our room. The room was of a good standard, stylised in a rustic design with a lovely sea view in fact the design of the whole hotel was stunning and well laid out. I could not fault the quality of the rooms, cleanliness, the friendly staff/service and spa facilities. Food was of a high standard, with evening meals served 'a la carte ' for those on the HB option, but they did not always live up to the Italian flavours you would expect (garlic, tomatoes, pesto, olive oils etc). Drinks were pricey and water should have been complimentary with dinner not charged at €5 per bottle! The mini bar in the room was complimentary which was ok if you drink tonic water or ginger beer. A trip out to Stromboli is recommended which you can easily book via the hotel. We also ventured out for the afternoon to Lipari, which was also a lovely place to visit (turn left when you get off the boat, find the cathedral, museum and the smaller harbour with lovely cobbled streets and cafes). All in all an amazing place to stay, would highly recommend."
