Vulcano hotels

Pros: superior rooms are amazing... Hotel is great, staff excellent and helpful, food super good. Overall great experience

Cons: Comfort room a bit small with a great view anyway.

Pros: Therasia Resort is known as one of the best hotels of Mediterranian. That time it was my fifth staying at that wonderful hotel, and it is my favourable hotel. Everything is of the highest quality - staff, food at breakfast, lunch and dinner, spa and crytal clear sea water. My wife and me enjoined very much all our five stay there.

Pros: Beautiful hotel and facilitates, great food - especially the breakfast has a fantastic selection. The staff were incredibly accommodating, professional and helpful at every occasion. A truly lovely place to stay.

Cons: The location is a little way from the main town, there is a free shuttle bus in and back but we did have to wait a bit for this in the evenings as there is one a hour. In October it was quite windy due to the hotels position on the cliff top.

Pros: We absolutely loved our time at Therasia Resort and we will definitely return back. The view is absolutely incredible, the rooms and surroundings are wonderful and the staff are always there to help.

Cons: At breakfast there was a poor range of fresh fruit (only melon, kiwi and pineapple) and the melon was constantly out. The meat restaurant is very expensive and not very authentic. We had burgers one night - and there were 16 euros each and the presentation consisted of a beef patty in a melted cheese sauce and lots of fries on top which wasn’t great.

Pros: The best about this hotel is its magnificent position with spectacular views, and the lovely pool area and garden with countless cactus! Nice architecture, nice furnishing in the lobby. Excellent choice at breakfast.

Cons: I found the room very spartaneous and rudimentary for being a “Small Luxury Hotel”. Room size was small and decoration was very simple and normal. However, very nice bathroom. Restaurant pretty big and not really intimate. Staff could be more friendly at breakfast. Building from outside urgently needs to be repainted.

Pros: Stunning property and location, excellent service.

Cons: Drinks overly expensive. Guests all seemed to do the same thing at the same time!

Pros: Amazing views. Nice pool. Comfortable and Quiet. The room had a private terrace. Most staff are friendly.

Cons: This resort just has poor record keeping or is deliberately aiming to lever more money out of guests. We hadn't thought much of it when overheard other guests arguing with the staff about 'extra' charges that had been applied over food and drinks. We experienced this ourselves when we were charged for a bottle of wine that we didn't have. When we tried to resolve they denied, and refused several times to give a refund for their mistaken charge. An unfortunate bad turn for an otherwise lovely stay.

Pros: Great pool area and lovely views of the volcano and water. Relaxing place to stay.

Cons: Needed to walk to restaurant to get some milk which is other end of the place rather than have it at reception. Staff were nice but sometimes not helpful.

Pros: beautiful structure, very quiet, unique position, nice rooms, beautiful pool & reception

Cons: The restaurant is not up to the standard: professional service appalling and not al all worth a 4 star hotel. Continuous confusion between the reception and the restaurant about the availability of food and the menu in the evenings, if you are not on half board (for an entire week, so we always had to leave the hotel for dinner). The whole family including young kids was abruptly woken op at 23:45 on the first day of arrival because the reception had lost our passport data and needed to put them again into the system (!!!). A lot to work is needed to bring the service at the same level as the hotel structure

Cons: mosquito hell, checkout at 10 a.m., realy bad dinner in hotel restaurant

Pros: The swimming pool was great. The shop also had a fantastic array of local pottery.

Cons: Breakfast was like a cattle market. No free tables. The room was quite basic, especially the bathroom. Could do with updating.

Pros: Nice property with nice amenities. It was nice having a restaurant on site. It sits right by the water. Absolutely beautiful!

Cons: The practice was extremely high compared to other locations in the same location. The bar was very limited on the drinks they could make.

Pros: Pleasant staff. Great swimming pool. Parking.

Cons: Horrible smell on the bathroom. Beach near the hotel not very beautiful.

Pros: Very nice pool area, the room was spacious and clean

Cons: The resort has a lot of unrealized potential - there is a nice rooftop bar by the sea, but no service. There are candles along all footpaths, but when no one lights them it is just dark. The restaurant has a nice location, but the staff seems a bit overworked and stressed

Pros: Pool infront of the apartment, tidy and in natural stones.

Cons: No towels in the room.

Pros: Staff, near Vulcano hike, good value for money

Cons: All applucations led us to wrong place. Not really easy to find.

Pros: Basic but clean with friendly welcoming service from staff. Typical Italian breakfast was more than adequate.

Cons: Location was fine with a view of the crater. The only minor issue was the lack of street lighting when walking back later in the evening.

Pros: A cosy place, each room has an access to the terrace. Friendly staff.

Cons: Breakfast was a little light

Pros: We were there out of season in May. Price 21eur, breakfast included. We enjoyed pool, water was of pleasant temperature, beautiful view of volcano. Quiet locality but not far from centre.

Cons: Everything ok.

Pros: A very nice place! Very good quality/ price.

Pros: Very good location, a 10min walk from the ferry terminal, beyond the area of the smelly baths, nice and spacious rooms, friendly and helpful personnel. Absolutely fantastic views of the volcano from the pool area

Cons: The pool was out of service during our stay - due to repair works - bad luck, we were told works wouldn’t last for more than a couple of days, too late for us though...

Pros: Location was simply great. Between 2 great beaches which was a step away from the hotel. Ambience was spectacular. Great view from the room, simply, stunning!

Cons: Lighting in the room could be improved.

Pros: Good breakfast and service.

Cons: A bit expensive. Simple room

Pros: very good location

Cons: Nothing special

Pros: Comfort and gorgeous landscape

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: Perfect location between two gorgeous beaches. We visited in September and it was so tranquil and relaxing. Lots of spaces to sit, lounge and explore. Staff were very helpful.

Cons: Nothing- a really lovely place to stay.

Pros: Staff was wonderful! Also the solarium by the beach.

Pros: Amazing place with access to two beaches, swimming pool, close to the vulcano (for those who would like to see it from the top) The junior suit has two rooms and two bathrooms, everything was clean, the breakfast is rich and tasty! A perfect place to relax and forget about everything, enjoying the perfect scenery

Cons: No restaurant on the territory

Pros: We stayed at Hotel Eros in September 2019 and we had wonderful 10 days. The hotel is perfectly located, close to both beaches. The garden is beautiful and well maintained. Rooms are clean, the beds were very comfortable. We also enjoyed the breakfast with a wide variety of food. The staff was so nice and helpful, it made our holiday unforgettable. Big thanks to Hotel Eros, we will be happy to come back.

Pros: Excellent breakfast and very nice and clean rooms

Pros: *Very modern and spacious apartment style (kitchenette etc) *Walked out on to a beach, and at night time the gate got locked for security *Patio area very relaxing and private *Great toiletries and large power shower *Breakfast was delicious and so many wonderful options (continental and cooked) *Very helpful and friendly staff, who also provided a shuttle service from and to the ferry port

Pros: Amazing location - stunning beach and great pool. Very helpful staff. Clean rooms. Would definitely come back again.

Pros: Perfect location directly on the black sand beach of volcano. A shuttlebus is picking you up at the harbour. Beach lounger are for free. Nice pool area. Large-scale continental breakfast. Friendly and helping concierge.

Cons: Rooftop bar was not open (beginning of September)

Pros: Great location, close to one of the most beautiful beach in Vulcano, stunning sunset from the terrace. Great choice for the breakfast with high quality. Lovely staff, very friendly and always keen to help. Great also the shuttle service from and to the seaport.

Cons: Nothing really, Too many mosquitoes but that depends on the natural reserve and a little pond close to the hotel, but it's part of the nature of the island

Pros: Very good location with a private black sand beach. Breakfast is pretty good with a lot of choice. Our suite was great with a very nice see view. The massage was good with a correct price. The suite was quite big.

Cons: It is crazy but the kitchen of the suite has nothing except 2 glasses and a fridge. There is a microwave but not powered. We had to plug it ourselves and not sure we had the right... At the desk they said it was 20€ / day to have forks, knifes, plates and at least one pan. Absolutely unexpected and unbelievable for the price. Staff was ok but not so friendly except the guy at the beach who was cool. Fresh orange juice at the breakfast would be appreciated in addition to the industrial one.

Pros: Great hotel with perfect location- by the beach, walking distance up to 5min to local shops/ restaurants. Great breakfast and lunch a’la carte. The room was big and very comfortable. From the balcony we had a view of a pool. Rooms and common areas were very clean aesthetic. Beach with sun beds and umbrellas was well organized and tidy. All the stuff was very helpful. Although be prepared to buy a mosquito spray on Vulcano There wasn’t a thing we didn’t like!

Pros: Views beach sunset

Cons: Unable to call front desk Staff seemed a bit unorganized No wait staff on beach when we were there.

Cons: Thin spring mattresses Week WiFi

Pros: Open space, the location, the late check-out, the friendly staff, nice bar

Cons: The wifi did not work in our room

Pros: Amazing place to stay , in my top 3 list in the europe , view was the best , was special to stay under Vulcano , great breakfast , very friendly staff, super clean rooms , loved it there , thanks for everything ❤️

Pros: just between volcanoes nice situated

Cons: room was very small

Pros: Great clean comfortable great location

Cons: I like it all

Pros: Atmosphere, location, scenery

Pros: Great location, very nice staff.

Cons: The room was a bit old, but still comfortable. No glass in one of the windows in the toilet. Breakfast was a bit basic.

Pros: Good location, good - all day present-staff, lower prices than in the rest of Vulcano's hotels Nice, clean pool, beautuful surroundings, in a quiet area but not too far from center. Good wifi.

Cons: The room (at least nr 12) need some refurbishments. The fridge is extremely noisy. The power supply of rooms can be switched on only if you put and turn on your key in it. It is not a card (easiest and modern solution) , but one from your set of 3 keys ( one for power supply and the 2 for entrance doors, permanently fixed on a common ring) If you go out your fridge will be disconnected from power supply. If you come back in the evening you need a pocket lamp/ or have to use your phone's lamp to find the key hole at the general switch of power. Before you go to bed if you want to lock your door, you have  to remove the keys from the power switch, close the door (without having light in the room) then try to find again in the dark the keyhole at he general switch, and so on... The breakfast is basic and poor, the same in every day ( it would be better to increase the accommodation price and offer good breakfast or just a coffee and a croissant  and not to call it breakfast) The owners luck is that the staff is very kind and make you to forget these not guest friendly "technical "solutions.

Pros: I got a very good deal and excellent value for money. Friendly staff. Very comfortable bed, good continental breakfast (other options available on request). All accommodation is on the ground floor, no stairs except for a couple of steps to reach the swimming pool and breakfast area. Dining table on the room's porch. An easy walk from the port and to the thermal pool, a beach, the volcano and the supermarket.

Cons: cannot think of anything bad

Pros: Italian-style breakfast - but fine, served by the pool helpful staff (but only basic english)

Cons: the pool at the beginning of the accommodation was dirty, it was cleaned up later (probably when more guests came) a lot of mosquitoes (maybe due to unclean pool) older equipment low signal of wifi At last of my stay, I was surprised. The receptionist tried to me explain (I don't know what exactly) about payment. She showed me the amount I paid right on my stay. I didn't understand. Then she showed me 10%. I didn't understand. Tourist tax? Did she want a tip? I asked... She finally smiled and said everything is ok. If she wanted a tip it was a bit cheeky. My rating would be higher. This not happened to me yet.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff.Location was excellent. Very close to volcano and 10 minute walk to centre.

Cons: Excellent value.

Pros: Quite area, friendly stuff

Cons: A bit distant from the main attractions

Pros: The breakfast was fantastic, as was the pool.

Pros: The pool and size of the room are the best.

Pros: A short walk to access a lovely pool and facilities.

Pros: The hotel was big enough to have everything we needed and small enough to be friendly and personal

Pros: Clean spacious hotel with a good terrace and pool area. Breakfast was a little dull but had enough choices

Cons: The shower in our room was a dated enclosed unit with a seat that you only only use if you were 5ft tall or less. Obviously the cleaning staff had never heard of Viakal either as the shower head was spraying in all directions! The beds were too hard for my taste.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful

Pros: Very nice place to stay. Large room wit AC and nice surrounding. Breakfest is very very good.

Pros: The location was fantastic and the garden lovely. Staff very friendly

Cons: The rooms were very basic and need upgrading. The trek to our room via the stairs with luggage was ardourous especially in my sixties. No facilities to get a drink of water or coffee during the day in the lounge

Pros: Very close to port, nice breakfast

Cons: Mosquitoes

Pros: Very quiet and comfortable room, nice terrace and garden. Very good Breakfast. Close to the Port and all the restaurants.

Pros: Breakfast

Pros: It was a short stay, everything was perfect.

Pros: Great location, nice room with beautiful view of the whole bay from the terrace. Nice reception and breakfast room staff. Free room upgrade. Good breakfast choice.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: Beautiful property! The hostess Maria was so helpful with everything. She upgraded us to sea/pool view. Suggested simple lunches for the kids that were not in the menu. I couldn’t be happier. The bed was large and comfortable. The pool was nice and clean, big enough for low season.

Cons: There was no shallow area in the pool. The breakfast was lacking food 1 hour before end, warm dishes were cold, they ran out of toast. Capuccino was different every time.

Pros: Location, rooms and facilities excellent, including a lovely swimming pool.

Cons: Breakfast was poor, very limited choice. Also tried to book car through hotel, receptionist said couldn’t do it, I walked into town and 5 minutes late had a hire car!!

Cons: Breakfast was a bit simple and in inspired, but ok.

Pros: Seaview room was great ! Staff very nice and very helpfull

Pros: Everything was great: room, service and location.

Cons: Unfortunately the restaurant was close in October.

Pros: Highlights of the accomodation were the salt water pool and an incredible spread on offer for breakfast. Our room gave us a beautiful view over the water. Room had air conditioning and was serviced every day. The staff were very friendly and accomodating with a shuttle service available when we needed. Definitely not walking distance to the centre.

Pros: The location is beautiful - stunning sea views and a nice pool. The staff were lovely.

Cons: It’s a charming place, but probably not at 4* standard. It needs a little investment boost to really take advantage of what it has to offer. The room didn’t feel perfect and the plastic outdoor chairs were a little 1995.

Pros: On the Lipari waterfront, with stairs going down to the sea. Lovely views of Lipari Town and the sea... On arrival, we were welcomed by the charming and very helpful Sylvia, while on departure the receptionist was sour and would not give us any extra time for check out despite the hotel being half empty...

Cons: Overall, a great place, but in need of some renovation to restore it to its past glory...

Pros: Excellent breakfast really good choice particularly the pastries. Stunning position with fabulous views over the bay. Very good free hotel minibus into Lipari or back to hotel. Excellent swimming pool, very clean and sparkling..

Cons: Staff in dining room could have been more interactive and attentive. Quality of cuisine for evening meals needs improving.

Pros: Beautiful location, views from the balcony in our room was lovely. Nice breakfast , all round nice place to stay, wound recommend

Pros: Beautiful hotel,. wonderful rooms helpful staff,.nice pool area, great views, overall very good.

Pros: It is a nice place to stay. The view from our room was extraordinary.

Cons: The shower was cold every night. Breakfast got to be much of the same each day. Restaurant food was not of my liking but I am fussy.

Pros: Beautiful location with seaview, relaxing swimmingpool, spacious rooms with nice beds, good breakfast with lots of variety (sweet and salty), bar and restaurant available and free shuttle to downtown/port. You can also walk to downtown within 15 minutes. The road to the hotel is adventurous, it is a high stroll up the mountain.

Cons: Our shower was kind of dark.

Pros: Beskfast was good. The staff and owner were very helpful.

Cons: The air conditioner in one of the rooms was very noisy and didnt work very well.

Pros: The owner helped us to organize amazing trips

Pros: A very friendly staff. Well localized

Cons: Shower not hot enough in the morning.

Pros: The staff were extremely helpful, breakfast was just right, and the pool and surrounds were very nice. There was nothing to take exception to, really.

Pros: Close to town.

Cons: Pool was too cold. Wi-fi didn’t extend far enough.

Pros: Great view to the sea and the castle if you book a room with the sea view. Very friendly staff, free transfer available. Pool.

Cons: Payment was requested in cash due some system malfunction.

Pros: I greatly appreciated the helpfulness of Newton in ensuring my family and I had an enjoyable stay. I also enjoyed the owner did a wonderful job arranging a boat excursion for us to see Stromboli.

Pros: It was nice and clean.

Cons: We thought it was advertised with wi-fi When we arrived it was 10 minutes free per day and the €4.00 pr 1/2 hour. When you are travelling you need the wi-fi to find your next destination.

Pros: Excellent staff- very helpful and friendly. Lots of delicious breakfast options. Very good size room. Whole hotel was very clean, tidy and smart.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent Staff were very helpful Shuttle bus always available to take us into town or to the port Room was lovely, very large with its own private balcony Room was cleaned every day

Cons: Not keen on the "pool" towels - these were micro-fibre travel towels.

Pros: Friendly staff. Good value for money.

Cons: Breakfast wasn’t great!

Pros: Location

Pros: Nice room - beautiful swimming pool - excellent breakfast

Cons: 10 minutes walking from city centre - limited services proposed (no laundry, etc)

Pros: The room was big and comfortable and was equipped with a fridge. It also had a private terrace.

Cons: The room's door didn't work well and it was difficult to close. Breakfast could have been better; it seemed the yogurts had gone bad and the products' quality was not so good. Too expensive accommodation only because it is located in the Eolian Islands. Price is too high for the quality, especially taking into account that it is not located in the centre of Lipari, so most of the time you depend on the transportation service the hotel offers.

Pros: Excellent hotel! One of the best I have ever been too (and I travel a lot). Borgo Eolie is hidden in the most perfect picturesque garden at the foot of beautiful mountain. Every facility is kept in a perfect condition, staff is extremely attentive, kind and willing to help, they really do care for their guests. Every room has either a balcony or terrace where you get the perfect view. Pool is always clean, breakfast is wonderful (typical Sicilian pastries, omelettes, yogurts, fruits, cereals, etc.). The hotel also provide free shuttle service that can get you to the port or city center whenever you want. However it’s only a pleasant 10 min walk to the center. Moreover, Borgo Eolie also gives lots of discounts for the local restaurants. This is also a perfect spot to stay if you’re into hiking: there are lots of treks starting nearby the hotel. We can’t wait to come back for more!

Cons: My only recommendation is to use less disposable packagings at breakfast (jams, honey, etc.). As much as I understand it could be much cheaper but there’s too much plastic waste. The other concern is a coffee machine: Nescafé is an absolute disaster (especially for Italian standards of good espresso). Anyways, thanks for making our honeymoon so special ❤️

Pros: Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff and free shuttle bus to town and the port.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: lovely hotel, super helpful staff!

Pros: This is a beautiful hotel, designed as a Mattise painting. The rooms are very comfortable and staff friendly. Perfect place would like to stay longer.

Cons: We should have stayed longer

Pros: Nice room and pool. Staff very helpful and welcoming. We booked a scooter to travel around for the day and the reception lady was very helpful and recommended places for us to visit thank you!

Cons: Having to pay for pool towels or to use jacuzzi. We had our own beach towels and weren’t fussed on the jacuzzi however the prices aren’t cheap to stay here so really it should be included.

Pros: The hotel staff was really helpful & service oriented, we appreciate their warm helpful attitude.

Cons: Very bad WiFi Ac didn’t work well, after the 1st night we were given another room & granted a discount. Anyway with the heat outside I can’t but mention this significant disadvantage.

Pros: Geli was an absolute gem. She helped us in so many ways to make our time spent in Lipari better than we could have done without her.

Cons: Our "king sized" bed was actually 2 twin beds that were just pushed together. Nothing kept them in place together and we constantly had to keep pushing them back together. We finally had to give up and treated the bed as two separate twins which is what they were. I would recommend this as a romantic place however the bed severely limits how romantic one can be.

Pros: The open green garden with great views. Just outside of the centre. Great pool to relax and have a drink after a day out. Private terrace/balcony for all rooms. Friendly, professional, down to earth staff.

Cons: Breakfast is good, but we would prefer less quantity and more quality. Would be better if there is more opportunity to have breakfast outside instead of inside. Not a problem for us, but is a 10 minute walk to town.

Pros: Location. Clean and decent size room.

Cons: No coffee making in room, average breakfast, hit and miss wifi, forget dinner poor choices. Def not for a long stay.

Pros: Good location and lovely swimming pool.

Cons: No real service from staff at pool bar, waiting and waiting and often nobody bothering to serve/bring bill etc. Very quick to try and move guests from tables to set dinner for the few people dining in the evening, clearly more geared up for group/tour bookings rather than regular guests. The same at breakfast when outside terrace reserved for groups, a shame.

Pros: The staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. The pool was a decent size and quiet.

Cons: The shower in our room was tiny and you had to manoeuvre yourself through the small opening.

Pros: Good staff. Pool and the flowers everywhere.

Pros: Tranquil. Beautiful. Attentive staff. An easy walk from the port. (Although the hotel offers transfer by shuttle) a quiet area with beautiful gardens. Professional service. Excellent breakfast. Relaxing pool. We hope to stay here again!

Pros: The Pool

Pros: Amazing swimming pool! Amazing views from the patio in front of the Hotel room. Close to the center/harbor for shops and restaurants, but nice and quite in the evening

Cons: The bathroom was rather small and outdated, and it took a long time to get the right temperature water (sometimes boiling hot, sometimes very cold)

Pros: The rooms are great. Loved the pool and the close proximity to Lipari and the port. The staff are also very friendly and always willing to help with any questions and helping book tours to neighboring islands! Loved it here!

Pros: Swimming pool

Cons: False advertising with the “free” shuttle bus to beach. The only reason I booked this hotel was because it offered this service making it affordable. However when I arrived and asked about the shuttle service they informed me that I would have to pay a €20 fee to go to their partner beach. If I was aware Of this I would have picked a hotel closer to beach so that I was not conned from this false advertising.

Pros: If you can, stay in Room 24! HUGE terrace overlooking the sea and islands. The location is lovely and peaceful, and the views are absolutely fantastic. The room was very clean and had all the essential amenities, including a hairdryer and a shower with strong water pressure. The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the main harbour (only for your arrival / departure, though - anything else and you'll have to get the local bus for €1.30 pp / one way). Lots of little restaurants, motorino hires and a beach all within walking distance. Located just 5 minutes drive away from the main bustle of Lipari town, this hotel is ideal for couples who want a quiet night's sleep and great views.

Cons: Several breakfast items were visibly / tasted mouldy - cakes, juice, and somehow... the coffee? When I pointed this out to staff, instead of simply removing the items in question from the buffet and apologizing, I was told the (visibly large cloud of) mould was icing sugar. When I suggested they try a slice of the cake, which they refused to do, I was then given a defensive description of how mould forms in humid areas and insistently told the cakes are baked fresh every day, despite this clearly not being true. This could have been a conversation which lasted 15 seconds, but instead it lasted 5 minutes and we came away feeling like we simply shouldn't have said anything. Breakfast & the staff's over-the-top reaction were the only downsides to our stay. Tips: get breakfast elsewhere & avoid talking to the staff and you'll be fine!

Pros: There is a shuttle bus to pick us up and send us back to the Lipari. The view from the room is great. The room is spacious and clean.

Cons: It is not about the hotel. The beach in the island is just stones instead of sand. You need to take a bus to the Lipari but the bus stop is just on the main road

Pros: Nice view, friendly and helping concierge. Free shuttle service. Good continental breakfast

Cons: Floor of breakfast room should be more clean. Pictures of jacuzzi pool posted at booking preview is „overrated“

Pros: The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, very accomodating. The cleanliness of the room.

Cons: The distance to a greater choice of restaurants.

Pros: Fantastic hotel, super service minded personnel, very good quality, and amazing view from our room (seaview, 2nd floor, large terassa). Perfect also with the free transfer to the ferry.

Cons: Perhaps some softener will help the towels :-)

Pros: Flexibility to have twin beds, very good English, tips for tours and bus schedules, value
