I traveled with 6 friends and we had an amazing stay. Our host, Sergio, contacted me before we began our travel with suggestions of things to do and contacts for individuals who could help us. We took advantage of his suggestion for a cook our first evening there. Alessandra, who was so welcoming, made us a memorable dinner with local ingredients. At Sergio’s suggestion, we also worked with Deborah to book a private boat to take us to Panarea and Stromboli. That had to be the highlight of the trip- seeing the sunset over the sea and then the volcano at Stromboli erupt into the night sky. Back to the villa. It is roomy, comfortable and well stocked. The grounds had gardens and beautiful plantings. The large patio overlooks the smoldering volcano and the sea. We loved the kitchen with its central island where we gathered around almost every evening to make dinner while enjoying the local wine. If you plan to go off season (our visit was in late April) know that many of the businesses on these smaller islands are closed. Also, if the pool is important to you- be sure to ask the host if they have opened it for the season. That said- there is plenty to do on Volcano and it is easy to take ferries to the other islands. We found everyone to be exceptionally nice and helpful and the Villa a great place to stay to enjoy it all.

We had a fabulous time in the Villa dei Sogni. The villa is beautiful, most likely the best in the island, with a stunning view over the port and the vulcano, a giant pool (very rare in the area) that the kids loved and a lush garden. The house is very spacious, tastefully decorated respecting the local style and traditions. We were 8 people and had tons of space, but we could have easily been twice as many without compromising on comfort. For a reasonable extra charge you can hire a cook, a local lady who is a goddess in the kitchen. We had the best pasta with seafood! The hosts are very exquisite people, Stefania and her father Eustachio. Very helpful, very caring, helped me a lot organizing my transfer from the airport as well as renting a car and a boat on Vulcano. All in all, a fantastic place , very highly recommended. My credo as a traveller is to never go back to the same place (life is too short and there are so many places to visit!) but for this villa I would happily make an exception!

We are renting houses for large groups for many years, this year was best experience ever. We were 13 people in total, 5 adults and 8 kids, with enough rooms to comfortably accommodate more if needed. The house is spectacular, quiet and uphill with a unique view facing the vulcano, with the largest and nicest pool in the island, nice surroundings and equipments in the garden. It truly is even better than what it looks on the pictures :-).... But what made our stay incredible was the constant attention we received from the owner Eustachio and his family; they were in constant contact with us from weeks before we arrived until the day we left, waiting for us at port of Milazzo : They arranged transportation (for 13) from Catania airport, arranged for renting a Mehari that was waiting for us when we arrived with enough cars to drive us to the house where a lunch was set waiting for us. The ultimate plus is Susanna the cook, we used her every evening but 2, she knows where to find the best products and she is a fantastic cook, way better than restaurant... We loved every minute of our stay, lots of things to do in Vulcano and visiting the other islands... We will be back !

The most wonderful feature of the house is the huge warm pool that will allow you to enjoy the volcano views and relax even in the heat of the day. It's the largest pool on the island and you have it all to yourself. There is lots of shady outdoor social space to play, relax, and eat in. We had a wonderful lady come and cook for us on our first and last nights and she also got is a starter set of groceries so we could make breakfast etc on our first day. People don't speak much English here but we made good use of google translate (free app) and did not have any problems. The house and bedrooms are air conditioned, so there's always cool space to relax and sleep in. Also, there's a nice ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms, so no waiting around. The house is in walking distance of the beach, mud baths, and town although the return journey is up a hill so you may wish to drive. We took a boat tour and swam off the boat and hiked up the volcano. We cold have done more but when you have the best pool on the island a short step away from your bedroom it's just easier to stay and play. We are at many good restaurants and used google reviews as a guide. Wonderful holiday and it's worth taking the time to get to Vulcano. We booked the ferry tickets for us and the car in March in order to get space on the right day. I'm sure it's easier as a foot passenger though. The house is clean, comfortable and with unbeatable views. I highly recommend it.
