    Hotel Faraglione offers simple, clean and recently refurbished rooms.  It has been family owned since the 50’s and there was a genuine islander warmth — the friendly staff immediately made us feel welcome.  The hotel is located next to the ferry which is a perfect location for travellers arriving by foot.  We visited during January and the small tourist-oriented community was quiet except for a few necessity shops, one cafe and the grocery store. We had perfect weather and climbed the island’s namesake volcano to the steaming crater.  Incredible place and nice little community!

    Nothing.

    The hotel is beautiful, with nice views, and the land has lots of fruit trees and birds. Francesca, the owner, was very kind and helpful. We loved our breakfast of fresh-squeezed orange juice, coffee, and pastries.

    The bedding and towels were rather old.

    The location was great, next to the port and a restaurant/bar that is open even in November. The staff was kind, the room large and very correct, and the breakfast, which was at the bar, was great. The location is also convenient for the hike to the crater.

    The best accommodation on a fun island
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior Double Room with Sea View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    There was no bottled water provided in the refrigerator. When I asked about it, I was told that it was a reasonable hotel. I stayed at 14 inns, but this was the only one that didn't have bottled water. When you finally arrive at your hotel on a hot summer day, it's nice to have cold water in the fridge. I'll be happy if there's water in the fridge next time I go. It would have been nice to have a little more explanation and information about the island.

    The hotel where we were greeted by a smiling Mr. Mirella and a kind Mr. Lorenzo is located right in front of the harbor where we can see the ships heading to the Aeolian Islands. It's lively during the day and has a travel atmosphere at night. Although the terrace is shared, it is very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast served at the cafe below is simple but delicious. Currently, you can't go into the mud hot springs, but there were a lot of people there, so I went in. There are hot springs, the ocean, and a rocky mountain that you can climb that resembles a volcano, making it a convenient and fun place rich in nature. There is also a supermarket nearby. Lipari Island seems to be popular, but I love this island! I stayed in 14 places on my first trip to Sicily and Vulcano was really good.

    It doesn't get more convenient than this, with the ferry terminal two minutes away, supermarkets and all the restaurants marginally further, and the magnificent view from the shared terrace! We particularly enjoyed watching the big ferries (Siremar) come and go... The room isn't particularly impressive but with very efficient aircon, modern bathroom and reasonable beds it is more than sufficient. The breakfasts in the cafe below are a gift and are served generously, so you can have freshly pressed orange juice, a croissant, a coffee of your choice AND a granita. Absolutely delicious!

    The breakfast in a separate bar downstair was a big mess. If not this point, the mark might be 10.

    Excellent location next to the port. Close to beaches, restourants, and shops. Fantastic view to Vulcano. The room was spacious and clean. The hostess was responsive and helpful.

    Fabulous retro Italian seaside vibe

    Fairly spartan in terms of amenities, but nevertheless just what we were looking for: that retro Italian seaside vibe. Staff were excellent. Super convenient for the volcano hike, mud baths and hot bubbling sea (all officially closed when we visited though that didn't seem to stop people sneaking in (or up) under cover of darkness. October is lowish season but the Faraglione bar/restaurant was buzzing throughout the day and really came alive in the evening. Wonderful atmosphere.

    nothing.

    The location was ideal, next to the ferry with very friendly staff who gave us some good advice. Our room was on the top floor with direct access to the terrace and a beautiful view on the sea and volcano. Great Sicilian breakfast (with brioche and granite with cream, but we also had bread, nice coiffe and fresh orange juice), served by lovely smiling waitress. Amazing time and so close to the volcano trek, the warm beach and the black sand beach too. Make sure to rent a scooter to discover the rest of the island!

    We loved the location, the shared terrace, the modern bathroom, super efficient aircon and, last but not least, the staff. Oh, and the breakfast in the cafe downstairs was superb - a delightul choice, including sweet and savoury foods, freshly pressed orange juice, coffee and, if you are into it, some delicious granita. Despite the hotel's proximity to the harbour and the sulphur vents, the hotel is surprisingly quiet AND the sulphur smell doesn't really reach it. All in all, a delight! 💗

    Only cons is a bit of noise in the morning when the boats are starting to come in but nothing outrageous.

    I'm not sure why this hotel has only 2 stars. Rooms are great, bed is comfortable, AC and TV work well. Service is great. View is awesome.
