Location is good by the beach. Some of the staff were very nice (Argentinean girl in breakfast room & African Italian girl in the reception, people in swimming pool) but to be honest some people on the reception were one of the worst I have seen in my life. Happy to be contacted by the hotel management to provide further details on this. Breakfast was amazing though but please bear in mind this is not a quiet place but a place for people with families.
The Garden is just 100 metres from the volcanic sands of Ponente Beach on Vulcano Island. This renovated 1970s building with garden boasts a traditional Aeolian style.

Because of a "plumbing issue" we were rebooked to "Mari del Sud" Resort. From the outside it looked like the neighbouring Hotel Garden has shut down forever. So we got a free Upgrade, thank you for that.
Special thanks to the extremely lovely and helpful staff at Mari del Sud, who made us enjoy our stay even more: Valentina, another young gentlemen whose name i didnt catch unfortunately but who was very helpful arranging a boattour and Ygoro.
Therasia Sea and SPA is set on the peninsula of Vulcanello, with views of the Aeolian Islands. This impressive building in white stone features a modern spa, and a private access to the sea.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting 😍 Great views of the Vulcano from the pool. Nice staff. E-bikes were an amazing way to explore the island, handy to have them from the hotel.

Hotel Eros made our honeymoon an unforgettable experience! Traveling as a newly married couple with family, we were looking for something truly special, and Hotel Eros went above and beyond. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with such warmth and kindness, making us feel like cherished guests. They even surprised us with a romantic welcome in our room, complete with flowers and a lovely note—a thoughtful touch that made us feel celebrated.
Our room was beautifully appointed, with breathtaking views that added a magical touch to each morning. The comfort and attention to detail in the room were top-notch, and we appreciated the luxurious amenities. The hotel’s dining options were fantastic, offering fresh and delicious meals that everyone in our group loved. Breakfast each day was a treat, with so many options to start our day off right.
The staff truly made the difference. They were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, whether it was arranging a day trip, recommending local spots, or simply making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Every interaction felt genuine and thoughtful, adding to the sense of care we felt throughout our stay.
Thank you, Hotel Eros, for making our honeymoon so memorable! It was a dream vacation, and we can’t wait to return one day. Highly recommended to any couple or family looking for an exceptional experience!

From the moment we arrived, the wonderful team at the reception desk greeted us with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for a memorable stay at Les Sables Noirs. Each morning, we were treated to amazing breakfasts that offered a delightful start to our day. The hotel’s private beach was a slice of paradise, where the incredible views of the sea seamlessly blended with the breathtaking sunsets, creating moments we’ll cherish forever.

Hotel Aura is 500 metres from Vulcano Harbour. It offers a quiet position, an outdoor pool and a flower garden. An Italian sweet breakfast is provided daily and a bar is also available.

The swimming pool was the best part it could be nice and quiet when large families aren’t dominating it and allowing their children to runabout diving into the pool. It’s sat right under the volcano and is a very beautiful pool.
Hotel Torre is situated in Vulcano, within 200 metres of Spiaggia delle Acque Calde and less than 1 km of Porto di Ponente Beach. This 1-star hotel offers free WiFi. The hotel has family rooms.

Everything about this place was absolutely perfect. Firstly, its location is great, it's just few minutes from the port, up to 10-15 minutes to the beach, there are 2 good supermarkets just a minute from there, right opposite to the accomodation is great gelateria and it is even on the way to the summit od the vulcano. Secondly, it looks absolutely beautiful and marvelous to the last detail. Rooms were really clean and beds were comfortable. And the whole staff was extremely nice and helpfull, they were at our service the whole time. We will stay here again for sure, if we come back. Thank you for the perfect experience.

People were super nice and did all they could to help us having the best holidays. The place is amazing, very quite even though it’s 5mins from the Harbour and the city center.
The Garden is just 100 metres from the volcanic sands of Ponente Beach on Vulcano Island. This renovated 1970s building with garden boasts a traditional Aeolian style.
Incredible wee island. Loved that you could cycle everywhere easily, there were lots of mini adventures to be had e.g. Vulcanello crater, snokelling, Monte Saraceno, Capo Grillo viewpoint & of course the Vulcano crater hike.
Lots of great places to eat, cute, off the beaten track feel. We loved how quiet everywhere was in October.

I love Volcano.
I love Volcano. The relaxed, laid-back atmosphere has brought me back half a dozen times and it never fails to delight. Sadly Maurizio's restaurant is no longer in operation but there are still some other places to eat that don't disappoint.
Walking up the volcano is always fun, though they have restricted access to the zone of the fumaroles now, and the mud-pools have been closed completely. I was told this is because they have got too hot. We also went to visit the cat colony who are situated on Vulcanello, and was pleased to see that they have been moved to more comfortable quarters.
Swimming in the sea - especially where it's sprinkled with hot bubbles - is always a delight. The Spiaggia Nera (black-sand beach) has not hot bubbles but is really pleasant.
My only gripe with Vulcano (and the whole of Sicily) is that there is too much litter everywhere. It could really do with a good clean-up. The friendly, relaxed people go a long way towards making up for it ... maybe if they weren't so relaxed they would organise some clean-ups!

The Spiaggia delle Acque Calde is a must-go place, probably the only place in the world with sulphuric gas coming out from the seabed to warm the water like a natural jacuzzi. The mudpool next to it is also very good, it might look dirty from outside but once you are in it, it gets less smelly of sulphur and you feel like having a caffe latte bath!

Vulcano has a lovely laid-back vibe.
Vulcano has a lovely laid-back vibe. Everyone, from Maurizo (he has a restaurant not far from the supermarket - completely recommend it) is friendly but not over-friendly. The volcano is fascinating to climb, fumaroles fascinating to observe and the beaches are fascinating to frequent, with their sparkling black sands, and even the semi-feral cats are well-cared for.
The mud-baths are great but also a bit feral at the moment - I think they are going to upgrade them ... wear flip-flops around the edges and be careful not to tread where the bubbles are as feet can get scorched ...

We recommend the restaurant La Isla, great pasta in huge portions, you can easily share one plate and have a secondo piatto. The 40 mins walk uphill to Valley dei Mostri is a total waste of time as there are only 2 or 3 rocks vaguely ressembling animals. The place is desolate and depressing. We never found the entrance to the Vulcanello as it is not posted. Equally uninterresting is the Agua calda beach. The water is vaguely tepid at best, the water blurry and the bottom rocky. It is a tourist trap to rent chairs and umbrellas. The La Baia Negra beach is infinitely better. The tour of the island by bus is a delight but a bit expensive at 30 euros per person for an hour, but since there is nothing else to do and the alternative is to rent a car or a scooter - but there is nowhere to go, apart from small Geco, since everything is located around the port. The walk to the volcano has been closed for nearly a year because of excessive gasses. The mud baths are also closed. So, you come to Vulcano for the beach, the scenery, and Giuliana !

It’s a special place as the island is a volcano.
It’s a special place as the island is a volcano. The surrounding is very special, black sand and lots of fishes to see. It’s much more expensive than Sicily and quite touristic. It’s great for diving and has a great diving center.
Not the classic beach you might be thinking of and has a strong smell of sulfur.
Gorgeous view and beautiful sea

Everything was fantastic! Set on a hill, surrounded by pine trees, Villa Crimi is a peaceful and quiet place, just a short walk away from Vulcano Porto, with a beautiful private terrace, a charming room with renovated bathroom facilities; breakfast is served on the terrace. A great family-run place; the owner was very kind and attentive and picked me up at the port on arrival and brought me back to the port at the end of my stay. Highly recommended — grazie mille e alla prossima!
We had a fantastic time. The house is in a quiet area surrounded by nature and a short walk from Capo Grillo. We gazed at the stars every night and enjoyed our surroundings. Giuseppe was a great host who picked us up and was available for questions. The neighbor is a sweet lady with whom we hope to spend more time with next time. Vulcano is our favorite Eolian Island as it has a laid back vibe and a beautiful black sand beach.
