Why people love it

  • The view. Breakfast is served in a glass gazebo that looks out toward Vulcano, and every room has a terrace.
  • Angelo, Rita and family. Guests describe port pickups, no tip accepted and a driver back to the ferry. Rita is thanked by name for breakfast.
  • Breakfast. Reviews call it plentiful and varied, with omelets and local products.
  • Off-season stays. Angelo kept the B&B open in March 2025, when guests said most places on the island were closed.

Why they come back

"This is their third time staying at Villa Maristella. It's a bit like coming home."

The worst thing guests say

No guest complaint appears in the last 4 years. Older reviews, from 2018 and 2019, said the beds were not very comfortable, breakfast variety could be better and a car or scooter is needed to reach the town.

Insider tips

  • Rent a scooter or car, as it is about a 10 minute drive from the center.
  • Ask for a ride from the port when you book.
  • It is open in the off season.
Who it's for: couples who want a quiet hilltop with a view.
Skip it if you do not want to drive or take a scooter.
