10 Top-Rated Hotels in Isola Vulcano, Aeolian Islands, Islands of Sicily, Sicily

August 24, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

According to the Ancient Greeks, the god Hephaestus used Isolo Vulcano as sort of his own private blacksmith shop. Here you can clamber up volcanoes like Scalata al Cratere and rejuvenate in the warm and gooey sulfur mud baths of Laghetto di Fanghi. Kayaking is a popular way to take in the beauty of Vulcano’s grottoes and coastlines.

A real gem of a hotel

Vulcano doesn't quite get the high praise of it's Aeolian sisters, and that is a real shame. There is much more to this island than volcanic history and the best hotel on Vulcano is the Eros Hotel. Lorena, and her team, (Hi J), are really lovely to stay with and are really great as a local resource to travelers like ourselves who were visiting these islands for the first time. Everything was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. If you are going to the Aeolian islands make sure to visit Vulcano and stay here, we found it to be truly lovely.

Hotel Garden

Hotel Garden is an oasis of comfort under the Volcano. A Nature Resort that features an outdoor swimming pool and the '49 Gourmet Restaurant. The Hotel is 100 meters away from all the attractions of the Island of Vulcano: the mud baths, the geo-thermic pools and the Black Sand beach. You cannot have a Vulcano experience without experiencing a stay at Hotel Garden!

Sad to say we were incredibly disappointed

Reviewed By Cocolohecalo

We arrived having notified the hotel both the night before and on the day but there was no taxi in fact he arrived and took another group. Went downhill from there. Low quality room - basic and not at all reflective of the price we paid. Overall this was our worst experience of a hotel we have ever had.

Wonderful family run hotel!

Reviewed By IslandMelissa

My sister and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this beautiful hotel. The gardens and pool are well taken care of thanks to Marco! The staff, particularly Rodolfo, Marco and Franco, are superb - nothing was too much trouble! The hotel is in a lovely location where you can hear the church bells ringing and it is close to the volcano which you can climb offering amazing views of the island. Before we booked we were wondering if there would be a smell of sulphur from the mud at this hotel but thankfully there is not. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast was excellent, particularly the omelettes and there is even a superfood section. The staff also picked us up and dropped us off at the port which was a welcome relief with all our luggage! Tip - buy the local cheese, it's delicious!

Mari del Sud Resort

Our resort is entirely surrounded by green, behind the famous Black Sands Beach and in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment. Mari del Sud Resort in Vulcano Island enjoys a privileged position allowing our guests to enjoy the unusual and fascinating sight of contrast between the deep blue sea and the magmatic colors of the background. The village has been recently expanded and entirely renovated. With a direct access to the sea, it includes low buildings separated by gardens and dotted with green passageways naturally framing the structure. The architectural style was inspired by Aeolian tradition combined with modern facilities, creating a comfortable shelter for his fragrances and sceneries, according to the best Mediterranean style.

10/10 do NOT recommend - sorry!

We were really looking forward to our stay here as the photos on the internet looked extremely promising. We expected a calm, cozy oasis with nicely designed, clean rooms. Reality hit very hard - it was a complete disaster; we left after 1 day.

Pensione La Giara

Pensione La Giara is a newly renovated typical Eolian building, surrounded by lush vegetation of palms, banana trees, hibiscuses and colourful bouganvilleas. This family-run B&B allows you to spend holidays in an pleasant and familiar atmosphere. Its central location allows guests to reach all the major tourist attractions in less than 5 minutes on foot. We are, indeed, just a few steps away from the main beaches of Vulcano ( Black sand beach and Hot water Beach), the east Port ( point of berths for ships and ferries), the walk to the Volcano Crater and the Sulphur Mud Baths. Our panoramic terrace, furnished with sofas and coffee tables, is a perfect place to relax during the breakfast and the whole day

Exploring Volcano

Reviewed By ExploringEarth66

The staff were excellent, from the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. The guesthouse was located only a few minutes from the port and we left our luggage there whilst we walked up the volcano. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. There was air conditioning and a fan so plenty to keep cool and no nasty smells. ( We may have been lucky with wind direction but I think we were far enough away from the sulphurous mud to avoid the pungent smell) We stayed two nights and hired a scooter to explore the island and swim at various locations.

Wish we had stayed here longer

Reviewed By Paul P

Spent one night at Villa Crimi as we decided to extend our stay on Vulcano. It was superb and we wished we had stayed there the whole time! Breakfast was served on our porch and the owner was super helpful and gave us a ride to the ferry dock the morning we left. Rooms were cozy clean and modern. It is about a 5-10 minute walk into town but it was nice to be in the peace and quiet of the forest.

Good base from where to explore the Island

Reviewed By Peter_Puzzle

The property offers well tenured public spaces, with the large pool an attractive centre piece, with various shaded seating areas and a cosy breakfast room. The staff were kind and helpful. The rooms are somewhat small, but fully functional, including airconditioning. Many of the rooms are directly in front of the pool. The beginning of the Vulcano trail is a mere 10 minutes walk away. To get to and from the harbour with luggage you might prefer a taxi or rented car. We wound up in this location due to a mix-up of dates at another residence of the same management (Punta Aria), resolved by the kind offer to move to this hotel instead.
