Therasia Resort and Spa Vulcano
With spectacular views out to sea and across the neighbouring Aeolian Islands of Alicudi , Filicudi , Salina , Lipari , Stromboli and Panarea , the Therasia Resort has possibly one of the most spectacular positions of any hotel we have seen . Vulcano is the southern most island of the Aeolian archipelago , separated from Lipari by a tiny strait , and is just a 45-minute hydrofoil ride from the port of Milazzo in Sicily . The hotel has been recently renovated and the owners have made good use of the local volcanic stone from Etna , brightly coloured tiles from Sicily in the bathrooms and local whitewashed walls to reflect the sun ’ s rays . The 97 rooms and suites are furnished in a simple , but comfortable style and are decorated in cool cream and pastel shades . The interior public spaces of the hotel are airy and light with comfortable sofas and chairs in the open-plan lounges and there is a lovely poolside bar , along with the terrace bar , Il Faraglione , with views out over the striking Faraglione Rocks . The hotel has a private rocky bathing area and access to the sea , with sun loungers and umbrellas as well as a tempting infinity pool . The hotel has two restaurants offering a choice between fine dining , L ’ Arcipelago , and the less formal Il Cappero restaurant , both serving excellent Sicilian dishes , using local ingredients . There are numerous walks available , even up the crater of the volcano itself and a wide range of water sports is available nearby .
