About

Featuring a terrace and restaurant, Hotel Faraglione is located 656 feet from the port of Vulcano. It offers air-conditioned rooms 5 minutes’ walk from Ponente Beach. A sweet Italian breakfast is provided each morning. The informal restaurant serves regional cuisine and has a daily happy hour at the bar. There are also several restaurants and cafés in the surrounding area. The rooms have basic furnishings and a private bathroom with free toiletries. Some have a balcony with a sea view. The famous mudbaths, Laghetto di Fanghi, are 656 feet away. The Vulcano Crater path begins a 10-minute walk from the property and takes about 2 hours to reach the top.

    Pros +

    • The stuff was very sympathisch, very close to harbour, breakfast okay.
    • Very nice location, quite, beautiful with terrace. I would come here again for sure.
    • Well, we absolutely loved the view from the shared terrace, watching the ferries come and go was a joy! And by the way, the harbour noises are not disturbing whatsoever.The breakfast was another highlight! Served in the cafe downstairs, it includes a coffee and croissant of your choice, orange juice (sometimes freshly squeezed) and a delicious granita. The breakfast service is quick and very friendly.The room itself is ok, with efficient air conditioning and good lighting. It is cleaned daily, and very well, too. The towels are changed daily as well. You can hang your laundry on the terrace, using the drying racks and clips provided. The hotel is very high on recycling and takes it seriously, with at least four types of bins in the corridor.

    Cons -

    • All was perfect for the price! Even much better than expected.
    • The bathroom layout is annoying and there is practically not a single place to hang your towels or place your toiletry bags.The storage space in the room is rather limited and impractical.During our four night stay the WiFi died for almost a whole day (when it was working, it was pretty fast though).
    • Not much not to dislike except perhaps there was a lot of confusion surrounding breakfast on the first morning. Breakfast is provided by the bar in the hotel. I think perhaps the waitress was just having a bad day. Once it was sorted and at other times she was very pleasant.One other note! Not related to the hotel but do not use Servizio Taxi Mariano. He is a blatant rip off merchant. ?

    Great hotel in a perfect location just a couple of minutes walk from the ferry. And the perfect place to set out and explore this wonderful island from. The hotel check in staff were so helpful and professional. They also ran the ticketing agency as well.

    Location very near the ferry, view, fantastically helpful staff.

    8TanPosted on: 2-19-2024

    Great location near the port, good sea views from the room.

    Slow island Wifi, a bit expensive for what you get.

    5JuliePosted on: 1-29-2024

    It was clean and in a good position

    On arrival there was no hot water, although reported, no one got back to us, so I went without showering until the next day. I was then told quite abruptly that i should have let the water run until it got hot… would have been nice to be told!! The water needed running for a good 15 minutes before it warmed!! There was a midway step in the bathroom that is a death trap! got up in the night and tripped! dangerous!!! Breakfast was in a different location and pretty basic, I wasn’t a fan…

    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!

    10MattPosted on: 1-12-2024

    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.

    Amazing view, good location close to port and sea, good service and breakfast, also good price

    9AliciaPosted on: 11-19-2023

    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 bedding and towels were rather old.

    8TanyaPosted on: 11-16-2023

    Great location just off the boat and convenient for exploring the island. Comfortable clean room with lovely view. Good food (dinner and breakfast).

    8DafyddPosted on: 10-31-2023

    The location right on the quay, couldn't be better. The pizza in the restaurant downstairs (where breakfast is also served) was excellent!

    10YukoPosted on: 10-14-2023

    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.

    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.

    Great location on Vulcano island with beautiful seaview from the (shared) terrace. Very nice breakfast. Friendly people. Great place for the money.

    Pillow was too tall. Room a bit outdated

    8AlexanderPosted on: 8-9-2023

    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.

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

    10RongPosted on: 6-16-2023

    Newly renovated hotel, very nice room opening up to a balcony where there are racks to dry your clothes. Super close to everything.

    8JenniPosted on: 6-13-2023

    - our room had a beautiful view to the harbour and volcano- next to the harbour, 2 min walk from the ferry- supermarket, restaurants, rentals, etc. easy to reach- nice breakfast in the bar downstairs

    - the music from the bar downstairs was loud late at night

    8TomPosted on: 4-28-2023

    good room, good location, reasonable price

    the pizzeria attached to the hotel played music till 12…we were fine but mightn’t suit everyone!

    9StastiniPosted on: 4-3-2023

    Absolutely great location (few meters from the port), big terrace with an amazing view to the sea and volcanoes, tasty breakfast in the bar next door, kind and friendly staff. Bike rental few minutes walking from the hotel.
