THE EXTRAORDINARY

World-famous for giving its name to the volcanic activity that characterises volcanoes of its type, Stromboli is the most important attraction of the Aeolian archipelago. Travellers come to admire the "Sciara del Fuoco", an impressive trail of fire linked to the intermittent explosions of magma. There are two ways to approach the volcano: by sea, to witness the volcanic activity in its entirety, or by taking part in night-time excursions with specialised guides to enjoy the pyroclastic display from closer up.

ETHICS

The Therasia was designed using local materials found on the island and in its immediate vicinity, lava stone, cedar and olive wood, and Sicilian terracotta. Its garden showcases all the endemic plants of the Aeolian Islands.
