Therasia Resort Review | Hotels Above Par
"Set on the wild Aeolian island of Vulcano and open seasonally from April to October, this 70-key, five-star property offers a boutique-resort experience that prioritizes privacy, personalized service, and spectacular sea views. Guests can relax by an infinity pool that visually melds with the Tyrrhenian Sea and access a platform that leads directly into the water, or retreat to a spa with treatment rooms, a hydromassage hot pool, sauna, Turkish bath, sensory shower, and a large fitness center. Rooms are light and Mediterranean in style, many with furnished balconies; the top-tier Suite Eolie adds a large living room, two bathrooms, a panoramic terrace, and a couple-sized hydromassage pool. Dining is a major draw, with multiple on-site restaurants (including two Michelin-starred tasting menus), casual pizza-and-pasta options, lunch bites, and bars that spill onto terraces overlooking the Faraglioni. The staff are noted for going above and beyond — arranging exclusive boat excursions between the Aeolian Islands, handling childcare, and delivering concierge-level attention. Practical details include shuttle service, Wi‑Fi, and rates that start in the mid-hundreds per night."
