Fantastic and peaceful place! Most welcoming and helpful staff. Astouning view from the hotel. The swimming-pool area is very beautiful and relaxing. Excellent breakfast. The kitchen is well furnished with all accessories you might need to cook your meals. Little supermarkets at 10 minutes'walk. THANKS again SO MUCH to our hosts who informed us that our ferry was cancelled (the ferry company Siremar was supposed to text us but as we booked through a website -and not directly through Siremar- they did not!! Thanks to the precious help of our hosts, we managed to change all our plans in time🙏🙏🙏

Nothing. Perfect from the very first minute when we arrived to the last one when we left 👍!!

Excellent boutique hotel in Stromboli. I loved everything about it. Our apartment was facing the sea and it was just beautiful, not to mention the amount of space we had for ourselves, the terrace, and the common space for the pool. We loved every single moment spent at Il Gabbiano and I will definitely come back soon. Very highly recommended!

Everything was perfect. The mattresses could be a little bit more comfortable. I also had an issue with hit water. I didn't call because it was in the middle of the night, but I'm sure they would have helped me right away!

We loved the location close to the beach. The kids enjoyed the pool and I adored the Sun lounges as it was very hot. It felt like an oasis, you could hang out infront of your room on the couches in privacy as you had the sheer curtains. The room was very clean and modern, the towels the softest towel I have experienced in Italy. Breakfast is delicious with a huge variety to eat. The staff were so nice and always ready for a chat. Next time we come will book a 2 room to give kids a bit of there own space.

as we visited during the "off-season" we got a tremendous deal. Family unit with 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, etc. Great! Marcella contacted us beforehand with all the details. Questions were answered immediately. The welcome was warm and efficient. Since not many eating places open during that time of the year we followed her suggestion and were not disappointed. Visiting Stromboli for experiencing the volcanic island is one thing but I could easily imagine Il Gabbiano for just a relaxing retreat with the family (or on my own for that matter). The breakfast was good and ample - excellent start into the day.

if I were to stay for longer I would enjoy a bar.....;-)

absolutely fantastic place. The kitchen works really well and a lovely place to stay. Fabulous views of sea and volcano, great breakfast and lovely staff. we went in February and were upgraded to an apartment with a kitchen as the island's restaurants were closed. The supermarket had everything we needed, and the room came with coffee, tea, water, milk and jam. Perfect.

it was all fantastic. Because the island was so quiet in Feb, the restaurants were all closed, but I think that usually a few stay open over the winter. The other basic shops were open.

An absolutely wonderful, romantic, tiny hotel. Everything is just perfect, the beautiful building, the big room with two baths and gigantic living room (with extra sleeping place and kitchen) we had, the garden, the pool, the location, the friendly staff. Staff does everything you ask them to do, cooks delicious food for you if you want to eat "at home". Everything was clean and very well maintained. From the flat roof, we could see the beautiful village and the sea on one side, the majestic Stromboli on the other side. We were totally overwhelmed. To the black volcanic beach, it was a few minutes down the road (with stairs). Federica, the charming owner, came to greet us personally and after our much too short time even allowed us a late check out. This tiny hotel is perfect for a short but unforgettable sightseeing stay on this cute little island but also for a much longer stay, if you just need peace and want to chill out. Since it is so romantic, it would be even nice for a honey moon or romantic couples. Even our daughter (8y) loved it here, despite there is no playground. A good hint is to take Gian Luca and his small dog as a taxi from the harbor to the hotel, as it is not so close. The ride with his golf cart is quite a lot of fun for young and old and saves you some labor. Of course you have to walk to the osservatorio in the evening and see the eruptions of majestic Stromboli in the dark!

Absolutely nothing!

Adorable staff, I was traveling solo and they invited me to have breakfast with them and have nice talks, lots of good recommendations of Sicilia. The room they picked for me as beautiful, spacious, with a beautiful view to the volcano. The swimming pool regarding the volcano was fantastic. I hope I can go there again next year! Thank you staff! :)

It was a little too expensive for a single occupancy. Everything was perfect anyway.

It was a really nice accommodation. Super clean and beautiful. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the nice view. We could see the sea and the volcano from the terrace. There basic needs like water, milk and coffee were already there, they keep everything clean and give new towels every day. When you arrive or check-out take a taxi (golf car, much fun) for a small fee so you don’t have to walk with your luggage. But everything is on walking distance, even with kids.

The bed was too hard for us.

A stunning place - very stylish and exceptionally clean. Myself plus husband, daughter and her boyfriend stayed overnight in a one bedroomed apartment with a citrus garden which was beautiful and suited our needs very well. A point to note is that the one bathroom is situated off the bedroom - fine for us but may not have worked so well for a longer trip. Having said that we wished we were staying longer at Il Gabbiano - the poolside area is beautiful, the people were very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was perfect. A lovely stay.

Nothing at all to dislike.

The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Being early season, not many food options available on the island, Marcella insisted on providing breakfast material the night before as we were leaving early in the morning, it was it lifesaver, and enough to serve as dinner and breakfast

It was perfect, a forecourt, patio, living area, bedroom and back common patio
