The Hotel Residence Acquacalda is a hamlet which extends completely along the beach front and is dominated by the majestic white pumice mountain, the quarries of which, along with Turkey, are unique to Europe.
The European Union has allocated funds for a pumice museum visitor centre to be built in a nearby location, aiming at exploiting the old factory buildings where the precious stone was once worked and the old iron wharfs used to load the merchant ships.
Built in full respect of past traditions and in the comfort of the present, from the relics of old buildings, where they worked the famous pumice stone, this new hotel, in typical Aeolian style, consists of two/three floors and has 21 one to two bedroom apartments giving a total of about 50 beds.
