Or, spend the day soaking in the Jacuzzi on the shaded lower terrace. Breakfast is included and can be taken outdoors at the long dining table, with a side helping of caldera views. Inside, rooms with traditional vaulted ceilings and white-stone walls are made grand with gilded mirrors and billowing white curtains. Hand-carved furnishings feel fit for a 19th-century sea captain in the sunny living room and you can picture him poring over navigation charts at the antique desk in the office area.
