Stromboli is the hidden gem of South of Italy. Experience incredible atmosphere of an active volcanic island, its sandy beaches, breathtaking cliffs, witness beautiful sunsets and enjoy the warm summer nights.
Why Stromboli you ask?
Logan Elliott (our chief adventure officer and an incredible entrepreneur) has visited and lived on Stromboli 4 times over the last 8 years whilst helping run the International Fire Dancing Festival and Retreat – Festa del Fuoco
Here is what he has to say:
“Each year I have connected with locals, tourists and travellers that have visited the island.
The island is a source of deep inspiration to me and I want to share this place with other like-minded entrepreneurs. The volcano itself is incredibly active and erupts every 20 minutes… What a great setting to learn more about entrepreneurship!”
“One of my most memorable moments on Stromboli was standing on rooftop at midnight.
The waves were crashing loudly on the beach below, there was an electric storm cloud in the distance with fork lightning and shooting stars were darting across the sky. Friends were sitting around me, sharing inspiring ideas. Meanwhile in the background, the volcano was erupting… I thought to myself – I have to bring others here to experience this transformational place.”
This retreat is a dream waiting to happen!
imagine how you’ll be feeling after 9 days with awesome entrepreneurs on a volcano.

Will I have access to stable internet/WIFI?
We cannot fully guarantee internet 100% of the time, however, you will have access to get your work done as needed. This is a very remote island and the WIFI can be unstable at times. It is unlikely we will have stable WIFI at our accommodation (but we are working on options for this), however, there are various nearby cafes (5min walk) that have WIFI that is relatively reliable (we have done Skype Audio fine there in the past, but not full video).
We strongly recommend you have your own data capable device such as a data card or local SIM card and reduce your reliance on a constant internet connection for the 9 days (also reduce your needs to record podcasts, upload content, have video skype calls).
Is travel included?
Travel from mainland Italy or Milazzo/Messina via ferry to Stromboli is included in the price. Once you are on the island, you can walk everywhere. You’ll be able to get to the island via ferry from Naples (mainland Italy) or Milazzo/Messina (Sicily). For flights we can recommend travel options but suggest you check out adioso.com for flights from other parts of Europe.
What is the shared accommodation like?
We are staying in several mediterranean style villas. Each room has 1-4 beds so you be sharing with others. Shared accommodation enables us to keep this retreat affordable for you to attend. We can discuss private options if this is something you would like (extra cost).
