Firstly communication with Emanuela was fantastic. We had a long trip from Palermo airport and she really helped us with train times and a taxi in Milazzo as well as guiding our taxi driver to the house.
The house is amazing, a great location high on a hill with magical views down to Lipari. It’s a 15 minute down hill walk into Lipari and if you go the other way you come to Canneto which has a fantastic big beach perfect for swimming and sunbathing as they have a couple of Lidos where you can hire sun beds and an umbrella. The sea is wonderful when we first swam there was volcanic pumice floating on the surface! It’s a nice town too.
Onto the house, it’s large and quiet with plenty of space. We were two, so had a fantastic bedroom each. It’s very nice to see the art and other things Emanuela has decorated with. Two great bathrooms with good showers. The kitchen has everything you need and there is an outside kitchen too. We bought fresh fish, squid and prawns in the town and cooked in the house.
When in the house we spent all our time on the massive terrace looking at the comings and goings in the harbour as the sun went down.
The garden is beautiful with lemon trees, rosemary and other beautiful plants.
We loved the house and I hope to return. Emanuela has created a great letting, I have used Airbnb extensively and this is one of my favourites.
