Stefano was very good at communicating prior to our trip and was there to meet us although it was brief as he was not living on the Island and was therefore not close by. Therefore we turned to the hotel next to the apartment who were brilliant with helping us with all our enquiries throughout our trip and also provided us with wifi for a small fee. The staff there really were amazing for us english speakers! It would be helpful as a suggestion if Stefano was able to leave some maps and local information in the apartment to get people started from the tourist office.

We enjoyed the location of the apartment which is about a 20min walk from the port, 7mins from the Marina, and is also 30 seconds to a small beach which you can partly see from the terrace and we enjoyed swimming there.

The apartment is consistent with the pictures and was comfortable for our stay.

Two things that were tricky was that the shower in the bathroom is not working well - the holder is broken and also the shower head shoots water over the top of the shower and wets the entire bathroom which was hard to manage. The front lock also gave us a lot of problems to lock up which sounds like a small thing but we spent a lot of time trying to turn the key, it maybe needs some attention so it will loosen up.

Both these things are easily fixed and hopefully the next people will not have these issues during the summer period. Overall we loved the Island of Lipari and the people and had a fabulous stay! Thank you Stefano!
