Wow. This is a great taste of what Sicilian life is like. Was welcomed as part of the family. A real experience. But I could have my own space as much as I wanted too. Whole apartment to myself. Lovely quiet scenic rustic secluded spot but only 10 mins walk to centre of Lipari town. I think all Italian beds are harder than I'm used to, but there was loads of extra bedding so I ended up quite comfy. I stayed in late March when nights are still cold: get Giuseppe to show you how to use the aircon as a heater. Tapwater ok for cleaning teeth and cooking but not for drinking. Had nice hot showers 5:30-6:30pm. Overall this place is pretty amazing. Family lovely and surroundings breathtaking.
