We loved the quietness of Lingua and would recommend Salina in general for the hikes, laid back atmosphere and scenery. The house was compact but had everything we needed bar a kettle for making tea (though that seems common in Italy!). The view was spectacular and the front patio was an additional living space with a relaxing swing chair. There was secure off street parking if needed though the bus to Santa Marina Salina met our needs well (less frequent on Sundays). On our last morning there was an electricity and water failure which we couldn’t rectify ourselves and didn’t seek helping as we were leaving.
