We, means two families with two kids each, spent two weeks late July/early August in this spacious, well-kept villa with spectacular view on Lipari and Volcano. We had a great time—thanks to the beautiful setting of the Aeolian islands, the wonderful beaches, lively Lipari and Canneto, excellent restaurants and food and, last but not least, very kind local people. The house is close to both towns/villages on a secluded spot on a remote hill of the island. You need a car or vespa to get around, or to go to the supermarket. Due to the lack of trails walking to the nearby places is not a real option, not even for hikers. And the bus stop is too far away.

Highs
- We had wonderful breakfasts and dinners on the big terrace.
- Spacious, clean rooms with tasteful furniture.
- The well-equipped kitchen including the separate outdoor kitchen and grill are perfect for those who love to cook.
- The table tennis in the back of the house, on a tiny terrace, was a centre of action for the boys.
- You can read all day in the hammock on the terrace and enjoy the view on the garden and the islands.
- Lipari and the Aeolian islands offer all you need to a relaxed summer holiday.

Lows
- The WLAN did not work, and was not put to work during our stay.
- One morning we woke up without running water, another without electricity. Though Emanuela was quick in helping us to fix the problems.
- During the high season you will hear the discotheques from Lipari town until early morning.
- While we prefer a house without air conditioning, with temperatures during daytime up to 40 degrees (not Fahrenheit) the bedrooms were hot at night.
- Not at all Emanuela’s fault: There are jellyfish on the beaches. They hurt.
