Alessia's place is really adorable. Very clean, nicely decorated. Her family were kind hosts. I was a bit dubious about staying in Cannetto instead of Lipari but we loved it. Her place is located very close to the beach (there is no beach in Lipari). We enjoyed taking the 20 minute walk over the hill to the Spiaggio Bianco which is said to be the nicest beach on Lipari and it did indeed end up being our favorite beach. Also we were able to take a boat tour to Stromboli straight from Cannetto (with a discount because the company knows Alessia). Cannetto had everything we needed so we ended up going into Lipari (the town) just one afternoon to see the historical buildings and museums. Highly recommend Alessia's place.
