The house is ideally located above Lipari town. The view overlooking Lipari, the harbor and Stromboli in the distance is really magical. Having dinner there on the terrace, eating delicious mussels, drinking sicilian wine while watching a distant thunderstorm over the sea in the setting sun was a truly awesome moment! The path linking the house the town is a lovely walk and will keep you fit! We did not have to rent a car even with our 2 year old daughter. We were really close Valle I Muria beach west of Lipari and the northern part of the island which covered in wild flowers and has stunning views of Vulcano and Ethna. We were greeted by Alessandro who on top of being very helpful was a lovely person to meet. We bumped into Alfredo in town who gracefully offered a baby cot (we had forgotten to mention our daughter would be with us) which he dropped by later that day. The house next door was vacant which gave us a very special family time. It was a holiday way beyond anything we had hoped for. We will be back soon!
