So I came to Lipari to work on a novel. I wanted a nice private set of room with a kitchen in a beautiful area close to the beach. I got exactly that. It was incredibly productive for me. I came here in February and stayed for two months. There are lots of things I liked about Denise's place. its set two blocks back from the beach, which is quite literally close enough that you can walk down a lovely romantic side street to the grocery store on the main drag, pick out a bottle of wine, and be back in five minutes. I would start my days cooking up some stove top coffee in the moka pot and walk down and stare at the beach and Stromboli in the distance. the town of Lipari is a 25 minute walk away and some incredible hiking is to be had. Denise was a lovely hostess. The place was very clean and Denise very very responsive.
