This small apartment was perfect for our needs in Lipari. We were looking for a place to recharge and take it slow while having access to the amenities which Lipari and the nearby islands provide. The apartment is in the smaller port area of Lipari Island, a neighborhood called "Canneto", just around the bend from the main Lipari port where you will arrive. It’s a 10 min taxi ride from the larger port and “Centro” area. With the route running late into the night, a 2 Euro bus ride will take you to and from. This airbnb sits one block above the main Canneto strip (Via Marina Garibaldi) where you can catch the bus easily. The Via has places to eat, shops and cafes, while the beach runs alongside it. If you don’t like rocky beaches (I don’t) there are small stores there, where you can buy very low priced and very effective water shoes. While visiting Aeolia, don't miss out on visiting the Stromboli volcanic island with its beautiful black sand beaches. It is easy to take a boat from Canneto port for a day, or night, trip to Stromboli Island. Incredible! Alessia’s family greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the apartment, oriented us to where things were, and how to work the appliances etc. Thank you! The space is very well laid out. Great hot water, clothes washer, fridge, nice center table for eating or working, and comfy bed. Though one may need a fan for the bedroom to feel the AC in there, I was comfortable. Apartment has a fully working kitchen with dishes, pots, and pans for cooking. A great seafood restaurant is just 2 blocks away. It’s where we went on the first night to have fresh calamari. Just go down the walkway leading to Via Garibaldi, and make a left, its right there. Supermarkets with the best food are also to the left and right (on Via) both a 5 min walk. Please visit with Tano at the pastry shop when you go. All the shopkeepers and neighbors know one other. A very small and friendly community, felt at home, welcome, and very much at ease. We had an amazing time in Lipari and at this Airbnb. It was a great place to be based to be able to rest at the end of each day! Give our love to your wonderful neighbor Irene, Alessia!! Grazie.
