I have never been somewhere so idyllic in all my life. What a beatiful spot perched up on a hill, overlooking Etna, Vulcano, Filicudi, Alicudi and neverending mediterranean. And of course sun sets to die for.
Anoeta and Felix were so charming, sweet and helpful from start to finish - greeting us at the port in Lipari, giving us all the information you need about the island, the best fisherman to buy your fish from - must cook looks of fish on the BBQ - just exquisite. We'd recommend you visit the Regional Aeolian Archeological Museum - it is fascinating and gives you much more appreciation of the island's turbulent history.
In general Casetta Aeolian is just ideal if you'd like to get away from the crowds, enjoy some REAL peace and quiet (unless you choose of the great music CDs they have to listen to) and relax.
We hired a quad which was great to pop into town or get around - walking into Lipari town is lovely but you wouldn't want to do it everyday. Anoeta is very helpful with this too.
I couldn't imagine a more fantastic place on the island to stay
