Paola's home sits atop a mountain (big hill?) that overlooks Lipari and the water. We had fresh fruit picked from the fruit trees around the house that was waiting for us in the kitchen. The house was big, equipped with a semi-private outdoor shower and two bathrooms. We easily accommodated 7. We had great AC in our room, which was a nice change from our previous place. The house was close enough to town that you could walk there, but I'd recommend taking a taxi if you have your belongings. This house is a gem- highly recommend it!
