We were originally staying in Bernard's flat for four nights, and as soon as we got there we extended it by another night as we had such a good feeling about the place! We loved Lipari and the flat was perfect for me and my friend. We had to contact a friend of Bernard's who met us off the bus from the main town, and there was no problem there. It was spacious, clean and had everything you would need for a good holiday. It was in a great location next to the beach and there were taxi boats to take you to other beaches on the island. Being in Canneto, slightly out of Lipari town was fine as it was more relaxed and you could get into the main town by a frequent bus service that takes less than ten minutes. If there were one thing that I could say to improve the place, it would be to have kitchen staples provided... eg salt, oil as these things come in very handy yet it is a bit of a pain to buy when you are only staying a few days. Overall our stay in Lipari has been the highlight of our trip to Sicily, we absolutely loved it, wonderful sea and friendly people. If I went back I would definitely stay in Bernard's flat again. Thanks Bernard!
