We had a wonderful stay at Bartolo’s flat. It is in the historical centre of Lipari (but in a quiet little street) exactly as described: within 2 minutes’ walk from the port (which is very convenient for going to the other islands and for all the boat excursions which are a must, as they take you to see grottos, beaches non accessible by land), 2 mins from the bus/taxi stop, the supermarket and very close to the many shops and restaurants. It is very clean and cosy with a very comfortable bed (there are 2 in the room- 1 double and 1 single) and has got everything you could possibly need: a free Wi-Fi, a cable TV, air conditioning, a hair dryer, a fridge, there is also a kitchenette with a gas cooker and all the necessary utensils. On the top floor there is a lovely terrace with a view of the sea and the island - a perfect place to have breakfast and sunbathe. Bartolo was a very accommodating, helpful and flexible host with lots of positive energy and constant smile on his face! He is a local who is very passionate about his land and an ex-captain of the boat, so has a wealth of information about Lipari islands. He met us at the port, helped us with the luggage and took us to the flat, while explaining in detail on the way which places/beaches are good to go to, what to see/visit/do, good restaurants with fresh seafood, farmhouse restaurants etc. Bartolo also helped us to arrange the boat trips and accommodation to the other islands at really good prices (he just seem to know everyone! :)). A cosy flat, in a perfect location with an excellent host – would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to everyone! Grazie mille, Bartolo!
