I stayed at this beautiful place after Eastern for a week and I loved it. Alvise's place is probably the best you can gat on the island. Great view of sea and heavenvery relaxing and you are not too remote, overlooking port activities. During my stay the island was still in winter sleep, thus very quiet, perfect for me, but maybe not for everyone. Summer is different with more activities and people and the Alise's place is booked well. My challenge was to get to Alicdi in one day from Zurich, without having to stay overnight in Lipari as the last traghetto is living Milazzo 13:20, 3 hours + to get to Alicudi. Summer is a bit faster if you travel via Palermo.
Alvis is supported very well locally by Michaela, who knows everything and everyone on the island. She is a great support for you, and manages your requirements, such as the mulos to get your luggage up to the house
Great experience and perfect if you want to recharge your batteries.
