Luigi was an outstanding host. He met us at the port and drove us to his lovely home in monte gallina where there is a fantastic view over the port of Lipari as well as Panarea and Stromboli. He advised us on how to get to a beautiful nearby beach (walking distance). The only (slight) negative is the fact that luigis house is so high in the mountain that in summer it's a bit too much to expect to walk to and from the port. Having said that, it would be hard to have such a beautiful view without being a little way out from the centre and Luigi kindly offered to pick us up whenever we needed him to during our stay. Alternatively Luigi will get the best deal at the scooter rental in the centre of lipari and it only takes 10-15 mins from his house to reach the centre by scooter. Luigi can also help you to arrange a day trip to panarea and Stromboli at a fair price. Overall we found Luigi to be very helpful and his Airbnb offers excellent value for money.
