Where to begin. After years and years of using Airbnb I can honestly say that Luigi is the kindest, most gracious, and accommodating host we've ever had the pleasure to stay with. He picked us up at the port, took us on a half-day tour of Lipari, shared his wine and food (and his adorable dog and cats), and happily ferried us around the island as we did different things. He has a kind heart and was a pleasure to hang out with.
And I haven't even mentioned his place yet. The view from his house is nothing short of breathtaking. His photos don't even do it justice. Watching the sun rise over the volcanic islands as we ate breakfast on his balcony was the highlight of our 3 weeks in Italy.
We spent 4 nights with Luigi at the end of our trip. If we'd stayed there at the beginning of our trip we may not have gone anywhere else.
