Ferdinando unfortunately was away at the time of out stay but emailed us and arranged for his friend Pasquale to meet us at the port and take us to his place. Thanks, Pasquale looked after us and drove us back to the port at the end of our stay. Yes, this is a 5 star location: the setting/view is superb, as pictured: a wonderful refuge from busy streets. The garden is colourful, the room solid with double-glazed windows and shutters, a good bathroom and a fair-sized bed-sit. The furniture is minimal: a small folding table with 2 simple chairs. There is room for two comfy chairs indoors which would be great, especially after a strenuous climb up Stromboli or even up the steep hill maybe 4km from Lipari town. The bed rolls away from the wall if you try to sit up and read. There was a clean linen pack, but we had to make the bed. Kitchen supplies are minimal: more crockery and real coffee for the espresso machine and some extras beyond oil and vinegar (eg pasta and sauces, drinks in frig as in other bnbs) especially as this place is a long way from any shops, would be good. Given the amazing view, a pair of binoculars would be appreciated. Better quality sheets and beach towels would be appropriate here. The outdoor concrete tiled table is very high, so thick padded vinyl-covered bench cushions on the concrete benches would make it more comfortable. Notes and a map re walks and the walk route to town, and to the bus stop would be helpful. Ferdinando seemed to be a really kind host, and a few of these extra touches would make his villa match the standard of its setting.
