I stayed three nights in Canneto, the second biggest town on the island and it was a great place to relax and get started to enjoy the island.
The apartment is really close to the beach in a very small alley and everything you need you find by walking a few minutes: supermarket, bakery, restaurants, even a scooter rental.
The appartment is fully equipped with kitchen, tv, washing machine, heating.
To reach the place you can take the bus from Lipari port or you can just walk through the tunnel (yes, there is a footpath next to the road!). Walking from the port to the house takes about 25 minutes. So it's not far from Lipari town.
Bernhard wasn't there himself, but a local person did the check in. It worked all as described in the email.
