Lorella's place was a gem. It was up in the hills of Canneto, which is the town over from Lipari and thus not as crazy busy in the summer. We loved using the outdoor kitchen and waking up to the view of the sea and mountains. Lorella was super helpful in bringing our bags up to the apartment (as we were on a scooter), and arranging for us to get them back down to the port after our stay. She doesn't speak much english and we don't know much italian, but it was not a problem-- we spoke over message and also had our own independent plans for our stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
