Claudio is a friendly and knowledgeable host. He picked us up from the ferry and drove us up to the villa and shared all of his local recommendations. Pictures cannot do the view (or Lipari in general) justice; it’s breathtaking and majestic. The villa is comfortable, quiet, and perfect for exploring the island. Would recommend either renting a scooter or car upon arrival as the house is high up in elevation. Highly, highly suggest staying here!
