Casa Mariva is a fantastic house just outside the town of Lipari. It is on a hill that overlooks the town and the sea with really great views, especially from the terrace. The house is surrounded by olive trees, fig trees and typical mediterranean plants.
It has two double rooms and a single room. The kitchen is nice and spacious. The bathroom is ok and it has an outside shower with views to the sea that is great in the summertime.
Ivan is a great host that has taken care of us throughout outlr stay and made sure that we had everything we needed. He picked us up at hte ferry port and droppes us off the last day. He even brought us fresh fruit from his organic orchard. We tried his pear jam and his homegrown Sicilian capers. He put us in contact with Geraldine, who took us on her boat around the island reaching wild beaches that we couldn’t get to by car otherwise.
In summary: great house, great host, great island.
