What makes Bartolo’s place so special is...Bartolo and his sister, Maria! They have painstakingly restored an 800 year old homestead into a lovely Airbnb with a magnificent view. Formerly a flax and linen business, with looms, they now run a full service bnb, complete with a lovely breakfast, in a location with a view of the water in all directions. If you ask, there are maps and guides that will lead you to walks with a magnificent view of the coastline. One caveat is the location: you either need a car, or you need to depend upon the bus service (with a bus stop across the street) if you want to go to the town of Lipari. Since we are Americans, of course we rented a car, because it is our custom to drive everywhere! But if you are patient, you can take the bus to town. All around, a lovely stay, and highly recommended.
