From the moment we walked into Nicole's villa we knew we made the right choice. The location is perfect - only a 10 minute walk from the main port of Lipari. What's even better is the quiet beach just steps away from the villa, which is a blessing after a long day of walking around in the hot Sicilian sun. That said, the town is beautiful and there are tons of excursions that can be booked at a moment's notice. The atmosphere of the villa is fantastic. The apartment is beautifully decorated, with a charming but modern design. The A/C worked wonders and the kitchen had everything you need to cook. The villa's grounds are beautifully decorated as well. There are bikes that can be used daily, and the rooftop lounge has some of the most stunning views I've ever seen in person. Lastly, Nicole and her partner are two of the nicest people we've met travelling. They gave us fantastic recommendations, immediately provided me with aloe when I was stung (completely my fault) and really made us feel at home throughout our stay. Overall we can't say enough positive things about our stay here and I will DEFINITELY return!
