We loved staying at the apartment. It was in a terrific location. Nicole was wonderful and is willing to pick you up at the port if necessary, although it is only a 15 minute walk. The apartment is in what we thought was the best place to stay in Lipari, a quiet part of town with beautiful views of the ocean, but a short walk to restaurants and the castle. I highly recommend the castle museum, which has a fantastic collection of Greek artifacts. We were happy that we stopped at Lipari to see the castle and town before heading on to Salina. Salina had a beautiful countryside, but we didn't think the towns compared to Lipari.
I would definitely recommend visiting Lipari and staying at this apartment.
