Thank you Bartolo and Simonetta!!! We stayed in truly amazing places with great hosts during our trip across Sicily, but Casa Gialla was the top one. Bartolo and Simonetta made us feel as part of their family, super friendly and caring and made our stay in Lipari just fantastic. The house and the surrounding garden is super beautiful, Bartolo's food and wine are of Michelin grade, the location of the house allows you to view the island from the top and the view makes your jaw drop. They advised us to go on a boat trip with their friend Barni (who is quite easily the rockstar of the island) - the trip was so good and entertaining, it needs a standalone review full of praise.
I am sure if we stayed someplace else, Lipari for us would have been a surely beautiful peace of land, surrounded with warm and crystal clear water (like Panarea or Stromboli which we briefly visited). But our stay at Casa Gialla made the experience rich and heart melting, we didn't want to leave and want to come back whenever possible. We could't thank you enough, Bartolo and Simonetta, our hearts are in Lipari now! Greetings to Grotta di Barni :) !
