We can’t say enough about how accommodating and generous Luigi and Stefania are. The location is magical — high above the city with breathtaking views of the ocean, the other islands, and the old city — but they shuttled us around to the beach and the city centre. We were given fresh eggs and organic produce to cook with and fresh baked goodies every morning, along with homemade yogurt and preserves. Stefania’s handmade olive soap is so moisturizing, we bought some to take home. The couple are doing something very special in Lipari — organic farming, raising donkeys (Luigi loves them) and cats and dogs and chickens, living sustainably, and respecting the earth. But in a positive, fun way, not preachy. We were sorry to leave after a couple of days. It was nourishing for our souls and our bodies. And we had such fun!
