It was really a romatic getaway! First of all: the view is indescribable!!! The cassetta is nice and cosy.
We chose not to have any car or scooter in our first week - it depends how much you enjoy hiking. It takes about 40 min downhill - and appr. 1 hour really steep uphill (ca. 300 altitude) from the house to Lipari City. So, be prepared to have a tough way whenever you want to go for foodshopping or having some townlife in Lipari City :) (In case...there is the taxi driver, who is great.) On the other hand, once you are up, you have one of the most beautiful places on earth and a pool to recover again. Once you get used to it you can easily hike to many places. For getting around the island it's good to rent a car/scooter. And for trips to other islands we chose the normal boat transportation instead of organised trips in a group...For colder, windy days stay at home and heat up the little oven inside - dry wood needs to be searched before though :)
All in all, it was fantastic and Anoeta is a great and helpful host!
