It is hard not to fall in love with Sicily, harder not to fall in love with Lipari and even harder when staying at either Villa Margarita or Villa Jancura.
Our review and highest recommendation applies to each villa as we stayed in both.
Our host was graceful and full of life Lorella Cincotta. She is the inspiration behind the beautiful design of these villas. They are welcoming and charming, with breathtaking views of the sea and mountains overlooking Canneto. The pictures you see on the website do not give justice to the actual natural beauty of the site.
The charm of the villas and the fabulous view immediately put you in vacation mode, Sicilian style, feeling on top of the world.
Lorella is very welcoming and made sure our stay was unique. We arrived by ferry and she came to fetch us at the port. You are greeted by her genuine smile and great energy.
We had not yet concluded on a scooter rental. No problem, Lorella had kindly taken care of that for us, making sure we had an honest deal and that we could leave the scooter at the villa and not have to worry about its return.
We knew there was no wifi at the villas. Lorella made arrangements for us to be day guests at her family hotel, the Aktea, in Lipari city where we could enjoy not only being connected but also a fantastic swimming pool.
From an old Lipari family, Lorella knows the island well and is a trove of information.
Her kindness and sense of hospitality confirmed our love for Sicily. She was the perfect note in our moments on this beautiful eolian island.
We highly recommend.
