Claudio and his brothers, Pippo and Paulo are delightful hosts.
From the moment we made the booking, Claudio was really accessible, and available to ensure an easy meeting at the port of Lipari.
We had our own transport, but it was evident that even if we hadn't, Claudio could assist in arranging what we needed.
As we followed him up the mountain from the port, he stopped along the way, pointing out interesting sites and things that might make our stay even better (like great local beaches, supermarket, bars, eateries, etc.)
The actual accommodation was idyllic, as listed, one of four little villa-type apartments with gorgeous views of the island. The place was clean and stylishly decorated, with a kitchenette, bathroom, a spacious room for bed/ living area opening out to a little open aired front porch with personal table/chairs and hammock...
Shared areas were inviting, with sun beds and dining tables overlooking the spectacular vista.
Claudio, his brothers and the other guests were like a little community, one we very much felt like a welcomed part of, with offerings of shared meals and a drink on occasion, yet we also enjoyed as much independence and solitude as we liked. The environment felt very safe and if we needed anything during our stay, at least one of the three brothers was there to access.
We loved our time here, and definitely hope to visit again for a longer stay next time! We highly recommend this as an idyllic getaway!
Thank you, Claudio, Pippo and Paulo, for everything! Xxx
