If you’re looking for a semi-remote location on the island of Lipari this is pretty good! It’s a 7 mins bus journey from the main town, and on the edge of Canneto with quiet and privacy. We went off season (April) so the places to eat were quite limited in Canneto but they do have a very good supermarket so you don’t go without.
The beach in Canneto is nice and wasn’t busy at all and the little private beach was also a great little venture.
The apartment was reasonably clean, but be prepared for something rustic. Amenities are limited to towels and linens, and some kitchen basics. It’s plenty spacious and the terrace is lovely, with stunning views.
With 2 small children we never made it out to Stromboli on the night tours, but from our balcony we could see some of the volcanos activities in the distance clearly which was a thrill (be patient)!
Also the host organised a taxi pick up for us, with was a great relief and very kind. But note it’s just as easy to jump on a bus and a fraction of the price, which is what we opted for on our journey back.
Overall a good little stopover on our island adventure.
