As two American retired couples, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Floria di Arancio Lipari. We liked the idea that is was a little quieter than being in the central area yet only took 7 minutes to walk to the main street...13 minutes to Marina Corta where all the boat excurions happen. The bedrooms have air conditioning which was a blessing in the summer heat at night. There is a great patio to enjoy the outdoors and there is also a roof terrace with a nice valley view. The host, Walter, has a taxi friend who was available for transport if we needed it at a reasonable cost. The taxi also took us to Canneto Beach for a day at the beach and that was great! Walter was always very responsive pre-trip and upon arrival. He met us at the ferry to arrange a taxi for lodging. It is a bit of a walk from the port and the last little bit is uphill so we retired people recommend a taxi for sure! While we were there Walter was always available for questions or problems. There was a water issue the first day but he took us to a great little local hotel for the night (cost covered) which was actually rather nice since we were in the center of town for one night. But it was nice to get to our little slice Lipari/Sicily apartment the next day. Great job by Walter and this is a great price and apartment for a Lipari vacation. Highly Recommend!
