Wow, what a special place. We have - of course - read all the reviews, but we were still surprised. The views from the house and especially the sunset terasse are stunning (We spent most evenings with an Aprol Spritzz in our hands watching the sun go down). We were picked up at the harbour (thank you!) and driven back to it a week later. We loved the place. Comfortable bed, good kitchen, nice architecture, we used the grill to prepare fresh swordfish which we got at the harbour. The internet is slow but ok, one day it was off. (With fast internet we wouldn't hesitate and book the place for one month in winter and work there.) Some people who stayed there many years ago said in their reviews the place is secluded and you need a car. Now, there are houses around the place. Itdidn't bother us, but it can get noisy sometimes - tv sounds, kids screaming. If you are looking for total silence, look elsewhere. But maybe you don't mind being close to some life. In five minutes you are at the bus stop (some people are happy to tour the island just by bus and forget about renting a car.) 15 minutes by foot and you come across a good little supermarket. There are bars nearby and good restaurants (don't miss the antipasti at agriturismo Peppino). And so many things to do - hiking, biking, swimming, snorkeling, boating! We were very happy having our ebikes from Bruno for the whole week. Things you should be aware of: lots of moskitos - bring your anti-moskito lotion. Lots of ants. Clean up your crumbs in the kitchen. Otherwise, relax, enjoy and take in the Lipari sunsets.
