What a place! We spent some lovely days in Lipari and were extremely happy that we booked one of Claudio’s apartments. He is a honest, hard working man with great hospitality and love for his friends and family. They run a family business with several apartments around town, and he and his brother is often on the move to serve their guests.
He picked us up at the dock and drove us to the apartment. After check in, his brother drove us back in to town in a Tuk-Tuk-car, and even gave us an extra tour of the mountain on the way down.
The apartment is up in the hills, a 20 min walk or 10 minutes by car (taxi €20) from the city centre. We would recommend renting a car for your stay. Some of the scooters do not handle the steep hillsides.
You can walk to a beach with great sunset-view in the evening. It’s about 15 minutes.
The place was clean and the pool area was nice. There are some bugs in the nearby forest so remember to close the doors at night.
One evening Claudio and his brother cooked a dinner for us with local food and red wine (€25 per person). Simple, but very genuine and cosy.
All in all a great stay, and a very good time at Claudio’s place.
Strongly recommended!
