This is truly one of the best places I have ever stayed — and I’ve done a lot of travelling! The view from the terrace is absolutely stunning, the rooms are lovely and there’s just a special kind of atmosphere that you somehow feel straight away. Claudio and his brothers were friendly, fun and incredibly helpful. Claudio met us off the ferry and helped us book a sunset hike up Stromboli the next day — which turned out to be a fantastic experience. They also do a great breakfast and evening meals, which you eat on the terrace looking out to sea or up at the stars. It’s a fair distance out of Lipari town, and up a steep hill, but, if you don’t mind that, just book. I guarantee you won’t regret it. We can’t wait to go back.
