The climb up to the house is steep and uneven in places but once you are up the house it is incredibly isolated and the views are stunning, on one side Canneto, Panarea, and Stromboli, on the other Vulcano, Sicily, Etna and even Calabria on clear days. Alfredo is a great host and will assist with moving luggage and supplies up to the house on his quad bike. The house is very well equipped so you can remain at the house in the peaceful location or you can go into the lively town of Lipari where there are great restaurants, interesting historical sights and a huge selection of boat trips to local beaches and other islands. We had a car so we could park at the base of the track, otherwise the walk back from town is a bit of a work out. We will always remember our time on the beautiful terrace of this house cooking and eating the wonderful local produce and contemplating the view.
