a serene, quiet, clean, authentic, and beautiful place! A friend told me he prefers Porticello over a lot of locations in Lipari and he was right. The beaches are beautiful and uncrowded, the atmosphere is authentic, informal, and relaxed, and the history is fascinating. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, always available when we needed them, very communicative, and just overall wonderful people who did everything they could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The property is extremely clean, very nicely furnished and decorated, quiet, and has spectacular views. Highly recommended.
