What a place! This is a beautiful cottage (just like the photos) in a dream-like setting. We so enjoyed watching the magical sunset every day from the terrace, and being immersed in the beautiful nature of Lipari. This is really a place to come to to get away from it all, and experience an incredible part of Italy, unlike anywhere else. Yes, the cottage is isolated, which is part of its charm, but do be prepared for the distance from the centre of town (25 minutes drive) and the narrow and steep driveway from the cottage up to the main road that circulates the island. It was not an issue for us, but could be for some. We hired a car for the duration of our stay, and I would recommend this for anyone who visits the cottage as it really opens up the island for exploration and means you do not have to really on the (very) limited public transportation. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and loved Casa Zuleika!
