This place was great for us...Bartolo was so helpful with ideas for hiking, local dining and transportation. The accommodation is very convenient to the harbor and bus transport and ferry port...lots of places to eat. Especially nice is the terrace which is at the top of the house. Make sure you are ok with stairs, our apartment was on the third floor. We loved our stay in Lipari! I would not recommend bringing a car, the roads are very narrow and the locals drive fast!
