Cristina’s apartment is a great option for your first time to Lipari, it is conveniently located near the port and close to plenty of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets etc. Cristina was an excellent communicator and her husband met us at the port which was very kind and helpful. The apartment and balconies are very spacious and we enjoyed eating dinner outside looking at the view. I recommend hiring a car to explore the island and try visit some off the beaten track beaches!
