We had a lovely time at Serge's accommodation in Aquacalda. It's a very sleepy village with 3 or 4 nice restaurants/bars - the perfect spot for a quiet holiday surrounded by beautiful nature. The pebble beach is just a few steps away from the apartment with its lovely clear water - which we swam in twice a day. We didn't feel the need to hire a car or bike. A regular bus shuttled us to other parts of the island including Lipari which was only 15-20mins. We took a boat trip from Lipari to the lovely island of Salina. There's lots of beautiful coastal walks on the island. Serge was very helpful and the accommodation was very clean and well-equipped. Highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful break.
