Alfredo was a great host. He picked up my friend and I at the port, gave us the lowdown and tour of the island as he drove us up to his cottage, and gave some great recommendations for places to eat and see. And was kind enough to hookup us with Vespa rentals.
He is extremely responsive and even came late at night to help us when we got lost driving around on the island ( which you can't go wrong with in Lipari, a great place to wander and get lost).
The cottage is beautiful, clean and spacious and the view is stunning. Grab some food from the local market and cook up a great meal and just enjoy the mountain top view. Or take an afternoon nap in the hammock. Also the neighbors are super friendly and even gave us some great locally fresh picked lemons and rosemary for our meals.
A definite must stay place if you want to experience the island as a local and get the real feel of the island.
We hope to be back.
