The villa apartment in Canneto was perfect for our family of 3. It is very close to the sea and the main beach area with cafés and shops. It's not a problem if you don't hire a car - the host Denise is very friendly & helpful. She met us at the ferry & we could take the local bus to Lipari which in only 3 minutes away. Denise also arranged our Panarea + Stromboli day trip with an excellent trek company which we would highly recommend. Also thanks to Denise's lovely mama, they both made it a great holiday on a beautiful island. We would definitely return!
