Staying here is a warm and enriching experience.
Firstly the house and gardens: Bedrooms are large, comfortable and cool and open onto a large covered outdoor area with communal kitchen. The gardens are beautiful and full of flowers and food reflecting Marcello and Paola's philosophy of living sustainably. There are sweeping views of countryside, Lipari town and the ocean. There are numerous places to sit and relax.
Secondly, the food: We enjoyed beautiful breakfasts alongside other guests every morning. A wonderful start to each day.
Thirdly, the hospitality: Marcello and Paola are like family. You feel like you are coming home and being welcomed and nurtured with good food, conversation and quiet space. We loved our conversations with Marcello and we learnt so much. All of their recommendations for things to do and restaurants were tested by us and we're wonderful!
We also appreciated being able to rent a car for a modest amount on two of our days, and also the laundry service.
Overall a full and beautiful experience. Stay with Marcello and Paola. You will not be disappointed.
