Lipari hotellia

Plussat: Highlights of the accomodation were the salt water pool and an incredible spread on offer for breakfast. Our room gave us a beautiful view over the water. Room had air conditioning and was serviced every day. The staff were very friendly and accomodating with a shuttle service available when we needed. Definitely not walking distance to the centre.

Plussat: The location is beautiful - stunning sea views and a nice pool. The staff were lovely.

Miinukset: It’s a charming place, but probably not at 4* standard. It needs a little investment boost to really take advantage of what it has to offer. The room didn’t feel perfect and the plastic outdoor chairs were a little 1995.

Plussat: On the Lipari waterfront, with stairs going down to the sea. Lovely views of Lipari Town and the sea... On arrival, we were welcomed by the charming and very helpful Sylvia, while on departure the receptionist was sour and would not give us any extra time for check out despite the hotel being half empty...

Miinukset: Overall, a great place, but in need of some renovation to restore it to its past glory...

Plussat: Excellent breakfast really good choice particularly the pastries. Stunning position with fabulous views over the bay. Very good free hotel minibus into Lipari or back to hotel. Excellent swimming pool, very clean and sparkling..

Miinukset: Staff in dining room could have been more interactive and attentive. Quality of cuisine for evening meals needs improving.

Plussat: Beautiful location, views from the balcony in our room was lovely. Nice breakfast , all round nice place to stay, wound recommend

Plussat: Beautiful hotel,. wonderful rooms helpful staff,.nice pool area, great views, overall very good.

Plussat: It is a nice place to stay. The view from our room was extraordinary.

Miinukset: The shower was cold every night. Breakfast got to be much of the same each day. Restaurant food was not of my liking but I am fussy.

Plussat: Beautiful location with seaview, relaxing swimmingpool, spacious rooms with nice beds, good breakfast with lots of variety (sweet and salty), bar and restaurant available and free shuttle to downtown/port. You can also walk to downtown within 15 minutes. The road to the hotel is adventurous, it is a high stroll up the mountain.

Miinukset: Our shower was kind of dark.

Plussat: A great view of the sea, the place is a little far from the center, but very calm and quiet. Very happy to stay there.

Plussat: Has a great location if you go summer time, with your family. Has its own seaside and marvellous sea. Pool from sea water. There is a free shuttle service to town center. We enjoyed the hotel in general.

Miinukset: Common places seems a bit out dates, needs renovation. It could be good if hotel restaurants upgrades food quality.

Plussat: The magnificent view of the Lipari island, the beautiful weather, the blue and clean sea and the quiet environment

Miinukset: The equipment of the hotel must be renewed expecially beds and showers. The floor surrounding the pool needs more cleanliness. No animation is provided, a disco is advertised but it is not present.

Plussat: it was nice

Plussat: It was a beautiful location, stunning views. Good and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Room could have been cleaner. Tile floors were always gritty

Plussat: Beautiful pool and location on coast. Great view from restaurant. Staff was friendly and helpful. Single room was ok - a bit small, but had all the necessities.

Miinukset:

Plussat: We liked the sea view from our balcony and from the hotel in general, the swimming pool is wonderful and saltwater and you can swim off the rocks into the sea. The hotel ambience and terrace is good and the room we had (a superior) was comfortable although I am not sure what made it superior except for the whirlpool bath, rather overpiced but still very enjoyable.

Miinukset: The hotel reception staff were not at all friendly and somewhat sour and there did not seem to be a shuttle bus to the town (which I would have expected from a hotel in this location and category) the walk can be an exhausting 15 minute walk up over a hill in the heat of the day and taxis are expensive.

Plussat: The view

Miinukset:

Plussat: The view

Miinukset:

Plussat: the pool is salt water and the location on the cliff is superb for relaxation

Miinukset: it's quite a walk up and down hills to get into town. The staff are not all very nice. The front desk crew tried to inflate my price. I don't know if this was deliberate or they were just rubbish at maths.

Plussat: It was a short stay, everything was perfect.

Plussat: Great location, nice room with beautiful view of the whole bay from the terrace. Nice reception and breakfast room staff. Free room upgrade. Good breakfast choice.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: Beautiful property! The hostess Maria was so helpful with everything. She upgraded us to sea/pool view. Suggested simple lunches for the kids that were not in the menu. I couldn’t be happier. The bed was large and comfortable. The pool was nice and clean, big enough for low season.

Miinukset: There was no shallow area in the pool. The breakfast was lacking food 1 hour before end, warm dishes were cold, they ran out of toast. Capuccino was different every time.

Plussat: Location, rooms and facilities excellent, including a lovely swimming pool.

Miinukset: Breakfast was poor, very limited choice. Also tried to book car through hotel, receptionist said couldn’t do it, I walked into town and 5 minutes late had a hire car!!

Plussat: Location above the harbor with nice view. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a bit simple and in inspired, but ok.

Plussat: Seaview room was great ! Staff very nice and very helpfull

Plussat: Everything was great: room, service and location.

Miinukset: Unfortunately the restaurant was close in October.

Plussat: Great view. Modern apartment and building. Friendly staff.

Plussat: Amazing little hotel overlooking the bay of Canneto. Each room was a wonderful view. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, with your own balcony or terrace and kitchen. Breakfast is very good and a lot of offers. Delicious coffee. Only 2 minutes to the beach The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and helped us a lot.

Plussat: Great view from our balcony. My partner, Jim, really liked it.

Miinukset: Air con not fully functional - we were very hot and had to open windows and incur the wrath of the neighbourhood’s Mosquitos. No WiFi in room. Canneto itself is a bit dead - Lipari much nicer.

Plussat: Stunning view over the bay. Modern but quite basic rooms and cleaned thoroughly each day. Quiet location most of the time. 5 minute walk down to the front and main streets with supermarket very handy. Also, 10 minute walk over cliff path to Spiaggia Blanca with beautiful swimming. Air conditioning good.

Plussat: The views from our balcony were spectacular. The rooms vhere spacious and clean, breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of food, the staff were incredibly helpful on any request or requirement and there were two air conditions in our rooms that reduced the heat in minutes on all hot days.

Miinukset: The bathroom towels where scratchy and needed to be softened and there was a far bit of an incline walking to & from the property.

Plussat: Nothing! We just wished we could have stayed longer!!

Miinukset: Everything!! Lovely spacious clean room with amazing views of the sea and beach. The balcony was great and area quiet with plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy

Plussat: The most beautiful setting in a very pleasant well run establishment

Miinukset: Having to leave!

Plussat: Great location - walking distance to beach front, shops and a bus stop. Bit of an uphill to the property but stunning sea views are the reward! Perfect little studio apartment; has everything you need. We planned to stay one night and ended up staying for three. Good breakfast; staff friendly and very helpful - they phoned when we were on our way over on the ferry and asked if we needed a lift to the apartment. All in all a great stay - thank you!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Best views overlooking Cannetto Bay a few minutes walk to supermarket - local marina provides trips to other beaches as well as the other islands saving you going back into Lipari town to get boats from there - great local restaurants - preferred Cannetto to Lipari Town as not so busy - local bus service - good selection for breakfast and great coffee

Plussat: Sea view, really clean and functional. Excellent value.

Plussat: Absolutely marvelous view from the room and balcony. Our apartment was nice, clean and had a good airco system. Sufficient scooter and boat rental in the immediate neighborhood, therefore suitable for nearby island hopping

Plussat: not a bad position, sea views, large spacious room

Miinukset: Although the hotel was a good price, cheapest around, but not so cheap that no one was able to us three days to fix air-conditioning, replace towels, throw away trash, deliver the toilet paper .... Hotel room was poorly equipped, we had no table. Even if reception runs 24 hours, we had to call the operator to our lodging. Breakfast was poor, only remnants. I do not think I ever came here.

Plussat: We stayed at 6 different hotels/apartments all over Sicily in this price range and this was clearly the best value for the money. Large, bright, clean rooms in the local architectural style. The sea view from our balcony was fantastic, especially with a bottle of local wine. The staff was friendly and helpful. We came with two fussy grandparents and a fussy baby, none of whom managed to find anything to complain about. Oltremare Residence hotel was the best place we stayed at in Sicily.

Miinukset: The kitchen could use a few more bowls and utensils (like all apartments we stayed at in Sicily). I'm sure Roberta would have helped us out had we bothered to ask her. But with this view at these prices, who really cares ?

Plussat: Beskfast was good. The staff and owner were very helpful.

Miinukset: The air conditioner in one of the rooms was very noisy and didnt work very well.

Plussat: The owner helped us to organize amazing trips

Plussat: A very friendly staff. Well localized

Miinukset: Shower not hot enough in the morning.

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful, breakfast was just right, and the pool and surrounds were very nice. There was nothing to take exception to, really.

Plussat: Newton was wonderful.

Plussat: Close to town.

Miinukset: Pool was too cold. Wi-fi didn’t extend far enough.

Plussat: Great view to the sea and the castle if you book a room with the sea view. Very friendly staff, free transfer available. Pool.

Miinukset: Payment was requested in cash due some system malfunction.

Plussat: I greatly appreciated the helpfulness of Newton in ensuring my family and I had an enjoyable stay. I also enjoyed the owner did a wonderful job arranging a boat excursion for us to see Stromboli.

Plussat: It was nice and clean.

Miinukset: We thought it was advertised with wi-fi When we arrived it was 10 minutes free per day and the €4.00 pr 1/2 hour. When you are travelling you need the wi-fi to find your next destination.

Plussat: Very clean and welcoming Hotel with good facilities.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: excellent hotel. very close to everything and staff could not be more helpful

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Gorgeous setting, immaculately clean and within minutes of our arrival, the staff made us feel like family. Our host went above and beyond to show us his beautiful island. Even taking us around himself when we got lost. It was the highlight of the vacation and I can't wait to return next year.

Plussat: Hotel was situated on a hill overlooking the sea.

Miinukset: The pool area and room terrace was very dusty with mould on the sun loungers.

Plussat: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, their level of english was very good whch made our stay that bit more enjoyable.

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Its location. Very quiet. Its few number of rooms makes the hotel friendly and accessible and like if you were at home.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very helpful and friendly people, they help you to organize all you want to do. Very nice pool with a fantastic view.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Beautiful hotel. The room was very nice and the pool is really really good! The staff were really friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Nice quiet hotel with fantastic service - and great location

Miinukset: the rooms are maybe a little small - but very nice anyway

Plussat:

Miinukset: Showers are definitely too small

Plussat: If you can, stay in Room 24! HUGE terrace overlooking the sea and islands. The location is lovely and peaceful, and the views are absolutely fantastic. The room was very clean and had all the essential amenities, including a hairdryer and a shower with strong water pressure. The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the main harbour (only for your arrival / departure, though - anything else and you'll have to get the local bus for €1.30 pp / one way). Lots of little restaurants, motorino hires and a beach all within walking distance. Located just 5 minutes drive away from the main bustle of Lipari town, this hotel is ideal for couples who want a quiet night's sleep and great views.

Miinukset: Several breakfast items were visibly / tasted mouldy - cakes, juice, and somehow... the coffee? When I pointed this out to staff, instead of simply removing the items in question from the buffet and apologizing, I was told the (visibly large cloud of) mould was icing sugar. When I suggested they try a slice of the cake, which they refused to do, I was then given a defensive description of how mould forms in humid areas and insistently told the cakes are baked fresh every day, despite this clearly not being true. This could have been a conversation which lasted 15 seconds, but instead it lasted 5 minutes and we came away feeling like we simply shouldn't have said anything. Breakfast & the staff's over-the-top reaction were the only downsides to our stay. Tips: get breakfast elsewhere & avoid talking to the staff and you'll be fine!

Plussat: There is a shuttle bus to pick us up and send us back to the Lipari. The view from the room is great. The room is spacious and clean.

Miinukset: It is not about the hotel. The beach in the island is just stones instead of sand. You need to take a bus to the Lipari but the bus stop is just on the main road

Plussat: Nice view, friendly and helping concierge. Free shuttle service. Good continental breakfast

Miinukset: Floor of breakfast room should be more clean. Pictures of jacuzzi pool posted at booking preview is „overrated“

Plussat: The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, very accomodating. The cleanliness of the room.

Miinukset: The distance to a greater choice of restaurants.

Plussat: Fantastic hotel, super service minded personnel, very good quality, and amazing view from our room (seaview, 2nd floor, large terassa). Perfect also with the free transfer to the ferry.

Miinukset: Perhaps some softener will help the towels :-)

Plussat: Flexibility to have twin beds, very good English, tips for tours and bus schedules, value

Plussat: The staff were very helpful where possible. They even delivered a lost valuable to us at our next hotel which was greatly appreciated. The hotel is a couple of hundred metres walk to the beach and has great views out to Stromboli.

Miinukset: The balcony furniture was two plastic chairs. Some slightly better quality furniture and a table would have greatly enhanced our enjoyment and use of our room's balcony.

Plussat: It´s a newly built hotel so all the interior is really stylish and nice. The view from our balcony was amazing.

Miinukset: We had an amazing balcony but we only had two chairs and no table -which would have been nice. The mini bar did not work unless your room key card was in the key card holder in the room, which meant that our drinks were never really cold and since nobody had stayed in the room a while before we came, the fridge was completely warm.

Plussat: The hotel room was very nice.

Miinukset: I didn't like the small tv. I didn't like that hotel workers didn't allow personally guest to come visit you inside your room. If i am paying $200+ euros a night for a room. i should be able to bring anyone that i want in my room. I am not a child. I wouldn't recommend this hotel just for that fact.

Plussat: The Hotel is clean and the building is really new. It is close to the beach, few bars around where is possible to have lunch and dinner. The personnel is lovely. With the buses you can easily reach Lipari town. Beautiful sea.Breakfast is ok.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The hotel is very new and looks like the photos on their website. Stunning views of Cannetto and the islands. Close to cafes and beach.

Miinukset: No i was avery positive experience.

Plussat: Excellent staff- very helpful and friendly. Lots of delicious breakfast options. Very good size room. Whole hotel was very clean, tidy and smart.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent Staff were very helpful Shuttle bus always available to take us into town or to the port Room was lovely, very large with its own private balcony Room was cleaned every day

Miinukset: Not keen on the "pool" towels - these were micro-fibre travel towels.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Good value for money.

Miinukset: Breakfast wasn’t great!

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Nice room - beautiful swimming pool - excellent breakfast

Miinukset: 10 minutes walking from city centre - limited services proposed (no laundry, etc)

Plussat: The room was big and comfortable and was equipped with a fridge. It also had a private terrace.

Miinukset: The room's door didn't work well and it was difficult to close. Breakfast could have been better; it seemed the yogurts had gone bad and the products' quality was not so good. Too expensive accommodation only because it is located in the Eolian Islands. Price is too high for the quality, especially taking into account that it is not located in the centre of Lipari, so most of the time you depend on the transportation service the hotel offers.

Plussat: Excellent hotel! One of the best I have ever been too (and I travel a lot). Borgo Eolie is hidden in the most perfect picturesque garden at the foot of beautiful mountain. Every facility is kept in a perfect condition, staff is extremely attentive, kind and willing to help, they really do care for their guests. Every room has either a balcony or terrace where you get the perfect view. Pool is always clean, breakfast is wonderful (typical Sicilian pastries, omelettes, yogurts, fruits, cereals, etc.). The hotel also provide free shuttle service that can get you to the port or city center whenever you want. However it’s only a pleasant 10 min walk to the center. Moreover, Borgo Eolie also gives lots of discounts for the local restaurants. This is also a perfect spot to stay if you’re into hiking: there are lots of treks starting nearby the hotel. We can’t wait to come back for more!

Miinukset: My only recommendation is to use less disposable packagings at breakfast (jams, honey, etc.). As much as I understand it could be much cheaper but there’s too much plastic waste. The other concern is a coffee machine: Nescafé is an absolute disaster (especially for Italian standards of good espresso). Anyways, thanks for making our honeymoon so special ❤️

Plussat: Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff and free shuttle bus to town and the port.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: lovely hotel, super helpful staff!

Plussat: This is a beautiful hotel, designed as a Mattise painting. The rooms are very comfortable and staff friendly. Perfect place would like to stay longer.

Miinukset: We should have stayed longer

Plussat: Nice room and pool. Staff very helpful and welcoming. We booked a scooter to travel around for the day and the reception lady was very helpful and recommended places for us to visit thank you!

Miinukset: Having to pay for pool towels or to use jacuzzi. We had our own beach towels and weren’t fussed on the jacuzzi however the prices aren’t cheap to stay here so really it should be included.

Plussat: The hotel staff was really helpful & service oriented, we appreciate their warm helpful attitude.

Miinukset: Very bad WiFi Ac didn’t work well, after the 1st night we were given another room & granted a discount. Anyway with the heat outside I can’t but mention this significant disadvantage.

Plussat: Geli was an absolute gem. She helped us in so many ways to make our time spent in Lipari better than we could have done without her.

Miinukset: Our "king sized" bed was actually 2 twin beds that were just pushed together. Nothing kept them in place together and we constantly had to keep pushing them back together. We finally had to give up and treated the bed as two separate twins which is what they were. I would recommend this as a romantic place however the bed severely limits how romantic one can be.

Plussat: The open green garden with great views. Just outside of the centre. Great pool to relax and have a drink after a day out. Private terrace/balcony for all rooms. Friendly, professional, down to earth staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast is good, but we would prefer less quantity and more quality. Would be better if there is more opportunity to have breakfast outside instead of inside. Not a problem for us, but is a 10 minute walk to town.

Plussat: Wonderful place. The building is so charming (you really feel as being in a small sea village!), new, clean, everything! Our room was big, perfectly clean, with a wonderful terrace from where we could see the harbour and the village! Very nice staff, they can help you virtually on everything.

Miinukset: No pool (I know, the sea is better, but given the small amount of beaches in Lipari...). Breakfast could be a bit more varied.

Plussat: The staff were very freindly and cooperative, and had the information we wanted about tours, ferrys etc.

Miinukset: The rooms were good, but did not have the promised views.Not the sea on one room, and the "garden view", side, didnt have any garden.

Plussat: Good, quiet location overlooking Lipari. Although the hotel is a little way from the center of the town, shuttle bus service is provided..

Plussat: Central location.

Miinukset: Property is very dated.

Plussat: Great service from your staff. Lovely room but the bathroom and shower were way too small. The power points were old and stiff, and not many to choose from. The TV did not work and after advising reception it didnt get fixed. Breakfast was amazing, and staff were great with assistance.

Miinukset: The bathroom was way too small.

Plussat: We stayed there as 4 families - so we had a total of 7 rooms. Carmen and her staff were very helpful in trying to get us all close together and they were very accommodating and patient with our 10 very excited children. The hotel was just a 2 minute walk to the main street (beach) and the breakfast and coffee every morning was great. It was great value for money and the kitchenettes were fantastic - especially when the kids were hungry after being at the beach all day. Thank you Carmen, Lucia and the rest of the staff for making our stay so memorable.

Miinukset: Nothing - Carmen and her staff were amazing .

Plussat: Location, friendly and helpful staff

Plussat: This was our third time at this location and it's because we enjoy this establishment we keep coming back Staff are only too eager to assist and it's in the centre of the little town of Canneto and two minutes walk to the beach

Miinukset: Having a ground level room had it's advantage however the open shower was not to our liking. Water all over the bathroom is not something we are used to

Plussat: I have really appreciated the availability of the hotel manager in satisfying all our needs. They have been great in suggesting us in which restaurants have dinner, which places to visit and to take care of the room cleanliness. The fruit and the croissants at the breakfast were always fresh and excellent.

Plussat: Loved everything! Slept SO well, Beds comfortable, lovely balcony, excellent power shower, super helpful reception, very attractive interior and breakfast good. Wish we could stay longer but they are full!

Miinukset: Loo seat a bit rickety!

Plussat: Really helpful staff. Very spacious room. Great location.

Miinukset: Toilet seat broken and very small shower.

Plussat: What a lovely hotel! The aspect is gorgeous with views across the Aeolian Sea....

Miinukset: Hmmmmm.....we loved everything.

Plussat: Mahtavat maisemat!

Plussat: Beautiful location and view

Miinukset: Far from the city center, not in a particularly walkable path - we rented a scooter to get to town

Plussat: Amazing service!! amazing room and atmosphere

Miinukset: We loved everything!

Plussat: Great services, the view and the pool great and good value for service !

Plussat: What an amazing hotel! The breakfast and dinners, which we included, were outstanding. Such gracious, welcoming and attentive staff. Our views from our room and the pool are the stuff of beautiful dreams.

Plussat: The breakfast was especially good (esp. bread, jam and cornetto) as was the view from the pool. The room had its own terrace, which was nice, and the general location was quiet. Service was excellent

Plussat: Very very nice people. The transfer service is shared with the other 3 hotels owned by the same people. It works really well. The room was confortable, but a little bit « full » with all the furniture. Our triple room was at the back of the property, so no sea view. It was on 3 levels, like a corridor with wider areas for the rooms (the single bed was in a separate room with it’s own door) and a landing for the wardrobe The rooms have airers to dry clothes which is very thoughtful.

Miinukset: We only stayed one night.

Plussat: charming and friendly

Plussat: Authentic local accomodation. Hotel is a bit “retro” already but very clean and staff is super friendly. Plus it is 2 minutes from the ferry port. Highly recommended!

Plussat: Great size room .

Miinukset: Liked all

Plussat: Perfect location in Lipari-city only two minutes from the ferry harbour. Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was also quite good. I loved the maritime interior of the hotel.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Excellent location just off ferry port in Lipari. Excellent terrace in the inner courtyard. Sicilian breakfast. There was no problem with leaving luggage for 2 hours after check-out. Option of paying by credit card.

Miinukset:

Plussat: We picked this hotel at the last minute upon arriving on Lipari. It is a ways from town and had to pay 30 Euros to get to it. I would say it was worth it. Very friendly staff. And the room had a kitchenette. Free breakfast at a restaurant a couple doors down. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Miinukset: Nothing but we only planned a one night stay.

Plussat: Location : not to far from the port. View from the terrace is beautifull.

Plussat: Very old fashioned building. The supplies and the furnitures are often real masterpiece of design and contemporary paintings. The staff is very kind and solution oriented.

Miinukset: The property is abandoned. No refurbishing at all. The rooms are too old and the moquette is unbelievably the same of the origins (‘80s? Earlier?). Breakfast is not more than a 2/3 stars standard.

Plussat: Location, property well taken care of. Comfortable rooms. Space.

Plussat: This hotel was great location, clean & staff very helpful

Miinukset: Clean, location & comfortable.

Plussat: Excellent location, beautiful views from terrace, very helpful staff, delicious meals

Plussat: Very friendly staff, clean rooms but they could improve with their breakfast.

Plussat: Location. Next to the port. View from the terrace is stunning

Miinukset: Room was very dark, on the first floor facing inner courtyard

Plussat: Location in old town. Near everything. Room ambience. Breakfast in hotel on top floor. Staff in hotel.

Plussat: Great location and cozy room.

Miinukset: The hotel does not provide a storage room, we left our luggage around the corridor at the main entrance without any security. Breakfast wasn't enough at all I suggest to offer more options to eat and the waiter were very rude with us, he wasn't even able to say any word in English or try to guess what I was asking.

Plussat: The hotel staff kindness and availability create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. I certainly recommend the place!!

Plussat: The hotel is fully decorated with typical aeolian objects. The location is very central but retired a bit of the noisy principal street. Breakfast includes typical Italian antipasti, more than a simple continental breakfast. Great terrace to enjoy breakfast.

Miinukset: The room and bathroom were small. I missed some warm food options for breakfast

Plussat: Great location, very nice and helpful staff, cozy place.

Miinukset: Facility is a bit old but this makes the place itself real. Nothing to complain except that if you are staying at the back of the garden (room66 or 64), there will a dog from the neighbor barking at night.

Plussat: Beautiful interior decor, not far from the Main Street and both marinas

Miinukset: My room, Room 8, was a little close to reception, so it was a bit noisy. It didn’t bother me, but some people might not like it

Plussat: If you like to have your breakfast in the garden book this hotel. Everything else is also alright.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Helpful . Very well run operation. Very clean. Unique venue. Good location. Unusual and fascinating decor.

Plussat: Location was excellent & the room was very clean. The staff were polite and the breakfast was delicious and plenty of it.

Miinukset: Too expensive for the facility. The beds were very hard.

Plussat: In the old city, good location, very close to everything, clean, standard breakfast, very helpful staff. The hotel has a very nice design with an interesting collection with everything you can think of.

Plussat: The location in the town of Lipari was a real plus.....a block from the main street but close to everything. Instructions on the website are a little vague but ergot there. They also offered a pick up service from the ferry if you ring on arrival - alas we didn't know this until we got there. Nonethess good sized room and breakfast was a feast everyday.

Plussat: Sicily-Palermo-Lipari...best people as far I know. Always pleasant. Thank you very much. / Rolf & Maria, North Sweden

Plussat: This hotel is most intresting hotel we ever seen. You can just sit and watch all the old items. All the staff are very friendly, they offer you free taxi to the port. Breakfast is amazing.

Plussat: Extensive and delicious breakfast. Quirky decor in house and gardens. Calm and quiet with helpful, friendly English speaking staff.

Plussat: i like very much decor and the lovely staff people .

Plussat: Great B&an. Located about 500 meters from main road which also leads to port Rooms are clean and include all you need.

Plussat: Very convenient, clean, friendly

Plussat: The rooms are spotless, we could not fault the cleanliness, the floors are tiled throughout and immaculate. The location is not too far from the main street down to the port and there are good food stores selling fruit and supplies just down the hill from the hotel.

Miinukset: When we arrived we were given a room with 2 single beds which felt more like a room with a kitchen and large table with 2 beds in different corners of the room. We asked to change and the owner managed to change us to a double room the following night which felt more comfortable and less like a kitchen. However in both rooms the shower was small and the beds were very firm.

Plussat: Everything was good the breakfast could have been a little more but otherwise good. The only thing was the luggage that had to be taken up the steps they could but something better for elderly people.

Miinukset: One thing I can suggest is that other persons booking in at the hotel should take less luggage has the steps are not very good.

Plussat: Beautiful room with a little Terrasse and sea view. Very nice and clean. They even anticipated breakfast because we wanted to leave early.

Miinukset: There were even eggs in the morning but they would have been nicer fresh and warm. Everything else was lovely. In the room we had a kitchen but didn’t find anything to clean the dishes

Plussat: A gently staff, good breakfast, although made only for us. Many thanks.

Miinukset: The price could be lower in this really not high season as there is no tourists at the islands at all. To put some carpets on the floor of rooms would be a good idea while in the bathroom it is quite necessary.

Plussat: Friendly, helpfull staff. Away from the town centre, yet within 5 minutes walk. Comfortable and clean rooms.

Miinukset: Card machine did not work, and I had to get cash from the cash machine in town centre - to pay for the room.

Plussat: Lovely quiet area. Own apartment-type room with private terrace area. Room clean and everything in good condition. 5 to 10 minutes walk to the main street and harbours. Local shops provide everything you'll need. Generous continental breakfast included. Bella zona tranquilla. Proprio appartamento tipo camera con terrazza privata zona.

Miinukset: Quite a few irritations because of higher expectations for the price: Rules posted everywhere which didn't make us feel like welcome guests. For example, we were instructed (in red and underlined) to take all our rubbish every day to the bins out on the road, and threatened with excess charges for cleaning the kitchen area. Why should we do our own cleaning and rubbish removal?

Plussat: The breakfast was lovely, there was plenty on offer and they served til 10am. It was also in a very good position to the main corso but far enough away to not to be in the main hub of noise all night. The bed was very comfortable too which is always good news.

Miinukset: The decor could be updated - the room was a good size but was quite dark. The only other thing was when they cleaned the room each morning, they always left the inside door open. (I can't understand why)

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff, great room

Miinukset: Didn’t like is too harsh, but property is starting to show its age. Some maintenance is required, e.g. shower leaking slightly and showing it’s age

Plussat: Good location close to the harbour and center of Lipari Swimming pool

Miinukset: Feels a bit outdated - needs some refurbishing Staff not very engaging. End of season blues ? Breakfast ok but not in line with expectations for a four star hotel

Plussat: We loved everything.. room service was amazing Francesca and Fatima were very nice and professional. Pool was amazing we had a lot of laughs. Also a young lady at the pool bar made us the best pineapple daiquiri. Also we received a brekky package for the whole family upon checkout which I thought was a nice treat

Miinukset: When there were no scrambled eggs at breakfast

Plussat: Beautiful view. Comfortable bed. Lovely woman on front desk. Very helpful. Good location for walking to ferry and into town.

Plussat: Great pool Quite Tonnes of space

Plussat: Friendly helpfull staff. Made us very wecome and also made our special occasion more special. A thousand Thanks to a stunning Hotel and staff . Our stay was outstanding , the food was very good , fabulous pool , great room,lovely gardens perfect location.Thank you Aktea.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff, great pool

Miinukset: Pricey for the category but it was the highest season

Plussat: The pool is magnificent and the room with the balcony is pretty and welcoming..Loved the double doors out to the balcony.

Miinukset: A dog was constantly barking and we had to keep our door closed..Construction in the area,but when not there this must be a very quiet luxury hotel.

Plussat: The rooms were large and comfortable. The pool was beautiful.

Miinukset: Restaurant staff was cold and unfriendly. Food was average nothing exceptional. We sent back an entree which was not to our liking and ordered a replacement entree and were charged for both.

Plussat: Margarita on reception provided excellent customer service, calling our previous hotel to locate an item left behind there and also proactively arranging an excursion for us based on very limited (and somewhat inaccurate) information we provided. The restaurant staff were charming as well.

Miinukset: The hotel could consider extending breakfast until 10.30. I noticed a number of people still eating when everything was cleared away promptly at 10.00.

Plussat: Very nice pool and garden area, the room was large and comfortable.

Miinukset: Staff was rather inept. Whatever you asked for - they had to call the director. They were not able to help with the transport to Catania airport (you need to take the ferry from Lipari to Milazzo, then a bus).

Plussat: Beatiful place, nice staff, great breakfast

Plussat: Overall, the hotel stay was great. The room, facilities, grounds, etc were very clean. The environment was peaceful, and if we ever make it back to Lipari, this is where we will stay.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The staff and their service was exceptional. So was the cuisine. Do ask for their homemade Cannoli and the Malvasia from Salina to complement it! The three chefs are in the same class as the three tenors. The food was extraordinary, they recommended some excellent local wines and they even catered personally for the vegetarians in our party. They picked us up at the harbour and dropped us off at 630 am for our return trip at no extra charge. We look forward to spending a longer holiday there on our next visit!

Miinukset:

Plussat: everything, location, staff, room, breakfast, the pool

Miinukset:

Plussat: Swimming pool

Miinukset: Dinner - little choice of menu

Plussat: nice and friendly staff, spacious and clean rooms

Miinukset: we booked half-board. the menu was a bit repetitive, but food in general ok.

Plussat: All staff were wonderful, very eager to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were offered a free room upgrade on arrival which was very much appreciated. The free shuttle bus to assist with ferry arrival and departure was great. This hotel certainly deserves it’s high ranking. 100% recommended this place for your Lipari adventure.

Plussat: The property is absolutely stunning, every single item has been paid attention and put thete with a purpose. The location is perfect, quiet yet close to everything, room is spotlessly clean and comfortable, buffet breakfast is great and wine list is impressive.

Plussat: Lovely hotel, quiet, clean, friendly staff !

Plussat: This was an unexpectedly nice place to stay on Lipari. The room was not large, but, including a terrace was quite comfortable. The air conditioning worked well, a critical feature in 30 C heat and 90% humidity. The staff was unfailingly pleasant, had character and were genuinely helpful and friendly. The pool was a lifesaver after a day hiking around the island. The breakfast was very good (especially by Italian standards!). We ate lunch once and dinner twice at the hotel and the food was comparable in quality to good restaurants in the city. There is a cozy bar with a great selection. The barista was extremely helpful with suggestions about the city.

Miinukset: There are never enough electrical outlets in older buildings. This property was better than most and I could plug in my laptop and cellphone without too much trouble.

Plussat: It’s very near centre very convenient. Love a lots to having a cup of tea in the afternoon beside the swimming pool. Staffs are very friendly and sweet.

Plussat: The stay was pleasant and the staff went above and beyond ! Overall excellent experience.

Plussat: We liked the location of the hotel was in a quiet more residential area but only a short walk to the small port and restaurants. We also enjoyed the pool & breakfasts

Plussat: English speaking Staff very helpful- Nice breakfast.

Plussat: Extremely friendly staff, very helpful and acomodating. A bautiful Hotel, highly recommend it!!! Great location also!

Miinukset: Could have better breakfast, more variety and fresh bread.

Plussat: Trully friendly manager and receptionists. Courtesy van brough us from the port to the hotel and back. Luggage brought to the room and all facilities pointed out to us. Superb room and services. Tasteful decoration and real comfort. Located in a nice and quiet street besides another hotel and a fantastic restaurant. Just 4 or 5 minutes walk from Marina Corta and Corso Vittorio Emanuele

Miinukset: Staff serving breakfast: Nothing reprovable but not as friendly as the rest of the staff.

Plussat: The hotel is one of Lipari's best.Its location is 5 minutes to the main street. There is internet but it didn't work for us in the room (with cable) we needed to go to the reception hall.

Miinukset: I wish more ppl knew english, ask for Alicia (if I recall well). You can see that there is not a lot of staff and thus the service is fair but not good; for example I remember us taking the luggage to the room even on arrival. But they had a shuttle to the port which was very convenient.

Plussat: The friendlyness of the staff and the facilities, for example the fantastically clean and warm swimming pool, the jacuzzi on the roof and the sun beds. Location was great aswell.

Plussat: It's a lovely hotel and has a nice pool. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The free internet was easy to use, in the lounge area of the hotel. The roof gardens were also very pleasant.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Staff, room and swimming pool

Miinukset:

Plussat: Uima-altaasta ja aamiaisesta (kylmä).

Plussat: Best speaking Italian ever met within this hotel staff - Ms Melissa; cleanliness - they changed the towels even twice a day; serenity of the surroundings - a residential area not assaulted by tourists; good taste implicit in everything ... Overall great.

Miinukset: No garden available - we did not check though the "terrace garden" and they recommended a tourist office offering trips which did not prove to be serious, this should really be taken care of and I think they already did due to our complaint.

Plussat: The quiet location. comfortable rooms.

Miinukset: There was a conference at the hotel with a lot of people. This made it a bit uncomfortable to use to pool area during the day.
