Excellent friendly and efficient service from Rosangela. She organised transport from the ferry port to the hotel (and return) and supervised our early booking in. Rosangela personally organised our preferred 8 hr sightseeing tour around Stromboli - calling the company, agreeing competitive prices, printing out the tickets and showing us where to go to catch the boat. We had an apartment type room (including a kitchen) which was large and clean and had a balcony (no tea / coffee making facilities though and the shower door was a bit of a tight squeeze for me!). Excellent infinity pool with sunbeds & umbrellas and a hot tub! Good hotel location - 15 mins walk to town centre & port and 5 mins to a small pebbly beach. Breakfast was good with plenty of cakes & pastries but no hot products - just a toaster. Good Value for Money and Would stay again.

“Great residence close to everything and a beach”

Tindara and her staff were welcoming and helpful, and their efficiency and hard work keeps the island moving! We stayed for one week.

Tindara and her staff were welcoming and helpful, and their efficiency and hard work keeps the island moving! We stayed for one week. The location is about 1.2 km from the Port, on the edge of the old town. You can walk through narrow old residential streets to the centre of town, the citadel and the harbours, in 10 minutes, with very few cars. The hotel is as clean as a whistle, the rooms are large, and we had a nice balcony to enjoy an evening drink and view down through the garden to the sea. We cooked for ourselves every night in the kitchenette. Every afternoon we swam at the little pebbly beach at the bottom of the street, 2 minutes from our room, with local families, and enjoyed this glimpse of life in Lipari. On the day we departed we appreciated the special early morning shuttle ride to the Port, preceded by an earlier than usual breakfast, offered by Tindara to make our day easier.

“LOVE!! Great place, very nice people. Highly recommend!”

Lovely place and even lovelier woman running it. Nice enough rooms with great views. Only downside is no elevator but they are getting them at the end of the year. Shuttle service to the marina included and couldn't ask for nice people.

“Some good bits and some bad bits…”

Stayed for 5 nights and there were some really good bits, the rooms are dated but I knew that when I booked and they are kept really clean with beds changed every day. Also the free shuttle to from the ferry way very welcome and the people in the hotel super friendly and helpful. The pool was cov… more

Stayed for 5 nights and there were some really good bits, the rooms are dated but I knew that when I booked and they are kept really clean with beds changed every day. Also the free shuttle to from the ferry way very welcome and the people in the hotel super friendly and helpful. The pool was covered and closed which was a shame and the breakfast is really really basic. The WiFi was also pretty useless, it didn’t work any of the time we were there, even if I sat in reception. I thought there may be a beach close by but it’s not really a beach, just access to the sea. Closest beach is a good hour away by bus and walk, but that was my fault, not the hotels. If I was to go back to Lipari, I think I’d stay somewhere else.
