Casa Pompelmo

Patrizia is a super host, réactiv and always up to manage everything you will need. Canetto is a better spot to be located in Lipari. Quiet with a real beach 2mn from apartment.

This accommodation is ok, but quite basic and expensive for what it is. The balcony out the front of our unit was a nice place to sit and there are lots of gardens and trees around. We had a number of quite unpleasant interactions with the owner who was away for the week and seemed determined to treat us with suspicion. However, there are a lot of reviews here saying how nice she is, so perhaps she was just having a bad week.

Be aware that if you ask the owner to book a taxi from the port, you will have to pay €25 for the taxi AND €25 for the service of arranging the booking. There are plenty of taxis at the port so just arrange your own.

Very nice and clean apartment, we had amazing time and the host is very kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

We really liked our stay - the neighborhood is very nice, quiet and very close to the beach. The trees and shrubs around the house keep the area pleasantly cool, even on hot days. The terrace was our favorite place to eat the breakfasts and read books - we also had an amazing sea view from there. Very close to the house, we had a bakery, few supermarkets, tabacco shop, caffe, fish shop and a pier from which ships sailed to other islands. Concerning our host, Patrizia - she was great. She organized a trip to Volcano and Panarea + Stromboli from the sea. She was very kind, helpful and patient. She prepared for us fresh fruits and water, in the kitchen we had everything we needed to prepare food including spices, tea, coffee, olive oil etc. She was answering all our questions, making sure we were ok and advising us places to see, eat, rent a scooter etc. There was also another lady, Tania, if I remember well, she was also very kind - she offered us khaki fruits from the local tree and entertained us with a conversation from time to time. We regret we didn't book a longer stay - I wish I could enjoy the peace and beauty of this island for longer. Maybe we will come back - then we will definitely contact Patrizia to book a stay again.

THAT VIEW. It felt like such a privilege to wake up and come home every day to such a breathtaking vista and the peace and quiet of an island village. It was so nice to be close to all the amenities of Lipari without being IN the tourist zoo—it forced us to slow down, which was exactly what we needed. It’s a short (albeit steep) walk uphill from a lovely stone beach, excellent cafe, and the best breakfast spot we’ve found so far in Sicily. Patrizia was a wonderful host—she gave great recommendations for food and also hooked us up with a boat ride that was one of the highlights of our vacation. We would LOVE to come back for a longer stay.
