A beautiful villa with an overwhelming view
We travel a lot, and stay mostly in a rented house. So we can compare this villa to others pretty well. We do love this villa particularly. It is the one where we said we do want to come back as soon as possible.
The villa is situated on a hillside with of a number of other houses. From the 3 terraces and the poolside you have a beautiful view into a bay to the sea. At the left side of the bay is a hill. You can see only a single building on top of it. If one follows the little street up this hill (10 min by foot, 1 min by car), you will have a beautiful view down to the town of Lipari, to the western part of the island, and to other islands up to Stromboli. At the right side of the bay are hills with a few other houses. A canyon leads down to a beach, and from the villa you can usually see sailboats anchored there. At the horizon you see the coastline of Sicilia, particularly beautiful at night when you see the lights over there. The villa does not stand isolated, but you will see the neighbors to the right - which are very friendly - only from the upper terrace. On the lower 2 terraces and the pool you have the impression that you are alone on this hillside. Actually, the villa is situated so quietly, that the loudest sound in the morning is usually the crowing of some cocks and the cackle of chicken. At night it is so silent that the loudest sound is the hoot of a screech owl.
Although the rooms in the villa are not very spacious, this is in no way a disadvantage since you will anyway be most of the time on one of the 3 spacious terraces or at the poolside. Actually, you have practically all facilities that you have at your home. The villa is furnished extraordinarily tastefully, and we immediately felt as if this would be our home that we furnished by ourselves. In many other houses that we rented, the "good pieces" were taken away and closed up by the owners, but here you feel that you are welcome to enjoy the villa like the owners do.
To the owners: Francesco was extremely helpful to prepare our stay. He even bought for us the ferry tickets and met us at the ferry to give them to us, arranged that we were guided from the port to the house, gave great tips for restaurants and places to visit, and even left for us (since we arrived Saturday late night) a dinner including Sicilian wine.
The villa and the Aeolian islands are beautiful, Francesco is extremely friendly and helpful, we had a wonderful holiday, and we can really recommend to book it!
