Lo Nardo Accommodation ★★★

"From the very start of planning my trip to departure, I had no issues what so ever in communicating with the owners. They answered all my questions no matter what day or time it was! I live in the US, so you need to realize the time difference. They were always there to respond and put my mind at ease. I just recently stayed at this accommodation for 6 nights. The place is unbelievable!!! It is cheerful & pretty, very clean, has everything you need or want, the owners are very kind and they ask you to call them if you need anything at any time, you can use the rooftop terrace area and there is also a washing machine there to use if you need it, beautiful views, it is close to pretty much everything of walking distance, and I felt safe. I have no complaints and would rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+. I was even met at the port on arrival and it was a Sunday afternoon, WOW!!!! Impressive! I look forward to returning💙 Thank you for a great stay!"

Hotel Mea - Aeolian Charme ★★★★

"Beautiful hotel with amazing views of Lipari port & ocean surrounding. Super clean room, comprehensive breakfast with lovely service (big thank you to the head waiter who taught me about espresso sizes and how to order a long black coffee😁), in general excellent service all around (nothing too much for the reception folk), pool is clean & beautifully situated with ocean views, and massage service is a good price & the most relaxing massage I’ve had! The only drawback is the transport to & from the port which is only 200m (uphill for arrival) - hotel charges €15-20 for 1 person and taxi charges £20 for 2 people. You can easily walk down to the port with your bags but it would be nice if the hotel offered complementary pickup given it’s a quality hotel."

Hotel Cutimare - Aeolian Charme ★★★★

"This was my first trip to the Aeolian Islands. A bit of a hike from Catania airport but well worth the effort (bus to Milazzo - 1 hour - and then hydrofoil ferry to Lipari). The hotel is charming and clean, and the staff are extremly attentive to guests' needs (My A/C unit didn't work, so I got an upgrade to a junior suite with terrace) and friendly without being invasive. The sea views and dawn sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking from the roof terrace where you can also enjoy a pre-dinner/pre-lunch drink. Excellent breakfast buffet and I'd recommend halfboard as the restaurant on the top of the hill (you get picked-up and dropped back at the hotel) has excellent fish fare even on the set menu, as well as a fine wine selection, available by the generous glass. The beach is right in front of the hotel and has sun loungers available. The beach is also volcanic stone which is where the hotel takes its name: "cutimare" means "ciottole" in Italian or stones. Buy a pair of rubber shoes in Lipari to save your feet from experiencing excruicating pain getting in and out of the water, although the locals walk across the stones effortlessly. This was not my case! However, the stone beach has an upside - not an ideal place for young children and families, so the beach is almost "adult" only and quiet. On my final Sunday in June, I had the beach to myself. The sea is crystalline. I used taxis but if you have a car, there are some lovely places to visit around the island or you can do a boat excursion from Lipari to explore the other islands. I added a week here after holidaying in Trentino, Barcelona, Spain and Minorca and, of all the places, I loved Lipari and Cultimare the best. In fact, I'll be returning to Sicily at the end of August. And I'd like to go back next year ... Happy holidays, folks!"

Hotel Aura ★★★

"Nice structure in the center of Vulcano, not far from the port and the beaches. Kind and helpful staff. Clean rooms equipped with smart TV, air conditioning, hairdryer, fridge. There is also a really nice swimming pool with hydromassage. The only thing that could be improved is the breakfast, the essentials are there, maybe it could be larger and more varied. Good quality/price ratio, recommended."

Hotel Villa Augustus ★★★

"I am not one to write outrageous reviews but I have to be honest. The staff was lacking hospitality in my opinion. In particular one member of staff who worked late at night, and would scream at my kids to be quiet as we entered. This same staff member then followed them to their room and confronted them, yelling at them, making more noise then they were originally. We stayed two nights, and both nights my kids were yelled at to be quiet before they even made a peep. This led to us nick naming this hotel “the silent hotel”. The rooms were fine, nothing extraordinary, they served their purpose. However, I would say the showers are a bit small. Breakfast was good. What would truly enhance the experience at the hotel is a more welcoming atmosphere and friendlier staff. A few smiles and hospitable attitude could go a long way in making guests feel more at home and appreciated. I would not recommend this hotel for big families or families with young children who may make some noise."

Hotel Villa Enrica - Aeolian Charme ★★★★

"We stayed at the Hotel Villa Enrica and had a lovely time. Fantastic views, nice pool area and friendly staff. It's about a 15 minute walk to the town so was easy to get there."

Eolia Rooms Lipari ★★

Hotel Aktea ★★★★

"We stayed five nights at the Hotel Aktea when visiting Lipari and the other Aeolian islands. The service was excellent- They could not have been more gracious and accommodating. They helped us find and book several tours, helped with restaurant recommendations reservations and directions, and were generally friendly and pleasant. The rooms were simple but spacious and comfortable and ours looked onto the wildly gorgeous huge pool. Breakfast had a wide variety of sweets, as well as cereals yogurts, breads meats and cheeses. Would 100% return."

Hotel Eros ★★★★

"The service and food was excellent. Our waiter Anil Kumar was very kind and helpful. I loved everything we ordered especially the mushroom bao and crispy mushrooms.. We highly recommend this place! :)"
