shower no hot water basic room, breakfast terrible, no options

This is a good place for a stay in Lipari and as a base for excursions to the other Aeolian Islands. It is right in down town Lipari and only a 5-minute walk away from the ferry terminal. The rooms are somewhat sparsely furnished but the bathroom was clean and served its purpose. Worth mentioning was the breakfast which really was good (but you might want to bring your own cheese as this is generally off-menu with Italian breakfast) and was served in the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel with a nice view over the city. There was some noise but this was to be expected from an accommodation located down town and in a building that was constructed to standards different from those in use in countries like Germany or Switzerland.

The Staff, more than friendly, is familiar. You'll feel immediately at home there. The hotel is well managed, with some intelligent ideas. Cleanliness everywhere. Breakfast (included) was very good.

Lipari isle is almost desert in March (there are VERY few tourists), and so many services are unavailable. Restaurant in the hotel was closed too. Comprehensible, after all.
