We are looking for a quaint and convenient place with sea view if possible to stay in Lipari for two nights in May.
Not sure how quaint, but a couple of years ago I stayed at Hotel Odissea in the Canetto area of Lipari (near beaches), about ten minutes by bus to the harbor. My room had a terrace with a view of Stromboli. Breakfast included, currently the double rate with sea view is about €60. Convenient to bus stop if you don't have a car.
I guess the best Island to stay is Salina. Less touristy and beautiful Landacape. Contact Tommaso PANTE From www.sunway.it email [email protected] he is a tour guide and lives on the Aeolians.
