"Excellent hotel and staff"…read more We spent last week at this hotel in Lipari. The hotel is nicely situated. It is a few minutes away (walking) from the points of departure of various ports and also very close to restaurants and shops. They served a very nice breakfast in the morning which included a variety of meats, some egg (usually scrambled), cheeses, breads, pastries and croissants. They would bring you fresh cappuccinos in the morning on request as well. The hotel staff was both courteous and friendly, and although some of them didn't speak English well, it was never an issue. We had requested a quad room for my wife and two kids and the space was somewhat limited, as is typical of most hotels in Italy. However, once you got used to it, everything we needed was there. The only negative was the lack of an iron in the entire hotel. Since I was giving research seminars it would have been nice to have crisply ironed shirts but it worked out okay. The hotel also has a nice swimming pool which my kids enjoyed quite a bit. This is a nice boutique type hotel with good value, excellent service, and of course the aeolian islands are a wonderful place to visit.

Great hotel on a beautiful and peaceful island. I'm glad I went there at the end of my mad dash…read moretrip around Italy or I it may have been the only part of Sicily I ever saw. Perfect for couples or just to relax and unwind. The rooms are clean and quiet with a great view and the best bathrooms in Sicily. The staff was very pleasant and extremely helpful. The island has no cars, so the hotel has you picked up at the ferry in a golf cart. The pool is great and there is a small (very) beach below the hotel, it is tough to get up and down from the beach.

Awesome hotel and staff on the beautiful island of Salina. We were welcomed immediately upon…read moreentering and were given a tour of the property. Only 12 rooms so guests get personalized attention. It has more of a Villa feel than a hotel. Like staying at someone's incredibly beautiful home. We arrived at lunch time and decided to have lunch at the hotel. Everything is homemade with fresh local ingredients even the beer is locally made. The pool is a nice size for swimming or just relaxing and looking at the mountains or sea. They also have a sulfer tub which nobody tried. It looked a bit scary. They have really cool covered lounge chairs with privacy netting. Exceptionally clean hotel. The owner takes a lot of pride in her hotel and it shows. She even designed every room. It has a Mediterranean look and feel. Very relaxing and comfortable. Rooms are a nice size with an outdoor balcony including a chair, table and hammock chair. They left us fresh flowers and chocolates as a welcome gift. Only downside is the town is down a hill and I think I made a wrong turn and it took us much longer to find the restaurant. If you walk there are stray dogs but they seem harmless, and we also bumped into a rat on a fence so just keep that in mind if wildlife bothers you. One other thing if you don't have a car transportation is expensive. Definitely a great place to spend a few days or a week just to relax in a peaceful, beautiful setting with a warm helpful staff.

Best place to stay on Salina. Peaceful and tranquil. The…read morerooms are very simple but the location and setting are unbeatable. Upon booking we were offered a free boat trip around the island which was the highlight of our trip. This place is paradise.

I had such a nice stay in Il Delfino that I came back twice during the same vacation…read more Il Delfino not only has excellent food, especially fish and pasta, but also offers acommodation. Some rooms are on top of the restaurant, some are in a very nice and quiet backyard building. Both types of rooms are very spacious, absolutely well-kept, modern and friendly. The bed-sheats are comfortable and good quality, the matresses new. Honestly, of about 12 B&Bs that I saw between Cefalu and Stromboli this was the one I liked most and felt most at home. I got along very well with the owners and staff, they are helpful, friendly and they have the cutest dog, Twist.
