We absolutely adored this property, it became like a home to us. Marcello and Paola are the most wonderful hosts, knowledgeable, kind, generous and welcoming. We had the room upstairs and it was divine. The home prepared breakfast in the morning is really something to look forward to, absolutely amazing! For us, staying at Al Salvatore Di Lipari, was an immersion in Sicilian culture, we would not consider staying anywhere else if and when we return to Lipiri. We are so grateful to have had this travel experience.

The property is a fair way from town but to be honest it is away from the hustle and bustle and the perfect place to retreat to at the end of a day exploring. Perched high on the hill, the views are breathtaking, you do not get this staying in town. We have nothing to complain about, it was so perfect for us.

B&B Al Salvatore is a lovely old home on two levels overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Cacti, oleander, and blooms of all kinds surround the house. The rooms are very nice, but the hosts, Paola and Marcello are even nicer. Paola, an artist as well as a chef, does the breakfasts and the occasional dinner (which is extra). But the food! The evening! The company! Al Salvatore and its hosts brings out the best.

Marcello picked up us up at the dock, which was very helpful, but you will need to figure out how to get around--taxi? bus? Or the ever present Sicilian scooter.

Marcello was so nice and accommodating. Breakfast was creative and fresh. The view from the gardens is amazing. Never forget Strombolichio, very sweet cat who loves being adored! The hospitality of Marcello, Paola and the staff cannot be beat. We had a short stay mixed with all return guests and felt welcome. We would love to go back and spend more time. Recommend this place!

This place is so beautiful. After a few days, I felt more relaxed than I have felt in many years. The surroundings and garden are sublime, and the breakfast is just unbelievably delicious. The hosts, Marcello and Paola, make you feel like you're part of their family, which I loved. It's not a luxury hotel, but it's partly because of that that you feel so at peace there. You feel immersed in the place in a way that carries you away from whatever stresses are part of your usual life.

It's hot on the island and there is no AC -- there are huge ceiling fans and I was comfortable, but if you don't like heat, you could have trouble.

Marcello and Paola were delightful hosts who were so helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Their BandB is excellent for mind, body and spirit. Whilst Marcello’s knowledge across everything from the ancient history of Lipari to which birds are currently migrating is amazing, Paola’s cooking skills and artistic touches are superb. They are a very warm, welcoming couple who have a wonderful rustic abode.

Stay at B&B Al Salvatore Di Lipari was great choice. Marcelo picked us up from the port with his oldschool fiat. During the ride, we had a chance to listen to history of Lipari. Marcelo is great host,very helpful and with a big knowledge. Property is located 25 minutes walk from centre of Lipari on the heel, with amazing view. There is a free parking on the plot. Breakfast was absolutely amazing - traditional, tasty, simple sicilian dishes ( homemade), interesting talks with other guests. colourful table ware. Paula, Marcelo's wife is amazing artist who takes care of interior design, furniture, details, which as an architect I really appreciated.

Nothing to add.

A genuine place with genuinely friendly owners. Very homely, personal and comfortable. Lovely garden and surroundings with an excellent home cooked breakfast .

Not easily accessible. Although quite a pleasant walk it was a steep walk up from the town which took 40 minutes. The near beach also not very accessible.

Marcello and Paula are exceptional hosts. Marcello provided a short tour and history, and Paula provided delicious breakfasts every day. The views were beyond our expectations, and Marcello did not fail in his recommendations and arrangements. Fantastic memories were made.

Marcello and Paola are perfect hosts and the rooms are very nice. They serve a wonderful selfmade breakfast. For other meals an outdoor kitchen can be used and is very good equipped. Highly recommended.

Marcello was absolutely charming and with his witty Whatsapps guided us in to the home port through choppy Spring seas and cancellations. He then met us in his vintage Fiat and made the drive home a fascinating little tour of towering Al Salvatore and the epic view to Vulcano at the observatory. And of course, being an academic, you also get a superior level of history and science thrown in from Marcello for free! Then you have the icing-on-the-cake of arriving at this beautiful hilltop B&B. So, we had already been picked by the host in a classic car, taken to a photographer's dream location and the garden is full of wonderful cacti and succulents - which means that three of my main interests in life were already covered on arrival. We were fortunate to get the room attached to the top level, with a bonus amount of space and privacy. It was very comfortable, with some quirky art and a lovely vintage dresser ... our kind of place. The terrace has additional comfy sofas for all to use whilst taking in that vibrant vista. Breakfast here is rightly legendary and what the lovely Paola produces from the garden is extraordinay, not only the horticulture involved but also the culinary skills and presentation. Almost everything is homegrown & homemade - even the nuts! Both sweet & savoury tastes are catered for. Top Tips: The B&B's epic view means that yes, this place is high up! There is a little bus (€1.30) but the schedule is a bit sparse, the last one being 4.40pm from town (the 3pm one didn't show up!). There is a straight road down through a narrow valley to walk to town, it is not residential - mainly boatyards. After a night out you may want to get a taxi back (€15). You can also see the island and do some hiking in one day's car rental. We had fun in a yellow Punto soft-top from the 'dudes' by the ferry ticket office, but it was not well maintained and so well, hmmm ... maybe ask Marcello for his own recommendation first!
