Villa Meligunis

I highly recommend the Villa Meligunis, which is located just a flight of steps from the edge of the sea. Very comfortable room, nice terrace for breakfast, and a staff that is helpful in every way, offering rides to the harbor for arrival and departure, giving advice on restaurants, hiring a driver. I found Lipari to be one of the most rewarding places I visited in Sicily, both for pleasure and outstanding archaeological collections, and this hotel made the stay particularly enjoyable. My only caution is that making a reservation for a room with a terrace, even if it is confirmed, doesn't guarantee that you will have a terrace.

Stayed 2 nights. Located in the old port of Lipari. Hotel seems to have been renovated from the outside but the inside is tatty (rooms, lobby, corridors). Main problem is the noise : from your room, you can hear doors banging, neighbors walking, talking, etc. This place needs a huge sound-proofing renovation.

Stayed in Junior Suite, with nice view but no WiFi for the entire stay. Every day we would let the front desk know that we did not have any WiFi in the room but they kept coming up with lame excuses and promises to fix the system the following day. However every day was the same. We needed the WiFi for work and to stay connected but that situation created a very serious inconvenience. Also, the room had a very old AC/Heat system that although off, kept going on and on making an interrupted loud noise that prevented us from sleeping. With this situation as well they told us that they would fix it the next day, but nothing happened. The last day we asked to speak to the hotel manager. They told us that he would come the next day. However the next day when we checked out, they told us the manager was not in yet. We wrote an email to the hotel detailing all of our grievances but it has been two weeks and no one has replied. Very disappointed.
