Hotel Villa Enrica - Aeolian Charme

Hotel is absolutely charming, small (only 22 rooms), breakfast was incredibly delicious and classic Italian. Staff were very kind, patient, informative and helpful down to making the call for your dinner reservation! They also helped us rent a car which included pick up and drop off at our hotel. And Cats! At least 6 by my count. Friendly and adorable! The receptionist who checked us in noticed my upcoming birthday and remembered and wished me a happy birthday during our stay! I was impressed with her memory and graciousness. If you staying on Lipari, I recommend hotel Villa Enrica! Oh and the pool is pure delight!

This hotel did not disappoint from the time we arrived, until it's sad departure. Ben, who spoke many different languages, greeted us and started us off with an espresso while taking us up to this amazing hilltop view overlooking the ocean and the wonderful city of Lipari. His introduction of the hotel was well planned, noting the countless ammendities and services offered by the hotel. If you need to rent a scooter, car, boat excursion, or make dinner reservations(with free shuttle), they do it all right at the resort. Ben went the extra mile to surprise my wife with a large bouquet of Lillies for the room to help celebrate our wedding anniversary. Breakfast was served on a terrace overlooking the city with amazing food and staff to attend to your needs. If you just want to relax, there is an infinity pool at the top of the resort with breathtaking views and outstanding food and drink service. The walk into town is about 10 minutes or a taxi can quickly be arranged by the hotel if needed . The port is close and allows for spontaneous ferries for island hopping, but we found Lipari to be our favorite. We closed our trip at the restaurant Al Panorama, overlooking the island of Vulcano at sunset. The view from here can not be beaten, and the hotel provided a free shuttle here as well. All of the staff at the resort were very helpful and courteous, making lasting memories for 2 Americans on their first trip to Europe. Dont miss out on this hidden gem.

I didn't like that we had to leave the hotel. I ate at least 1 cannolo a day, and I didn't like giving that up either.

It’s a true jewel in Lipari. We have only words of praise for this hotel. Marvelous views, fantastic breakfast, very kind and most helpful staff. If you’re thinking of going to Lipari- this is the place to stay at during your stay. They offer a pick up at the harbor, reserve a place in a fantastic restaurant with a free pick up from the hotel (and they give you a ride back as well)… once again we have to say: thank you for making our stay in Lipari a very wonderful and unforgettable experience.

The service from the staff was excellent throughout our stay, when we were due to arrive in Lipari they contacted us to arrange taxi shuttle from the port to the hotel. Throughout the whole stay they were very helpful and attentive - they suggested activities for us to do and were happy to organise them as well as arranging transport for us for dinner and to the port for our return journey home.The hotel was very nice and the room was clean and more than big enough for 2 people. The outside pool was also very nice and had a great view over Lipari. The breakfast at the hotel was also good.The restaurant that they recommended (Chimera) was the best place we ate all holiday and the hotel even gave us a discount to eat there. The food was tasty, the service was excellent, the outside seating area was stunning and there was even somebody playing the piano whilst we ate (who was also fantastic).

Wonderful view of Lipari, great infinity pool, delicious breakfast, professional and couteous personnel, highly recommend! Hotel arranged shuttle from and to port, much appreciated

Hotel Villa Enrica is a beautiful hotel and has the most stunning views of Lipari! The pool was also beautiful. The free breakfast was a delicious spread. Although the hotel isn't located directly in town, staff made it easy to call for shuttles (sometimes free, sometimes not) to get to and from town, Coral Beach, etc.

Unfortunately, while the hotel offers WiFi, it only works at the reception and pool. We did not have WiFi in our room. As foreign travelers this made phone usage in our rooms very inaccessible.

The property was picturesque with small attached villas. Everything was clean and comfortable with an great breakfast. The pool was a short distance away with an uphill climb. Lots of friendly cats on premise

The villa is not close to town so a van took us from and to the hotel. If you went at a specific time there was no charge. Otherwise it was 8 euros each way for a shuttle bus.

Quiet, nice location very pleasant staff.

Food portions too small

The hotel is located walking distance from the main town and has beautiful views. Our room was very comfortable with the view of the valley. Hotel staff were very friendly and assisted us with all our questions and requests. The infinity pool and the little bar for lunch, snacks and drinks are a great addition and allow you to spend the whole day at the hotel. Also, the breakfast was fantastic!

The noise travels through the hotel hallways and minor noises are heard in the rooms. People who are sensitive to sounds at night might want to bring a pair of ear plugs.

Staff were so helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Free transfer daily to beach club fabulous pool.

Nothing at all

The room was gorgeous with a private deck and view across the island.The pool was fabulous and a lovely breakfast on a deck with view too.

Ben and Sarah were extremely helpful addressing any questions we had. They were ready to book any kind of tour we wanted or taxis we needed. We stayed in Room 22 and the view was beautiful. Breakfast was excellent with a combination of sweet and savory items to choose from. Pool was lovely and the view from there was also great. We were offered the use of the pool and showers after checkout and before we had to get to the ferry.

Beautiful view from the room, quality breakfast, very friendly staff. They called us in advance to arrange for a pick up and gave good advices.

You can walk from the dock, it is a few minutes, but the road Is not exactly walkable. Beds could be comfier.

The most beautiful view one could imagine and wish for, a pool out of a dream, helpful and friendly hosts and stuff, exceptional breakfast, beautiful, spacy rooms, great cooperation with the local services (rent of scooters, which you definitely should go for!)

Incredibly nice staff, very clean and spacious room with a wonderful terrace, breakfast buffet was of great quality with a lot to chose from, view from the hill is very beautiful…will certainly come back again next year.

Beautiful views from our balconyBreakfast had varietyBoth breakfast and reception staff were excellent.The swimming pool with a view of the town was breathtaking.

- No wifi access within our room. We had to go out to balcony to get wifi-Leaking old shower -Walking up the hill to the hotel was not easy and would be very difficult for elderly. - Hotel does not provide a free shuttle service into town - No tea making facilities within the room

The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was excellent (bar the tiny shower), and the views were to die for

The hotel is up quite a steep hill which is no problem going down but coming back at night it's a challenge

Wonderful place to stay with the most stunning view! The room were clean and spacious and the pool was fabulous as was the breakfast. Lovely to be a little out of the busy township. An easy walk into town but recommend returning by taxi if you want to avoid the hill. Hope to return one day!

The location of the hotel is great and stunning and the view on Lipari City great. The Pool area is very nice with also a great view. Breakfast was also good

The room was very small and the furniture quite old and needs to be refurbished! The minibar was standing in the middle of the room and the room was so small that we did not have enough room for our suitcases . We expected the balcony rooms to be much bigger and nicer but we learnt that the nice rooms there are not sold on booking.com and we got the smallest room of these balcony rooms. Additionally there was a 18th birthday which lasted until four o clock in the morning also it was told that it will last only until midnight. Overall it was a little bit disappointing

Staff and view

Add another €30 a day for cabs to town…a good 30 minute hSteep walk . No variety in daily breakfast
