Getting to the house is challenging. You have to carry your luggage up a hill. You can drive a very small car up the drive but its challenging getting in and out of the driveway. The bugs/ants were out on the patio, trying to take over in the am, but easily swept away or dealt with, with candles. But the views are beyond, the house charming, and the outdoor/indoor kitchens both functioning. The outdoor gardens were amazing and made homemade lemonade almost every day we were there. I loved this house. Picture perfect views of volcano and of Lipari downtown. Its an experience and I would own this home, if allowed.
