00012 Cottage atollo monterosa nord lipari 2 person

Nous avons passé 9 jours dans la maison d'Alfredo et nous avons passé des vacances de rêves. La maison offre un panoramique magnifique sur les iles éoliennes et se réveiller tous les matins dans une nature luxuriante (en Avril-Mai, l'île est fleurie) en méditant dans un hamac face au Stromboli est une expérience magique. Alfredo offre une maison où toutes les attentions sont réunies : quel plaisir la douche chaude à l'extérieur face à l'Etna, l'observation au télescope des éruptions du Stromboli ou le barbecue qui permet de griller les poissons et autres seiches achetés aux pêcheurs de Lipari De lipari, nous avons pu visiter les autres îles sans manquer de profiter pleinement de lieu accueillant et reposant. Sans compter la gentillesse de l'accueil d'Alfredo et Alessandro. Un Grand Merci à eux.

beautiful location, everything was as promised.

We stayed on Monterosa a couple of weeks late July 2011. The house is simply wonderful, comfortable, nesty, warm and fresh, sunny-shady, a good looking "monolocale" completely isolated on top of the Monte Rosa. Outstanding views on Stromboli, Vulcano, and the Etna (far at East, spotted a couple of clear/explosive nights). Designed flowery garden (in late july!), incredible cactus flowers in the morning, real nature all round, the catch is the walk up : 650 meters of steepy, rocky-ish, beaten track, 12 - 15 minutes to the top… Good training to climb on Stromboli later. We were welcome by Alfredo right at the port of Lipari, he very kindly took our luggage to the house while we got the scooters (needed to get halfway up the hill). His help was always available when needed, down to taking our luggage to the port when leaving Lipari. The house itself, mostly in local materials is neatly done. A magical dominating terrasse, a large main room, separated bathroom with shower, external shower behind, and the external kitchen. Cooking on the terrasse became difficult when it got windy, and it does, because the gas fires are not well isolated. Also, the light for cooking is much too low… The wind problem could probably be arranged by a kind of mobile, light-wood screen for windy days. And adding a cooking light should be possible ;-) Actually, I hope it will be, since we're going back this year… The kitchen equipment is all there, down to the unexpected iron and table ! A couple of kitchen ustensils were missing , but the owner quickly got them. I guess the longer you stay, the more kitchen stuff you need. The only other little problem happened after over a week, when the water ended. That was fixed the same day, and I think it has been updated since. We checked in the agency while in Lipari, their help with the house was fast, and we got some good advice. We should be rating 10, but the cooking problem on the house calls for a 9. Thanks to all at Vulcano, and thank you Alfredo for keeping this place as you do !

From the moment I saw the cottage listed on AirBnB I knew that it was the place for us. We spent three weeks in Sicily staying in three different rental houses, visiting the island and getting to know it's people, places and food. It was a busy and magical time. Being able to spend a week on Lipari at this cottage was the perfect end to our stay in Sicily. Truly a meditation place, it was perfect. Of all the places we stayed on this visit, it was only this house that we were sad to leave. I would like to come back and stay for a month. Of course, as others say, you must be willing to hike the 650 meters up the steep path, but it's worth it for the silence and solitude. Thank you Alfredo for creating such a magical place!

Buongiorno a tutti, scusate la tardiva risposta, ma la calma non è stata di questi giorni... Onde per cui il ricordo della terrazza dell'Atollo campeggia nei pochi neuroni ancora non fritti. Come già l'altra volta ci siamo trovati molto bene, da amanti della cucina - se proprio vogliamo stare a guardare il pelo nell'uovo - avremmo gradito qualche pentola in più, ma immaginiamo che sia una richiesta non troppo comune. L'isola ci piace ed essendo una coppia un po' di orsi il periodo di fine agosto e la tranquillità dell'atollo è quello che fa per noi. Che dire, speriamo di poter tornare ancora, magari per un po' più di tempo rispetto alla settimanina di quest'anno. Grazie e a presto Buon lavoro Esther & Vincenzo

Alfredo's cottage is beautiful and comfortable. Alfredo was nice and helpful and accommodating to my needs. We did not have a lot of interaction as the cottage is a little isolated but great for alone time and meditation. I enjoyed my stay.

Great Place! Perfect if you look for loneliness. Alfredo is a very nice host who cares for his guests.

Schitterende ligging. Erg rustig met 360° zicht op zee en andere Eolische eilanden. Enig nadeel ; niet met wagen te bereiken. Laatste 700 meter dienen te voet afgelegd langs een niet al te steile landweg. Verhuurkantoor zorgde voor het afleveren van bagage en is bereid om boodschappen ter plaatste af te zetten.

Io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo soggiornato dal 12 al 19 Settembre 2010 a Lipari nel cottage Atollo in località Monterosa, luogo splendido con un panorama spettacolare. Abbiamo trovato l'appartamento corrispondente alla descrizione fornita anticipatamente dal proprietario, che è stato molto disponibile con le nostre richieste. Consiglio questo soggiorno a chi, come noi, ama stare in mezzo alla natura!

Fabulous time! Highly recommended! Amazing views.

An ideal place for anyone who wants to be far from tourists and.. well civilization. You can only reach the little house through a very steep path so aside from the very rare brave wanderer looking for the way to get to the church on the next hill, not a soul in sight. The house is very basic, but well equiped and it has pretty much anything you could need. There is a wonderful breeze through it (and outside) which is highly appreciated with the heat. The views are wonderful (on other islands, on the sea, and on one of the towns' beaches). As a couple trying to get away and really rest, it was the Perfect place. We regreted every time we left it (aside from a wonderful tour of the island). Enjoy!

Incroyable petite maison isolée sur une colline avec vue a 360' sur la mer, stromboli et vulcano. Le tout fraichement aménagé avec une superbe terrasse, douche extérieure et 2 beaux hamacs ! ...et l'accueil amical d'Alfredo.

Le cottage Attolo est tout a fait conforme au descriptif présent sur le site internet ; un petit bijou en pleine nature , une vue magnifique, un aménagement simple mais propre et quel bonheur de prendre sa douche en extérieur ... mais ça se mérite ... avec la petite grimpette à faire à pieds. L'accueil est également super , il faudrait simplement faire préciser le port d'arrivée car il y en a 2 à Lipari ...

Paradisiaco !!
