Hotel Villa Diana

Fantastic villa up in the mountains of Lipari. Very helpful and service minded staff. You can book the room with or with out breakfast. I booked with out breakfast. The room had the traditional Italian beddings (which is a little hard). The room had a fridge and very well working internet, no problem to see Youtube. Attached to the room was an amazing terrace with a great view over Lepari. The garden has nice flowers. Transport down to the harbour at departure free of charge.

Absolut nothing to complain about. The location is amazing but it also demands some walking up hills to reach this villa. Particularly heavy luggage can be a problem, if you use google map and misses the convenient short cuts (google map shows the map for cars). If luggage is a problem call Villa Diana they will most certainly pick you up at the harbour.

Everything! Surrounding is very quiet (while at 5min from city center) View is awesome Breakfast is delicious and rich. Kindness of the staff And this old family house is a beautiful sight of Lipari.

The location is amazing and the view from the terrace is one to remember! We had a pleasant surprise to find out how nice the villa is all together, surrounded by nature and with a classic Italian country style. Rooms are with classic furniture, old style but clean. Bathrooms well equipped and clean. Breakfast on the terrace is amazing! Good fresh sweet pastry and salty choices as well! The staff was really great, welcomed us and helped us with any inquiry!

Some rooms are better than others, depending on what's available you can get a nice, big, luminous one or a small, closed and dark one. We had to move from one to another, and for the same price I perceived the second as a downgrade... Doors and windows would not close properly, hot water would come after running it for a while, found some bugs(on the bed and one in the bathroom).

Hotel Villa Diana was a wonderful place to stay. The villa is beautiful- surrounded by garden and citrus trees with a beautiful terrace overlooking the city and with a view of the sea. Each room has its own private exterior entrance and mini terrace. Our guest room itself was spacious, clean and functional. However the bed was not very comfortable. The villa has a beautiful breakfast room filled with paintings by Edwin Hunziker, which were a delight to look at each morning. On nice days the breakfast is served outside on the terrace. Breakfast is continental-style and the spread is very good. There were lots of options of pastries, cookies, and savoury foods along with homemade jams and marmalades. It was the best breakfast of all the places we stayed in Sicily. Hotel Villa Diana is about a 10 min walk to one of the main shopping and dining streets in Lipari and a 15-20 min walk to the port, so the location is convenient but also private and quiet.

The beds were not very comfortable and there were not many exterior lights so we had to be careful getting to our room after dark.

Great view over city of Lipari, within walking distance of everything you need (just). Our hosts Gabriel & Paolo (sons) were super friendly & the personal pick up & drop off from father Lorenzo were super appreciated & done with a smile! The spacious common terrace was a great place to take it all in.

Everything was great with a small exception being the room bar fridge, not airtight.

Beautiful location with best view on the island! Our room had its own little terasse, and the whole place is like being in an enormous Garden of Eden. The host was very friendly.

The beds were quite hard, which we weren't used to. Also the WiFi wasn't very reliable, but I think that has nothing to do with the hotel itself. It's a problem of the islands, we had the same on Stromboli.

No breakfast with my single room. Location is superb.

my first single room 9 was terribly small and uncomfortable I moved to the only other single room, 2 and except for the bed which I find unacceptable, it was excellent. Huge terrace. Other guests were quiet and friendly. Staff: seems to be three brothers. OK. multilingual. Garden is abandoned and trees are damaged and dying. I offered to consult with the gardener (I'm retired landscaper) and as I suspected, there is no gardener. Someone comes every 3 months to chop at the plants. Sad situation. No one cares for what could be a gorgeous property which has many citrus and fig and olive trees.

THE BREAKFAST WAS VERY VERY GOOD. THE STAFF WAS VERY ATTENTIVE TO DETAIL.

Nothing to criticize at all. It was very pleasant and quiet. Congratulations !

We spent 2 nights and our stay was fantastic. The room was clean and well equipped. There are beautiful painted pictures throughout the hotel and the terrace for breakfasts was just spectacular! Staff was very friendly too. I highly recommend this place!

We had a great time! Perhaps the gardens could use a little more attention...

The view was superb. The breakfast room and terrace a lovely space. Breakfast delicious.

The property is old and needs some fixing up ie shower screen and shower rose in our room was broken. I had to turn the air conditioning off when using the hairdryer
