The perfect place to enjoy Lipari
Pros:

Hotel Villa Cute is a wonderful and peaceful place to stay in Lipari. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable, offering a truly relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast is excellent, with a wide variety of fresh options, including eggs made to order and delicious, freshly brewed coffee. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the outstanding friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They are always kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, making you feel welcome at every moment. The location is ideal—quiet, yet close enough to explore the island easily. We left with only positive memories and would definitely return. Highly recommended!

Cons:

It was just all good

Pros:

Bea at breakfast service.
Tatiana's text messages and help in English.

Cons:

Having to wear silly hats in the pool, and pay for theml...especially when no other guests did.
Lighting in room was very poor.
Tea/coffee making facilities in room poor.
No headboard on bed, just an uncomfortable shelf to bang your head on.
Very limited breakfast offerings.
No hotel restaurant.
Claimed to be full but only ever saw about 6 other guests during our stay.
No atmosphere.
NOT worthy of 4 stars...
Overall we were sadly rather disappointed, and wished we'd stayed somewhere else.

Geen slecht hotel, maar eerder 3-sterren
Pros:

Kamer met groot terras en comfortabel bed; op wandelafstand van het centrum als je het niet erg vindt om trappen te doen

Cons:

Voldeed niet aan verwachtingen van een 4-sterrenhotel; ouderwetse zwembadregels (verplicht dragen van badmuts en extra huur voor strandlaken); het is niet echt een gezellig hotel; alles is erg steriel; niet echt hartelijke mensen

Pros:

Das Hotel hat einen Pool (leider ist die Benutzung einer Badekappe Pflicht).

Cons:

10 Euro Gebühr für den Transport vom Hafen zum Hotel sind für 800 Meter Fahrstrecke einfach zu viel!

Hotel consigliato
Pros:

L’hotel è in una posizione panoramica ed il centro storico si raggiunge facilmente a piedi. Le stanze sono spaziose, silenziose. La struttura ha una piscina accogliente, consigliata anche per i bimbi. Lo staff è eccezionale, disponibile e ti fa sentire a casa propria.

Lovely hotel -would stay again
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff at this boutique hotel close to the town. It only accommodates 24 people and feels special. Some rooms have large terraces and great views. Lovely pool and great breakfast outside near the pool. Wished we had stayed longer.

Cons:

Big push from the staff to go on trips / tours / linked restaurants. None of that is really necessary.

Superb
Pros:

The staff is amazing.. they make your stay a better experience, also the way they solve issues and help you is fantastic
The girls at the reception, the guys at the breakfast area and the cleaners are exceptional

Cons:

The fact that you need to wear a cap to swim in the swimming pool is just ridiculous!
There was nobody swimming in our whole stay except pigeons which is a bit sad since the view is beautiful and weather is great

Perfect. Best booking in a very long time.
Pros:

Beautiful and very well maintained hotel in a quiet place but still close to Lipari center. Five minute walk. Breakfast is served close to the pool from the pool bar. The breakfast was very good and they will make you a omelette, scrambled eggs or egg and bacon++ on request. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We really loved it and hope to come back again. The roms are beautiful with a large and very nice bathroom. The air conditioning works really well. We had a room downstairs which has a private sitting area outside.
