“Wonderful stay! I arrived for 1 night and finally stayed 5 nights and I could stay more.... Claudio is wonderful host; he makes you feel at home from the first min. The room is on the mountain and has a breathtaking view all over Lipari! Wow! To wake up to this view in the morning is heart opener; the sun rises are unbelievable.“

“We’ve been in Taormina many times before but Claudio’s place Villa Vittorio made it to the top of our favourite hidden gems list straight away, it’s absolutely perfect! Conveniently located just a few steps away from the heart of Taormina’s city centre, with all the cafes, restaurant and night life venues- it’s at the same time a secluded private paradise. The sea view is breathtaking and the peace and calm we enjoyed here it’s just unprecedented. The apartment itself is exquisitely furnished and decorated. We could really feel the taste for art and beauty that makes Villa Vittorio for us a must visit when in Taormina. Grazie Claudio, we’ll definitely be back!”

“Paradise on earth! Claudio's stunning place Villa Paradiso is the perfect place to completely relax and unwind. The view is even more spectacular than in the photos... The private and the common terraces are gorgeous. The apartments are beautiful decorated, the kitchen is well equipped for cooking...It is very quiet and you could hear crickets in the night and sometimes singing from the local church during the day. In the little supermarket nearby we could find everything we needed. Claudio and his brothers Paulo and Pipo were the perfect hosts, kind, generous and with many great recommendations on the area....We cannot recommend this place or these people enough. This is not only a beautiful place to stay, it is a beautiful experience.”

"Our stay at Claudio's and his brothers was the highlight of our trip! The view is breathtaking and makes you want to stay in your hammock for weeks. The apartment has everything you need and we made a beautiful hike to the beach. The 3 brothers are very warm people and make you feel very welcome. Its La Dolce Vita 2.0!.”

"The place is beautiful and peaceful! It is perfectly located on the top of the island. The scenery is awesome. Besides the big terrasse you can share, there is also a private terrasse for the apartment, if you need more intimacy. Claudio is the best! He picks up you up at the harbor and drive you down there when you're leaving. He is 100 % available and gives you good tips. We really enjoyed our warmful stay in "Le Cave". We definitely recommend it!”

“Villa Paradiso has the most beautiful view of the Lipari island. It’s 8mins by motorbike from the city centre. The hospitality is absolutely exceptional. Highly recommended”

”It’s indeed like paradise! We loved the spectacular view and landscape. Every morning we woke up and realized where we were it felt like paradise. Villa Paradiso is decorated simply and very tastefully. The beds were great which is not always the case in Italy. There’s a nice restaurant in walking distance which Claudio recommended. If you want to have other options I’d recommend renting a car. Claudio is a great host. I would definitely recommend this place!'“

“Where to start?! Everyone should experience staying at Claudio's house in Lipari. It's a perfect match between the house, the view, the flat and the warm welcoming from Claudio and his brothers. Really easy going people. They are always here for give you anything you need during your staying. Tips for restaurant, beach, spot to see on the island... everything was perfect for us. Those people are truly in love with that island and just want to share the experience they have.”

"Our stay at [Villa Paradiso] was nothing less than incredible. Claudio made us feel welcome from the very beginning and ensured we had everything we needed...The apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything necessary for home cooking, which we did a couple of times - sampling some of the local produce. It has been by far the most relaxing stay of our exploration of Sicily and its islands”

"We had the most perfect stay at Claudio's place in Lipari, we could not recommend it more! The room is beautiful but what is really special is the huge terrace and the incredible view overlooking the island. We enjoyed a lovely dinner out on the terrace. Claudio and Paolo are the perfect hosts, best I have ever met. They went out of the way to make sure we had the best stay and were incredibly generous and thoughtful. We also LOVED Sam the beautiful resident Labrador!! The accommodation is a fair way from the main town but Claudio has a car and scooters available to rent which are a great way to see the whole island. We can't wait to go back and stay again!!”
