Reviews of Villa Agrumeto

Our apartment was modernized with an authentic touch and our hosts were very helpful, we can strongly recommend staying there!

the apartment was amazing .. we had our base here and discovered the surrounding islands ... the apartment is centrally located in the small coastal town of canetto ... in a car-free area ... very quiet ... the bed is large and comfortable ... the kitchen is spacious and equipped with everything ... the bathroom has a good shower ... the best thing was the large covered terrace, which we could use in all weathers ... breakfast, barbeque, chill-out ... simply wonderful we had really wonderful days here

small (very small) flaw ... there is no work surface in the kitchen .... that was sometimes a bit challenging

Perfect for our two week stay (with my 83-year old mother!) Very bright and clean apartment in a fantastic location about two blocks walk to everything (with no steep hills.) The view is lovely as is the main bedroom. My mother felt really special sleeping there! Didn't use the pool/garden area b/c it was Nov. but it looked nice too. I would definitely stay here again!!! If you do, be sure to try the granita con panna at Tano's Bar on the main street. It was phenomenal and Tano was very sweet and helpful.

Canneto is a lovely village in Lipari; we greatly enjoyed staying at Villa Agrumeto, the pool and the view from the apartment. The apartment has two large bedrooms, one of which with air conditioning. The kitchen is equipped enough for basic needs for breakfast and basic meals. The apartment has a lovely bathroom with a walk in shower. To note is that the flat can only be reached by walking through the narrow village walkways but the taxi or bus can take you very close (within 100-50 m of the front door).

We stayed as a family of 5 and white the bedrooms are large the rest of the apartment not so much so we felt that the place would be more suited for 4 people or less. The air conditioning temperature was set not to go below a certain temperature and we found that at times it was not enough to cool the entire apartment especially the one bedroom with no air conditioning of its own.

Nice little apartment that had everything we needed. The little pool was good fun for the kids, especially in the middle of the day when it was too hot to head to the beach! Close walk to the Coral Beach club which kept us entertained for an afternoon. Francesco and Patrizia were very good hosts. Francesco gave us a warm welcome (we used Google Translate very well!) and helped us whenever we needed it. Its a great option if staying on the coral coast, which is only a short bus ride from the centre of Lipari. However, there are somewhat limited restaurant options in the immediate area. Luckily the apartment has a good little kitchen so we just grabbed supplies from the supermarket nearby and cooked up some pasta.

Nice terrace and close to a good gelato place.

1. We had booked a 2 bed and were given a 1 bed last minute which did not look like the photos. 2. Very old apartment and toilet which had continuous issues with not flushing (not caused by paper) and old shower with low pressure and curtain. The bed was very hard making it difficult to sleep and the apartment was filled with someone’s items (maybe someone lived there?) I should have taken some photos to upload here. 3. The host sent a lot of aggressive WhatsApp messages and was very strict with timings and said there was a rule book with WiFi (there wasn’t). Ultimately it caused a lot of stress and a cloud over the trip so we checked out early. 4. The host requested payment in cash for more than the amount on this site. We “negotiated” down to 10 euro more than the amount on this site. 5. Warning - in case it happens to others - the host wanted to mark as a “no show” perhaps so we couldn’t leave an honest review?

Comfortable accommodation, nice bathroom, comfortable beds. Francesco helped us with the bags and was helpful.

1. One has to climb some steps and walk a narrow passage to reach the apartment, so it's a bit of a hassle with bags 2. There are no windows in both bedrooms 3. Could find a toaster and water heater base was missing 4. There's no connecting Terrasse or balcony

In the off season Canneto is a quiet seaside town, which we quite liked. Buses between Canneto and Lipari run reliably according to schedule. The bus stop in Lipari is right outside the ferry terminal and in Canneto you get off at the church. The place is a couple of blocks up the hill from the church (not too steep). It’s an older place with rustic charm, spacious and comfortable, although softer pillows would have been nice. Lots of hot water, good wifi. Highly recommend Aliante travel agency to arrange boat excursion to Stromboli and the bar that’s a couple of blocks away for meals.

While the place is quiet, the refrigerator made a whooshing sound. The pool was closed for the season.

Patitzia was such a great host - fantastic house in great location - in short a must stay

Nothing

Patrizia is a super host, réactiv and always up to manage everything you will need. Canetto is a better spot to be located in Lipari. Quiet with a real beach 2mn from apartment.

This accommodation is ok, but quite basic and expensive for what it is. The balcony out the front of our unit was a nice place to sit and there are lots of gardens and trees around. We had a number of quite unpleasant interactions with the owner who was away for the week and seemed determined to treat us with suspicion. However, there are a lot of reviews here saying how nice she is, so perhaps she was just having a bad week.

Be aware that if you ask the owner to book a taxi from the port, you will have to pay €25 for the taxi AND €25 for the service of arranging the booking. There are plenty of taxis at the port so just arrange your own.

Very nice and clean apartment, we had amazing time and the host is very kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

We really liked our stay - the neighborhood is very nice, quiet and very close to the beach. The trees and shrubs around the house keep the area pleasantly cool, even on hot days. The terrace was our favorite place to eat the breakfasts and read books - we also had an amazing sea view from there. Very close to the house, we had a bakery, few supermarkets, tabacco shop, caffe, fish shop and a pier from which ships sailed to other islands. Concerning our host, Patrizia - she was great. She organized a trip to Volcano and Panarea + Stromboli from the sea. She was very kind, helpful and patient. She prepared for us fresh fruits and water, in the kitchen we had everything we needed to prepare food including spices, tea, coffee, olive oil etc. She was answering all our questions, making sure we were ok and advising us places to see, eat, rent a scooter etc. There was also another lady, Tania, if I remember well, she was also very kind - she offered us khaki fruits from the local tree and entertained us with a conversation from time to time. We regret we didn't book a longer stay - I wish I could enjoy the peace and beauty of this island for longer. Maybe we will come back - then we will definitely contact Patrizia to book a stay again.

THAT VIEW. It felt like such a privilege to wake up and come home every day to such a breathtaking vista and the peace and quiet of an island village. It was so nice to be close to all the amenities of Lipari without being IN the tourist zoo—it forced us to slow down, which was exactly what we needed. It’s a short (albeit steep) walk uphill from a lovely stone beach, excellent cafe, and the best breakfast spot we’ve found so far in Sicily. Patrizia was a wonderful host—she gave great recommendations for food and also hooked us up with a boat ride that was one of the highlights of our vacation. We would LOVE to come back for a longer stay.
