Struggling to decide where to stay on Lipari Island? Let me make it easy: Casa tra Cielo e Mare. The name alone—“House Between Sky and Sea”—is enough to sell it, but the views? They’re the kind that make you wonder why you ever thought scrolling Instagram was a good use of time.
Let’s be honest: the reason you’re here is simple—you need a place to stay on Lipari that won’t make you regret your life choices by day two.
After some relentless digging and a bit of coffee-fueled scrolling, I’ve narrowed it down to three spots that stand out.
These aren’t just hotels—they’re the kind of places that make your trip feel a little more, well, special. Let’s dive in.
Casa tra Cielo e Mare
If a stay could whisper, “Relax, you’re on holiday,” Casa tra Cielo e Mare would be doing just that. It’s tucked about 1.5 km from the Museo Archeologico Regionale Eoliano and offers that sweet spot between remote and reachable. The rooms have a sort of understated elegance—think private patios with views that feel like a reward for making it this far. Some rooms even have kitchens, which is handy if you’re in the mood to test your pasta-making skills (spoiler: it’s harder than it looks).
Breakfast here isn’t your sad buffet of limp toast and watery coffee. Oh no. It’s local pastries and fresh delights that remind you why Italians take food so seriously. And if you’re not the “let’s go hike” type, there’s a sun terrace perfect for pretending you’re deep in thought while really just soaking up the view. Click to view the images >>
Residence Acanto
Residence Acanto has nailed the art of island charm without trying too hard. A quick five-minute walk from the port, it’s ideally placed for dropping your bags and getting on with the important stuff—exploring. The apartments are straightforward but stylish, with wrought-iron beds and tiled floors that quietly say, “This is Italy, behave accordingly.”
The pool and hot tub are like an oasis for the weary traveler. And the breakfast? Homemade cakes and fresh fruit served with that Sicilian flair that makes you wonder why your own mornings aren’t like this. It’s also close enough to the action that you’re never far from your next adventure but far enough that you can still enjoy some peace. Click to view the images >>
Lo Nardo Accommodation
Lo Nardo feels like staying at your cool Italian cousin’s house—if you had a cool Italian cousin. It’s right in the middle of Lipari’s buzz, just 50 metres from the harbour, so you’re perfectly placed to hop on a boat or stroll through town. The studios come with kitchenettes, satellite TV, and a pinch of Aeolian personality that’s refreshingly unpretentious.
What’s more, there’s a terrace for those all-important post-exploration debriefs with a bottle of local wine. And if cooking isn’t your thing, a nearby restaurant has you covered with Sicilian classics. The beaches are a short bus ride away, making it all very convenient without losing the charm.

Final Words
These three spots aren’t budget options, but let’s face it: you’re on Lipari to enjoy life, not to skimp on comfort.
They’re great picks if you want to feel like you’ve truly arrived. After all, a trip to Lipari deserves more than a room—it deserves a memorable stay.
