Lipari Historic Centre Holidays from AU$922

This hotel building, carved into the stone, survived the 1693 earthquake and is over seven hundred years old. Josepi, on his second day at work, was an enormous help in parking my car, which was a midsize MG SUV. He went over and above what was expected. Breakfast was a joy with great staff, that would make you coffee exactly how I wanted it and kept it coming without having to ask. Sparkling wine awaited you in the cavern-like separate sitting area upon arrival after a stressful drive, before checking in. Linda and Eugenio gave us incredible service making reservations at restaurants for us and advice on visiting Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa. Linda phoned a restaurant for me when I thought that I had left my hat behind. The atmosphere of the hotel more than made up for the somewhat tight quarters of our room which could be accessed from the street, or by going up a spiral staircase cut int0 the stone behind the front desk. Service at it’s finest.

Excellent accommodation and people

The room was very nice, but being winter, it took a while to get warm There were some snags that were resolved swiftly There is no parking at the property, but there was free parking very close by, which for the time of the year it was no problem at all

This hotel is one of a kind exceptional. My sister, father and I stayed for 4 nights and on arrival we were immediately welcomed by wonderful staff and the hotel owner, who informed us they would feed us very well and look after us. This couldn’t be more true. Firstly, the food here is unbelievably good - the Pachino tomatoes are the sweetest you’ve ever tasted and the menu is delightful. So many choices for delicious fresh fish and the vegetables from their garden are delicious. The olive oil, vegetables and even the wine is grown by them. The atmosphere is really special, Villa Giulia somehow manages to create a wonderful calm environment where you feel at home instantly. The service was amazing, everyone who works here is lovely and it feels like you are welcomed into a Sicilian family immediately. Thank you so much for a perfect stay Villa Giulia.
