Amazing view of the Sea and mountains from the balcony. Extremely friendly and helpful staff and management. Free shuttle to and from port upon arrival and departure. Excellent location within walking distance of town center, port, restaurants etc. Extremely spacious room, with kitchenette. Lipari is a gorgeous island and an excellent hub to explore the surrounding Aeolian islands from.

Lipari three day stop no car needed
Posted Feb. 2, 2016 on HotelsWe walked most of the islands ferry side ,some bug hills to the observatory. The rest of the island can be done on two bus trips but be prepared to come back straight away if winter schedules are operating as the terminus is a turning point only .
Don't miss the museum in the old walled section of town it's exceptional if you like ancient archeology,one section dealt with the Lipari shipwrecks .... if not great coffee everywhere. We did a winter trip from Malta to Sicily and then Lipari ,Stromboli and the small pretty island just before Stromboli then on to Naples all by ferry

Nice and simple
Posted Apr. 22, 2015 on HotelsFine hotel. But hotels.com says that the usual price is £600. There is no way. This is a lovely simple hotel run by very nice people

Pros: Fantastic, super-friendly staff. Lovely view of the ocean from our room. Charming decor. Free shuttle pick-up service. Good location. Great value.
Cons: Aeolian towns are a little hilly (mild) - not a problem for most, but travellers with mobility concerns check on this beforehand wherever you stay
Location: Very convenient for Lipari town and marinas. Pretty cove at the front. Try Grotta del Saraceno restaurant nearby.
We booked to stay at the Baia Portinenti as part of our honeymoon trip to the Aeolians and, although it seems a bit of a cliché to say it, every aspect of our trip was utterly fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for more. The staff at the hotel are absolutely exceptional - really kind, friendly and more than helpful. They made us feel totally at home, despite the fact that our Italian is practically non-existent, and really went out of their way to help make our trip hassle-free (which included helping us book excursions, check weather reports for Stromboli, use their internet for online check-in for our return journey and providing a free and reliable shuttle service on both arrival and departure).
The hotel itself has a great atmosphere and bags of character too - our room was very spacious and the beautiful décor throughout was very warm and romantic. We also had a balcony with a view of the ocean where we could sit sipping local wine and watching the yachts in the little cove below - what a privilege! The free breakfast was a bonus and very handy for those heading out on tours - and the coffee and pastries are particularly good. The hotel is also only about a 5-10 minute stroll from all the main shops and restaurants in Lipari and both marinas, so perfectly situated and very convenient for anything you might want to do (unlike maybe Acquacalda or Canneto areas). Lovely hotel, lovely staff. Wholeheartedly recommended! Thank you Baia Portinenti for a very memorable stay.
