“La Casa Gillia est située sur les hauteurs à Pianoconte, dans le calme d’un jardin enchanteur. Bartolo nous si gentiment accueillies ma fille et moi : il était 13.00 et nous avons partagé la pasta avec lui et ses amis. Les chambres confortables, joliment décorées ont une terrasse agréable où il fait bon se reposer. Bartolo est d’une grande aide pour l’organisation du séjour : sa connaissance de l’île, les histoires des habitants, les spots à voir, les criques où se baigner, les sentiers de randonnées et il n’hésite pas à vous accompagner. Nous avons été à Vulcano et avons fait une randonnée 550 D+, avec lui : un vrai plus. Gracie mille Bartolo. Les petits déjeuners sont très bons, les confitures et les fruits sont produits à Casa Gillia ! Merci également à Alessia 🙂 Nous recommandons sans hesitation”
“Accueil super. Personnes très sympathiques nous a même rendu service en nous déposant un matin au port. Vraiment adorable tout comme le petit chat. Très bon petit déjeuner type italien avec des fruits frais et confitures maison. Belle chambre et salle d'eau.”
“Colazione ben fornita con marmellate di produzione propria e dolci vari. Posizione ottima perchè permette di girare veramente Lipari, non solo il centro. Necessario uno scooter ma ne vale la pena. Nessun rumore fastidioso.”
