Our opinion
The Villa Meligunis is a charming hotel in a glorious location.
Hotel description
The Villa Meligunis is a glorious, small hotel of just 43 rooms, enjoying a central location in the ancient centre of the town of Lipari, a short step from the sea in what was the old fisherman's quarter, criss-crossed with alleys and lanes. Its location offers a perfect base for exploring the town of Lipari and getting out and about. There is a beach about 200 metres away but the Villa Meligunis also offers a free shuttle to a beach equipped with chairs and umbrellas in the summer season, although a local charge is payable for these. The Hotel Villa Meligunis occupies a restored 18th Century villa which is furnished in a style in keeping with its history and location. There is a charming courtyard and garden abounding in spiky cactus and purple-pink bougainvillaea. The Villa Meligunis has a restaurant on a panoramic terrace which affords beautiful views of the town and the sea. The bedrooms are tastefully furnished combining contemporary comfort and a regional flavour; some of them have their own balcony or terrace. Highly recommended in its own right and as a two centre with Panarea or Stromboli.
