The Bougainville hotel is a lovely spot in the town of Lipari, one of the Aeolian Islands. They met the ferry to transport us and luggage to the hotel but the rest of the visit we walked the pleasant 5-10 minute walk to town. I lucked out with the most beautiful villa, a large covered porch, salon, and master bedroom... More

I stayed at the Bougainville with a group of 17 artists from the mid Atlantic for a stay of 5 days to recover from our whirl around norther Sicily. We all had the most marvelous time in the so thoughtfully created guest rooms with their beautiful tile floors and exquisite baths. The terraces were the perfect antidote to a group... More

The hotel is beautiful, very clean, the rooms are absolutely great and the staff including the manager and all the receptionists was very very nice and helpful. Breakfast is simple but much better than in other hotels in Italy and offers a nice variety of options. It is true that the hotel is a bit off center (about 8 to... More

A strange business-like hotel on the wrong side of the town. Lack atmosphere and friendliness. A dark long alley from the harbour to the hotel adds to the negative aspects of a longer stay. Astrid

Collected v quickly from the harbour on a baking hot day. The rooms are really excellent and the quality of the linen was superb (I personally don't know anything about it but travelling companion was wowed). Breakfast was good - typical Italian with a few extra nice touches - Big choice of pastries. The Bougainville is a 15 min walk... More

We made the trip to visit the Eolies and stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks. We enjoyed very much the place, the service and the staff. The rooms are large, the restaurant is very agreable and thorough cooking the meals. The reception provided us with all the information we asked (even managed to talk english, spanish and portuguese!). Just... More

The hotel on the edge of Lipari gives the impression of a professional and clean hotel, a bit business like. If you are passing by Lipari and need clean room for a night this hotel might be good. However, if you - like my girl friend and I - are having a longer stay, the hotel has some unfortunate lackings... More

Lovely room and hotel. 5min walk from the ferry port and the start of the main town. Hotel was clean, room was spacious, great view from the bath and balcony. Front desk were helpful and they were kind enough to give us a lift with our bags to the ferry port complimentary. Breakfast was good, the freshly baked cakes were... More

LOCATION: On the edge of Lipari Town, a longish walk to the historic section. Taxis within the town or to the beach cost a flat 10 Euros. PLANT: Attractive low-rise hotel in well-planted gardens. The approach is down a long driveway. One terrace has a view over the town. Rooms are simply but comfortably furnished, with private balcony or patio.... More
