The rooms are big and with a relaxed hippish feeling. The agriturismo is quite far from the town but it can be reached by moped and if you are brave enough: trekking. Breakfast is simply delicious and very healthy and served in the terrace with a view of the sea. Katia is very friendly and a wonderful chef: don't miss her dinner!

We stayed at "La Dolce Vita" for three nights and it was an absolute unforgettable stay. Katia and Giovanni make you feel like proper guests and friends staying at their own home, providing you with anything you might need. Giovanni for instance did a great job, helping us with hiring some scooters.

The food prepared each evening was dellicious and plentifull and the wine never stopped flowing. Katia took great care of her guests and lovingly explains all there is to know about the dish in front of you.

This accomodation is high up in the Liparotian hills and thus has stunning views, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Islands of Alicudi and Filicudi. Especially the sunsets are unforgettable and it was a joy to observe.

The rooms are all individually decorated. We stayed in the "Green" room, which was very spacious, with a lovely decor. Outside was a shaded porch with a great hammock and some comfy chairs.

We felt like we were visiting family as Katia and Giovanni welcomed us so warmly. If ever back on the island, this would be our first choice!

Probably one of finest B & B's we ever visited:

- Friendly hosts who help you organising your stay (island hopping, taxi, ...)
- Clean and beautifully furnished rooms.
- Delicious food (they also offer diner for an extra fee, fantastic local dishes)
- The location and view are stunning
- ...

We stayed at La Dolce Vita for 2 nights in April and were impressed from the moment we arrived. The accommodation is lovely and the thought and care that has been put into decorating the rooms is obvious. The rooms are also very clean and each has its own set of chairs and a hammock outside. In addition to this space (and the good size of the rooms) there are lots of places for sitting and overlooking the view of the ocean and surrounding hills, which is spectacular.
Katya and Gionsanto, the hosts, are simply lovely. They couldn't have been more warm, friendly and accommodating. Anything from looking up ferry and bus timetables on the net and printing them for us to arranging a taxi with a trusted friend, to booking boat trips in Italian or sending us off with a packed breakfast on the day we left early to return our quad bike. They are fantastic. Katya is a talented photographer and keen traveler too, so make sure she shows you her photos!
The B&B is 5kms by road out of town, so if you are keen on wandering back to your hotel room whenever you feel like it, it's maybe not the the place for you. Having said that, the walk down the hill to the town only takes about 20 minutes, though I would suggest hiring a scooter or quad (the latter Gionsanto says are actually better in the summer when the track up to the house is dry and sandy, the former we couldn't hire because of inexperience) to get back up, because after walking it a couple of times we were knackered! My partner did also see a snake on the path, but they are not poisonous (trust us, we come from Australia) and dissapear as soon as they see or hear you coming.
It was well worth being away from it all for us and getting a lovely, quiet night's sleep. La Dolce Vita is definitely a hidden gem.
