Description

Located in a peaceful area just a few minutes away from Lipari's port and town center, this place offers a splendid view of the sea and the Castle.

We are situated 150 meters above sea level, so the climb can be challenging, but the breathtaking view is worth it. You can take nature walks or reach the beaches, boats for excursions, or Lipari's historical center for a fun night out in just a few minutes.

What guests say

Guests highlight the sweeping views over Lipari and the sea, along with the warm hospitality of Simona and Osvaldo, who share local tips and arrange excursions. Reviews also praise the comfortable, well-kept rooms, generous breakfasts with homemade jams, and meals made with local produce. The elevated setting involves a climb, and walking from the port may be inconvenient, though the hosts often help with transport.

Che parole meravigliose, ci hai davvero scaldato il cuore! 💙 Siamo felicissimi che vi siate innamorati del nostro panorama e che abbiate apprezzato le escursioni e le nostre cene preparate con tanto amore. È stato un vero piacere avervi nostri ospiti e speriamo di rivedervi presto per un altro splendido soggiorno insieme!

dorys

Osvaldo and Simona are truly delightful, welcoming and always helpful. Osvaldo is an exceptional guide, a deep connoisseur of his territory; he manages to convey his passion with enthusiasm. With his extraordinary patience he succeeded in putting even people like me at ease, who are not used to inflatable boat excursions. I always felt safe, looked after and reassured throughout the trip. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants to experience an authentic and exciting excursion.

Wonderful experience for the body, mind, sight, and taste. We relaxed and had fun. We were amazed by the beautiful view from the B&B every time we went out to the terrace for breakfast or dinner. We had experiences and excursions with Osvaldo as a guide, visual experiences but also culinary ones. Simona and Osvaldo make you feel at home. Simona is a great cook who puts passion into her cooking. Abundant breakfasts with a wide selection and hosts very willing to meet personal requests and needs. Superb dinners with fresh fish of the day. Thank you for the wonderful week.

The hospitality and warmth of Simona and Osvaldo are superb! It's lovely to feel like part of a family with the children pitching in. Simona's cooking is a real treat, with vegetables from her beloved garden and fruit trees used for the jams. Well done! The terrace and the view are truly relaxing.

Impeccable welcome. Osvaldo knows the area perfectly and is as sensitive and empathetic as his wife Simona, who prepares delicious dishes using produce from the garden. It is an experience to repeat and unforgettable.

What a warm welcome! Osvaldo generously shares his knowledge, anecdotes and attentive details. As a local he is the perfect person to discover the treasures of these islands. Simona's cooking skills are unforgettable, with produce from her own garden and wild herbs. The location offers an unparalleled view!

Strong points of the B&B: great view. Romantic. Quiet. Good price. I slept with two other people in the annex, which was very simple, and we had a wonderful time. Lipari offers everything you expect from a seaside and nature holiday and is one of the most beautiful and distinctive places in the Mediterranean. The property allows you to live in an atmosphere of absolute simplicity and safety. Hiking is wonderful and Osvaldo, the owner of the B&B, knows the territory like few others. His geological background is invaluable and allowed us to fully understand and experience the environment. A true Liparote, he told us stories from his childhood and recalled memories that made us relive the atmosphere and culture of a Sicily and a South that have now passed. The B&B is located in a panoramic position, but on foot in five minutes at a good pace you are in the center. The climb is healthy and ideal for those who want to adapt the right exercise to their own rhythm while enjoying a stunning sea view. Simona's cooking, Osvaldo's wife, is simple and infinitely tasty. Only products from her garden and local ingredients are used. The dishes come from Sicilian tradition, are very flavorful and quite hearty. The breakfast is exceptional. I use chia seeds and oats and they were available together with everything else at the buffet. The jams are all homemade: I remember bergamot, mandarin, pumpkin and fig. Simona also makes homemade cakes. The pasta with sardines and wild fennel and the pasta with calamari are legendary. The cheeses, salami, sausage and salads are delicious and genuine. The wine is excellent: our friend Lorenzo, a wine expert, was overjoyed. In conclusion, it is a B&B that allows you to live like part of a family.

oscar

I highly recommend staying at Osvaldo and Simona’s place. The location is fantastic, with superb views of the island and perfect rooms for resting. Breakfast is fantastic; we got to taste the homemade marmalades that Simona made from their garden. Besides receiving brilliant guidance about the islands (not only Lipari), we had some fantastic chats with the hosts. We are definitely looking forward to returning on warmer days.

The location of the structure is optimal, it is positioned at an altitude of about 200 meters above sea level. Upon arrival by hydrofoil, there is always one of their vehicles available to reach the B&B. The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are very well cared for. For those who want to stop for lunch or dinner, Simona prepares both meat and fish dishes that are very good and abundant. In addition, Osvaldo can accompany you for a visit to the center, the museum, or the castle if you are interested in the history of Lipari. I had the opportunity to experience this and I assure you that it was more than pleasant.

Osvaldo is a great host. The view and location are magical. The breakfast is very good and the accommodation is very clean and comfortable. We rented a car and had fun driving around Lipari. Osvaldo is full of good information about Lipari and we highly recommend staying here.

The place is spectacular even though it is not easy to reach by car. Fortunately, the kind Osvaldo came to pick us up from the ferry and guided us to the house. He also explained the interesting things to visit on the island. In short, an exceptional stay.

The name says it all... Here we really felt 'at home' thanks to the caring and familiar welcome of Osvaldo and Simona. The spectacular view, then, made us feel truly 'between heaven and sea'. Osvaldo, a perfect connoisseur and lover of Lipari and the Aeolian Islands, was invaluable as he suggested exceptional panoramic, culinary, and typical itineraries. Simona's breakfast with her jams and fresh fruit, along with warm croissants, was a 'very sweet' start to the day. Highly recommended and we will certainly come back. Thank you Osvaldo and Simona.

martina

Osvaldo and Simona are exceptionally kind and helpful people. The structure stands in a high position, offering a breathtaking panorama that leaves you breathless. Although not reachable on foot, it is possible to rent means of transport directly on site, facilitating access. The welcome was excellent, and the passion that Osvaldo puts into his work is evident: he shared many useful tips that enriched our experience. Simona, with her extraordinary availability, immediately adapted breakfast to accommodate our dietary intolerances. It was a fabulous vacation, which I highly recommend to everyone.

giuseppe

What can I say, we spent 3 dream days thanks to Osvaldo and Simona. A wonderful location with a breathtaking view. A reception made of professionalism and passion in carrying out their activity and a lot of empathy. With their advice and even with their presence, they made us discover a Lipari beyond packaged programs for tourists. Everything beyond even agency programs. Osvaldo accompanied us to discover a Lipari that not even the Municipality makes available to visitors. A Lipari full of history and breathtaking views. We had a fabulous holiday in this property. Highly recommended.

What will remain of our stay at Casa Tra Cielo e Mare? The excellent breakfasts with homemade citrus jams by Simona, for sure; the beautiful, clean, and welcoming room; the adventurous climb to reach the house, what a view!; the cats Pierino (patient big brother) and Tigro (energetic little pest), an unexpected bonus. But above all, the exquisite hospitality of the owners Simona and Osvaldo (he knows everyone on the island, with two phone calls he organizes your day!), full of anecdotes and stories about the island, they do and offer more than expected - as Osvaldo says "you arrive as customers and leave as almost friends". Most of all, though, we will never forget the breathtaking view from the house's terrace overlooking the sea and the surroundings: a heartwarming dive every day, a view that never gets old. Thank you! Daniele, Sarah, and Alice.

The highlight is undoubtedly the view, with that you already pay the ticket cost, added value a mini whirlpool pool with heated water positioned on a part of the terrace overlooking the sea view (this service is included in the price). Osvaldo, a very helpful person and above all who loves his job! I would only improve, for those like me who are not used to waking up very early, the possibility of being able to darken, maybe with shutters on the entrance door or with a curtain that does not let light pass through because the entrance door is covered only by a veil of transparent curtain, and maybe a small 32-inch TV in the room would not hurt! Regards, Osvaldo from Ivan.

Magnificent view over the entire bay. Osvaldo and Simona take great care of their guests. The house is a bit far from the port on foot, but they dropped us off and picked us up in a few minutes for each of our trips. They gave us great tips for visiting the island, eating at the best restaurants, and avoiding tourist traps. They also took us to see the highest point of the island, offering exceptional views over all the Aeolian Islands. A big thank you to Osvaldo and Simona for this warm welcome.
