A B&B in Lipari's old town
B&B Diana Brown is on Vico Himera, a quiet alley in the heart of Lipari, five minutes' walk from the Sottomonastero harbour, where the hydrofoils arrive, and 150 metres from Marina Corta, the small harbour for excursions. Next door there is a supermarket, bars, restaurants and scooter hire. It is linked to the boat agency Da Massimo, which advertises it as its accommodation, and from the B&B they help you book excursions, scooters, boats and taxis.
It is a house in the historic centre, with stairs and the noise of village life, not a beach hotel. In return, you walk from the hydrofoil with your suitcase and have everything to hand.
The rooms
There are twelve: four studios, five standard and three superior, recently built. There are singles, doubles and triples. All have a bathroom with shower, air conditioning, heating, free wifi, television, fridge, a kettle for tea and coffee and a hairdryer. You are given beach towels and also towels for the mud baths of Vulcano. The standard studios are on the ground floor; the superior ones are on the second floor, with a terrace or balcony and a small kitchen, for €10 more a night.
Breakfast and the terrace
Breakfast is a buffet on the panoramic terrace on the top floor, with sun loungers and sofas for the rest of the day. It is included in the price from March to October; from November to March a cheaper winter rate applies without breakfast.
Prices and conditions
The published rates, updated in February 2025, are per room per night with breakfast: the double from €60 from late March to April, €70–90 in June and September and €150 in August, with a minimum stay of four nights that month. Easter and bank-holiday weekends, €10 more per night. Check-in from 12:00, letting them know your arrival time, and check-out until 10:00; they have left-luggage storage. Free cancellation up to 14 days before.
Getting there
From Milazzo, by hydrofoil or ferry to Lipari. You do not need a car: in 2026 non-residents cannot bring one onto Lipari from 1 June to 30 September, except with a booking of at least seven nights in accommodation; the B&B sends you the confirmation if you need it. If you arrive by car outside those dates, they have a car park five minutes from the rooms.
