Colors of Lipari" Agriturismo/Farm Holiday in the Aeolian Islands
Small bays, turquoise sea and bougainvillea

This is your vacation paradise located 200 meters above sea level – the establishment has been restored in typical Sicilian style and offers visitors a unique view of Sicily, Mt. Etna and other islands in this archipelago, including Filicudi, Alicudi, Vulcano and Salina. Guests are welcomed with a family atmosphere, including the delicious typical local cuisine. All four rooms are spacious, with particular attention to detail, and equipped with every comfort.
The large terrace invites you to spend hours of relaxation and fun. Our guests can enjoy breakfast or dinner with products harvested directly from the farm, such as capers, olives, figs or other seasonal fruit, vegetables, herbs, and jams. We offer homemade pasta, fish dishes seasoned with wild fennel, bread cooked in the wood burning oven, fresh cheese and much more!

Lipari - the largest of the "seven pearls" - The seven volcanic islands constitute an excellent natural paradise and as such this natural and cultural heritage is protected by UNESCO. Lipari is a paradise for scuba divers, for excursions, and is ideal for romantic cruises. There is a heartfelt atmosphere in Lipari noticeable in the centre of the island, where the cafes and shops offer a return to the “dolce vita” or sweet life of the past in Italy. In addition to the intense perfume of hibiscus and broom flowers, there is the world famous Malvasia wine. Here you can enjoy freshly caught swordfish and lobster. The history of Lipari is full of exhibitions dating back to Greek-Roman times. The Spanish influence is apparent in the 16th century castle, and the archeological museum exhibits pieces dating back to the Bronze Age.

Getting Here:
By Sea:
From the port of Milazzo, located on the coast of Sicily closest to us, there are multiple ferries on both the Siremar and NGI ship lines, as well as the hydrofoil run by the Siremar and Ustica ship lines.

From Reggio Calabria and Messina the Ustica hydrofoil offers one trip per day in the winter, more ferry trips available in the summer.

From Palermo the Ustica hydrofoil offers two daily trips in the summer months.

From Naples the Siremar ships offer trips twice a week in the winter, and the Siremar-Medmar ship lines offer multiple daily trips during the summer. During the summer season, from June 1st to September 30th, the hydrofoil run by Ustica-Snav-Alilauro offers daily trips.

By Plane:
Reggio Calabria is the nearest airport to the Aeolian Islands. From there,
the Ustica hydrofoil goes directly to Lipari. Otherwise, from the airport
there is a bus which goes to Milazzo via Messina, and THEN the Siremar-Ustica hydrofoil in Milazzo travels to Lipari.

Catania is 150 km from Milazzo. From Catania there is a direct bus connection operating ONLY from April to October and only once per day. The alternatives are to take a bus which goes through Messina, or renting a car.

Palermo is 220 km from Milazzo. There is a bus which goes to the port, but a direct connection to the Aeolian Islands exists only in the summer using the Ustica hydrofoil. Otherwise one can take the train to Milazzo and then the Siremar-Ustica hydrofoil. One can also rent a car.

By car:
From Naples, and from Milazzo by ship. In the summer there are some restrictions with regard to bringing cars onto the Aeolian Islands. One must have a hotel reservation for a stay of at least 7 days. From the port and Lipari centre, by car, take the country road toward Pianoconte. After 3 km there will be a junction with signs on the left for Monte - Pianogreca; you go down and then back up along the road until you come to the first houses of the village. Here you make a turn to the right and continue to follow the rise along this main road for about 1 km until you arrive at “Fossa di Monte Giardina”, where you continue on the right for another 150 meters, arriving finally at the “Agriturismo” Farm House.
