  Beautiful views and decent rooms

  28 Sept 2024

  Brilliant hotel with a villa feel as rooms are on split levels with terraces to sit on outside. There is a great view out to the rest of the town, castle and sea. Good selection at breakfast. It was very good value as well. Very quiet location yet not too far from town. Lorenzo Casamento, Proprietario at Villa Diana, responded to this review thanks for your kind words. best wishes

  Incredible weekend

  30 Aug 2020

  My wife and I enjoy every second of our stay. From the assistance the moment we arrived, the breath-taking view right outside of our room, to the complimentary shuttle to and from the beach. As well as a wonderful breakfast of house made pastries, fresh fruits and juices. We were in bliss, or ecstacy. Pretty sure both. The staff, including management, were exceedingly helpful with tips and information about the island. The hotel was conveniently located close to the markets and great restaurants. Most importantly the "Corso Vittorio Emanuele ii," popularly known for it's shops, local souvenirs and excursion agencies to plan adventures around the Island.I would definitely recommend!We're already planning our next trip back. Not to mention how impressed we were with the cleanliness of the entire place and sanitizer machines everywhere!

  Good to be home in Lipari

  01 Sept 2019

  My husband has been staying here for a catch with friends and family. He grew up on this island and a friend was making the trip back so it was decided that he would go and make those memories He said although the room was small. He had a great balcony. It was a 10 min walk into Marina Corta which was the main Piazza. He has enjoyed the stay and will be leaving tomorrow. He reported that it was clean and the staff super friendly. Thank you AlessandroHunziker, Proprietario at Villa Diana, responded to this review Thank you very much for the beautiful words. We are so glad that your husband enjoyed his staying at Villa Diana.

  Strange place. It could be so much more

  27 May 2018

  Reasonable hotel although a bit out of the way. I gets you fit walking down to town and back. Facilities at the hotel are poor. Breakfast fairly basic self-service and more food could be offered. Service generally stand-offish and poor. villadianaeolie, Proprietario at Villa Diana, responded to this review Of course, we are 400 meters from the central road, but high up on the city and with a beautiful view on the sea and Castle. The hotel is built in the autentic Aeolian architectural style which is usually simple and linear. At breakfast have you tasted homemade jams with oranges and lemons from our garden? I hope you have noticed the antique furniture of the hall and the paint on the walls of the living room and the rooms. I hope I noticed the garden park around the rooms. I hope you have noticed the great Aeolian terraces and the beautiful landscape.We look forward to seeing you again.

  Underwhelming overpriced experience

  12 Jul 2016

  This hotel is really at best an average bed and breakfast but is not priced as such. In summary, hotel with nice view and garden outside of lipari town, but that does not have enough positives to outweigh the negatives of the establishment. Hosts do not show much interest or skill at running the establishment so we can only assume they recently took it over from someone who made it successful and it will slowly slip in standards unless they up their game. Positives - nice garden (although a bit dirty - plastic cups, paper napkins littered on edges so could do with a bit more love but at first sight impressive flowery bushes and nice courtyard), lovely view of the town below you, spacious rooms with character (wooden etc...), nice courtyard, cleanliness of rooms is decent, good wifiNegatives - 1 - it is a hike up a hill to the hotel from town which over time gets annoying as you will end up doing it a couple of times a day and in the sweltering heat, it is unpleasant, 2 - breakfast is not great (too much on offer but a lot of it is not fresh (eg we saw same chocolate cake 3 days in a row untouched as we were pretty much only guests at the time), artificial juices served in plastic cups, croissants in cellophane etc... Only nice items were supermarket yoghurt, fresh bread roll and fruits), 3 - the hosts are nice enough (but a bit strange and not particularly helpful) and very limited services that you would expect from a "hotel" (eg no laundry or pick up service from the port, plastic sachets of cheap shampoo in the bathroom, etc,) 4- it is false advertising to claim there is a tennis court (refer to the photo of the court with overgrown grass and its awful condition). villadianaeolie, Proprietario at Villa Diana, responded to this review Dear Guest, Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. Clarifications due:Without the last 50 meters up the street you would not have enjoyed the view over the city and sea, and we are only 400 meters "far" from main street V. Emanuele and 900 meters "far" from the harbour;The breakfast is well stocked and the cakes are "changed and new" every day;The foam bath line is of excellent quality, although we did not print our logo;If we are required we can also wash your clothes for a fee.The pick-up is done at prior request free of charge.The unstable weather this spring has not allowed us to do maintenance to the tennis court fund that is always feasible because concrete.We hope more and more having you as our guest. regards
