Set up high in the mountainous uplands of Lipari, surrounded by a lush, exotic gar-den, with views from infinity pool, terraces and balconies down to the sea, Villa La Pomice is named for the white volcanic pumice quarried until recently on the island. Pleasantly cool, it is set within a luxuriant Mediterranean garden designed by a re-nowned Sicilian landscape gardener to be a little corner of paradise

Villa la Pomice has two separate buildings, both of which have two floors. On the en-trance floor of the main villa is a comfortable, cosy lounge with a fireplace, a lovely kitchen, a dining room with large windows that look out onto the splendid gardens, and a guest bathroom. All the rooms open onto a large covered terrace, typical of Aeolian houses. There is also an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and wood-burning stove and an atmospheric open-air dining area. A staircase descends to the 2 bedrooms, one of which is a double bedroom with a large bathroom and shower and the other a twin also with a private bathroom. Both rooms have direct access to the garden, swimming pool and shower. The second building, close to the main building, also has two floors, and has two double bedrooms, both with ensuite bathroom. There is a spacious terrace on the first floor and a patio on the same level as the garden. Both buildings have satellite TV.

We like
Cooking in the outdoor kitchen, looking at that incredible view while we prepare the food, and going for a swim while waiting for the pasta water to boil! Then letting the Aeolian breezes for which this corner of the island is famous, dry us while we eat lunch! Having an informal aperitivo sprawled on the terrace’s sofas — and night time swims watching the incredibly clear star-filled Aeolian skies. Taking a boat trip to see Stromboli erupting at night, anchored below a scree of glo-wing lava. Popping on the hydrofoil to Vulcano (it only takes 10 minutes) to walk up the smouldering volcano, wallow in the mud baths and swim in the sea above bubbling fumeroles. Aeolian cooking lessons with a local in the outdoor kitchen
We think
With its two separate villas, Pomice is ideal for a group of couples who want a mix-ture of private time and social time. It would also suit a large family. With its infinity pool and fabulous views, Pomice is ideal for anyone who wants to relax totally, and never leave the house! However, just 2km away is Lipari town, with its restaurants, bars and shops. In the town, it is easy to organise watersports or boat trips (or we can do it for you) and there are several beaches with lidos around the island. Lipari is the capital and transport hub of the Aeolian archipelago, and all the other islands can easily be visited from here either on private boat trips or by using the hydrofoils.

September 2, 2014Apologies for the late answer. Everything was fantastic and well organized. We enjoyed the holidays. The house is indeed magnificent. If we are planning another holiday on Lipari or Sicily, we will contact you.
Things to do
The main town, Lipari, is a bustling place dominated by a rocky acropolis which retains the remains of a castle (used as a prison for political exiles under Mussolini) and the Museo Archeologico, with an astonishing collection of archeological finds from the islands and the coast of nearby Sicily.
- Highlights are the unique ancient Greek vases painted in an array of delicate pastels by an artist known simply as the Lipari Painter, and a collection of minature ancient Greek theatre masks discovered in tombs.
- Although Lipari is no longer an active volcano, there are still plenty of relics of its volcanic origins to be seen: cliffs seamed with shiny obsidian, mountainsides and beaches of pumice; hot springs; smouldering sulphuruous fumeroles and a kaolin quarry where the volcanic minerals have stained the clay in an array of colours thought to have been used as pigments by the Lipari painter.
- Lipari has some lovely walks – one of the finest runs from the kaolin quarry to the Terme di San Calogero, a thermal bath with Roman origins.
