Hotel Lipari Historic Centre
One of the many advantages of staying at the Hotel Villa Enrica in Lipari is that it is really close to the historic centre. Just a few minutes on foot will enable you to reach the heart of the town where you can stroll through the narrow alley ways that are typical of the town and which afford periodic glimpses of the sea.

Amongst the main places of interest are, undoubtedly, the city’s main church which is dedicated to St. Bartholomew. Lipari’s cathedral was erected at the time of the Normans and houses frescoes and a painting from the 18th century by Polidoro da Caravaggio.
