Lovely hotel in lovely Lipari
Very nice hotel. About 10 minutes by foot via a pedestrian path to the ferry dock and heart of the town. Very good breakfast and you can ask for an espresso. Weak WiFi from lobby only. Nice pool. Staff is friendly.

Geoff, England

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff excellent and pool/grounds both great. However, there were some issues that would be easy to fix. Breakfast very basic and always the same. Only cooked option was a bowl of cold boiled eggs. Dinner menu likewise always the same and not very good value (14 euros for a piece of very thin steak, not including any veg.) No dessert offered or available. It's hard to see how the 4 star rating is justified.

Beautiful excellent hotel
Location is great, 5/10 minute walk into town or for the main port, but if arranged in advance the hotel will arrange a private shuttle for you. Beautiful immaculate hotel and grounds, if u pay a little extra for the sea view rooms you have a huge balcony with lovely views to the town and sea. Very peaceful. Continental breakfast very good. Lovely pool area. Some staff struggle with English but the English speaking lady on reception was absolutely lovely and couldn't have been more helpful with booking our trips/scooter rental and with any other queries we had. I would highly recommend Hotel Bourgainville!

Good quality hotel on a beautiful island
As part of our tour of Sicily, our stay in Lipari at Hotel Borgainville was a highlight. It was a good choice of hotel to rest up after busy days touring Lipari and the other Aeolian Islands. All the staff were excellent, and very helpful. Rooms were well equipped, however strongly recommend a sea view, otherwise you will have a view of the local football pitch! Breakfast was a little limited in choice, unless you like sweet cakes, however overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful place with stunning vistas!
This hotel is clean, beautiful and located in an amazing place, tucked into the hills of Lipari. The staff was amazing from the first phone call from our ferry. They sent a car to pick us up at the dock and we were checked in very fast. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The terrace opened up to the beautiful pool deck and the amazing views of Lipari and the sea. The grounds are stunning and the landscaping is just gorgeous. They obviously take special care of every detail. We were always made to feel at home and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

Spent 2 nights at this hotel and throughly enjoyed it. Hotel is older and slightly dated, but it's customer service its 5 stars. Rooms were clean and spacious, and bathroom was very nice and lots of light. Property grounds are well-kept and very relaxing. The property is located about 10 min. Walk from center but it's quiet location and convenient. I would stay again!

Lovely hotel with beautiful grounds and pool
Very peaceful, lovely, helpful staff, great breakfast, new and very clean pool of a good size, beautiful grounds with jasmine and frangipani trees, hotel shuttle service, large clean room with tiled floor and great shower, rooms have private seating area outside, hotel up behind the main town so it's set in front of the mountain, overlooking the sea. Very relaxing and good value for a 4 star hotel. Numerous other accommodation I stayed in when travelling in Sicily was near to the price, but nowhere near the quality.

Hotel Bougainville, Lipari
Hotel Bougainville is a pretty complex situated in Lipari. It is not in the centre, however it's not far (just under 10 minutes to centre). We liked the quiet and we enjoyed drinks and pre dinner snacks on our shared terrace). Nice views. The only bad thing about our stay, was that there was no air conditioning. We paid a little more so that we could have air conditioning in July, and for it not to work AT ALL over 3 nights is in our mind, not acceptable. We had no choice but to leave the doors and windows open which let in mosquitoes. A fan was put in our room the second night, however in our minds this is not what we paid for. Very disappointing. Other than that, this hotel is a good place to stay.

Sejour bien
L'hotel est bien situé, à 10 minutes du port et de la rue principale ou se trouve les commerces et les restaurants. Il y a une navette gratuite pour aller en centre ville. Mais on l'a pas prise car c'est pas regulier. La chambre est spacieuse avec un lit de 180, confortable. Cependant, les chambres pourrait etre mieux isolées. La Une petite terrase attenate devant le passage. Le parc et la piscine sont très bien entretenus. C'est agreable dy passer du temps. Le jacuzzi à la disposition du client est en plus. Une petite déception pour le petit dejeuner. La qualité est à ameliorer.
