Great hotel, near the city center but still peaceful and quiet. They have a shuttle service to the Harbour. You get clean towels and a cleaned room every day. They have a really large swimming pool with enough sunbeds for everyone. The breakfast is big they have sweets but also 3 different eggs and bread and everything you can imagine, heaven on earth!

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Gattopardo Park hotel and had a fabulous time. The hotel staff were very helpful. I contacted the hotel before arrival to request transfer from the ferry. I was advised to call when the ferry was at Vulcano. We were then picked up on arrival in Lipari without any issues. The hotel surroundings are lovely. The pool area was beautiful and much needed with the heat! There is a small bar area next to the pool for drinks, snacks and icecream. Our room was spacious, clean and functional although a little dated. We had a room away from the pool area with a small terrace. Beware the mosquitos! Breakfast was continental and was more than adequate. Dinner is available in the hotel but we chose to wander into town which is about a 5 to 10 minute walk down the hill. The hotel also provided transfer to the ferry terminal on departure and also printed some tickets we needed for buses on return to Sicily. We had a lovely time in Lipari and found it the perfect base to explore the Aeolian islands. I'd recommend a stay at the Gattopardo Park Hotel which was very good value for the price.

This is a rather large hotel with a very good location. However, it need some renovation soon and a more customer oriented management. If you just want a place to sleep, it is good and prices are reasonable. Breakfast is poor if you like a healthy selection with fresh fruits etc. There is a very limited selection consisting of water melons and prunes. No fresh tomatoes, pineapple etc. There is a large can of Americano coffee, but this was not always hot. A counter is available if you want a cappuchino, espresso or other types of coffee. When we tried to order americano there, the guy got rather angry and said something about «paying extra» in Italian. There was no que for the coffee so we did not understand his attitude. When explaining that the large can had no hot coffe, he accepted to make us two americano. And the same story repeated itself for 5 days. In the reception one of the managers recommended a restaurant in the mountains close to Lipari and said she could call them and make a reservation and organize transport, since bookings could only be made per phone. We thanked her, and said we would think about it. The next day we asked the reception if they could make a call for us, but then another employee told that they dont make this kind of calls for their guests. We managed ourselves and had a nice dinner. A hotel stay consists of many details and in Hotel Gatopardo the details are not olways in favour of the guests. The next time we will try another place for our stay.
