The Villa Diana is a little way up a hill, it has a wonderful view out to sea. It's an old fashioned and very charming guesthouse with lots of character. Not a modern property, but therein laid the charm. My room had a good sized bathroom.

A quiet hotel off the beaten track above the town.
It proved a wonderful place to relax and reflect and a timely base for the range of activities and tours that the island offers. We shared our stay with other convivial guests, some of whom were regular visitors and were more than happy to share ideas and experiences.

A great place for relaxing. A pension style hotel. I left my door open when I was in the room and let the sunshine and sea view pour in

One week in Albergo Villa Diana
All in all, it was a nice hotel. the view was great and the breakfast was good. Just it is located quite uphill without any elevator. so if you are old, pregnant or have a lot of stuff, I don't recommend this place. the air-conditioner is good and makes inside's weather pleasant. Bath room is quite big and nice. The internet is good outside (in the balcony) but not so good inside the room. Although the two gentlemen in the reception are nice, lady serves the breakfast doesn't behave so nicely (maybe because she doesn't know English). Another important thing is that the tap water is not drinkable (I am not sure about the other hotels in Lipari, maybe all are the same) and a bottle of mineral water is sold there (in the reception) for 1.5 Euro, while you can buy it from the supermarket for about 0.3 Euro, but it is hard to bring them up there!
Response from General Manager on 3 Sept 2016
Thanks for the compliments for our hotel and for all. Unfortunately the tap water travels a lot: ship to Lipari, various communal tanks, our tanks: for this ew not recommend to drink. Still, the bottle of mineral water (1,50 liter) from refrigerator everywhere in Italy coast at least Euro 1.50. Thanks again and see you soon. Gabriele

Local charm and fantastic view.
Above the town but a very reasonable distance for a short walk.(My preference is to be more local than tourist.) My first impression was not great due the natural condition of property. Inside it has so much charm, local hospitality and history. Owners and staff very helpful. A staff person makes the morning marmalade! and collected the freshest orange off the tree NOT one on the ground. All the property was very clean, bed comfortable and breakfast varied and satisfying.

Beautiful place
Nice hotel in a beautiful location just up the hill outside the main tourist area in Lipari. Our room opened onto a spacious terrace with gorgeous views. Breakfast on another beautiful terrace. Room spacious and clean. Courteous staff (they don't speak much English, but that's ok). Only one mild complaint: bed was pretty hard. Otherwise everything was great.

A really magical place
This is a really beautiful villa. The setting and view are stunning and the garden magical. The rooms are large, as are the bathrooms, and impeccably clean. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to be off the main drag in a peaceful setting and as it is above the town it also escapes the intense heat that can build up in the town. The manager is extremely helpful. I would thoroughly recommend it and think it is very good value for money.

Excellent accueil et séjour
Excellent accueil par le personnel. Ils sont très disponibles et bienveillants. Je recommande cet hôtel pour séjourner à Lipari. Ils vous proposent aussi le transport du port vers l’hôtel ce qui est très agréable lorsqu’on a de lourds bagages. En bref, très bon séjour et un personnel extrêmement gentil.

Buongiorno Ci fa piacere che abbia apprezzato la vista che si gode dalla nostra struttura, le cui camere differiscono l'una dall'altra, mantenendo volontariamente un arredamento in stile antico che può confondersi a volte con un bisogno di ristrutturazione. Ad ogni modo, prendiamo in considerazione la sua critica costruttiva e apporteremo dei miglioramenti alla sua stanza per far si di dare un'impressione migliore per i futuri ospiti. Ringraziandola per averci scelto, speriamo di riaverla tra i nostri graditi ospiti. Cordialmente

Buon hotel con panorama mozzafiato
L'albergo è in posizione rialzata, appena fuori la Città di Lipari e questo consente di godere di una vista mozzafiato, ma solo dalle parti comuni. La nostra stanza aveva finestre sulla veranda esterna, piuttosto lontana dalle zone con vista panoramica. A parte questo il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole e non solo per la bellezza delle Eolie.

Die Lage der Anlage etwas oberhalb von Lipari Stadt ist sicherlich das Highlight: Der Blick auf die Bucht und Altstadt ist spektakulär. Die Zimmer sind im guten Zustand, mit eigener Terrasse. Nur die Betten sind etwas unbequem, weil zu weich. Das(optionale) Frühstücksbuffet ist in Ordnung, die Marmelade selbst gemacht. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich. Insgesamt eine schöne Unterkunft, wir würden sie wieder buchen.

Hotel delizioso
Non vicinissimo al centro (comunque 10, 15 minuti a piedi dal corso), tutte le camere danno su terrazze con panorami stupendi, di fronte ad ogni camera c'è un salottino (sdraie, tavolino) che ti da la possibilità, se sei in hotel, di non rimanere chiuso nella stanza. l'hotel è in un grande giardino pieno di fiori. Anche la colazione si fa in terrazza.
Mille grazie dei complimenti . In effetti la macchina per l'espresso ed il cappuccino c'è e noi li facciamo a richiesta dell'ospite. Alla Sua prossima vacanza li apprezzerà. Saluti Gabriele

Sehr schönes Hotel mit herrlichem Ausblick
Zimmer einfach aber zweckmäßig eingerichtet und jeden Tag wurde sauber gemacht. Das Personal war zu jeder Zeit immer freundlich und nett. Wir hatten ein Raucherzimmer gebucht und waren im Hauptgebäude untergebracht mit direktem Zugang zu einer megagroßen Terrasse. Bei Fragen wurde uns sofort weitergeholfen und wir wurden, nach einem Anruf vom Hotelbetreiber, kostenlos von einem Fahrzeugverleiher vom Hotel abgeholt. Dort haben wir für einen Tag ein Quad ausgeliehen und haben eine Inselrundfahrt unternommen. Es gab keinerlei Probleme!

Bella location immersa nel verde
Bella costruzione immersa nel verde. A pochi minuti dal centro e da Marina Corta (da cui partono le escursioni in barca) e dal porto (dove attraccano gli aliscafi e dove partono i bus). Camere spaziose, molto silenziose, e ben pulite con spazio sul terrazzo comune dotato di tavolino e sdraio. Da apprezzare il rapporto di cordialità che si stabilisce subito con i proprietari e con il personale, tutti molto gentili e disponibili. Splendida la terrazza sulla quale si puo' gustare la colazione (ottima la marmellata) godendo di uno splendido panorama. Wifi free in tutta la struttura.

Bellissimo Albergo in stile eoliano
Ho soggiornato in questo albergo per tre notti con il mio ragazzo. Qualche giorno prima abbiamo prenotato gratuitamente la navetta dell'hotel che ci è venuta a prendere direttamente al porto degli aliscafi Ustica Lines. La struttura è immersa nel verde, tranquillissima, il porticato consente di avere una bellissima vista sul porto e sul mare. Il personale è squisito e disponibile. Sul sito internet non è riportato, ma i clienti dell'hotel "Villa Diana" possono accedere gratuitamente alla piscina dell'hotel Gattopardo, a pochissimi metri, il che non guasta! L'unica pecca sono le formiche....avrei messo 5 come voto se non fosse stato che ce le siamo ritrovate dappertutto: dentro le valigie, in bagno, addirittura la sera prima della partenza abbiamo comprato il cibo per il viaggio del giorno dopo, lo abbiamo messo in un posto in cui non credevamo le formiche riuscissero ad arrivare e la mattina dopo...sorpresa, cibo pieno di formiche che, ahimè, abbiamo dovuto buttare. Per il resto, hotel bellissimo, ci ritornerò sicuramente!

Toller Blick vom Hotel
Das Hotel - eine geschmackvolle Villa in toller Lage - ist terrassenförmig angelegt und sehr individuell mit den Bildern und Möbeln des verstorbenen Schweizer Malers Edwin Hunziker ausgestattet. Von den Terrassen (teilweise überdacht) hat man einen spektakulären Blick auf Burgberg, Marina Corta und Meer. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und mit Klimaanlage ausgestattet, das Frühstück eher italienisch spartanisch. Die Hausbesitzer sprechen kein Deutsch und wenig Englisch und suchen von sich aus wenig Kontakt zu den Gästen. Die Entfernung zu Altstadt und Marina Corta beträgt 5-10 Gehminuten. Für Gäste, die keine ausgesprochene Aversion gegen Katzen (3 ausgewachsene + 2 junge) haben, ist das Haus absolut zu empfehlen.

Villa Diana Lipari - molto caratteristico
L'hotel è situato un po' in collina a 10 minuti a piedi dal centro ed immerso nel verde. Alle singole camere con vista mare si accede direttamente tramite un patio in stile eoliano. Ottima la pulizia delle camere ed il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. Unico piccolo neo la prima colazione poco varia, ma nel complesso è un'ottima scelta. Consigliato, soprattutto alle coppie.
