Diana Brown

Now run by the daughter and son-in-law of longtime Lipari innkeeper Diana Brown, this delightful warren of rooms tucked down a narrow alley sports attractive features including in-room kettles, fridges, clothes-drying racks, satellite TV and a book exchange. Units downstairs are darker but have built-in kitchenettes. Its excellent buffet breakfast is served on the sunny terrace and solarium with deck chairs.
