Once you reach this peaceful hillside oasis 2km south of town, you may never want to leave. Artist Paola and physicist Marcello have transformed their Aeolian villa into a green B&B that works at all levels, from dependable wi-fi to a panoramic terrace where delicious home-grown breakfasts are served, featuring produce from the adjacent garden, fresh-baked cakes and homemade marmalade.
Marcello and Paula offer free transfers from/to the hydrofoil dock upon arrival and departure, but if you plan to do any exploring, you may find it easier to rent your own wheels (bike, car or scooter) at the port. The only public transport option is to take the 'Linea Bianca' bus from Marina Lunga to Capistello (€1.30, 10 minutes, seven daily except Sunday) and walk 200m steeply uphill; otherwise it's a 30-minute walk between the B&B and town.
