Reviews for Casa Mafalda B&B
Review 1:Everything was great.
Review 2:Very very good value for price. Great nice location close to towers of churches. We had room with sea view - small balcony with outstanding view. Having that room with that view and breakfast for 70 euro was a really great value.
Review 3:IMHO twin beds pulled together do not equal 1 bed as requested.
Review 4:I liked the location near the small port, but others might prefer closer to the main port, which is s 15 minute walk away. Breakfast was excellent and varied. Not just sweet breads and cakes. Host accommodated early hydrofoil times.
Review 5:Casa Mafalda is situated at the other end of the main street of Lipari town. The room we had was more like a small two-storey flat - the whole old house was very nicely modernized. Reception was friendly and the breakfast beautifully laid out and delicious. There is a beach where you can swim only 100 m away, just as the owner promised:-), and everything in the town is at walking distance.
Review 6:The location was at the end part of the center, but as lipari is small, it's fine. Futher as we had to leave early we got a breakfast take-away and some coffee :-) The room was clean and comfortable
Review 7:Everything was perfect
Review 8:Very helpful owner, perfect advice for excursions, beaches and restaurants, as I had to leave very early I received accord breakfast which was also excellent
Review 9:Nothing special to mention.
Review 10:We enjoyed 5 days last august 2015, in one of the family room (2 adults & 2 kids). The place is quiet, kept very clean, and the owners extremely friendly. Location is great, allowing to go in city center (i.e. restaurants !) by foot very quickly and easily. As mentioned, the presence of the small supermarket 10m nearby is very useful (water bottles are heavy !!). We really enjoyed our stay, and got good advices and support for activities (Mehari tour of Lipari, Vulcano's climbing,...) by the owner. We definitely recommend this place !
Review 11:Nothing.
Review 12:The apartment was a nice surprise in an otherwise neglected city. It is beautifully designed, spotless and quite classy with lovely touches created by the use of light wood, dark timber beams, books, a striking original painting. Also the kitchen and the small patio are welcoming and well equiped. The owner was very helpful and friendly. We chose this B&B because of the close proximity to the port and very pleased because it took us only 5 minutes on foot. We definitely recommend a stay in this B&B.
Review 13:The beds were a little hard but otherwise great and nothing to not like!
Review 14:The staff of Casa Mafalda were lovely and very helpful. The location was great, very close to the Marina Corta and all restaurants and beaches. Everyday the staff helped us organise taxis, beach visits and boat trips. Highly recommended! And Tom the cat was very cute as well!'
Review 15:Lovely family run B&B located in a quiet street close to the harbour area. Clean, modern and bright rooms. Excellent breakfast - lots of choice. Great value for money, wish we had been staying longer.
Review 16:There is no pickup service. So it takes about 15 min walk with laggage from/to the port.
Review 17:Good value and good breakfast! Easy access to the main place of the city.
Review 18:Nothing
Review 19:Lovely twin room (even nicer double rooms available), wonderful host Giuseppe and his son offered one of best breakfasts in lovely garden. Very hospitable.
Review 20:So glad I picked this B&B. Goer fact location to walk back after dinner or boat trip from Marina Corta. Breakfast was very good. Rooms were standard ikea furniture but we're good sized and did the job. Left early one morning & they left a packed breakfast for us which was a really nice touch. Wouldn't question staying here again.
Review 21:Great value for money! Is very close to Marina Corta, handy when doing excursions to the other islands, but also very peaceful, quiet, when just coming to relax & ZEN time. Breakfast is varied and delicious. Staff is friendly. Room was clean and modern.
Review 22:It would have been nice to have heat... it was very cold there at times.
Review 23:I loved the breakfast! It was the best on my trip - many European and American choices, beautiful buffet style. I liked the layout of the apartment, too.
Review 24:Some minor room maintenance, but not unexpected for the price
Review 25:huge room with lots of space Little kitchenette was enough that we could cook and enjoy a good meal different to restraunt food Good location Staff was very helpful with limited English
Review 26:We had a top floor room with wonderful views over the sea and the town, a real pleasure. We had to leave early for the ferry and the owners offered a breakfast bag to take with us.
Review 27:Hard to come up with any negative thoughts -
Review 28:A lovely experience on a lovely island. Tucked just a short stroll away from a lively piazza we found our hosts to be so kind and helpful. The accommodations were spotless and the breakfast offerings were delicious. We would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Lipari
Review 29:Quite quiet although you sometimes hear a scooter fly past but this unavoidable on the island.
Review 30:Fantastic b&b. The hosts are very welcoming and ensure that you have a wonderful stay. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast is very nice and you can order hot food. Would definitely stay here again
Review 31:Location was next to the marina where we a few minutes from restaurants. The supermarket was next door and the accommodation had a fridge we could store cold drinks. Breakfast was wonderful with fresh fish and fruit. There was a roof terrace which overlooked the water and we could sunbathe in privacy. Very clean and tidy- recommend.
Review 32:The location is actually very good and within walking distance of the marina (where the tours depart from) and shops, but getting to the apartment from the main port is a bit difficult if you have luggage. Best to catch a taxi or a bus.
Review 33:Very gracious and accommodating owners - our room was not available when we arrived and we were in desperate need of a shower after having travelled for more than 20 hours, not to mention we were under a time crunch as we were meant to join a day tour soon after checking in, but they got it ready extremely quickly and we were very grateful for that! The room was clean, spacious, and all amenities were available. Breakfast was lovely.
Review 34:When we arrived at casa Mafalda with my family, Raoul the business owner had informed us that he overlooked our reservation, he was so upfront of his mistake and was so apologetic he immediately booked us in a 4 star hotel only 150m up the road he also pickup the extra chargers of 160 Euros. The rest of my family stayed at casa mafalda and the experience was great. Raoul even though we didn't stay at your B&B we shall return soon. Giuseppe Perth Western Australia
Review 35:Only minor comments on breakfast and language (Italian only)
Review 36:Very nice room for the whole family / very well located / veryfriendly owner / we had a very early check-in and this is highlyappreciated when travelling with kids from one island to another
Review 37:You are far from the nicest beaches in Lipari, but it is not a major problem. There are buses or taxis that go everywhere on the island. I actually preferred being close to the center for going out in the evening.
Review 38:We got a triple room which was really cheap for the size it had. It had two floors, with sofa and bathroom on the first, and the beds on the second. It was really clean! Moreover it was less than one minute away from the center of Lipari. The breakfast was also really good: there were croissants, cannoli, and a homemade cake. There was even fish to eat. I definitely recommend this place.

Review 64:Commodities
Review 65:Room Staff Location
Review 66:Our stay at Casa Mafalda was fantastic. Raul and his wife were exceptional hosts. A wonderful location. We will definitely return!
Review 67:Hard bed Street noise
Review 68:It's location- easy access to the heart of the strip. Very clean Furnished appropriately
Review 69:Liquid soap option would have been better than the small little soaps we used for showering.
Review 70:Loved the location, could walk to the small local beach and simply blend in with the locals. Walking distance to local piazza and eateries. Our hosts, Raoul and his wife were absolutely lovely and put up with my bad italian. Breakfast was very good - loved it.
Review 71:WIFI is only available in the lobby area and not available in the room. But I think that is the common in the old historical stone buildings, as was our experience from the whole trip.
Review 72:The owner's family was very friendly and go out of their way to help, despite limited english. The location is excellent. It is not only near the action center (only steps away from the Marina and the piazza where locals gather, so a great place to people watch while eating/drinking; it is also a few minutes' walk from the "main street" where there are many shops and restaurants and tourists :-)), but also a Super Mercado right next door to the B&B which conveniently provides our daily grocery need. Breakfasts were excellent. The room was spacious, bedroom upstairs and living space downstairs. We have to specially thank the owner, Raoul. He made a special trip to drive our luggages to the port on our departure, when we inquired about taking a taxi (rolling luggage on historical cobble stone streets takes a little effort and we were trying to save some energy for the remaining day of traveling). We were really satisfied with our stay at Casa Malfada and will recommend to our friends and others.
Review 73:Thought we would have a sea view but didn't but this was myassumption not what was stated on the website.
Review 74:Lovely helpful staff, good room and bathroom just near port, so locationgreat. Good breakfast, with local food, yoghurt, cereal and eggs of yourchoice. Takeaway breakfast organised for us without request for earlystart was a treat. Much appreciated.
Review 75:Absolutely nothing.
Review 76:Raoul, the owner, was extremely helpful, he was such a gentleman and couldn't do enough for me. He helped me locate a friend's relative who was in her 80s, didn't speak any English and I didn't have a phone number for her and I didn't speak Italian. He absolutely made my stay there so enjoyable and one I will never forget.
Review 77:Great hospitality. Lovely breakfast. And even though we had some language barriers, hosts made every effort to accomodate our needs. Was also nice to stay a little away from port, and so close to lovely marina.
Review 78:The room was wonderful. The owners could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Breakfast was outstanding! Would happily stay there again if we return to Lipari.
Review 79:No adverse comments. Thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Review 80:Very clean with very friendly and cooperative staff. Stayed in acleverly designed split level triple room which included an inbuiltkitchenette. Very close to Marina Piccola, and the main street - CorsoVittorio Emanuele.
Review 81:Owners were on-site and provided all services personally. Easy walk to town center, dining, shops, dock for excursion boats. Breakfast room was inviting, contemporary and spotlessly clean. Breakfast offered high quality foods and variety. Our room was an efficiency apt, so cooking & eating would be possible, although we did not do so. We liked our private entrance off a little square and enjoyed our lovely balcony with a handy clothesline. Owner provided us with computer access upon request.
Review 82:Nothing at all - very good altogether
Review 83:Very good B&B - friendly staff/owner, well situated in the city - fantastic breakfast - very nice rooms - all in all a very satisfactory experience - will recommend to friends and family
