“Charming small hotel in typical Aeolian style - tones of white, terracotta and pink, with simple furniture, private balconies and wonderful sea views. Fantastic infinity pool and pretty colonnaded terraces. Delicious Sicilian food. A gem of a hotel perfectly situated for exploring the island. ”

Hotel review

Glorious, whitewashed hotel in typical Aeolian style high on a hillside above the sea, Italy’s answer to the dreamy hideaways of the Greek Cyclades. 

The blinding white of the walls and the red frames of the doors echo the colours of the sun and the earth. The warm and welcoming atmosphere and the internal setting are nothing less: in a sober and elegant environment, in its simplicity, each antique belonging to the owners' family, becomes an essential part of the Aeolian house. 

The 12 guest rooms are situated in four buildings, separated from the main house. They radiate tones of white, terracotta and pink, with simple furniture, private balconies and wonderful views of Stromboli and Panarea and beautiful sunsets. There’s a fantastic infinity pool, a geothermal spa tub, and pretty colonnaded terraces for lounging in. The restaurant serves delicious local Sicilian favourites. 

This is an intimate gem of a hotel of just 12 rooms, perfectly situated for exploring the island.
