Hotels in Italy - This 3-star hotel lies on the Isle of Lipari off the north coast of Sicily. Great facilities, excellent sightseeing, nearby beaches, and splendid views of the Mediterranean make this the perfect spot for a romantic Italian vacation.

An old country-house, the hotel lies just 100 metres from the sea and the main port, and is just a few kilometres from white beaches on this coast of pumice stone and obsidian.

The house was transformed into a hotel in 1950. Continual improvements to both its structure and its services mean it today offers levels of service and comfort exceeding its three-star rating. It lies in the historic centre of town, near the Aeolian archaeological museum. You reach the hotel via a typical narrow Aeolian street which, through a vaulted entrance with a stone arcade, takes you to a very elegant garden, and within this the house itself.
