“Recommend. Don’t miss out”

OMG — this place is absolutely heavenly! Well, technically, it's a little slice of heaven just off the mainland...

OMG — this place is absolutely heavenly! Well, technically, it's a little slice of heaven just off the mainland... Our room was breathtaking, with not one but two balconies overlooking the crashing waves. We booked half board (something I’m usually not too keen on), but I was genuinely amazed by the menu — I couldn't wait to go back the next evening! Lipari takes you back in time. Quaint, peaceful, and utterly wonderful. It forces you — in the best possible way — to slow down, unwind, and just let the world drift by. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Hotel Rocce Azzurre — at least once in your life. Trust me, you won't forget

“A Real Treasure”

What a gorgeous place! Perched right on the water above a popular public beach (volcanic pebbles, not sand) with views for days, the RA is a family hotel offering great service, good food and real charm. The location is perfect - ten minutes walk to the harbour through charming narrow streets, and a little further to the port. There's a boat doc by the hotel with rentals available. The hotel and the Eolian islands in general attract mainly Italians. We heard few British or American voices during our stay, though the hotel staff spoke enough to take care of anything we needed.

“The jewel of the Aeolian Islands”

Whenever we stay at the Rocce Azzurre, which we have now once and sometimes twice every year for the past fifteen, I come away hoping the God of Winds, Aeolus, will see fit to blow me back there once more, for this is a wonderful family-run hotel, offering delicious food and perfect peace.

Whenever we stay at the Rocce Azzurre, which we have now once and sometimes twice every year for the past fifteen, I come away hoping the God of Winds, Aeolus, will see fit to blow me back there once more, for this is a wonderful family-run hotel, offering delicious food and perfect peace. Situated overlooking the sea, just five minute's stroll down the narrow Vico Maddalena from the Marina Corta, the heart of the town of Lipari and where the island's tour boats depart from, you can sunbathe on the deck at the water's edge, or step round the corner and swim off the beach at Porto delle Genti. If you prefer the beaches above Canneto, the Lunga, from which the buses leave, is only a short stroll down the main street, the Corso Vittorio Emanuele. And whether your preference is for appreciating the history in the citadel, or enjoying passeggio whilst sitting in a cafe at the Corta, or watching the world pass by from a cafe in the Corso, or simply enjoying a cocktail while gazing out over the Tyrrhenian on the hotel terrace, the Rocce Azzurre is the real jewel of Lipari. The rooms are light and airy, and airconditioned and always beautifully clean; the staff are super-friendly and couldn't be more helpful in arranging trips out or transfers. If Lipari is the best kept secret in Sicily, then this hotel is the best kept secret in the Mediterranean. But please, keep this to yourself; some things really can be too good to be true.
