La Raya

  • Price range: $$$$
  • Location: Panarea

Fodor's Review:

This discreet, expensive hotel is perfectly in keeping with the elite style of Panarea, most exclusive of the Aeolian Islands. Public areas, including a broad terrace and an open-air restaurant, are built into a hillside right on the port; the residential area is a 10-minute walk inland, though the rooms still enjoy the serene prospect of the sea and Stromboli from their balconies. The decor is elegant and understated, with Moorish-type hangings and low divans helping to create a tone of serene luxury. Families with young children are asked to book elsewhere. Pros: Great views of Stromboli, fashionable ambience. Cons: Snooty staff, uphill trudge to rooms, mediocre food.
