About this property

Panarea- Isole Eolie, 'A PICCIRIDDA , OVERLOOKING THE SEA

In Panarea, Isole Eolie, this little independent delicious house, 'A PICCIRIDDA', from which its name in Sicilian dialect, is very special for its wonderful position overlooking the sea where you can admire the fantastic view of the active volcano “Stromboli” ant its nightlly eruptions and the smaller islands Basiluzzo, Dattilo, Lisca Bianca, Lisca Nera and Bottaro.The house has a very nice double-room with a great half-roundel window, 2 meters large, so as from the bed you have the wonderful sensation to be floating on the sea. Bathroom is adjacent to bedroom.
Kitchen is small but efficient with fridge, freezer and oven.Outside a splendid terrace with a masonry sofa, comfortable seats and two tables for dinner for 6 persons.The house is in the centre where you can find all you need (shops, food, etc.).“‘A Picciridda” is the ideal holiday place for young couples on their “ honeymoon “ or for more aged couples too who desire to relive happy moments in this unforgettable atmosphere.


Panarea (kmq.3,4), compared to Capri in its best years, is the smallest but certainly the most exclusive and enchanting isle of the all Aeolian Archipelago formed from other six famous isles: Stromboli, Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Filicudi e Alicudi.
An interesting characteristic of Panarea that contribute to its uniqueness is the total inexistence of carriage-way. In fact the ancient mule-tracks have been today restored for the only use of little electrical cars or some little motor means of transport.
Other important characteristic:_ in the roads there aren’t electrical lights so that the nights in Panarea with its starry sky have really a magical effect_.
With little rental boats you can enjoy of the beauty of the sea with its crystal-clear waters and its fantastic shores, or in alternative you can choose to go to the sea –side near the house.
The island also offers the possibility to go for beautiful walks in the mountain: the highest top is “Pizzo del Corvo” (420 mts.).

how to reach us: How to arrive: From Naples, Reggio Calabria, Messina, Milazzo, Palermo ports: From Naples - 5 hours by hydrofoil (Snav Company ), 1 night by ferry (Siremar Company). From Reggio Calabria: 3 hours by hydrofoil (Ustica lines Company). From Messina: 2,50 by hydrofoil (Ustica lines Company). From Milazzo: 2 hours by hydrofoil (Ustica lines Company/Siremar Company). From Palermo: 4,30 hours by hydrofoil (Ustica lines Company).

From Panarea it is possible to make excursions in the other islands by the hydrofoils service.
The beautiful Mediterranean vegetation is luxuriant of indian figs, brooms, capers and olives.
The Aeolian Archipelago with its wonderful and very interesting volcanic nature, defined one of the most beautiful in the world, in the 19th century has been the destination of some famous travellers; for exemple the Writer Alexandre Dumas (father) and the Archiduke Luigi Salvatore of Austria who were preminently travellers and researchers.

Cute cottage with a picture perfect postcard view.
Best part of the house is the view. Enjoyed watching the view of Stromboli and Basiluzzo every day. The house is well furnished - good quality bed sheets and a kitchen with an oven. Carolina is a perfect host - she met us at the port and was available for all our needs. We will definitely rent again.

A wonderful place on the small island of Panarea!
A wonderful place on the small island of Panarea! From the arrival (Carolina picked us up at the port) to the check out, a friendly service. The apartment is located on the sea with a stunning view on the islands of Stromboli and Dattilo. Charming furnishings, convenient, clean, large furnished terrace - perfect for a calm holiday. We recommend this nice apartment with good conscience.

Amazing experience, amazing host
A perfect property with a gorgrous terrace and view. Romantic and a great size, it has all you need. Small well-stocked kitchen, and the best terrace in Panarea. Totally private and secluded too. Carolina is a perfect host, offering a local guide to Panarea that's extensive, and has great local tips. The apartment is cleaned regularly and Carolina is on hand for everything you want.

The perfect spot on a lovely little island
We didn't think it was possible for A Picciridda to live up to the photographs, but it was actually even better in real life. Carolina was the perfect host, meeting us off the ferry with a freshly picked flower and taking us up the hill to the house on a little electric cart (no cars are allowed on the island), she had bottled water and cold Prosecco waiting for us in the fridge and the house was perfectly equipped for everything we needed. The views from the house are breathtaking and it's easy to enjoy all your meals at home, but there are also many lovely restaurants and bars only a short walk away. The house was clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated - the view of the sea from the bed is something we'll never forget. The only downside is that it can be a little noisy from the famous open-air Raya discotheque in peak season. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return and recommend friends.

Great stay - very romantic!
The view from the apartment is to die for - one of the most stunning you could wish for. The apartment is very cosy – definitely suitable for two only. We had a lovely week’s stay and Carolina was very friendly and hospitable. Definitely recommended for a quiet, romantic "get away from it all" break.

The perfect place for relaxation, stunning views
'A Picciridda is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The location is ideal. Close enough to town so that you can walk to everything easily -- shops, restaurants, the port, activities -- yet down a quiet passage way. The terrace is the real star of the property. Overlooking the sea with excellent views of Stromboli. Perfect for a couple, the property is clean, well-appointed and well maintained. We like to cook for ourselves and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The owner is knowledgeable about every aspect of Panarea and is very helpful and friendly. I recommend this property very strongly. We've had 2 magical holidays here and hope to return again.

Beautifull, amazing and perfect place to stay
È un posto unico al mondo, a picco sul mare e con una delle più belle viste di Panarea: Stromboli, Dattilo, Basiluzzo e lisca bianca. La picciridda è ben arredata e curata nei minimi dettagli, ottimamente manutenuta. I proprietari molto gentili e sempre disponibili a soddisfare eventuali richieste.

secret place in paradise
Its the perfect hideaway to enjoy this pretty and charming island. From the gorgeous terrace you enjoy the morning sun and the view to Stromboli and the port. I could sit there for 2 hours just watching ….. The apartment is furnished so tastefully in the eolian style and Carolina is caring host, who makes you feel at home from the very beginning!! Thank You!!

Wonderful honeymoon retreat
A truly perfect little apartment - despite the August heat and the holiday crowds, this little gem is tucked away and provides complete privacy. The terrace is gorgeous and the views are simply stunning - whether at sunrise, breakfast coffee, evening drink or midnight digestif. The windows open out to give a stunning view of the bay from the bed so, even if it is cloudy or if there is a spectacular thunder storm, you can watch it all from bed! The island is fun, lively and beautiful and there's plenty of little coves or restaurants to get away from the crowds. Carolina was very helpful and gave us a list of restaurants and delis to visit - all of which were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a better place - island or apartment - for a week during our honeymoon. We will definitely be back! Saskia & Andy

Ein kleiner grosser Schatz am Mittelmeer!
Das kleine, liebevoll eingerichtete und sehr gepflegte Haus liegt perfekt, ruhig, direkt über dem Meer, mit einer einmalig schönen Aussicht. Der Hafen, Restaurants, Läden und Badeplätze sind in Spazierdistanz zu erreichen. Die Besitzerin Carolina bereitete uns einen herzliche Empfang und gab uns viele Empfehlungen. Gut zu wissen, dass es diesen Ort gibt!

A Gorgeous Hideaway
A Picciridda in Panarea is truly all that one could wish for. Tranquil and peaceful and yet not far from the buzzy little port. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and fresh with fantastic views and within easy reach of the town. We stayed there for a week, but it was as if the time stopped.... We enjoyed every single moment from the morning coffee on the terrace to watching the incredibly starry sky at night. Carolina was very welcoming and extremely helpful, she met us at the port with a bunch of flowers and a golf cart waiting to take us up to the apartment. Carolina gave us a list of the local restaurants and recommended a boat hire service called SeaPanarea where we ended up hiring a boat for pretty much the whole day. We went to the islets Basiluzzo and Dattilo and then around the whole island. The scenery from the boat was stunning and jumping off the boat to the sea for a swim was refreshing. We'd recommend viewing the island from this perspective. We also went hiking one day late afternoon as we wanted to see the sunset on the other side of the island. The views were breath taking. Hiking boots , a map and a torch would be advised. Our visit to Panarea was unforgettable and we miss it's beauty and unique atmosphere already.

A quiet gem nestled on the cliffs above the sea.
This comfortable and sweet little house was perfect for us. The terrace has spectacular views of the sea and the sunrise in the early morning is gorgeous, alnd there is a curtain you can pull so it doesn't wake you ip. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed very comfortable, as is the shower. The sheets and towels were changed once during our weeklong stay, which wa also a plus. The air conditioning works perfectly and , given the heat wave Italy experienced this summer, it was extremely helpful. Panarea is a small and busy island, a destination for the hip crowd. We really appreciated the privacy and peace and quiet of the house, and we were close to everything we needed, as well as a few minutes walk to where we could swim. Carolina was a charming hostess and gave us a list of restaurants as well as tips for things to do. I would definitely reccomend this place to couples or individuals.

Un rêve merveilleux !!!
Une île enchanteresse hors du temps, une petite maison très accueillante à la décoration typiquement locale très recherchée, une terrasse a vous couper le souffle, des propriétaires très chaleureux et extrêmement attentifs à vos exigences, un service haut de gamme au niveau d'un grand hôtel ... tout ces éléments font de la Picciridda le lieu idéal pour se retrouver et être en paix avec soi-même. Un merveilleux rêve les yeux ouverts.

Wonderful and unforgettable stay in Panarea
Me and my wife stayed in Panarea in this amazing house for two weeks. We loved the atmosphere, the position and the kindness of the host. Everything was perfect, clear and well organized. If you love the sea and you look for enjoying flavours, colours and breathtaking pamoramic view of the eolian arcipelago the place is really worth visiting and we really suggest it. Many thanks to Carolina who really helped us for every need we had and explaining at our arrival what to do and where to find everything. Also if we stayed in a very crowded period the house is out of the messy and lousy part of the Island so we didnt have any problem in the nights.

Hâvre de paix
Hâvre de paix d’où l’on observe jours après jours et sans se lasser le ballet des bateaux vers la silhouette évanescente du Stromboli. Proche du port, calme (surtout hors saison) et en retrait juste au-dessus de la mer, parmi les fleurs sauvages. Carolina notre hôtesse est attentionnée et son assistance bienvenue. Une villégiature appréciable pour explorer les îles alentour ou tout simplement écouter le bruit de la mer...

The property was delightful. Beautifully appointed
We enjoyed a very restful stay. Loved watching the comings and goings at the port from our terrace. We did all the walking the island provided, the hill walking is very strenuous (not complaining) but do bring good walking boots. Luckily we did. The weather was very hot and there were some unexpected mosquitos at large. So be prepared! Carolina was delightful and very willing to give help and advise. We very much enjoyed visiting her home and meeting her husband and friends. October is a good time of year to go as the island is very quiet. Only slight disappointment were the 2 restaurants we tried, which were very expensive for their menus.

The view from the terrazza says it all
If you are looking for the best place to stay in Panarea for a relaxing retreat for two this is the place. The property includes a very comfortable bedroom with ample bathroom [with shower]. The bedroom stays pretty cool on its own, but there is air conditioning that works well on hotter days. The kitchen is compact but includes everything you'll need to cook a romantic meal for two. There is a hob with 4 burners and an oven, perfect for all preparations of local fish. The real attraction is the terrazza which offers dazzling views of Stromboli and smaller islands. It is the best place to sit and read and doze and relax. Spotlessly clean. Maid service was included 3 times per week. The owner was friendly and responsive to all our questions. Everything went smoothly. The location is also excellent, Easy walking distance from all amenities -- the port and the town are at most 10 minutes walk away. Quiet and tranquil. Beautiful scented flowers growing everywhere. There is nothing negative I can say about this place except that at the end of your holiday you will have to go back home!

Petit coin de paradis d'une île enchanteresse
Pour amoureux, écrivain, poète, ou pour simplement se retrouver avec soi-même sous le beau ciel de l'Italie et dans une île enchanteresse face au facétieux Stromboli, la petite maison de Carolina est un paradis terrestre ouvert sur la Méditerranée. Tout y est ravissant depuis la vue jusqu'à la décoration en passant par la terrasse. L'île est un écrin et la Picciridda est son bijou. L'accueil de Carolina est chaleureux et attentionné. Là-bas, on y laisse ses soucis et sa fatigue et on pratique le Carpe Diem du matin au soir. A vivre absolument pour les épris de beauté et de douceur de vivre...

a marvelous week in Carolina's house
Caroline's house is beautifully situated on the sea; it is a little paradise, beautifully decorated, we loved the terrace, nothing is missing. You have to test the addresses recommended by Carolina (especially Da Paolino restaurant and Nona Francesca). The house is close to everything. Carolina is a careful and delicate hostess. I recommend June for those who want peace, it was very quiet during our week. Many shops, cafes ; you should rent a boat on the dock to go swimming in the islands around Panarea ; if you like walking there is plenty to do, but it was already very hot in June.

Herrlicher Ort zum Ausspannen
Den herrlichen Sonnenaufgang über dem Meer vom Bett aus geniessen, mit dem Rauschen des Meeres einschlafen, den Stromboli Tag und Nacht vor Augen, auf der wunderschönen sonnigen Terrasse essen und lesen, sich selber in der gut eingerichteten Küche etwas kochen oder sich bei Nonna Pasqualina (http://www.dafrancescopanarea.com) verwöhnen zu lassen, in herrlicher Natur Entschleunigung erleben, Zeit und Ruhe miteinander zu erleben und geniessen - das waren unsere "Flittertage" nach 33 Ehejahren auf Panarea. Der liebevolle Empfang und die kompetente Betreuung (it., franz., engl.) durch unsere Vermieterin rundeten den wunderschönen Aufenthalt ab. Sehr zu empfehlen!

La Picciridda is a True Gem
La Picciridda, the name of this wonderful house, is a real dream come true. It has the most incredible setting and views, and you could quite easily sit on the terrace all day and evening watching the changes in the light, water and islands. Panarea is very special and La Piccirrida just makes your stay that more memorable. It is an efficient and gorgeously decorated little house and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering staying on the island. Carolina is wonderful,and so very very helpful and attentive. I will miss Carolina, Panarea and her gorgeous house.

Amazing views, exactly what we wanted!
We truly loved our stay at this charming little place. It was a relaxing trip for my mother and myself so they turned the bed into 2 singles. Kitchen had everything you needed and everything very clean. Well located in town and very comfortable. You're really staying here though for those views, unbelievable! We spent every day looking out towards Stromboli and watching the ferries come in, it was highly entertaining. My only recommendation would be to figure out how to get internet down there, although who needs it if you're truly on holiday? We loved it and the host Carolina was very helpful. I will come back!

Eine kleine, geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung mit tollen Blick auf den Stromboli. Ideal für Pärchen. Geräumiges Badezimmer, Küche mit allem Drum und Dran. Die Terrasse ersetzt einen Garten, zum Zentrum sind es nur wenige Minuten. Wer Ruhe sucht und den Sound von Meereswellen mag, ist das der richtige Ort. Empfehlung!

Truly stunning location
We stayed here for a week at the begining of May on our honeymoon and it was the most stunning and perfect location. There is the most spectacular view (exactly as the photos show) and we whiled away many evenings watching the nightly eruptions on Stromboli. Panarea itself was lovely - you can walk around the whole island in just over 3 hours although this isn't for the faint-hearted- and was very peaceful but we did visit before the start of the season. Hiring a small boat to pootle about Panarea and the small adjourning islands was a definite highlight as was trekking up the volcano (although you need to say over on Stromboli to do this). Carolina was a very helpful and thoughtful host and I highly recommend people visiting the island and staying here!
