“My favourite hotel in Sicily!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2008

We stayed at Baia Portinenti for three nights during our honeymoon trip of Sicily. Loved it - it was definitely the best hotel we stayed at!

We looked on the website and emailed them to say we were arriving and could they pick us up at the port. The reply came back almost immediately saying yes! They also gave us a lift back to the port at the end of our stay, which we did not expect, but fully appreciated!!

Right from the beginning the staff were really friendly and helpful - we got loads of info and booked our Stromboli tour through them.

We specifically wanted a room with a kitchenette and it was lovely. The room was huge, the bed was also huge and comfy and everything was so clean and neat.

We had a seaview balcony and felt really at home. The bathroom was modern and clean, and the shower good - once we had worked out how to turn the hot water on!

The breakfast was really tasty - tea & coffee, toast, bread, cereal, yoghurts, jam etc, with gorgeous surroundings.

Also there is free internet on a computer just for guests, which was really useful for us.

The only slight niggles were the kitchen wasn't very well equipped - could've done with a proper cutting knife and chopping board.

Also there is a hot tub outside which we were really looking fwd to, but it wasn't hot - just lukewarm!

However those things did not affect our enjoyment and I would stay again without hesitation.

“A must stay!”

The best hotel on our visit! Your day begins with a great cup of cappuccino and complimentary breakfast bar! The staff was overly eager to help us find local attractions and many times booked our reservations. The house keeping - impeccable! Only complaint is that the walls are a wee bit thin. Definitely recommend a visit!

“Wonderful charm and great service!”

We were a little nervous because this was the only place that wasn't booked in late July but our stay here was fantastic. The rooms are not ultra modern and have older furniture in them but they were huge. We were with another couple and this was the only hotel in Sicily to grant our request of being next to each other and we had an ajoining room which made it more fun. One of our rooms had a kitchen which was great for putting leftovers in and having our drinks on our patio that had a great view of the water. Good a/c and they did an excellent job of cleaning the room every day despite the slobs we were. The best part was Monica who works at the front desk and helped us with anything we needed. Customer service in Italy leaves a bad taste in your mouth but Monica helped us with our every need. They gave us great recs for places to eat and we rented a day boat tour with her husband which was fantastic and the highlight of our trip.

The hotel doesn't have a pool but you can walk to a little cove for swimming in 5 minutes and the walk into town is only 15 minutes to get the boats to the private beaches. This is a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Lipari which is a fantastic island.

  • Liked — Service!
  • Disliked — Needed a pool.
  • Tips/Secrets — Take the boat trip with Giovani around the island.
