Must be the best situation on the Med. Very friendly staff couldn't do enough to please. Hotel always immaculate – private and communal areas. Breakfasts didn't vary, but I feel that this is usual on the continent, as (to a degree) in UK. Splendid situation with swimming from the hotel. A little more drawer space in the bedroom would have... More

Just returned from a tour to the Aeolian Islands with Travel Editions. The Rocce Azzurre is beautifully situated unless you have walking difficulties, as one of our party did- it's quite a steep climb to get down to it, and back up to the town. The hotel is very clean, and the sea-view rooms a delight. Breakfasts were boring- identical... More

This hotel is the best on the island. Adriano and his daughter know how to treat their guest.I travel all over Italy with my friends and I have to say this is one of the nicest places and hotels we have been to. It is my second time there and it will not be my last. See you soon Lipari... More

I returned to the rocce azzurre for the second time in two years because we could think of nowhere we'd rather spend our holiday. As it was last time, everything has been fantastic. The rooms and hospitality are both first rate but special mention must go to the food - it is the best in lipari in my opinion and... More

We have just returned from 10 wonderful days at the Rocce Azzure, and it was again very difficult to leave! Adriano, Ariana and all the staff are so attentive and made us feel extremely welcome. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure that our stay was perfect. The location is superb and dinners on the terrace watching life on the... More

I have just returned from a holiday with my daughter who wanted to celebrate her 21st birthday with me by climbing volcanoes. The hotel is in the most beautiful spot overlooking the sea, there is a sunbathing platform , where you can lie and listen to the sound of the sea all around and swim in the beautifully clear turquoise...

A wonderful fairly small hotel in an idyllic cove about 800 yards from the centre of Lipari. Run by Adriano and his daughter Arianna. Both were present every day, mingling with the guests and arranging everything in a totally hands-on manner. A small and intimate staff engendering a real family feel for the guests; in fact Arianna said that we... More

Took our 21 year old daughter with us on our trip to Sicily. The room was very spacious for the 3 of us and the views were perfect. Plenty of room for the 3 of us to sit on the balcony and enjoy the views. And the nightly dinners were beautifully presented and I don't think you could get a... More

We travelled with a company called Travel Editions booked through the Guardian/Observer newspaper and were not happy with their organisation but this did not affect our view of the hotel or the Aeolian Islands. See a full trip report and our problems with the company on the Aeolian Islands Forum here on TA. The hotel was excellent and the staff... More
