Hotel Cincotta  

Perched on a reef with panoramic Mediterranean views, Hotel Cincotta sits just 100 metres from the Port of Panarea. Walk to nearby spots like Lisca Bianca, Cala Junco, Calcara Beach and the Panarea Prehistoric Village — ideal for quick island hops and coastal walks.

This Aeolian-style hideaway has 29 air-conditioned rooms with simple, white-walled décor, wooden furnishings and private terraces with sun loungers looking out over the sea, garden or Panarea island. Expect satellite flat-screen TVs, minibars and en suite bathrooms with hairdryers (some rooms include bidets). On sunny mornings the buffet breakfast spills onto a terrace that frames the sea.

Stretch out on a large sun terrace or sink into the salt-water swimming pool with hydromassage jets, then sip at the poolside bar. There’s a garden, terrace views, tour and concierge help, free luggage transport to and from the port, and a small diving club nearby for sea-lovers.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The hotel also offers a business center, luggage storage, dry cleaning and a banquet hall, plus a roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant serves local and national cuisine; room service is available during limited hours. Unwind with a drink at the bar/lounge or the poolside bar, and enjoy the buffet breakfast on the terrace when weather permits (note: dining venues close seasonally).
