We spent three nights here at the very beginning of the season, so we were not able to utilize the pool. It was very pretty to look at though. The staff were very kind and we received an upgrade since the hotel was not full which was very sweet. The rooms only have windows that face the pool area, so we had to have them closed for privacy. But the room was spacious and sparkling clean. Great TV although it took a minute to understand how to connect the streaming channels. Breakfast was lovely. Fresh pastries, great coffee, fresh fruit and cereals. Hard boiled eggs.

The property is up a steep hill. So if you have mobility issues, that could be tricky. Ask for a room on the main floor to save more steps when you get here. Internet on the island is difficult at the best of times, so I was not surprised that WiFi was not great. And hot water was slow to appear, but it was fine once it did.

The staff, pool, and breakfast were all TERRIFIC!! This place exceeded our expectations.

It might be cliche, but what we liked least was leaving; we were wishing we had scheduled to spend a few more days here. That said, a few things: The ceiling fan in the room was quite noisy (but we really appreciated having both air conditioning and a ceiling fan), and we found it a bit odd/dissapointing that there was a complete kitchen on our room's balcony, including refrigerator, but none of it was operational (there was a sign from the hotel saying that the kitchen was essentially closed). Would have been nice to at least have a functional mini-refrigerator in the room for cold drinks.

A dream. I didn't know having a pool on an island would be such a good idea, but being able to just walk from you room in your swimsuit felt luxurious. The breakfast was great, with homemade cakes and cookies (the smell when they were prepared in the afteroon was amazing too). The view is also amazing, if you wake up early enough you can see the sunrise over the sea. Last but lot least, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly... not in the fake-smile way servers around the word get pushed to use, but a with down-to-earth approach to thing that comes from being genuinely nice people.

Mosquitos. Bring something to protect yourself.

Great place to stay! Very nice and helpful hosts :) The temperature in the room was great, air conditioning worked properly. The garden was beautiful and the view on the sea from the pool is amazing 😍 Additional thanks to the hosts for letting us live our bags at reception for a few hours while we visited Stromboli.

Breakfast was good, but I would like to have more savoury options, eggs and vegetables/salad.

Lovely secluded hotel with garden and pool just minutes on foot from the centre of Santa Marina. Friendly helpful staff. Enjoyed the tasty breakfast on the terrace - perfect for a relaxing few days

Nothing

The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the pool for a cooling dip. We especially liked our own outside area complete with hammocks and the informal breakfast area.

We would have liked more variety in the breakfast choice especially the fruit.

Great location. Beautiful views. Peaceful and pretty ambience. Spacious and cool rooms. Charming and very helpful staff.

The pool is pretty small with limited hours and you have to wear a swim cap to enter it.

Lovely view and location, very relaxing with great air conditioning, beautiful tiles in the room!

The pool was only open at certain times and needed to wear a hat if you had long hair, bar wasn’t the best stocked but staff did their best and we coped!

Super friendly staff and owner. Very willing to help with everything! They made breakfast for me on my last evening as I had to catch the early boat (didn't even had to ask). Nice pool, very clean and spacious rooms. Loved my stay over there.

Actually nothing

The view and pool were just amazing! We loved having our own terrace equipped with a hammock, chairs and a little salon table. This gave us some extra privacy when we wanted to have a glass of wine at our room.
