Super-helpful host, excellent breakfast, incredible views…

Nothing

The hotel has a fabulous situation on the shore, separated from the pebble beach only by a low-rise little house, and planned on multiple levels so all face the sea. It’s conveniently situated at the quiet end of the main street, so restaurants and bars are nearby. It’s a pleasant walk from the ferry (700 m along the seaside promenade). Our room was perfectly clean and comfortable and spacious. It looked out across the sea over roofs of those below which were being scrubbed and whitewashed for the summer. (In May, we were almost the only guests). The view was idyllic, taking in Lipari with Panarea and Stromboli in the distance, very quiet in the evening. We made ourselves wake up early each morning to watch the dawn coming and sunrise reflecting in the sea. The hotel is very much the personal establishment of the wonderful proprietor Angela, who ensures that it’s all excellent. She was very welcoming and hospitable, going out of her way to be helpful. And she provided an excellent buffet breakfast every morning, in an airy dining room with view over the sea. As long as one of the party can speak some Italian, this is the perfect place to stay.

Nothing at all.

This was a wonderful place. We had a very nice room with a little balcony and a panoramic view of the sea, Stromboli and Panarea. It was immaculate. There are several terraces. You can always find sun or shade. The delicious breakfast was served in a room with a view in all directions. The hotel has a great location on the edge of town. Completely quiet except for the sounds of the sea but an easy 10 minute walk along the water from the ferry. The host was very friendly and helpful. We wish we could have stayed longer.

The peaceful location and the view from the room, the sun terraces and the very helpful host.

it’s at the edge of town so very quiet, yet a short walk into town. swimming was close by but beware of slippery rocks and concrete! The pebble beach is much better. Angela was awesome and so helpful.

We would have loved some shade on the expansive terrace as it was too hot to use during the day.

The owner is a very friendly person. Although our very poor Italian we were using all possible resources to communicate and it worked! The room was spacious and cleaned, and the bed was very comfortable. We got a room with an amazing view on two other island stromboli and panaera and could watch the small Vulcan eruptions at night. The breakfast was tasty, there were som elocal products as well as fruits that were growing in the garden (tasty mango). We liked the place.

Traveling around Sicily we got used to have a buffet breakfast with self service. In Punta Barone the owner was staying next to buffet and was giving us what we wanted. We felt a bit limited and not that comfortable. But take note that it could be a hygiene corona concept.

Angela is delightful, the view is breathtaking and the island is magic. Totally recommend

Punta Barone is a fantastic hotel, we loved our room with a beautiful view on Stromboli and Panarea. We woke up in the morning to see the sunrise in front of our window and in the evening we sat down on the long chairs on the terrace to feel the breeze. Angela (the owner) is lovely and gave us all info, she was there all the time we need it. We really love this place!
