A sophisticated gem, ready to be enjoyed, in the heart of Panarea

Casa Paola is located in San Pietro, on the island of Panarea, one of the seven islands of the Aeolian archipelago. With an area of approximately 3.5 square kilometres, Panarea is the smallest of the Aeolian Islands. It lies north-east of Salina and Lipari, around 30 kilometres from Stromboli, while the marina of Milazzo is approximately 65 kilometres away. Panarea belongs to the municipality of Lipari, in the province of Messina. San Pietro, Drautto and Ditella are the three main districts of the island. San Pietro is home to the island centre, with its boutiques, bars and restaurants, as well as the landing pier. In the southern part of the island, not far from the Church of San Pietro, lies the district of Drautto. Just behind the settlement is Cala degli Zimmari, one of Panarea’s most renowned beaches. From here, a path leads to Punta Milazzese, where the remains of a prehistoric village can be found. An ancient trail then continues to Cala Junco, known as one of the most beautiful coves in the entire archipelago: a natural amphitheatre of rocks surrounding an impressive natural pool. Off the coast of Panarea lie the islets of Basiluzzo, Spinazzola, Lisca Bianca, Dattilo, Bottaro, Lisca Nera, Panarelli and Formiche, which, together with the active volcano of Stromboli, create a truly enchanting atmosphere. The island also has a heliport and can be reached by ferry, hydrofoil or private yacht.
