Quartara Boutique Hotel

The place is pure magic. They deliver exactly what you see un their pictures. The warmth and ultra kind attention is unique. They care of every detail, everything you need is delivered kindly. They also have amazing recommendations for dinner and lunch. #1 place in Panarea.

We treated ourselves to a one night stay here, as we were travelling back to the mainland from Stromboli. We had a double room with partial sea view from the small balcony. The room was absolutely spotless, and the bathroom & shower were amazing. Lovely products in the bathroom. All the staff here are so lovely, and the service from being collected from the port to checking out was amazing. Breakfast was excellent, staff super attentive. This is the kind of place where nothing is too much trouble. The food in the restaurant Broccia was delicious, the crispy shrimp in their thin and crispy coating were some of the best shrimp I have ever had! The restaurant at night was really nice because it’s quiet and off the beaten track a little bit, although Panarea is quite tiny so also not far from anything. We also both had a massage in the late afternoon, i think it was the oiliest massage i have ever had, but really nice! The view from the roof terrace is beautiful in the evening, although the rooms on the roof were unoccupied when we stayed, i am not sure how residents of those rooms would feel about sharing their view! Wonderful stay, would recommend a stay here for sure.

Quartara is a very well managed boutique property on Panarea and the best and most elegant choice for a hotel on lovely Panarea. The owner Maria is at the hotel each day to ensure things are done right and done well. The staff are lovely. We booked the room top terrace room with which you have access to the roof top terrace with dipping pool (a life saver in hot hot July). There are two rooms on the roof top terrace. Room 2 is the better room of the two with a dresser, chest of drawers and double doors that you can look out all the way to the ocean. Room 1 is a single door only and in my view not as nice. The hotel is located close to town but far away enough for us not to be bothered by the bustling port front nightlife at Raya and the Bridge or Lisca Bianca. We were picked up in a golf cart type vehicle right where we got off the Liberty ferry (don’t bring a lot of luggage) and driven two minutes to the hotel. Matteo made excellent drinks! Try his version of the spritz. The food we had was good for breakfast lunch and dinner. Maria the owner arranged for a sunset private boat tour of Stromboli with Danilo (who made the boat as well) - this is a must do. Panarea is a very special island and place in the world and we found Quartara to be its gem. Maria is absolutely lovely and an attentive business owner who cares about taking care of her guests. The hotel is beautiful and ornately appointed with pieces of furniture and decorations Maria handpicked herself from all over the world. We highly recommend this property without reservation for Panarea.
