Tenuta di Castellaro Winery & Resort

$$ | Via Caolino s/n, Lipari, 98055, Italy

Driven by their passion for wine and the island of Lipari, the visionary Lentsch family decided to embark on a project of great scale beginning in 2006 (spanning 2,000 square meters) ending with the beautiful and unique result that you see today: three micro-residences designed with the most modern amenities and plant technologies in keeping with full respect of nature. Everything on this property is eco-friendly (solar chimneys, a wind tower, and thermal labyrinth to name a few) and features primarily local products, an external lava stone pool, and a patio completely immersed within the vineyard. This is slow Sicilian living to the utmost degree. 

Pros

  • Full immersion of nature and serenity with the most incredible views of all of the islands
  • Sustainable property
  • Secluded private outdoor patios and baths overlook the vineyards

Cons

  • In the countryside hamlet of Quattropani (7 km [4.5 miles] from Lipari port)
  • If you want to explore the city center you will need a car or a taxi
  • No formal restaurant on-site

Therasia Resort Sea & Spa

$$$ | Vulcanello, Vulcano, 98050, Italy

The only five-star hotel on the island, this dramatically situated resort excels at the concept of Italian benessere (well-being) with a spa that uses salt water in their treatments. Opt for a massage outside overlooking the sea. Four on-site bars and restaurants (including one vegetarian option and two with one Michelin star) mean that you can fully relax into vacation mode and never leave the property.

Pros

  • Spectacular sunset views over Lipari
  • On-site vegetarian restaurant, one of very few in the region
  • Excellent spa

Cons

  • Needs updating
  • Michelin-starred restaurant only open at dinner (no option for day-trippers)
  • Live music at sunset detracts from natural beauty
