Hotel Mea - Aeolian Charme

When googling places to stay from Canada on an island in Sicily you never know what to expect and when we arrived and took our first steps into Hotel Mea to our last steps leaving this outstanding hotel continued to absolutely amaze us with their beautiful stunning room, view of the pool, the sparkling water of the clean pool, the friendly helpful service of the staff with such professionalism. I could go on and on about why I recommend booking this hotel and a trip to Lipari just to stay here but I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking. :) Thank you so very much Hotel Mea and staff, you are all so very amazing.

Really enjoyed our stay here very much indeed. Why? Beautifully designed to get the most out of the view and weather Lovely pool and seating area Good restaurant Very clean Staff were all very friendly and efficient What didn’t I like? Wasn’t mad keen on our balcony. Lovely views, but our room connected to the one next door and so the balconies were separated only by a couple of plants, so not very private. I would definitely return, but ask for a private balcony with the fabulous sea view (not all rooms have this, but those that don’t are surrounded by hedges and plants Also, in May there is a wonderful Jasmine scent throughout the hotel.

This is a historic property in a not so historic area. My family spent two days in this place. We were concerned when we were coming close to the hotel because we did not realize that is in the outskirts of Siracusa, in an area filled with non-impressive apartment buildings. However, when we entered the property, we were pleasantly surprised. The grounds are beautiful and the hotel is an historic building with a lot of character. Our room and its decoration were very impressive. The hotel has a restaurant about which we didn't care much. The meal we ate from them was mediocre, at best. The included breakfast is very good, with a lot of choices. There is a pool that looked very nice but we did not use it because we were busy visiting Ortigia. By the way, you need a car to go to Ortigia from this hotel or rely on public transportation. Overall, we had a good time and definitely would go back to this hotel.

A lovely hotel in a great location. The staff were so good, especially the girls on reception. Lovely pool area overlooking the bay, plenty of sun loungers! We had a nice airy room/suite on the top floor with a large balcony with great views across the bay. Our room was always spotless due to the first class job done by the cleaning team. A great hotel.

We loved the walking distance to the main area in Lipari, the pool and the dining discounts. The staff was so very kind and helpful. Our room had a very large terrace and the bed was comfortable.

Excellent hotel, very comfortable and clean. It has lovely views from the rooms and restaurant. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom clean and tidy. Very grateful for air conditioning as it was so hot when we were there. The pool area is beautiful with a jacuzzi and lovely plants and an infinity edge. It was 10 minutes walk into town but not a great area to walk through really - the other side of Lipari is better. The restaurant was great and it served a really nice breakfast with lots of choice and the evening meal that we had was excellent. The staff were lovely and so helpful, especially the lady who helped us book a ferry boat in a hurry when a storm was forecast! Great experience and would love to come back sometime.

Last minute booking due to cancelled ferry and staff could not have been more helpful. Beautiful hotel and location, lovely food including fabulous breakfast and very comfortable room. Highly recommended for a stay in Lipari.

The property is in a great location, walking distance to the town. Maria at the front desk was very helpful. We loved the room with the sea view and the large terrace was great to sit on in the afternoon and enjoy a glass of wine. Great selection for Breakfast, Pool was lovely. Would recommend this hotel

Lovely pleasant hotel with gorgeous view over the bay. Just a 5-minute walk from the main street with restaurants. Room was modern with Sicilian charm. Wasn't big but the balcony certainly was. I think it has been recently refurbished. Good breakfast though on one day the eggs were cold! Pleasant pool area of a decent size but heavily chlorinated. Again, stunning views. We felt very welcome here.
