Eat & Drink

Dining in
Dining is an absolute pleasure in the Quartara's Broccia restaurant, where you can gaze out to sea while biting into cuttlefish ink spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes and wild mint, and other creative Mediterranean dishes rustled up by chef Daniela Cappelli. It doesn't get much more romantic than this.

Breakfast
Buffet breakfast is served until 11am

Room service
Available morning and evening.

Activities

See & Do
Explore the island for starters: there are a few wonderful little beaches (though you'll probably swim straight from the rocks too) and viewpoints like the Calcara ridge, where there are spectacular views of volcanic Stromboli, the next island. Hire a boat and swim or snorkel from some of the offshore islets, or take a sunset cruise and snap the brilliant  volcanic eruptions from neighbouring Stromboli.
