Who loves to stay in Panarea in a charming and elegant atmosphere.

Descrizione

This wonderful villa on the island of Panarea - the most exclusive of the Aeolian archipelago - has been restored with great taste. The owner fell in love with both villa and island long before Panarea became fashionable, and can still recall the days when she had to throw big parties to use up any extra food, as her gas refrigerator wouldn’t keep things cold for more than a couple of days.
The villa has been restored using materials from Panarea itself, as would have been done in centuries past, and is in total harmony with its surroundings. Indeed Villadraut has appeared in many design magazines.
The villa is laid out over three floors. On the first floor there is a small apartment with an independent entrance, a bedroom and two bathrooms; on the second floor there is a living room, dining room and kitchen; on the third floor there is a bedroom – accessible both from the outside and from the inside through a very peculiar staircase.
Great attention has also been paid to the outdoor area: there is a large patio shadowed by a hundred-year-old olive tree, two large terraces with great views, and a sun terrace where you can sunbathe, cooled by the breeze from the sea.

Dintorni

Panarea – whose name comes from Panaraia (all disjointed) – is the smallest isle of the Aeolian islands: it’s 3,400 kmq large and it is 11,5 miles far from Lipari. It has always been very little populated and thanks to its remoteness and wonderful sea, it’s now the most loved isle in the archipelago. Some time ago, many people – who had arrived in Panarea as visitors – decided to buy land and ruins, which, once restored according to the local style – have made it the poshest isle in Sicily.
Its small size and little alleys - lighted only by torches - prevent cars to spoil the atmosphere, which is absolutely amazing.
Panarea is an exclusive isle and you can easily realize it watching the many huge yachts parked in the best spots – such as Cala Junco – and the helicopters landing strip.
Besides the gorgeous nature and the interesting architecture, Panarea has a great night life: high standard restaurants for the most exigent gourmets from all over the world, discos on the sea, exclusive shops. Once you come here, you’d like to stay forever!
