Barbara's house on Panarea is a perfect retreat! We had a wonderful experience before and during our stay. Communication was easy and Barbara was very responsive at all the right times. It was our first time to Panarea and so we we're so familiar with the way the island runs...Barbara's instructions and availability via message as we arrived made things easy! She arranged transport for us from the port, which was great. The house itself is in a wonderful location, situated about halfway between the port and a little sandy beach, and very near a trattoria if you don't feel like cooking but don't want to walk into town. The house has a classic beach house vibe, the view from the roof terrace is beautiful and peaceful, and the many different outdoor seating options (on two levels!) for lounging and cooking all enhanced our experience. Thank you Barbara! We'll be back.
