Lampedusa is an island which lives by and for the sea. It's therefore no surprise that all the best hotels offer day trips by boat to various destinations in the area. Hotels are open from May to October.

Il Gattopardo

This hotel takes its name from local author Tomasi's novel. It has 11 rooms and 3 suites and is located on Cala Creta. The prices are high and the clientele VIP, but the atmosphere itself is quite informal though the setting is perhaps a bit Spartan -- no TV, no telephones in the rooms, no credit cards accepted and no guests under 18. Daily boat excursions are scheduled with a lavish lunch on board; 6 Citroen Meharis are at the disposal of hotel guests.
