Authentic in spirit, but reassuringly contemporary in terms of comfort, Hiera offers guests the perfect base from which to explore one of Italy’s most fascinating but least visited islands: a pebble’s throw from the beach, a gentle meander to a series of excellent trattorie, and a short stroll from the start of the walking paths that circumnavigate and scale Marettimo’s mountainous interior. If you’re in need of a rest after all that exploring, you can relax in Hiera’s al fresco roof-top tub, looking out to sea and counting your blessings.

An illustration of a guest book

The island is amazing, it offers everything but without the confusion of other locations. Hiera is simply over the top in terms of the quality of the house. Everything is provided, everything, so you could travel there just with your clothes.

Andrea Clerici August 2023

Hiera is a lovely holiday home, well kept and comfortable. The view from the roof terrace is lovey.

HE, United Kingdom September 2022

Hiera is lovely, in particular the roof terrace. The views from the kitchen are amazingly distracting! Marettimo is wonderful! We loved the fact that everything was within walking distance -- not having to get into a car for a whole week was amazingly liberating and relaxing.

TS, United Kingdom July 2022

Loved Hiera…. It is what I expected, a little apartment on a small Sicilian island. Very clean, updated, comfortable.

Mrs Shelly Steinhaus, United States of America October 2021

We really loved Hiera with its rooftop and the harbour view.

MD, United Kingdom October 2021

Hiera was beautiful and the housekeeper was lovely. The roof terrace was a real bonus and many happy hours were spent in the plunge pool with a book. The location was perfect: right next to Tramontana, possibly the most popular cafe on the island, and perched just above the harbour.
