    Beautiful, peaceful oasis of a hotel on a wonderful island. Very tastefully decorated with lots of period features. Lovely and helpful staff. Short walk to the harbour where the ferry docks. Fabulous food at the hotel restaurant. Sea view from our room. I hope we get to come back one day- we have loved every minute of our stay.

    Really nice boutique hotel walking distance to the port. In a wonderful old house with spacious rooms and high ceilings. Nice breakfast in the garden. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. I have been to Salina several times in the past and this was my favorite stay.

    The bed mattress was a tiny bit uncomfortable, could do perhaps a mattress topper to make it softer. Very minor detail though.

    Beautiful decor, fabulous location with a view of the sea from the balcony and a 5 minute walk to jump in, the restaurant at the hotel was very good, and also the restaurants close by. Above all, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had a blissful stay.

    The rooms are nice but simple - it didn't feel like the best value for money

    Very good location, and nicely styled room. We booked last minute due to a ferry cancellation and the staff could not be kinder or more helpful. The restaurant, which is part of the hotel, is excellent - our favourite on the island.

    - Garden/ backyard could use some (serious) maintenance/ gardening - Lobby/ hotel bar was often closed, so not really possible to spend a (hot) afternoon in the hotel or garden given staff was not around - Lots of noise from the restaurant until midnight - Mediocre light in the hotel room - Reception was in a separate room so not much interaction with staff during our stay (sometimes we had a bit of a ‚self-service‘ feeling)

    Great location and vibe with a very good restaurant on the front side of the hotel Friendly staff

    Best hotel on the Eolian Islands!

    Best place to stay on the Eolian Islands!! The hotel is cute, very aesthetic, everything has a history but has been renovated. You have a beautiful view from your room and their garden is beautiful also. I recommend testing their restaurant, we had a lovely dinner and everything was super tasty. Great selection of eolian wines.

    Can't think of anything!

    We loved the room, comfortable and spacious, the view over the seaside and then islands, the rural style focused on emphasizing through single items the eolian house. Staff is amiable and attentive, rooms and overall structure are very clean and newly done. We had a perfect stay and this place made our holiday a cherished memory. The boutique hotel also features a small restaurant which has the same style as the hotel, food is genuine, local and well presented, bossa Nova music in the background, it makes a perfect spot for a lovely dinner in the summer. Highly recommend.

    Had an amazing time, our window was non existent which was a bummer but overall had a beautiful stay

    Our room didn't have a view at all in the sense that our only window was tiny and we couldn't look out the window at all. This was the biggest problem for me. I would have loved a tour of the property first and a hot breakfast would be ideal. Maybe beach towels would be good too?

    The hotel was GORGEOUS! Location was awesome, staff was amazing (really really kind and attentive) and the setting was great! We loved our stay, and having dinner there was awesome.

    An elegant, charming and historical base in the Aeolian islands.

    Considering the standard of everything else, we felt the breakfasts could do with an upgrade. It felt a little bit parsimonious, and unimaginative. We know what they can do in the kitchen in the evenings, just a little bit of that touch in the morning would be the icing on the cake.

    The room was incredible, spacious, tastefully and beautifully restored, with lots of original and quirky features, it feels like you are a part of history, but the room is still super comfortable. The aspect of the room is east facing, so opening the Juliette balcony at sunrise is a special moment. There is also an original hole in the wall which has been preserved, casting a shaft of light in from sunrise (don’t worry, it’s behind a frame of glass). The staff are helpful, friendly and accessible. The restaurant is superb, with delicious food and superb wines at reasonable prices. We were served by the owner of the whole establishment, he is very warm, friendly and knowledgeable.
