"Perched above the sea on Salina in the Aeolian Islands, this remote wine resort—run by the Tasca family under SOStain sustainability principles—feels like a cinematic getaway surrounded by Malvasia vineyards. White, cube-shaped rooms echo Aeolian minimalism and open onto terraces where guests can sip chilled whites while watching Stromboli’s nightly fireworks. The main house offers garden-inspired cocktails and rustic-chic Sicilian specialties, making the property an elegant, design-forward base for wine tasting and island exploration." - Lauren Mowery
"This Relais & Chateau property is both a vineyard and a seaside retreat. Located in a quiet corner of verdant Salina, the standalone rooms are set up like a small private village, so guests have their own private abode among the vines." - Travel + Leisure Editors
