Hotel Principe di Salina

We had a really wonderful stay at Principe Di Salina. The hotel is small (14 rooms, including 2 suites) and beautiful. Every item has been carefully selected and the whole effect is to allow guests to feel at home in the most picturesque location. We stayed in one of the suites and the view from our huge terrace was magnificent, with Stromboli smoking away on the horizon and a 180 degree view of the sea. The room itself was large and comfortable, with terrific air conditioning (quiet and not too harsh). The shower is great (and very large). The infinity pool is delightful and the poolside cabanas are really comfortable - you can while away many hours reading and sunbathing! The pool bar is great - particularly the daily happy hour cocktails and the lunchtime casual meals. The evening dinners are wonderful - really beautifully selected and prepared food. You sit spaced out along a long communal dining table, so that you can chat to your neighbours if you choose to, or not if you don't. But the very best thing of all at the hotel is its staff. Every single member of staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, led by Anita, whose family owns and runs the hotel. It is a fantastic place to stay for a restful and luxurious holiday and we will definitely return in the future.

It’s hard to find the words to describe how incredible this trip was. From being met from the ferry by our driver and our incredible arrival at the hotel (by the owners)… and the view!!||The hospitality was exceptional; the incredible attention to detail, the delicious home-made traditional food (which was probably the best catered for as gluten-free anywhere I’ve stayed) the kindness, recommendations and guidance when exploring and booking restaurants, trips and tickets. The team led by Anita were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble.. ever and even the cloudy days were super relaxing and fun.||The hotel itself is homely, boutique-y yet super laid-back. The rooms are beautiful, yet simple and the hammock on the balcony was a lovely touch. In some ways it felt like staying in someone’s beautiful home - create creative, thoughtful and effortless. ||The location is so peaceful and the island is quiet and natural. We took a lovely walk up to the church and viewpoint, down to Malfa, ate at a couple of incredible restaurants nearby and took a ferry to Lipari.||Anita has created this blissful home from home with connection, relaxation and beauty in mind. The people that come to the hotel - all seem to ‘get it’. The main event here is the food (and the beautiful pool) - dining is beautifully designed around a communal table with space to dine with your partner/friends or to make new ones. For me this is the ethos of Principe. We’ve stayed in lots of beautiful places and this one stands out for the most incredible hospitality, it’s personal touches and the fact that you feel like a part of the family.||A really special stay and one that we will definitely be repeating and then not too distant future!

We had a wonderful stay at the Principe, truly one of the best hotels we’ve ever been to. Anita and Filippo have created a place full of joy, charm, and incredible attention to detail. It’s colorful and a little quirky, yet effortlessly classy. The shared dinner concept, with everyone seated at one long table, adds a unique touch. And don’t worry, it never feels awkward. You can connect with other guests if you’d like, but there’s no pressure at all. From day one, we felt completely relaxed. The food was outstanding, the views spectacular, and the entire team incredibly warm and welcoming.

Had originally booked to spend my 60th at Principe but along came Covid!! I finally got there this year and it was all I had wished for and more!!! Accommodation was lovely - understated but stylish, comfortable with a lovely view. Happy hour by the pool, beautiful staff, amazing food, communal dinners, wonderful pool to chill by, sadly I was there for just three days - next time it will be for longer. Lovely to meet Anita who is obviously passionate about her piece of paradise!!!

Anita and her team have created a very special place. Staying here feels as wonderful as their website promises. Lots of beautiful homely spaces to escape to and enjoy the sea breeze and soak up those wide sea vistas. The food is outstanding and the evening meals a great atmosphere. One day we will be back.

My wife and I returned to the Principe di Salina for the second time in a three year span. This second trip to Sicily involved new places and experiences except for the island of Salina and the Principe di Salina. We just had to come back! We travel regularly and this boutique hotel is one of our favorites anywhere. Its location perched on a hill in Malfa overlooking the sea and Stromboli is serene. The beautiful hotel is small and never feels crowded even though all rooms are always booked. The infinity pool is peaceful and has great food and beverage service. The dinners we had at the hotel were our best meals of our entire trip to Sicily not to mention the breakfast is delicious and bountiful. We love the way Anita makes you feel more like a friend than a guest. We love everything about Principe di Salina and hope to return again with friends and family so they can experience this special place.

My husband and I spent a glorious 8 night at this beautiful, peaceful and welcoming hotel! The rooms and many communal areas are furnished with such care, attention and style but with a very homely, relaxed vibe. |The staff are so welcoming and cannot do enough to ensure you have everything you need and always around with a smile and a friendly ear. Anita mingles with the guests and it is clear she takes great pride in the hotel.|The dinners on the long table with spectacular views are very good value for money and a chance to chat to other guests, but if you prefer to keep yourself to yourself you can do that too, no pressure, breakfasts are tasty and a very good selection of hot and cold, fresh food. And last but not least, the poolside cocktails and happy hour are not to be missed. |Be sure to wake up at least one day in time to see the sunrise from your balcony - stunning colours with a smoking Stromboli in the distance - wonderful!|We loved our first visit to the gorgeous island of Salina and are already planning our 2026 visit! Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Got back a week ago from 6 nights at Principe; we were two couples in their early 50s. This was easily one of our favourite getaways ever. Salina is amazing, and the hotel simply outstanding in its understated luxury, spectacular setting, and thoughtful design. Anita, the owner, is a constant and welcome presence, adding a personal, friendly touch to the meals and pool time. The long communal table for breakfasts and dinners, with the incredible view over Malfa to the sea and Stromboli, is an inspired touch. The food was great throughout, including lunches by the gorgeous pool, which also offers the same amazing views to the water and Stromboli. Anita and her team also played hosts to all of our adventures on Salina and beyond, recommending and reserving restaurants, setting us up with scooters for a day around the island, and hooking us up with a boat rental to explore around Salina one day and to Panarea and Stromboli another. Grazie mille, we'll be back!|Tal Gutstadt

Awesome hotel and staff on the beautiful island of Salina. We were welcomed immediately upon entering and were given a tour of the property. Only 12 rooms so guests get personalized attention. It has more of a Villa feel than a hotel. Like staying at someone's incredibly beautiful home. We arrived at lunch time and decided to have lunch at the hotel. Everything is homemade with fresh local ingredients even the beer is locally made. The pool is a nice size for swimming or just relaxing and looking at the mountains or sea. They also have a sulfer tub which nobody tried. It looked a bit scary. They have really cool covered lounge chairs with privacy netting. Exceptionally clean hotel. The owner takes a lot of pride in her hotel and it shows. She even designed every room. It has a Mediterranean look and feel. Very relaxing and comfortable. Rooms are a nice size with an outdoor balcony including a chair, table and hammock chair. They left us fresh flowers and chocolates as a welcome gift. Only downside is the town is down a hill and I think I made a wrong turn and it took us much longer to find the restaurant. If you walk there are stray dogs but they seem harmless, and we also bumped into a rat on a fence so just keep that in mind if wildlife bothers you. One other thing if you don't have a car transportation is expensive. Definitely a great place to spend a few days or a week just to relax in a peaceful, beautiful setting with a warm helpful staff.

Best place to stay on Salina. Peaceful and tranquil. The rooms are very simple but the location and setting are unbeatable. Upon booking we were offered a free boat trip around the island which was the highlight of our trip. This place is paradise.
