Hotel Principe di Salina

Based on the good reviews, we knew we were in for a wonderful stay but this place surpassed all our expectations. It is adults only so very peaceful and relaxing. It is small and truly stylishly designed. It has the perfect blend of a luxurious and welcoming vibe. It is a place were you can truly unwind, soak up the beautiful views and enjoy first class hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly and everything runs smoothly. One last thing worth mentioning is the fantastic cocktails. A very memorable experience. Thank you

My husband and I chose Principe for our stay on Salina during our honeymoon. We were blown away and can confidently say this is our favorite hotel we have ever stayed at. Right when you walk in you will be mesmerized by the stunning view, but this is just the beginning. The food, service, rooms, everything is fantastic. The rooms are well appointed in a rustic luxury style, and the terraces are phenomenal, with the perfect hammock to take naps in. We highly recommend staying for dinners (we ate most of ours here and have zero regrets). One of the highlights is the pool area. We easily got a cabana bed everyday, and the bar staff is great. The staff also provided countless recommendations and went above and beyond helping us coordinate our itinerary. Definitely reach out to them for recommendations for boat tours, wineries, or anything else you want to do on the island. Overall, we had such a lovely stay and this resort is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing, romantic and memorable getaway. Thank you Principe staff!!

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.

Principe di Salina was the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home thanks to Anita, the incredible owner. She is onsite, warm, and genuinely cares for every guest. Her presence sets the tone for the whole property – welcoming, calm, and full of heart.|The hotel itself is stunning: beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, and with breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding islands. The atmosphere is intimate and peaceful, yet never pretentious. It attracts kind, thoughtful guests, which only added to the sense of community and ease.|Food was another highlight – fresh, flavorful, and presented with such care. Meals on the terrace were unforgettable, with views that made every breakfast and dinner feel special.|What stood out most, though, was how natural and unforced the hospitality felt. Nothing was too much trouble, yet everything was relaxed. By the end of our stay, we felt less like hotel guests and more like part of Anita’s extended family.|If you’re looking for a place that combines beauty, comfort, and true Sicilian warmth, look no further. Principe di Salina is an absolute gem, and we can’t wait to return.

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.

A hotel of this caliber is rare - stunning location, wonderfully designed with clean, comfortable rooms, and Anita & team immediately make you feel like family. The group dinner was delicious and a genuinely special experience as well. Can't recommend this place enough and you must book if you have the opportunity (stay on the waitlist if they're booked already).

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.

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.
