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.

Absolutely loved our 4 nights at Hotel Principe de Salina. The owner and manager Anita is constantly present and the attention to guest service is amazing. The food, the team and location were perfect. I would have no hesitation recommending this hotel and island to anyone. I have been to a number of Greek Islands - Milos, Paros, Crete and this would be my pick. I loved the hotel supplied electric scooter to get around to each little village. Loved each area which were all different - Malfa, Rinella, Santa Marina and Pollero all worth the visit. Also loved our hike up Monte Fossa. The recommendations provided by Anita and Donna were superb - Grazie Mille

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

Beautiful setting, great view, luxurious pool/bar area sized just right, nicely decorated and furnished room, and fabulous staff. My wife and I were there for 3 nights last week and really enjoyed Malfa and the hotel. We are already planning our return for 2026 - thank you, Anita!

I have never stayed at a hotel like it food Delicious staff Devine ambience extraordinarily exceptional. The staff couldn’t do enough for you so hospitable. Unpretentious and yet so smart and sophisticated. A very long journey but well worth it

To stay here is to feel well cared for. Good sleep is critical for any holiday, and this hotel provided a quiet environment, comfortable bed and exquisite sheets. Daily service wasn’t simply neatened sheets and new towels, but walk around barefoot kind of clean. The food was such that we did what we have never done before, eaten dinner at the establishment every night of our visit. The decor and surroundings are stunning, and the staff made me feel like family. I don’t know when we’ll return, but I know we will.

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.
