Hotel Ravesi

Hotel ravesi is truly a gem. What makes the hotel stand out is their attention to small details, their kindness and warm hospitality. Location-wise, they are just a few steps to the main square in malfa surrounded by a variety of lovely restaurants. You can sense that the hotel is run by a family who is dedicated to making their staff and guests feel like they are a part of their own. They have a wonderful staff who are incredibly helpful and thoughtful. The evening wine tasting with Ricardo is not to be missed neither is the apertivo hour ( particularly on DJ nights). Hotel Ravesi is one of my favourite hotels I have stayed at and I cannot wait to come back to it.

Such a wonderful stay at Hotel Ravesi! The breakfast was absolutely amazing, and we loved relaxing by the pool while watching stunning sunsets with cocktails in hand. The team was so warm and friendly, with exceptional customer service – a special shout-out to Luce. We will definitely be back!

What an amazing hotel with excellent and helpful staff. The surroundings were of great quality and the food sensational. We had 4 lovely nights with a boat trip to Stromboli. That was a highlight. Mrs Ravesi home cooked meals beautiful and it was fabulous to meet her. Topped it off with a book launch with Ros Belford followed by a wine tasting. Beaches weren’t too far and lots of fun.

This whole week felt like I was in a dream. The hotel, from the room with outdoor terrace, the wonderful reception staff, service staff through to the boat staff, is just incredible! The views are enough to make you just want to lay back and take them in all day and night. I was very fortunate that 2 opportunities came up to join in shared boat trips, one around the Island and one for a sunset tour. Both were fantastic with lots of ocean swimming, drinks and food. The team also let me know each day what was happening around the hotel and I also enjoyed my Cocktail Making class - perfect way to end the day making and then drinking 4 cocktails!

A truly special place. The Ravesi family is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is magical.. from the lush garden to the infinity pool with a stunning sea view. Everything is spotless and beautifully curated. You can enjoy breakfast, light lunches, aperitivo, and dinner made with local produce, much of it from their own garden. Cocktails are fantastic, and the wine bar offers daily tastings of excellent Sicilian and local wines. It’s also a great base to explore Salina, with their electric scooters and e-bikes, getting around is super easy. Can’t wait to go back!

Just come home from ten days at Hotel Ravesi. What a treat it was! Salina is a gorgeous unspoilt simple island, The humidity keeps the flora and fauna green and opulent, despite the lovely hot weather. You can see the whole island in a day on a scooter if you choose, although there is not a huge amount to see apart from the authentic small townships which are still (thankfully) untouched by commercialism. The hotel is beautiful with superlative service. The (numerous) staff are unfailingly polite, respectful, gracious and helpful. Our room (No.17) was spotless and well maintained, as is the rest of the hotel with some lovely communal areas to eat and relax in. I'm a bit surprised they don't have a restaurant for dinner but there are several very close by. The breakfast selection is wonderful with many cakes, tarts and flans baked by the owner herself. Our room had a fridge and a lovely terrace with views over the sea and the sun most of the day. A small supermarket five minutes up the road meant we could eat and drink on our terrace when we chose to 'self-cater'. The infinity pool is wonderful and there were enough sun beds even though we understand the hotel was full. It's a bit of a mission to get to but the staff could honestly not have been more helpful in helping us to arrange our transport from Catania airport. The photo's on line do not do the hotel justice in my opinion. Thoroughly recommended (and we're fussy!).

A truly special place. From customer service (Thank you Nadia and Lucy) to impeccable gardens this hotel feels like a little bit of paradise. It was an absolute joy to spend a few days here. This place is one of the few places that exceeds the Instagram hype. The breakfast’s here are amazing. We will be back. For my privacy stay in the apartments. If you would like to fully experience the hotel and the gardens stay in the main building. This place is a rare “can’t miss” location.

We had a short but very Beautiful stay. The staff was super attentive and friendly. The rooms and amenities were beautiful - it really feels like you're staying in the family home instead of a hotel. Highly recommend and will come back to visit again! The staff shared the history and the family story behind this hotel which made it even more personal and enjoyable.
