Hotel Signum

Beautiful hotel and situated on the side of small mountain top. Very nice people / staff. Hotel is well appointed and the food is excellent. Taxi drops you on the street and you wander for about 75 meters through a walled vicolo and enter into a small paradise. Would definitely come back. Old world meets new. Terrific.

Our room brought tears to my eyes! It was so beautiful with stunning, collectable Italian furniture, beautiful floor tiles, incredible sunrise views over Stromboli. The hotel had everything - the most amazing spa area that we discovered too late, super friendly and attentive staff, incredible Michelin and casual restaurants with the most amazing views. Lush gardens full of herbs, pomegranates, lemons, bergamots and a myriad of sitting areas, all with incredible views. A slight shabbyness which made it feel like you were in someone's old Italian villa. We were all devastated to be leaving after 3 nights. Just beautiful. Any negatives in the one or 2 star reviews we found completely unimportant if you are looking for an authentic, dreamy experience.

I can't fault the staff or facilities at Hotel Signum. I had booked it for a short weekend getaway with my girlfriend. My only regret is that I didn't book a longer stay.||The place is just magical. Individual rooms nestled between groves of lemon trees and flowers. The smells and sounds just exude relaxation and luxury. We had a great deluxe room which ofered some amazing terrace views out onto the coast. ||Along with the surroundings, I think the only only thing that makes the place more magical is the staff. Everyone from the front of house team to the waiting staff at breakfast and at the Michelin restaurant were so inviting, helpful and friendly.||I had been in touch with the Signum team prior to arriving on the trip as I wanted to propose to my girlfriend on Salina. They were so helpful with organising some nice touches and even liasing directly with the phtograpgher I had arranged to work out the best place to propose.||The only thing I would say is be mindful that it does take alot of time to get from the airport to the island and so factor that in. This isn't hidden on the hotel websitr, but I didn't fully appreciate it until closer to the time.

Food was good. However, I asked the server if we can get two glasses of wine. He did not ask me what kind of wine I wanted and said he will be right back. At the end of the night my bill came and turns out he charged me €98 per glass of wine. We had a total of 2 glasses. My meal alone was €500. The server took advantage of us and that's not right. I will not recommend this restaurant strictly because the server.

Very negative experience in the bistrot section of the restaurant. The restaurant is split in two sections. Both sections are managed by Michelin star rated Chef. We ordered two glasses of wine, and appetizer, and two meals. The appetizer arrived 30 minutes later and the l bread and wine was not delivered until after. In fact, we had to inquire about the wine and waited for another 10 minutes. Unfortunately, this was not the end of the problems. We waited for another 90 minutes until we had to go and ask about the meal. During the wait time, the waiter never stop by to talk to us. The waiter apologized explaining that they are very busy tonight. This was Tuesday night and the restaurant was 50% empty. The waiter apologize multiple times, but there was no good explanation and every other table was also waiting for the meal for the extended period of time. Eventually, the meal arrived. It tasted good and it was consistent with the bistro style. The prices, however, were very high (not bistrot prices): The average appetizer was €25-€30 and an average main corse was about €38. An average bottle of wine was above €80 including local wines. We paid €148 for one appetizer. Two main courses and 2 glasses of local wine. At this price levels, the service offered was completely unacceptable, shameful, and undeserving. There was absolutely no reason why the bistro section of the restaurant was let down entirely. I can only imagine how people felt if they chose this restaurant for a special occasion. At the table next to us people got tired of waiting and left without their meal. They were clearly very disappointed as well. If you are considering this restaurant for your memorable meal, please look somewhere else. If you are considering to go for the Michelin star section of this restaurant, I would not go there either unless you like this type of service.

We were so impressed by Signum on our most recent trip to Salina. Whilst we weren’t staying at the Hotel, we had the opportunity to visit the bar/restaurant a handful of times. We found the staff to be incredibly warm and generous, making us feel right at home. We’d also like to extend a special thank you to Josephina and Raffael for their kindness, for taking the time to share stories about the wines and the history of the islands, and for being so thoughtful and welcoming — especially with our little ones. The food was delicious, and locally sourced which is a huge plus! We can’t wait to come back and actually stay at the hotel next time. Grazie!

Our family of four had an incredible and relaxing stay at Hotel Signum.||Our room was beautifully decorated and spacious, perfect for our family of four. It overlooked the beautiful hotel pool and had a private terrace where we could enjoy meals and relax, taking in the amazing views.||We made daily use of the hotel pool and on-site spa. The spa has various plunge pools to enjoy, including a natural spring water pool and a hot and cold plunge pool. I would highly recommend booking the hotels spa package.||Breakfast each morning was a highlight for our hungry teenagers, who enjoyed a variety of fresh local pastries. The cannoli and pancakes were a big hit.||The hotel restaurant is lovely serving fresh local produce, we enjoyed many family dinners and glasses of Grillo on the terrace.||Another highlight of our stay was a visit to a local winery and caper farm, which was organized through the hotel. We really enjoyed these experiences as they gave our family an insight into the local culture and cuisine.||The staff at the hotel were so friendly and attentive, making our stay truly memorable. A special thanks to Giulio, Graziana, Luca, Rafele, Josephine and Natasha who made us feel right at home.||We can’t wait to go back!

Perfect hotel for a couple, family, or solo travel. Beautiful grounds that immerse you in the gorgeous landscape. Excellent food, drink and service. Pool is stunning with views of the ocean. Walk to the beach with path from hotel. Spa with multiple jacuzzis. We had spa and breakfasts upgrade, I suggests doing this. The town Malfa is classy and peaceful. Very small town, with a delicious cafe- Irish Cafe. Walking distance to the port. The hotel arranged a private boat tour, group boat tour, and a few cabs. Thank you to Emanuela for your service. Other staff to thank are Luca, Josephine and the breakfast staff. We are from NYC and we loved getting out of the hustle and bustle, on a quiet italian island. Unbeatable views, peace, tranquility and good food. This is definitely best choice of hotel on the Aeolian Islands. I suggest 4-5 nights minimum.

My husband and I visited Sicily in July 2022 for our honeymoon and stayed three nights at Hotel Signum. On the last evening of our stay, 28 July, we dined at Signum. We both had the nine course tasting menu and wine pairing. There was a couple sitting two tables away from us whose baby cried loudly during nearly the entire duration of our meal (seven of the nine courses) and the restaurant management did nothing to intervene. Several other patrons were staring at the couple and their baby and were clearly upset by the noise. By the fifth course, I tried to flag down a man who appeared to be the manager to speak with him about the issue but he instead sent the sommelier to speak with me. When she came over I said no, I would like to speak with him. He never came to our table but proceeded to make the rounds at others', pouring wine and chatting. When a woman (presumably the chef Martina Caruso) came to our table later on to ask how everything is, I told her that the food and wine were wonderful but a baby had been crying for the past hour and a half and that I had requested to speak to the manager and he never came. She smiled and responded "but the baby is not crying now, is he?" (to be clear the baby did resume its crying following her snide remark). Understanding that Michelin awards stars based on a restaurant's cuisine and not service, I am nevertheless aghast that Signum was awarded a Michelin star as, in our experience, the poor management of the restaurant prevented us from enjoying the food. (To be clear, our server, the sommelier and the bus people were all lovely - management is the issue here). My husband and I have dined at over a dozen restaurants with at least one Michelin star, from Café China to Epicure, and we have never experienced such abominable management and general disregard for patrons' experience.

Full on gourmet meal. Get the four course tasting menu with wine pairing. Phenomenal. A special evening
