Hotel Signum

The Dozens of Newly-Added Key Hotels in Italy — Including Five New Three Keys

"I stayed in a former farming village turned into a classic Aeolian hideaway alive with the island’s colors and scents." - La Guida Michelin

The Best Hotels in Sicily | Condé Nast Traveler

"Clinging to Salina’s volcanic slopes and occupying the pretty bones of an old fishing village, Hotel Signum is a smart, understated retreat where Mediterranean sunshine filters through lemon trees, honeysuckle, and jasmine, animating chipped shutters and cast-iron furniture. Rooms evoke an 18th-century novelist’s bolthole with mahogany antiques and cut-work curtains, and terraces look across the Tyrrhenian to Panarea and Stromboli. Dinners—sea urchin with creamy mashed potatoes, breaded scabbardfish with tiger milk—showcase the island’s land-and-sea bounty and the wild creativity of Martina Caruso, the owner’s daughter and the youngest Italian chef to earn a Michelin star." - Rosalyn Wikeley

"Situated in the Aeolian Islands, this charming inn is home to young chef Martina Caruso who, having practically grown up here, has returned home to take up the reins at Signum after formative experiences elsewhere. Today, this young chef leads a team of nine in the kitchen, while her brother manages the charming hotel built to resemble a typical Aeolian hamlet. Martina knows exactly how to bring out the best of the vibrant ingredients sourced from the region, her own kitchen garden and the nearby sea – she allows the power of these ingredients to shine forth yet manages to make light and playful use of their intense flavours, showcasing their qualities instead of trying to hide them. Luca and cousin Raffaele enhance this gourmet experience with excellent wines (some home-produced), also available by the glass, and superb cocktails." - Michelin Inspector
