A small gem - just 12 rooms, very simple but with great attention to detail. The owners are very welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. Fantastic restaurant - highly recommended. One word of warning: Malfa is really very small but there is a good bus service from just outside the hotel, connecting you to the rest of the island and ferry. The beach at Lingua is better than Malfa's.

We stayed in June 2009 for four nights. It is a beautiful hotel with views towards Stromboli. The pool area is lovely but could do with a few parasols for shade as it was incredibly hot in June. The breakfast was ample but a little standard after some of the lovely other breakfasts we had enjoyed in Italy. The food in the restaurant is good but pricey and the portions a little meagre. There are, however, quite a few other restaurants within a short walking distance. The rooms are small and dark with the bathrooms being very pokey but we appreciated the outdoor terrace in the evening. We were, however, lucky enough not to have anyone staying in the room next door except for one evening when our balcony was far from private and sitting out wasn't so pleasant.
We loved our time on the island of Salina and enjoyed the hotel it aswas virtually empty and very quiet. As others have said the staff is good and helpful.
Salina is a gem and somewhere we fell in love with.

This hotel is a gem, I don't think you could do any better on the island of Salina. It is a simple building in the typical Aeolian architectural style, with broad covered outdoor areas, views of the sea framed by graceful white arches. It is meticulously maintained and beautifully decorated. The owners Gaetano and Sara speak some English, and provide the attentive service you would expect at a fine B&B. The hotel has only twelve rooms, each with a private terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. The rooms are a bit small and spare, as might be expected in a small European town, but were comfortable as a base to explore the island, with a private bath and satellite TV. Free wifi is provided in the hotel lobby. The dining area was in a broad covered patio with a sea view, and the included breakfast was ample. For dinner, the cuisine of the hotel's restaurant was of the very highest qualify, and included on the dessert menu was Malvasia wine from vineyards on the hotel's property. The hotel is situated at the top of the tiny town of Malfa, an easy walk down to its restaurants, shops, and spectacular stony beach. Malfa is halfway between the island's ports of Santa Marina Salina and Rinella, about 8 km (5 miles) to each. A bus service connects all the towns, but we elected to rent a scooter for the week.

this was my hidden gem hotel in the Entire Sicily
located on a cliff facing the ocean there are only 12 rooms all with ocean views
the lay out of that hotel is spectacular and it is really quiet
the rooms are basics but comfortable (you have to understand that in Italy and in a lot of europeen cities the mattresses are firmer)
every thing was perfect
What made also the perfect location is the extraordinary kindness of the staff
they organise every thing for you from car rental to visit etc.. always smiling talking with the guests ...a special thank to Gisele at the reception that was absolutely fantastic
we had dinner there which was delicious
Malfa little town center is just 5 minutes walk
a fantastic hotel in a beautiful location can't wait to go back
