Hotel Ravesi

Top choice in Salina


Star attractions at this peach of a family-run hotel beside Malfa's town square include the delightful grassy lounge and bar area and the outdoor deck with infinity pool overlooking Panarea, Stromboli and the Mediterranean. Sea views are especially nice from corner room 12 upstairs and from the two brand-new honeymoon suites with antique furniture, decorative tiles and private terraces.

Signora Ravesi herself still oversees preparation of the delicious homemade bar snacks for the sunset aperitivi hour, along with fresh-made jams at breakfast time from the fruit trees in the hotel garden.
