I have been meaning to get around to writing a review for Capofaro for several years now, because I am always remembering it with happiness. I'm not sure why it took me so long to put pen to paper. I must admit that my experience of Capofaro might not be typical. We still had no accommodation on Salinas as our... More

It is worth undertaking the long trip to arrive on the island of Salina, usually encompassing a plane to Catania, a bus or private driver to the port of Messina and a hydrofoil to the islands. Once you arrive at Capofaro you are immediately exported to another dimension. The hotel complex is situated among a malvasia sweet wine vinyard jutting... More

Good rooms, good pool and a good restaurant but it is a bit out of the way - you can not walk out of it and be in the main street so you tend to stick around a lot of the time which can get boring. You can use it as a basis for tours of the island - Salinas... More

We stayed as part of our honeymoon on the Aeolian islands - we stayed at two other hotels as well. We had a pleasant 4 night stay and found the reception staff and manager to be charming, efficient, helpful and professional. They helped us organise taxis and boat trips and really couldn't have been more helpful. We enjoyed being in... More

It was absolutely awful!!!our room was a standard room and was literally a white washed box with walls so thin that we could hear the couple to the left having sex and the couple to the right arguing!!the balconies are always in the shade and separated...

We had a fantastic stay at Capofaro as part of our honeymoon. It was exactly what we were looking for -- a secluded, peaceful, and relaxing resort in a beautiful setting. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and quaint. Staff at the resort were amazing -- we had such a great time talking to everyone there, and they were all just... More

Overall, Capofaro is beautiful. The setting is spectacular and we had an enjoyable stay but there were a couple of things that grated, certainly for a 5 star hotel. The main one for me was the bed which was arguably the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in! The mattress was super firm (we had to request blankets on... More

The island of Salina is a very special place which is effortlessly cool and typically Italian. We arrived at Capofaro and couldn't believe how lucky we were to have found this beatifully located boutique hotel. The staff gave us a warm welcome and were extremely helpful throughout our stay, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is situated on a... More
