We were very excited about staying at the capofaro having read the amazing reviews... 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

There's not much else I can add, other than to say that this resort is something special, and this has more to do with the staff and the surroundings than anything else. The setting is spectacular and we liked the very minimalist rooms and bathrooms. Everything was spotlessly clean, especially the pool and surrounding lawns which were hosed down every... More

We stayed at the hotel for one night and this was supposed to be the highlight of our week long stay in Sicily. The resort is very beautiful and isolated. However, the room we stayed in had no windows and the shower had a very strong smell of mold which spread into the entire room. We tried our best to... More

Dear Customer, We are very sorry also because this year is the first time we criticize the rooms and service. I would only make a single objection concerns the wine. We are producers of wine from 1830 and is really very important for us. Capofaro is a resort in the middle of the vineyard and our customers can experience all... More

We stay at the Capofaro Resort on the island of Salina in June 2011. We had a taxi take us to the hotel on the day we arrived. We were greeted by the friendly staff. There are one story bungalows on this property. The room was spacious with a shower. All the bungalows have a full view of the islands... More

I don't know what else can be said about Capofaro We just spent 4 days of our honeymoon here and were actually bummed to leave to go to Sicily! While the natural setting of place is phenomenal, the level of hospitality and quality of food was top notch. From the always accomodating reception staff to the knowledeable, non-intrusive restaurant staff,... More

We spent 3 nights of our honeymoon at Capofaro. The resort sits along the water between the comunis of Santa Marina and Malfa and that is what makes it special. It truly is one of those resorts you see featured in a travel magazine and think, 'it must feel you have your own corner of the world there". You do.... More
