stunning property. Took us quite a while to get to from the mainland though. Should allocate the majority of a day to travel in and out of there

The staff at the hotel was wonderful. The hotel is new and bright with a wonderful view of the island and the water. We were the only American staying at the hotel at that time and they made us feel at home. We did not speak Italian but that did not matter because the staff were able to speak English.... More

We´ve been in Principe from 18.06 - 22.06.11. A few words can´t describe the perfect small place consisting of 12 rooms, large facilities to chill out, lovely details and incredible cuisine. We call ourselfs "experienced travellers in Italy" since we´re going throughout the country from the north to the south since the last 16 years and we can say that... More

Hotel Principe is situated just outside Malfa as you approach from Santa Marina. Santa Marina is where the ferry/hydrofoil stops. It is only about 7km or so to Malfa, along a beautiful winding road overlooking the sea. If you want to get to Santa Marina you will need to get the regular buses or else take a scooter, which can...

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... More

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... More

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... More

I fell in love with the island of Salina and what a pleasure to stay at this wonderful hotel owned by the beautiful Sarah! I was the first guest of the season and had everything I needed. The place is gorgeous and the views of the island and the sea are amazing. The design and space is expertly designed for... More
