Hotel Ravesi, Salina
Experience the true flavour of the Aeolian Islands at this traditional 3-star family-run boutique hotel. Comprising a cluster of typically low-rise Aeolian style buildings, set amidst the greenery of the hills, the hotel overlooks lush gardens that spill down the hillside to the sea.
With magnificent views over Panarea and Stromboli, and a heavenly infinity pool, the Hotel Ravesi is an idyllic retreat from the frenetic pace of daily life.
TRADITIONAL CHARM & HOSPITALITY
Simply furnished with ancient timber beams, terracotta floors and lava stone walls, all rooms and apartments have a balcony or traditional Aeolian style covered terrace, with a garden view or mesmerising views of the sea.
But it’s the hospitality and passion for Salina that sets this hotel apart, evidenced in the warmest of welcomes, the intimate atmosphere and the love that’s poured into the cakes prepared each day by Signora Ravesi.
AT A GLANCE
- 16 rooms and apartments

HIGHLIGHTS
Prickly pears, pear and fig trees, from which jam is made for breakfast, fill the gardens which are suffused by a heady mix of scents thanks to fragrant clumps of lavender, mint, oregano, sage and lemongrass. And in the heart of this is a stunning infinity pool with striking sea views.
LOCATION
Hotel Ravesi has an enviable location, close to the shops, bar, restaurants in the sleepy village of Malfa. Punta Scario beach is 10 minutes away on foot. Nearby attractions include the magical bay of Pollara, the backdrop to Il Postino, or, on the other side of the island, the village of Lingua which is home to the celebrated ‘Da Alfredo’ restaurant, the best spot for a refreshing granita.
There are around 8 ferries from Milazzo (Sicily) to Salina per day, arriving at the main port of Santa Marina (20 minutes’ drive from Punta Scario).
