Venue Setting

Welcome to the boutique Hotel Principe di Salina, the jewel of Salina Island, in the heart of the Aeolian Islands. The breathtaking views of Stromboli, Panarea and the limitless Aeolian Sea set the tone for your stay - an oasis of refinement in a rugged natural setting. A luxurious refuge to return to after a day spent exploring all the islands have to offer.

The boutique Hotel Principe di Salina was built in 2005 to take advantage of the tranquil beauty of Salina, the most luxuriant, green island of the Aeolian archipelago. Nestled among the vineyards of malvasìa (local sweet vine), this charming boutique hotel was designed in the traditional Aeolian style influenced by Sicily invasions during history.

It is the ideal setting for your holidays, weddings, events and celebrations, with manicured grounds including an indoor living area with computer, libraries and fireplace, extra spacious terraces and solarium and the outstanding restaurant “della casa” that allows you to dine intimately, or cater your gathering.

Each of the 12 is elegantly appointed and features a private terrace overlooking the picturesque landscape and sea. Luxe amenities, boutique hospitality and classic Sicilian touches welcome you, and the infinity pool and geothermal spa tub transport you to pure bliss.

A holiday at Principe di Salina is far from ordinary. And will bring you closer to those you love.

Venue Features
Design:

The hotel offers twelve rooms all with private terrace, a restaurant for the guests, extensive common areas, an infinity pool, and a natural hot spring Jacuzzi with sulfuric water. The buildings is developed in four levels to follow the mountain downhill and it has in the middle the big infinity pool with the view of Paranea and Stromboli.

The building is developed across four stories to reflect the downhill of the mountain and it has the big infinity in the mid level to delight the view of Paranea and Stromboli.
For the outside areas, we use neutral colours such as white to compliment the magical colours of the island that surrounds the hotel; the sensational light blue Sicilian sky, the mesmerizing black volcanic rocks, the luscious green of the Malvasia Vineyard of our garden and the deep blue Mediterranean sea. The large spacious common areas provide an area where the guests can enjoy the Mediterranean sea view. The living area has large windows, sofas and fireplaces. The lounge area boasts relaxing day beds where you can fully kick back and relax.

The restaurant terrace has tables available only for the hotel guests for them to enjoy a private luxury dining experience.

The decoration is inspired by Sicilian traditions and its multicultural history, using island’s old objects, traditional mural shelves and colourful pillows, carpets lanterns and pots. We have intertwined the decoration with objects from around the world to represent that family’s passion for travel!
