My review is for the Spa specifically. I was not a guest at the signum hotel, which looks as though…read moreit might be lovely, nor did I dine at the restaurant which has a Michelin star and some mixed reviews... But while I was staying in Malfa, I did go to the spa, both to use the spa facilities - the waters and steam room and for a scrub treatment. When I arrived, the woman at the desk, handed me a towel for the waters and just pointed me outside. I found a bathroom to change into my swimsuit, but there was no place for my belongings to be stored so I just left them on a chair by the front desk area. Nobody showed me nor was there any Guide posted as to how to use the baths in any particular order- the hot and cold plunge were in a back corner and if I hadn't been wandering around, I wouldn't have even known they were there. The Spa area has potential to be really amazing, but it was pretty rundown looking. There was a bar in the middle, which looks as though it might be able to offer drinks, but nobody was there to provide them. The three main pools seemed lukewarm to cool in temperature. I am not quite sure what the properties of each pool was or if there was an order to use them, there are jets in several of the pools if you know where the button is to turn them on, they run for about three minutes at a time. Essentially, I do not recommend using the water facilities- it definitely didn't seem to be worth the €50 it cost. The treatment I had at the Spa was the salt caper, honey olive oil scrub.-it was really relaxing and enjoyable. There was not much direction after the treatment. Other than that I could rinse off in the shower in the treatment room. When I left the facility, I had rinsed off with water to get the salt and capers off me, but I still had oil and honey in my hair and needed to go back to my hotel to shower. I would definitely do the scrub treatment again, but would skip the waters in the current condition they're in. It's really a shame because the area has so much potential to be a beautiful and relaxing wellness retreat..

Awesome hotel and staff on the beautiful island of Salina. We were welcomed immediately upon…read moreentering and were given a tour of the property. Only 12 rooms so guests get personalized attention. It has more of a Villa feel than a hotel. Like staying at someone's incredibly beautiful home. We arrived at lunch time and decided to have lunch at the hotel. Everything is homemade with fresh local ingredients even the beer is locally made. The pool is a nice size for swimming or just relaxing and looking at the mountains or sea. They also have a sulfer tub which nobody tried. It looked a bit scary. They have really cool covered lounge chairs with privacy netting. Exceptionally clean hotel. The owner takes a lot of pride in her hotel and it shows. She even designed every room. It has a Mediterranean look and feel. Very relaxing and comfortable. Rooms are a nice size with an outdoor balcony including a chair, table and hammock chair. They left us fresh flowers and chocolates as a welcome gift. Only downside is the town is down a hill and I think I made a wrong turn and it took us much longer to find the restaurant. If you walk there are stray dogs but they seem harmless, and we also bumped into a rat on a fence so just keep that in mind if wildlife bothers you. One other thing if you don't have a car transportation is expensive. Definitely a great place to spend a few days or a week just to relax in a peaceful, beautiful setting with a warm helpful staff.

Best place to stay on Salina. Peaceful and tranquil. The…read morerooms are very simple but the location and setting are unbeatable. Upon booking we were offered a free boat trip around the island which was the highlight of our trip. This place is paradise.

My husband and I visited Sicily in July 2022 for our honeymoon and stayed three nights at Hotel…read moreSignum. On the last evening of our stay, 28 July, we dined at Signum. We both had the nine course tasting menu and wine pairing. There was a couple sitting two tables away from us whose baby cried loudly during nearly the entire duration of our meal (seven of the nine courses) and the restaurant management did nothing to intervene. Several other patrons were staring at the couple and their baby and were clearly upset by the noise. By the fifth course, I tried to flag down a man who appeared to be the manager to speak with him about the issue but he instead sent the sommelier to speak with me. When she came over I said no, I would like to speak with him. He never came to our table but proceeded to make the rounds at others', pouring wine and chatting. When a woman (presumably the chef Martina Caruso) came to our table later on to ask how everything is, I told her that the food and wine were wonderful but a baby had been crying for the past hour and a half and that I had requested to speak to the manager and he never came. She smiled and responded "but the baby is not crying now, is he?" (to be clear the baby did resume its crying following her snide remark). Understanding that Michelin awards stars based on a restaurant's cuisine and not service, I am nevertheless aghast that Signum was awarded a Michelin star as, in our experience, the poor management of the restaurant prevented us from enjoying the food. (To be clear, our server, the sommelier and the bus people were all lovely - management is the issue here). My husband and I have dined at over a dozen restaurants with at least one Michelin star, from Café China to Epicure, and we have never experienced such abominable management and general disregard for patrons' experience.

I had such a nice stay in Il Delfino that I came back twice during the same vacation…read more Il Delfino not only has excellent food, especially fish and pasta, but also offers acommodation. Some rooms are on top of the restaurant, some are in a very nice and quiet backyard building. Both types of rooms are very spacious, absolutely well-kept, modern and friendly. The bed-sheats are comfortable and good quality, the matresses new. Honestly, of about 12 B&Bs that I saw between Cefalu and Stromboli this was the one I liked most and felt most at home. I got along very well with the owners and staff, they are helpful, friendly and they have the cutest dog, Twist.
