The rooms are clean, comfortable. The grounds are beautiful with the well maintained gardens full of plants and fragrant flowers.
The restaurant serves delicious food, staff friendly and helpful .
The island is worth exploring but once you arrive at this hotel, you just want to spend your days here .

Heaven, simply just heaven!
The minute we walked in hotel Ravesi, we felt like we wanted to stay forever! The reception we received from Nadia was so heartwarming, it felt like meeting a friend. Within 5 minutes we decided we wanted to stay a second night and Nadia found a way to make it happen for us.
The hotel grounds are gorgeous, the rooms are super comfortable, the showers are amazing, the cocktails, the food… everything is perfection. And then you've got the pool, with that view… just spectacular!!
But most of all, the staff are the heart of the hotel.
Take the boat tour offered by the hotel, it is such a treat. Michael was a wonderful captain and tour guide, we loved every minute of it.
If you're looking to stay on Salina, you must book Hotel Ravesi.

Premium Hotel of the Aeolian Islands

This is the best hotel we've stayed in anywhere. The room was spacious, cooled, humidified, and beautifully furnished. The staff is, without exception, skilled, devoted, and attentive to all needs. Our room was surrounded by a gorgeous garden. The infinity pool is wonderful. Breakfast is at a reasonable cost [first one is free] and the drinks at happy hour are excellent. The staff said that improvements are scheduled for this winter which include two new rooms and some infrastructure changes to the garden path. If you go to the Aeolian Islands, stay here!

Review from solo, female non-white American: the views, gardens, history, and the pride that the people who work there take in all of that are the biggest perks. Great location too and bottom line I’d go back. Cons (I’m being picky because it’s pricey, so service should match): The breakfast buffet was very awkward. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a single woman or because I arrived late but though it’s advertised as a buffet, a man was standing there who helped me plate everything. It was very odd. I had to tell him each and everything I wanted and he would arrange separate plates for me. Either be a table service or be a buffet, you can’t try to be both. It was very strange and made me very uncomfortable. The infinity pool is beautiful but NOT warm as promised. It is as cold as any regular pool is. I would recommend that they have somebody clean the pool because there were lots of leaves and bugs on top of the pool. Either get a better filter system or have somebody skim the pool frequently. The shower was the smallest shower I have ever had in my entire life.

Brilliant - best hotel ever?

Pretty convinced this is the best hotel on the island. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. The seaside view, the spectacular service, the infinity pool, the delicious food, and the magical qualities of the property are just unbeatable. If you want a magical low key vacation, this is the place to go. You can’t find a better, more dedicated staff that serves from the heart.

Stunning gardens beautifully maintained - hats off to the gardener. Great pool - small and only a few loungers but again beautiful. Accommodation let’s this place down. Old, musty smell and not worth £180 per night. Real shame - if they only upgraded their rooms to match the condition of the exterior.

The view

The view was beautiful. Looking out ot our door or window there was a beautiful infinity pool with the sea in the background. Perfect place for relaxing, but not a lot to do in the immediate area. The seaport, if you wanted to take a bus or taxi had a little shopping or in the alternativ, if you are comfortable you could rent a scooter or take a boat ride.

Superb Experience at this Exceptional Hotel!

From the moment we arrived at the Hotel Ravesi on Salina Island until our departure, we were completely impressed and inspired. The grounds are spectacular, with jasmine filling the air and gardens that delight everywhere you look. Our room was very comfortable, great beds and good shower. Nadia and Elena took very good care of us while we were there, they made excellent recommendations, including places to go, restaurants, what to buy for gifts, and they ordered our taxis to and from Santa Marina port.

There are buses that take passengers to various towns on Salina. We enjoyed this transit and seeing other parts of this beautiful green island.

The breakfast included a variety of tasty foods, warmly attended by Fredrica. The Hotel Ravesi aperativo time in the evenings, with freshly made original cocktails prepared by the charming Daniele, and unbelievably delicious spreads and other foods to sample, was a highlight.

We had nothing less than a spectacular time at La Signora Carla's Hotel Ravesi. We give this hotel, and the lovely island of Salina, the highest recommendation!!

Perfect, relaxing experience with an amazing view.

We spent almost three days (our entire stay in Salina) beside the pool and in the garden at Hotel Ravesi. A perfect place for relaxing, reading a book by the pool or just looking out at the view of the Mediterranean sea with Stromboli in the background in one direction or the volcanoes of Salina in the other direction.

We met another guest who told us they had been there 6 days and it wasn't enough - we thought she was exaggerating, but she wasn't. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly, good at English (we are bad at Italian), particularly Elena who was at the front desk to welcome us.

The hotel provides breakfast with homemade cakes and marmalades by the hotel's owner and some nibbles in the evening for aperitif. There is also a low key bar with an excellent bartender - using ingredients from the hotel's gardens in the drinks.

The location is in the centre of Malfa, and walking distance from the cafes and restaurants.

The room itself is the least exciting thing about the hotel (but you will not want to spend any time there considering what you can do outside!), simple, clean, good bed and good shower pressure. We had a standard room.

Overall - highly recommended hotel. We're already wondering when we can come back.

Perfect stay in paradise

What a hotel! Unfortunately we had only booked 3 nights and left wanting to stay longer. The hotel is very close to the bus stop and town square, very convenient for buses around the island, snacks and meals. Our room was simple but comfortable. The surrounding gardens are beautiful with several seating areas for quiet times along with lounges around the pool, framed by Stromboli smoking in the distance. Breakfast was delicious and the complimentary evening buffet featured home made dishes along with gracious service and an excellent range of (purchased) wines, beers and cocktails. Overall air of relaxation; nothing pretentious just friendly, relaxed hospitality. We cannot praise the Ravesi highly enough, one of our top hotels on many trips to Italy.

So tranquil , it was very difficult to leave

I can't rate this hotel highly enough. At Ravesi there is the most beautiful infinity pool with panoramic views that are gobsmacking. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful and the customer service in the office was the best I have experienced in the Aeolian islands. The rooms were simple but beautiful and the location of the hotel is in the centre of Malfia. It is easy to walk to the Malvasia vineyards or walk to have sunset appertivo’s at santa Isabel. If you are looking for a clam and tranquil place to stay, this is it.

Ravesi exceeded expectations! An easy bus ride from the hydrofoil dropped us off in malfa about 2 buildings down from the hotel. Perfect for relaxing with an easy bus ride to the other parts of the island just steps away from the front door. The view of the pool appears to cascade into the ocean, with views of Stromboli and Lipari in the distance-can't beat it! Breakfast is elegant on the backyard porch. The staff could not have been more helpful to us. The ristorante next door has the best pasta in town! Don't miss the spa, also right around the corner through an enchanting and bright alley way.

Great place for a relaxing stay

This is a very comfortable hotel, and excellent value. Clean, simple and elegant rooms that open onto well kept gardens. The location of the pool is excellent, and the village provides all that you need. There is an excellent bus service to help you get around the island, the only disadvantage being that it is not close to the departure point for most boat trips (some do leave locally - so get the right one!). It would be nice to have better wifi internet connectivity (LAN only in the rooms), and some international channels on the TV, but if your aim is to get away from it all, that is not such a big deal...

Hotel Ravesi - the perfect honeymoon hotel!

We really have nothing bad to say about this hotel; the staff are friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean, very comfortable, idealy situated for walking around the local area and accessing local transport. At the time we visited it was quiet, which we really appreciated as we were on our honeymoon and wanted to relax. The views and scenery even from rooms without a direct view of the sea are wonderful and the breakfasts had a good variety of options, all of them very tasty. The pool is great too and most of the time we had it to ourselves. We were really glad that we chose to spend our honeymoon at this hotel - it was friendly, understated, quiet, homely and is now a very special place for us that we hope to go back to again and again.

Hote Ravesi in Malfa - Beautiful

My wife and I just returned from a 3 night stay at the beautiful Hotel Ravesi. The room was comfortable (even though we had the smallest room - \"Superior Room\"), the pool was gorgeous, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and helpful (especially Guiliana). The location was also excellent - we saw the other (4 & 5 star) hotels in Malfa, but they were relatively far away from the main piazza (and bus stop) and the rest of the town. Ravesi is literally next to the main church and the central piazza and all the cafes and restaurants in Malfa. This makes it easy to get to other parts of the island since you're close to the bus stop and the scooter rental places. Finally, the infinity pool is gorgeous and the area surrounding the pool is comfortable and relaxing.

Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to other travelers to the island of Salina.

Good choice in lovely little Malfa

The staff are nice and helpful. Breakfast is good, basic continental style (fruit, cereal, croissants, cold cuts). Free internet LAN in room and wifi if you can pick it up in the common areas. Lovely view from the pretty garden and a nice pool. Good value for money.
You can reach the place by bus but the bus schedule is not reliable. A good way to get around Salina is by rented motorbike. We ate in the pizzeria that is attached and it was good, especially since it was easy.
We were told we were upgraded to a deluxe (From the superior that we booked). It was room 8, next to the breakfast room. The room was spacious, clean and tasteful, with a great outside seating area and a view, but inside was a little too spartan in furnishings. We were there in April and the room was chilly. The bathroom was nice. There is a minibar.

Unser Aufenthalt im Hotel Ravesi auf Salina war das absolute Highlight unserer Sizilien-Rundreise – kein anderes Hotel hat uns so begeistert.

Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön, extrem gepflegt und strahlt sofort Ruhe und Wohlfühlatmosphäre aus. Besonders außergewöhnlich ist aber das Team: unglaublich aufmerksam, herzlich und mitdenkenden. Ein schönes Beispiel: Der Zimmerservice bemerkte, dass unsere Kofferbank zu klein war, und brachte uns ungefragt eine zweite vorbei. Genau solche Details machen echten Spitzenservice aus.

Ein weiteres Highlight war das Wine Tasting mit Gabriele. Die Weinauswahl, das Food Pairing und die Leidenschaft dahinter waren einfach großartig. Auch der Poolbereich war trotz vieler Gäste immer entspannt, und man bekam jederzeit problemlos eine Liege.

Besonders gefreut hat uns, dass wir spontan das Frühstück testen durften. Die hausgemachten Marmeladen der Chefin sind fantastisch, das gesamte Buffet war hochwertig und liebevoll angerichtet. Hätten wir unsere Wanderungen anders geplant, hätten wir dort jeden Morgen gefrühstückt.

Auch organisatorisch war das Team extrem hilfsbereit, z. B. bei der Taxi-Organisation oder der Möglichkeit, Fahrten mit anderen Gästen zu teilen.

Kleine Kritikpunkte: Die E-Bikes fanden wir mit 40 € pro Tag etwas teuer und nicht mehr ganz modern. Außerdem sind Speisen und Getränke im Hotel preislich höher als auf der restlichen Insel – angesichts des Services aber nachvollziehbar. Der Check-out um 10 Uhr war auch recht früh.
