Hotel Signum is the epitome of laid back living combined with the most fabulous food in the Aeolian Islands.
Located in the small village of Malfa on Salina, the hotel is owner managed and run, by Clara and Michele, and there is a very relaxed and special homely atmosphere here.
The rooms here are elegant, very comfortable and spread out over several buildings accessed from the main building by a path through the gardens. Some of the rooms have ground floor terraces surrounded by fragant vegetation, others balconies with far reaching views and some with windows onto the breakfast area.
Fresh and healthy fine cuisine is served on the sweet shaded terrace and prepared for you by the chef Martina. Tasty salads, pasta, fish and meat, all sourced locally or from Sicily are the order of the day accompanied by some delicious local wines
and of course finishing with a heavenly dessert and then rounded off with the famous local sweet wine, Malvasia.
This restaurant is popular though and so best to book a table in the morning if you wish to dine there in the evening.
Breakfast is buffet style with eggs a la carte. Otherwise there is a pizzeria in town. Room service is available for both food and drinks.
The spa here is heavenly and well worth a visit, even offering their own line of products and specialising in geothermic water treatments.
There are even a range of 'self' treatments for which there is a small charge per treatment including Body Scrub, and Steam Bath. An impressive choice of massage is on offer including Hot Stone and Ayurvedic Treatments.
A location that UNESCO has claimed a world heritage site for providing "an outstanding record of volcanic island-building and destruction, and ongoing volcanic phenomena" it is sure to provoke excitement and curiosity. These seven islands (eight if you include the tiny Basiluzzo) just North of Sicily are an abundance of excitement waiting to happen; wonderful beaches, sea swimming, relaxation, walking, volcanic activity, museums and beautiful views are to name just a few things these unique islands have to offer.
Largely unspoilt by tourism and often overshadowed by larger Italian regions, the Aeolian islands are comprised of: Lipari, the largest of the islands and most populated; Salina, not overly developed for travellers but the most fertile and green of the islands with a lot of plantation; Vulcano, still active with a smoking main crater and hot springs, is famous for its mud baths - the walk up to the crater is very much advised; Filicudi, rocky coastal stretches and pebble beaches between a few small villages; Alicudi, very remote and secluded with one restaurant, although great for exploring if you want peace and quiet; Stromboli, perfect for hiring a boat and witnessing its beautiful eruptions by night; and Panarea, the most exclusive island more lively island and more fashionable and built up than the others.
The islands are perfect for a diverse and unique getaway, and exploring all of them individually is certainly advised.
