Suite
A light airy suite with sea views from your terrace, located on the highest floor of our main house. No compromises here – our open space Suite comes with a super-king bed, a lounge area and a large private terrace perfect for morning coffees or evening wines with a priceless view.
Your sea-view bedroom
From the moment you step into one of Principe di Salina's fourteen rooms, you'll be charmed by the magic of Sicily. Warm, welcoming colours, locally-made furnishings, and rustic white touches are at the heart of these intimate accommodations.
Top Floor
Our Top Floor rooms are located on the high level of the Principe. Elegantly appointed features a private terrace looking at the Aeolian Sea where you can relax on a comfy armchair, kick back in a hammock, and soak up the stunning sunrises and sunsets, with Stromboli and Panarea on the horizon.
Superior
Our Superior rooms are nestled in the Mediterranean garden and they have a frontal sea view. A perfect nest for two, each room is elegantly appointed and features a private terrace looking at the Aeolian Sea, where you can unwind at the end of the day among the Sicilian perfumes.
Garden-Sea
Be charmed with warm, delicate colours, and locally-made touches of your Garden-Sea room. Step out onto your terrace and drink in the scents and colours of the Mediterranean, drifts of Rosemary, brilliant bougainvillaea and the sapphire horizon.
Food & Tradition
The Principe is a place outside of the ordinary, where the dinners cooked by the mum chef Silvana are convivial, the juices are freshly pressed, and you can feel at home in relaxing luxury lounges areas.
A new way of living, cooking, eating and, mostly, where to enjoy life to the fullest. Together. Welcome home.
Our Family
When they ask us why we started the Principe di Salina, we stop and laugh. Because the truth is we have no clue how this random idea came to our mind in 2016.
Everything began an unusual grey sky day in Salina, in February, under the rain. We all had international career-driven lives but a common dream: create a home where to welcome everyone in Salina.
Morning
Mornings at Principe begin slowly, we heat the coffee machine and play our favourite "Buongiorno" playlist.
Freshly baked sourdough bread perfume all over our main house, Sicilian brioche and a list of à la carte savoury & sweet breakfast options for you to indulge in.
Day Time
Lay on the comfy pool bed, and grab a fresh-squeezed juice. Or a cocktail.
Our pool area provides the perfect space to fully let go and relax. Enjoy the water, the sun, and be close enough to refill your Aperol spritz while ordering a lunch bowl. Pure bliss.
Evening
Feast on fresh, local island ingredients turned into sumptuous Sicilian dishes created by our wonderful chef. Fill your glass with one of our recommended Sicilian wines.
At Principe, we believe there’s nothing quite like family-style dinners with good food, filled glasses and nice conversation. We'll pass with the Limoncello.
Infinity Pool
For complete relaxation, lay in one of our large pool lounges. Then, a quick dip in the pool to switch off the rest of the world.
Cooking Class
Silvana can walk you through her most famous recipes and teaches you (some of) her secrets [currently on hold]
Pool Bar
Standing right next to your sun lounge - with à la carte menu for tasting all the local dishes, fresh juices and cocktails.
Dinner
The best memories are made around the table. We serve our food family-style to the centre, and we change the menu daily to focus on fresh seasonal ingredients.
