Unique panoramic house in Salina

No other house in Salina has such a stunning position as Casa Arturo. The house, rustic and simple in its furniture, boasts a panoramic terrace that offers a privileged view of the sea, of the beach of Punta Scario and of its 'faraglioni’.

Casa Arturo stands alone along the only path that leads to the beach of Punta Scario. The village of Malfa, with its shops, restaurants and cafe is within walking distance.

The house consists of 2 floors (tot. 90 m2) and has two entrances. A living room with a dining table, a bathroom with shower and a basic kitchen are on the ground floor.

An internal stairway leads to the first floor and onto two double bedrooms both with sea view. Please note that the access to the second bedroom is via the first bedroom and that the ceiling is low (2 meters).

Salina is the greenest and perhaps the most beautiful of the seven Aeolian Islands, and offers restaurants, beaches, villages and an authentic island life. Salina can be reached by ferry and hydrofoil from Sicily, Naples or Reggio Calabria. Milazzo (40 km west of Messina) is the main departure point for the Aeolian Islands. Ferries and hydrofoils leave daily and stop in several islands. It takes 1hr 30 minutes to reach Salina by hydrofoil and 3hr 40 minutes by ferry. In Salina ferries arrive in the harbours of Rinella or Santa Marina di Salina. Cars and mopeds can be rented here. It is possible to book a transfer with into Sicily from the harbour to the house (25 euro) and then rent a moped in Malfa. Please note that ferries are not always departing in the evening. Therefore we advice guests to book a flight that arrive early in Sicily or the day before the rental starts. The updated timetable is available on the website of the carriers companies.

Salina is home to a wide variety caves and submerged volcanic craters. It is the most fertile of the Aeolian Islands and famous for its capers and the sweet Malvasia wine. The island is not as crowded as Lipari or Volcano and less fashionable than Panarea, but boasts beautiful landscapes, excellent restaurants and shops. A bus service connects the villages and the most beautiful sites on the island. Cars and mopeds are available for rent in the main villages. There are excellent opportunities for walking. For example to Capofaro (lighthouse) that is set on the north coast of Salina and boasts stunning views of Panarea and Stromboli (on a clear night it can be possible to see its eruptions). The inactive volcanoes Monte Fossa delle Felci and Monte dei Porri gave the island its original Greek name 'Didyme' (meaning twins) The conical mountains are 965 and 860 metres high and provide excellent walking.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Scario Beach. The vacation home offers a kitchen and a fireplace.
  • The vacation home offers a kitchen, a fireplace, and a patio
  • Steps from Scario Beach and 10 minutes by foot from Malfa Harbour
This vacation home offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

Magical stay
We had the most wonderful holiday at Casa Arturo. The property will not be for everyone. But it was certainly for us. The proximity to the beach, the amazing sunset views, the easy access to fantastic restaurants and bars all made it the best holiday in a long while. It isn’t luxurious, you do get frequent visitors from those going to and from the beach who want to investigate the intriguing property but that is all part of its inherent charm. We absolutely love it and will do our best to come back. Thank you.

Still paradise
This was our fourth stay at Arturo, the last two years jettisoned at the hands of Covid. It’s every bit as special as it always was: perhaps more so with the recent upgrades to the bathroom and elsewhere around the house. A stylish bathroom fit out with bespoke shelves made by Simone make the place feel boutique hotel level, whilst the colourful furnishings carry through the house - Tiziana’s work I think! The main draw to this place is the location: an unparalleled view over Spiaggia da Scario and, given it’s orientation, unspoiled sunsets every evening. Sleeping to the sound of waves is incredible! Access isn’t easy, it’s true, so those with mobility or fitness issues may find it a little daunting. But so, so worth it. We have of course booked for 2023 because we’re not yet done with this idyllic place. I can’t see that we ever will be.

Casa Arturo is perched atop a cliff overlooking the most beautiful beach in Salina. It is simple but is everything we needed for an idyllic beach break. We would stay again!

STUNNING LOCATION
The most amazing location in Malfa! You definitely need to be in good physical health because groceries, car rental, restaurants + bars are about a 10-15 min steep uphill climb but so worth it. Honestly the best stay I've ever had, relaxing + serene. Beach house vibe with a beautifully renovated modern washroom, looks brand new. My only recommendation would be to have coffee available for guests. We arrived too late to pick up groceries, and coffee is a morning must have for me. Fabulous stay, highly recommend staying here.

Another stay in heavenly Salina...
So happy to be back on the little rock in Malfa. Our experience was very positive, and the team is extremely responsive to any issues that arise. We hope that the owners continue to invest in the house's maintenance (there are signs of aging since we last visited), but keep the rustic, authentic feel of the place. Only real downside was the hyper-colorful new "decor", which was definitely not suited to the natural beauty of the place. Less-is-more! Will always treasure out times here... Grazie!

Welcome To Paradise !
No words for the place. Peaceful, amazing, simple...we are close to the city center and...the beach. View is great and the location is quiet. Certainly one of the best area of Salina with warm and clear water. The only bad points...no door between the 2 rooms upstairs, the shower could be fully closed so water would not run on the floor. The shower drain was not clean. Make a reservation of your cab before arriving and confirm it. Our taxi Antonellao never show up !!!!

Utterly unique and special place (although extremely rough and ready and uncomfortable inside)
We had one of our most enjoyable holidays at Casa Arturo. The location is quite simply unbeatable. The house is perched on rocks overlooking a rocky beach and out to sea and has a perfect covered terrace on which we ate our meals or lay reading during the long days. The bedroom has a single window that looks out over beach and sea and our nights were soothed by the sound of the sea gently lapping onto the rocks below. The local town (on which this house is on the edge) is the most perfect small Italian village, with butcher, deli, bakery and small supermarket for all your needs. It also houses two 5-star hotels, one of which (Signum) has a Michelin-starred restaurant, well worth a visit. The island is covered in beautifully-maintained walking paths that climb to the top of the extinct volcanoes or go along the beautiful coastline. And from the beach you can hire canoes or inflatable beds on which to explore the coast or drift lazily in the hot sun. The main town, Santa Marina, is enchanting and from there you can wander around its charming streets, take boats to visit local islands or simply have lunch at one of restaurants or cafes. If you're looking for a very rustic getaway in a completely unique place, then you can't get better than this. The negatives (which didn't bother us at all): the inside is EXTREMELY rustic. The house is battered by the sea during winter months so there's no upholstered furniture inside. The inside downstairs is also very dark, so if the weather isn't good (which happened to us only once), it's not great spending time indoors. Personally, I wouldn't choose to stay here outside the summer months. Also, the main bedroom is accessed through the second bedroom and there's no door, so not ideal for two sets of adults. One more thing: the terrace is partially overlooked by the public footpath leading to the beach below, so you need to get used to that.

Seaside on the isle of Salina
We loved this house, overlooking Spiaggia Punto Scario on the edge of the town of Malfa. Incredible, uninterrupted views of the sea, and eastward views of the islands of Panarea and smoldering Stromboli. We loved sitting on the porch and enjoying a homemade lunch or dinner - or just sitting and looking out at the beautiful colors of the facing rock cliffs and surrounding sea. The sound of the waves at night lull you to sleep. We're already thinking about a return next year!

Traumhafte Lage!
Wir haben zu zweit zwei wunderschöne Wochen in Casa Arturo verbracht. Das Haus liegt einzigartig schön über dem Strand Punta Scario. Die Ausstattung lässt manchmal zu wünschen übrig: Besteck unvollständig, ein Stuhl war zerbrochen, verstopfter Duschabfluss usw. Die Sauberkeit ist nicht optimal. Die beiden Schlafzimmer sind lediglich durch einen Vorhang getrennt (keine Tür) Die Originalität, Schönheit und Lage des Hauses lässt über Manches hinwegsehen. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch Simone Sterio war phantastisch!!! Mille grazie per tutto, caro Simone! 👍😀 Wilfried Müller

Traumhaft
Die Lage des Hauses ist einmalig. Direkt am Meer, jeden Abend tolle Sonnenuntergänge. Am Strand eine nette Bar, mit freundlicher Bedienung. Glasklares Wasser, ideal auch zum Schnorcheln. Badeschuhe von Vorteil, da alles steinig. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, leider war der Kühlschrank, Backofen und das Geschirr nicht ganz so sauber von den Vormietern hinterlassen worden. Das Bad sah neu renoviert aus und das Wasser kam mit viel Druck, was in Italien nicht oft der Fall ist :) Am Anfang gab es Probleme mit dem WLAN, welche aber sofort behoben wurden und danach funktionierte dieses einwandfrei. Bei Problemen wird hier sofort geholfen, dies schätzten wir sehr. Wir haben dieses Objekt gebucht, da wir Ruhe und Erholung suchten. Dies konnten wir meistens geniessen. Da der Weg zum Strand aber seitlich am Haus vorbei führt, hat man oft unerwünschte Blicke auf die Terrasse. Mit einem einfachen Sichtschutz könnte man dies vermeiden. Es hat zwei Liegestühle auf der Terrasse und diese ist immer etwas windig, das war sehr angenehm. Wir schätzten die Nähe zum Dorf, dort hat es viele tolle Restaurants und Geschäfte. Für grössere Einkäufe benutzten wir jedoch unser Mietauto, da es doch steil hoch geht. Abschliessend war dies ein traumhafter Urlaub, die Lage des Hauses ist einfach atemberaubend und das ständige Rauschen des Meeres war für uns sehr beruhigend.

location da sogno, team gentilissimo, dotazioni della casa da rivedere
Decisamente unica la posizione, la vista e la casa in stile eoliano. Degna di nota la gentilezza del team. Tuttavia le dotazioni, quali stoviglie, mobilio e bagno, avrebbero bisogno di un sostanziale rinnovo non essendo al momento all'altezza alle aspettative.

Il mare alla finestra
La casa è situata su uno scoglio a pochissimi metri da una spiaggia di sassi. La vista è incantevole ed in generale se si ama il mare l’esperienza è molto emozionante. Il tragitto per raggiungerla tuttavia dalla strada principale è un po’ faticoso soprattutto con bagagli perché si deve percorrere una stradina di pietra in parte a gradoni. la casa è molto vivibile ed è attrezzata di tutto. La gestione è efficiente e l’agenzia è stata super gentile e reattiva alle nostre richieste. In generale stata una bella esperienza.

Wunderschöne Lage aber nichts für den Herbst
Das Haus ist wunderschön gelegen aber sehr wind- und wetterexponiert, was wir im Oktober sehr zu spüren bekommen haben. Die Terrasse konnten wir leider nur selten benutzen, da der Wind einfach zu stark geblasen hat. Bei starkem Regen sind die Fenster undicht und das Wasser läuft rein. Das Haus hat wenig Fenster und ist eher dunkel. Ausserdem war es - ich nenne es mal so - etwas geizig eingerichtet. Wir kauften Glühbirnen und einige Dinge für Küche und Haushalt dazu. Für zwei Wochen Aufenthalt haben wir viel zu wenig Hand- und gerade mal ein einziges Küchentuch erhalten - dies bei einem Haus ohne Waschmaschine. Wir haben dann von Hand gewaschen. Das Dorf Malfa hat uns sehr gut gefallen, es gibt gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Bars und Restaurants und auch im Herbst noch einigermassen gute Busverbindungen.
