Hotel Signum

Idyllic bougainvillea-clad escape in the Aeolian Isles

A clutch of rural buildings make up Signum. Vivid blues and sun-bleached whites add to that feeling of Mediterranean ecapism, while tumbling jasmine and bougainvillea add vibrant splashes of colour.

Activities

See & Do
This is a place to chill rather than sight-see. Once you have soaked up the rays around the pool you can go for a dip in the Med, walking down a spectacular mountain path on steps hewn out the rock wall to a little secluded rock beach below.  The hotel are happy to organise picmics and boat excursions around Salina and the neighbouring islands, so pack your swimmies.

Diving is readily available, and Salina's clear waters are great for snorkelling. Guides will walk you up one of the island's mountains for great views of its wild untamed seascapes. The local charming little of Malfa is sleepy with a capital "S", with a couple of churches and several bars.

Spa
Hotel Signum's Spa uses the island's mineral-rich geothermic waters for its menu of body and beauty treatments. Make time for a massage or cleansing body scrub.

Diary Dates
