Hotel Signum

I honestly dislike writing bad reviews but I don’t want another traveler to feel the way we felt. Signum has incredible marketing, professional photos, amazing content creators.. that being said never had we felt more catfished.. for the reputation and the price we expected much more, we were barely greeted when we arrived, not shown a tour of the property, we were left to figure things out on our own. The room was dated, the sheets felt like sandpaper, the pool was average, not very refreshing. The spa was dated, many of the features/baths/ Steam room did not function, etc. The grounds were in a sad state, the hotel at one point must have been classy and historic, you can tell it must have been elegant in its day. Something must have happened, I feel bad for the hotel and hope they can resurrect what they once had. On a positive note the hotel can learn alot from the hospitality of Graziana , she was the highlight of the stay and the hotel front desk girl from Napoli was so friendly and helpful. But I can say the rest of the staff felt so cold and barely paid any attention to you, they acted entitled.. the setting of the Michelin restaurant is awkward that hotel guests walk through from the pool and the better views are reserved for the other restaurant. We left this hotel early and we are glad we did. Salina is special Sadly this hotel doesn’t match the vibe. I don’t want to promote another hotel but the hospitality we were shown right next door was incredible

Friendly, corteous staff, spacious, cozy rooms with beautiful views, delicious food and amazing spa pools and treatments.

Spectacular gardens and views. Truly the nicest staff and people. The food and drinks are delectable. The accommodations were at the highest level. So peaceful and private. Welcoming like you’re in someone’s home. Unbelievable experience!!

I can't recommend Hotel Signum in Salina highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly balances chic luxury with genuine hospitality. The magnificent views and breathtaking landscapes surrounding the hotel are nothing short of stunning; every window feels like a postcard. Our room was beautifully designed—spacious, stylish, and filled with thoughtful details that made our stay feel extra special. The breakfast was delicious, featuring fresh, local ingredients that set a perfect tone for the day. But the dining experience was truly out of this world; each meal was a culinary delight that showcased the best of Sicilian cuisine. A special shoutout to Laura, who was indispensable throughout our stay. She accommodated every request with grace and even organized a surprise for my wife’s birthday, making it a day we will never forget. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring that we felt taken care of from start to finish. Hotel Signum is a rare gem that leaves you wanting to return time and again. It’s a place where luxury meets warmth, and every moment is infused with care. Don’t miss the chance to experience this enchanting hotel!

Pleasant stay. Easy transfer from port. Room was a touch small as was the TV. food is very good. Service excellent. Perhaps a little more anti mosquito measures like nets on windows and doors would be nice, also some measures at dinner also.

Everything about this hotel is amazing. I highly recommend this hotel. Beautiful hotel, inside, outside, amazing views, and great design. Very good staff. Very good food & cocktails. Amazing reception and service.

Lovely hotel! Beautiful location and atmosphere. Service was great, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the vineyard restaurant and it was delicious!

The hotel is a gem on the island of Salina - first of all it’s an “Albergo Diffuso” ie. each room is in a separate building and each of them create a small village. The building is beautifully integrated with Nature: when walking around you can smell scents from different plants including capers plants. Service was great and amenities well worth the price of the room - special mention to the SPA (we got a free entry pass thanks to the Expedia VIP program!), the rentable electric motorbikes and the salt water pool. Also, it is not mentioned on the profile but the hotel is home to the only Michelin star restaurant of the Aeolian islands (1 Michelin star) - make sure you reserve a table well in advance, it’s a must do experience and it’s very popular across the island. As an area of improvement I would recommend the hotel to work on the guests’ wow effect and stop milking guests at all costs - the bar is uselessly pricey (bar menu prices are super high with no real justification - eg. €7 for a coke) and we were expecting some free refreshments / fruits by the pool available for guests - this is what you expect from such signature gourmet hotels (is it so expensive to offer complimentary water by the pool or fresh sliced fruit?). Overall a great property with few major areas of improvement that can be easily fixed by management. The best in Salina!

This is a fantastic restaurant, but the food is where all the focus is. The hotel is no good. The food & restaurant service was incredible, we would eat there again & again without hesitation. I wouldn’t stay in the hotel though. The check in was odd, we weren’t shown around the property at all, just to the room. It was unclear how food and drink services worked when you weren’t fine dining. There was a pool drinks menu but no means of ordering anything on it. It turned out you had to wander around (in swim/beach clothes) until you found someone working in the restaurant. Similarly if you wanted lunch (bistro style food) taking a break from time around the pool you were seated alongside people eating a 7 course tasting menu, very odd. The other main issue was the comfort of the furniture. The pool sun loungers were the most uncomfortable I have ever used & it was the same for the room terrace furniture. It wasn’t possible to relax on it, we had to fashion our own seating area using our room cushions. I expect much more from a hotel that charges me a room rate of £300 a night. The spa is lovely, facilities are very nice. Again the only let down was the service. We asked simply about spa access & what that included, reasonable considering COVID adjustments & we were made to feel like a nuisance. We were told our transfer to the next hotel would be confirmed. It wasn’t confirmed & I was overcharged. Beautiful property & restaurant such a shame about the hotel service

Amazing hotel, luxury environment and beautiful swimming pool with view!

Beautiful location and well appointed for a luxurious, romantic stay.

Good setting with pool and open spa. Breakfast staff excellent. Wi fi very sporadic and non existent at times. Do not expect reasonable access.

There was a wedding during the weekend that we were only notified of once arriving. It was hugely disruptive and meant that there was very limited service but I imagine the hotel would be nicer if there wasn't a wedding.

The hotel was exceptional. I felt completely taken care of! In reception Juliano was able to carefully navigate my experience. In the restaurant service staff paid such close attention Gracanna, Rafaelo, Ricardo, Josephine a pure pleasure what an excellent menu and wine list! To be able to travel to such an amazing place!

Very charming and lovely Hotel. Amazing view and great staff members.

Very relaxing stay in Salina. If you want to have a beautiful sea view and the Stromboli island with a active volcano, you must stay here

Absolutely perfect. The rooms and spa were stunning and the pool and bar were amazing. The sommelier expertly paired local wine with a great meal.

We visited at the end of October, when the weather in the Aeolian Islands is still fine but there are no crowds. On arrival by taxi (15 minutes from the ferry) we were given a warm welcome. Our room was large and tastefully decorated and furnished, and it had sea views. There was an excellent en-suite bathroom. The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful and the service was of a very hight standard. The hotel consists of a central building, in typical Aeolian farmhouse style, beautifully furnished, which contains the dining area, bar and a lovely library. There are large terraces, with great views of Stromboli and other islands. The accommodation is in adjacent buildings, which are also in typical Aeolian style. There is a large swimming pool and gardens as well as a spa. The restaurant serves very good Sicilian food with a good selection of local wines. There are great walks on the island of Salina. It is easy to get around as we did by bus, or you can hire a scooter. There are many boat trips available to visit the neighbouring islands.

The original room we booked was not satisfactory, we upgraded for a substantial increase. There is no way of telling in advance of what the room will be really like. Other than that, the staff were extremely friendly, it had an excellent restaurant, although the chef got carried away with the creativity a little so you may want to stick to the a la carte menu. The island is beautiful and has great hikes and walks for the active traveller. Overall, it was a very good hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful rooms. Maybe expensive Great breakfast. Looking forward to returning
