Il Gelso Vacanze represents a refined oasis of tranquility in Salina, immersed in the vibrant vegetation of this Aeolian island. Located just a short walk from the beautiful bay of Punta Scario and the town center of Malfa, the bed and breakfast is easily accessible, allowing guests to explore local bars, restaurants, and other amenities with pleasant strolls.

The entrance, adorned with pines that offer shade and coolness, leads to a spacious private parking area, while quiet and flowery paths guide visitors to discover the rooms, characterized by authentic Aeolian architecture. The furnishings, inspired by local tradition, feature elegant wrought-iron beds and all modern comforts, including air conditioning and Wi-Fi connectivity. Each room has a private bathroom and opens onto a charming equipped terrace, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the sea view.

The property boasts large panoramic terraces where a hearty breakfast is served, a pleasant moment to start the day with a taste of beauty in the landscape. Guests can also choose to enjoy breakfast directly on their terrace. During their stay, it is easy to be enchanted by the lush vegetation of the island, famous for staying green and lush even in the height of summer, thanks to its privileged location and the absence of water sources.

Salina, with its ancient volcanic cones, offers many exploration opportunities, including boat trips to nearby islands such as Lipari, Vulcano, Stromboli, and Panarea. Its history and cultural heritage, tied to the Roman period, enrich the atmosphere, making every stay at Il Gelso Vacanze a unique experience in harmony with the natural world and traditions of the island.

Couldn't have been better. Il Gelso Vacanze is a magical garden with the most beautiful view of the sea. Charming rooms, a tasty Italian breakfast, and a very friendly host that instantly makes you feel at home. The beach and Malfa's square with bars and shops are just a five-minute walk away. Paolo was very helpful with his suggestions on what to explore and where to eat. Tanze grazie, I will be back soon!

We stayed a couple of days in this facility which in our opinion is at the top of its category. The structure is surrounded by a large well-kept garden, terrace, and sea-facing verandas. Spacious rooms and essential furnishings. Gianfranco, the manager, is extremely kind and helpful.

We had a great time, we found great courtesy and availability. The place is surrounded by greenery and everywhere you can breathe the scent of flowers. Convenient to the center but with the scooter or car you can go wherever you want. We will keep a wonderful memory.

Typical Aeolian structure with a sea view. Spacious rooms equipped with a terrace furnished with deck chairs and a hammock. Functional bathroom with comfortable dimensions. Double ventilation (fan and air conditioning). Breakfast well assorted and complete: fruit, pastries, homemade jams, boiled eggs, fruit juices (only downside is the lack of fresh juices), fresh bread. Courtesy and kindness from the manager. An unforgettable stay.
