Loved my 3-night stay here in Salina. Up high with a great view across to Lipari. Breakfast was so generous. Paolo was amazing and made everything easy - grazie Paolo! I’d happily stay here again.
Thanks Katia for the nice review and for the kind words about us. We are very happy that your holiday went well.<br> We hope to see you again soon.<br> Regards, Paolo and the Staff Hotel da Franco

The hotel is in a prime location, offering a beautiful view. It can be reached by car/scooter or by requesting a paid transfer service. It's connected on foot to the Lido Rapa Nui (start of the pedestrian area) via a path with steps, but in excellent condition and mostly lit. The rooms are spotless, as is the beautiful pool. Breakfast offers a wide selection, and Paolo and the girls are wonderful people. We were greeted with a cold welcome drink, and when we asked for an afternoon snack for our daughter, they were there right away. I highly recommend it!
Grazie Giulia per la Gradita recensione, siamo lieti che il vostro soggiorno sia stato piacevole, condivideremo le Sue gentili parole con il nostro staff.<br>speriamo d poterci rivedere presto, vi auguriamo buona estate.<br>è stato un vero piacere aver fatto la vostra conoscenza.<br>Saluti Paolo e tutto lo Staff Hotel Da Franco
Our experience at the hotel has been fantastic. From the first moment Paolo was very attentive, he welcomed us with a drink and explained to us the best places on the island, restaurants, beaches, etc. on a map that was very useful for us to visit the whole island. Without a doubt, our stay was much more beautiful thanks to him and the Da Franco team, who at all times have been concerned that we were comfortable. The breakfasts are delicious, they take care of the room in detail and the views from both the restaurant/breakfast area and the pool are fantastic. If you have to go to Salina, you won't find a better place to stay. Grazie mille Paolo! Arrivederci!!
Gracias Jordi por la maravillosa reseña, gracias por las palabras amables hacia nosotros,<br> estamos muy contentos de que su estancia haya sido agradable, fue un verdadero placer conocerlos y esperamos poder verlos de nuevo pronto, <br>saludos Paolo y todo el equipo del Hotel Da Franco

We stayed in Salina for two nights at "da Franco." The place is truly lovely, with spectacular views and a great location. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. The hotel also has a lovely pool, and the staff is incredibly friendly. As soon as we arrived, Mr. Paolo showed us around and explained the island's main attractions, and was always available and extremely kind. Highly recommended.

Paolo was invaluable throughout my stay, offering advice and accommodating any of my requests. Giada greeted me every morning with a wonderful smile and pampered me at breakfast. The view from my room's terrace is breathtaking; it's definitely worth the five-minute climb to enjoy the view. Highly recommended! (There's also a beautiful pool.)
Everything was perfect! Clean rooms and breakfast with a breathtaking view. Very kind staff. A fantastic experience, highly recommended.

Grazie Pietro per la Gradita recensione le Gentili parole nei nostri confronti.È stato un vero piacere avervi come nostri ospiti .<br>Saluti Paolo e Tutto lo staff Hotel Da Grqnco
We ended up here by chance (we were supposed to go to Alicudi, but they suspended the route, so we opted for Salina). Paolo kindly picked us up at the port and took us to the property. The room had a breathtaking view, absolute silence, and relaxation. The friendliness and helpfulness were unparalleled, and the breakfast included fresh produce and freshly baked croissants. We will definitely be back.
Grazie Roberto per la sua gradita recensione e per le parole gentili nei nostri confronti.<br>Avervi avuto come nostri ospiti è stato un vero piacere, speriamo di rivederci presto.<br>Saluti Paolo e tutto lo Staff Hotel Da Franco

Grazie Giampaolo per la Sua gradita recensione, è stato un vero piacere avervi come ospiti. Speriamo di rivederci presto.<br>Saluti Paolo e tutto lo Staff Hotel Da Franco
Pampering and relaxation!!<br>The Hotel da Franco is a beautiful property: panoramic, clean, quiet, but above all "authentic"! We were greeted by the owner Paolo, who accompanied us from the pier to the hotel...<br>Comfortable bed, good air conditioning, and a splendid veranda overlooking the sea!<br>Paolo is the real plus of the property: heart, passion, and so much kindness for his guests...a truly wonderful person, as is his staff...congratulations!
Grazie Angelo La per gradita recensione e per le belle parole nei nostri confronti. E' stato un vero piacere avervi come nostri ospiti. speriamo di rivederci presto. Saluti Paolo e tutto lo staff Hotel da Franco.
Grazia Carla per la sua gradita recensione. Speriamo di avervi ancora nostri ospiti è stato un vero piacere.<br>Saluti Paolo e tutto lo Staff Hotel Da Franco
The property is strategically located, close to the center of Santa Marina and its port, yet secluded in the heart of Salina's natural setting. The rooms are clean and the view is splendid, with the sea and the island of Lipari stretching out before guests' eyes. The same breathtaking view can be enjoyed from the hotel's beautiful pool. Breakfast is also excellent, with the waiters attentive to guests' needs.<br>The added value of the property is Paolo, who, upon arrival, provided us with a map of the island, pointing out the best activities, restaurants, and bars on the island. We followed his advice and were always satisfied.<br>When and if we return to Salina, we will definitely stay here.
Salve Gianmarco,<br>Grazie per la Sua gradita recensione e per le belle parole, è stato un vero piacere avervi avuti come nostri ospiti.<br>Speriamo di rivederci presto.<br>un saluto Paolo e Tutto lo Staff <br>Hotel da Franco
A very quiet hotel in Santa Marina di Salina, just steps from the sea (there's a nearby beach called Rapa Nui). The town center, with its quaint streets, is also easily reached on foot. The hotel also features a large swimming pool with a beautiful view of the Aeolian Sea. The host is quite helpful and courteous, and the rooms had all the amenities. The breakfast area could use some work, as it's a bit rustic. Overall, a good experience. We stayed for just one night on a business trip.
Salve signor Pino,<br>nel ringraziare per la Sua gentile recensione, di cui faremo tesoro, ci permettiamo di evidenziare che alcune foto postate non sono di pertinenza della nostra struttura.<br>Cordialità
We stayed at the Salina Hotel da Franco and were very pleased! The view is spectacular. The pool is truly beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, perfect for relaxing.<br><br>Special thanks to Paolo, always very helpful and kind, who helped us with helpful tips on what to see and where to eat. His hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable.<br><br>We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.
Teniamo a Ringraziare per la gradita recensione. è stato un piacere avervi nostri ospiti, speriamo di rivederci presto. saluti La Direzione
The property needs serious renovations. The room is large, but the cleanliness leaves much to be desired. The mattress is awful and uncomfortable. The breakfast is poor and lacks variety. The cappuccino is almost cold, and the croissants are barely defrosted. The price is very high for the quality of the place. The pool is unusable; the only nice thing about it is the view. Not recommended.
Salve signora,<br>prenderemo nita delle Sue osservazioni.<br>Non ci risulta che la piscina sia impraticabile. <br>Per meglio occuparci dei Suoi rilievi, potrebbe dirci in che periodo ( nome della prenotazione, non ci risulta una prenotazione a Suo nome) a soggiornato da noi?<br>Cordialità
