Hotel Arcangelo - Salina

The Hotel Arcangelo was a peaceful haven after spending a month on hot, busy Sicily. The hotel is between Via Roma and Via Sanità overlooking the sea from above. If you have rolling suitcases, use Via Sanità to avoid the steps on Via Roma. We had booked a Superior Double Room with Terrace and Sea View. Room 205 was spacious, air-conditioned, and even had a ceiling fan which seems rare in Europe. It was the most private room at the hotel with its own entrance from Via Sanità and a wonderful covered terrace with a hammock, outdoor furniture, and a great sea view. The front desk and breakfast area were accessible from within the hotel grounds. A typical Italian breakfast was included with the additions of cereal and hard-boiled eggs on most mornings. The shopping street and port of Santa Marina were not far but the hotel is above both, so some climbing is required. We considered this to be good exercise. Maybe the best feature of the hotel is its friendly, helpful personnel. Francesca at the front desk spoke excellent English and probably a few other languages. The ladies serving breakfast and cleaning the rooms were friendly, cheerful, and accommodating. When we checked out after a wonderful week, I left in the room safe a pouch containing all of my important documents, credit cards, and cash. I didn't discover this until we arrived in Taormina later the same day. I called Francesca who found my pouch and took it to the Post Office to be sent to me by registered mail. She paid the 15€ postage herself! Via PayPal, I arranged to reimburse her and pay a bit more for her wonderful hospitality which was beyond what I expected or might have experienced at other lodgings. We would certainly stay at the Hotel Arcangelo if we visited Santa Marina Salina again and recommend that you consider this hotel as well.

Ho avuto il piacere di passare con mio figlio 2 fantastici giorni in questo hotel. Siamo rimasti alquanto colpiti dalla struttura, il silenzio e la pace che ci ha accompagnati, il verde che ci ha cullato e la piscina rinfrescato. Camera molto spaziosa e corredata davvero di tutto. Colazione anche se solo dolce ben fornita e piuttosto abbondante. Un dolce pensiero va alle ragazze della reception, sempre sorridenti, garbate e disponibili in ogni nostra richiesta. Consiglio vivamente questo hotel, sperando di tornare presto a trovarvi. Grazie di tutto.
