Malfa House | Unique panoramic house in Salina

2 Bedroom House in Malfa

No other house in Salina has such a stunning position as Casa Arturo. The house, rustic and simple in its furniture, boasts a panoramic terrace that offers a privileged view of the sea, of the beach of Punta Scario and of its 'faraglioni’.
Casa Arturo stands alone along the only path that leads to the beach of Punta Scario. The village of Malfa, with its shops, restaurants and cafe is within walking distance.
The house consists of 2 floors (tot. 90 m2) and has two entrances. A living room with a dining table, a bathroom with shower and a basic kitchen are on the ground floor.
An internal stairway leads to the first floor and onto two double bedrooms both with sea view. Please note that the access to the second bedroom is via the first bedroom and that the ceiling is low (2 meters).
Salina is the greenest and perhaps the most beautiful of the seven Aeolian Islands, and offers restaurants, beaches, villages and an authentic island life. Salina can be reached by ferry and hydrofoil from Sicily, Naples or Reggio Calabria. Milazzo (40 km west of Messina) is the main departure point for the Aeolian Islands. Ferries and hydrofoils leave daily and stop in several islands. It takes 1hr 30 minutes to reach Salina by hydrofoil and 3hr 40 minutes by ferry. In Salina ferries arrive in the harbours of Rinella or Santa Marina di Salina. Cars and mopeds can be rented here. It is possible to book a transfer with into Sicily from the harbour to the house (25 euro) and then rent a moped in Malfa. Please note that ferries are not always departing in the evening. Therefore we advice guests to book a flight that arrive early in Sicily or the day before the rental starts. The updated timetable is available on the website of the carriers companies.
Salina is home to a wide variety caves and submerged volcanic craters. It is the most fertile of the Aeolian Islands and famous for its capers and the sweet Malvasia wine. The island is not as crowded as Lipari or Volcano and less fashionable than Panarea, but boasts beautiful landscapes, excellent restaurants and shops. A bus service connects the villages and the most beautiful sites on the island. Cars and mopeds are available for rent in the main villages. There are excellent opportunities for walking. For example to Capofaro (lighthouse) that is set on the north coast of Salina and boasts stunning views of Panarea and Stromboli (on a clear night it can be possible to see its eruptions). The inactive volcanoes Monte Fossa delle Felci and Monte dei Porri gave the island its original Greek name 'Didyme' (meaning twins) The conical mountains are 965 and 860 metres high and provide excellent walking.

Summary: We had an amazing time here. The view is spectacular. We will be back. The interiors are dated but have character. We cooked dinner there two nights (pasta as there is only a gas stove top) and ate out the rest of the time (about a 15 minute hike up a steep but charming hill to town). We're fit and love a hike but this is not suitable accommodation for anyone who is not comfortable carrying their luggage up and down steep stairs and along a cliff side pathway. Our only gripes were for the price we expected more than one roll of toilet paper (for our week long stay) and basics like salt and pepper are missing from the kitchen. Also its not very private in that we constantly found people on our balcony trying to take photos of the view, or walking past the bedroom window when we were getting changed (had to keep shutters open as its the only light source in that room). A sign at the top of the stairs that says private / no entry would help. Loved it and will be back xo

Summary: Wir haben zu zweit zwei wunderschöne Wochen in Casa Arturo verbracht. Das Haus liegt einzigartig schön über dem Strand Punta Scario. Die Ausstattung lässt manchmal zu wünschen übrig: Besteck unvollständig, ein Stuhl war zerbrochen, verstopfter Duschabfluss usw. Die Sauberkeit ist nicht optimal. Die beiden Schlafzimmer sind lediglich durch einen Vorhang getrennt (keine Tür) Die Originalität, Schönheit und Lage des Hauses lässt über Manches hinwegsehen. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch Simone Sterio war phantastisch!!! Mille grazie per tutto, caro Simone! Wilfried Müller

Summary: We had the most wonderful holiday at Casa Arturo. The property will not be for everyone. But it was certainly for us. The proximity to the beach, the amazing sunset views, the easy access to fantastic restaurants and bars all made it the best holiday in a long while. It isn’t luxurious, you do get frequent visitors from those going to and from the beach who want to investigate the intriguing property but that is all part of its inherent charm. We absolutely love it and will do our best to come back. Thank you.

Summary: As the website listing suggests, the location and character of this property are so unique that they will by their very nature provide you with memories that should last a lifetime. The facilities are present to allow you to to experience a typically Aeolian lifestyle, including wood-barbecuing, dining and doing laundry on the panoramic terrace should you choose to, and sleeping and waking to the vista and sound of the sea. Tiziana, the off-island manager and interior decorator, is accessible, engaged and enthusiastic; Simone, the on-island manager is generous, helpful and full of practical knowledge. Here are three very minor potential inconveniences that may surprise visitors from North America or Northern Europe: 1) The upstairs bedrooms have ceiling beams that extend as low as 5'9'' and require some attention from taller visitors. 2) As seen in the website photos, the only separation between the terrace and a high vertical cliff is a low-backed built-in seating bench that could provide a risk for overly adventurous children. 3) As is often the case in Italian residences, the electrical supply is limited. We found that using the toaster oven when the hot water heater was heating would trip the breaker and extinguish the electricity to the house. This is easily corrected by turning of the toaster oven and then flipping the power switch back on in the fusebox, which is located on the indoor wall to the right of the upstairs external door. None of these minor concerns should deter visitors from creating unforgettable memories in this truly unique property.

Summary: Es war einfach perfekt! Das Haus ist so wunderschön gelegen und die Aussicht überwältigend. Es sind nur ein paar Stiegen zum Strand und 10 Minuten durch idyllische Gässchen bis zu dem Dorfplatz mit gemütlichen Restaurants und ganz viel „Italianita“! Überhaupt eine wunderschöne Insel mit vielen Blüten und umgeben von kristallklarem Wasser. Wir sind begeistert! Elke

Summary: This was our fourth stay at Arturo, the last two years jettisoned at the hands of Covid. It’s every bit as special as it always was: perhaps more so with the recent upgrades to the bathroom and elsewhere around the house. A stylish bathroom fit out with bespoke shelves made by Simone make the place feel boutique hotel level, whilst the colourful furnishings carry through the house - Tiziana’s work I think! The main draw to this place is the location: an unparalleled view over Spiaggia da Scario and, given it’s orientation, unspoiled sunsets every evening. Sleeping to the sound of waves is incredible! Access isn’t easy, it’s true, so those with mobility or fitness issues may find it a little daunting. But so, so worth it. We have of course booked for 2023 because we’re not yet done with this idyllic place. I can’t see that we ever will be.
