Capofaro

Salina, Italy

A Sicilian Sanctuary Where Nature, Wine, and Culture Converge

Located on the verdant island of Salina in the Aeolian archipelago, Capofaro is a serene escape rooted in nature, heritage, and understated elegance. Owned by the celebrated Tasca d’Almerita wine family, this intimate Relais & Châteaux property is set among Malvasia vineyards with panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and nearby volcanic islets.

Capofaro offers guests a deeply immersive experience of Sicilian island life. Days unfold slowly here—begin with breakfast overlooking the vines and sea, followed by curated adventures like guided hikes, sailing excursions, or vineyard tastings with the estate’s winemaker. The surrounding landscape invites discovery, while the property’s peaceful energy makes it just as rewarding to do nothing at all.

The 27 rooms and suites, including several housed in a historic lighthouse residence, reflect minimalist Mediterranean design with natural textures and local materials. Dining at the property’s restaurant highlights Salina’s seasonal bounty, celebrating simple, elegant dishes inspired by the sea and land.

Capofaro is a place where authenticity, refinement, and a deep connection to place coexist. Ideal for couples, solo travelers, and wine enthusiasts, it’s a destination that rewards curiosity, encourages presence, and captures the quiet magic of island living in Sicily.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AT CAPOFARO!

We loved our stay at Capofaro! We were traveling with our teenage daughters and we originally booked the family suite, but it ended up not being ready for our stay. We were notified in advance and given the option to upgrade to their nicest suite and the girls were given a separate room. Our room was amazing. It had a huge porch with views of the ocean and very comfortable furniture. It was a perfect spot to relax. The staff helped us book a half day cruise around the island which I would highly recommend. The breakfasts each morning were amazing and all of the staff were very kind. I had read some mixed reviews about the service here, but we did not experience any issues at all. The staff went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here and would love to return some day!
