Capofaro Resort, Malfa Overview
Capofaro Resort is a 5-star hotel in Malfa, Italy.
Capofaro Resort is a 5-star property on Salina, in Malfa, Italy, where the pace is unhurried and the views do most of the talking. Set at Via Faro 3, it suits travelers who want a luxury base while still being close enough to explore the island’s coastline and villages. Guests commonly mention the calm atmosphere and the convenience of having a restaurant on-site, plus the practicality of room service when you’d rather stay in. The resort’s fitness facilities are available for a surcharge, and air conditioning helps when the island warms up. Non-smoking rooms and luggage storage are also noted as helpful for day-to-day comfort.
Dining is anchored by the resort’s restaurant, where breakfast is served as a buffet and Mediterranean flavors take center stage for both guests and the public.

If you’re up for a longer outing, Monte Fossa delle Felci hiking trails are about 12 km from the resort, offering the kind of island panorama that makes Salina famous.
