Et nydelig b&b som gir en minneverdig opplevelse
Pros:

Perfekt beliggenhet for å utforske Salina, med svært hyggelig personale og et flott rom med utsikt. Hagen er nydelig, og frokosten som serveres der holder høy kvalitet. Vi anbefaler stedet på det varmeste – det lever virkelig opp til forventningene, og vi kommer gjerne tilbake.

Il Boutique Hotel I Cinque Balconi, un sogno!
Pros:

Il Boutique Hotel I Cinque Balconi è un bellissimo edificio a conduzione familiare. L'hotel si trova in una posizione tranquilla, non lontano dal centro e a pochi minuti a piedi dal porto, anche con i bagagli. Il proprietario e il suo staff hanno fatto di tutto per rendere il nostro soggiorno il più piacevole possibile. Avremmo potuto rimanere molto più a lungo in questa atmosfera amichevole e accogliente. Il ristorante dell'hotel offre un'ampia scelta di cibi e bevande locali preparati con amore. Il bellissimo giardino invita a fare colazione e a soffermarsi nella bella stagione. Le richieste speciali vengono soddisfatte con cortesia e flessibilità. Nulla passa inosservato.

Sfeervol hotel met fantastische staf.
Pros:

De staf was super, al voordat ik kwam was er goede communicatie. Het restaurant in hetzelfde pand is echt geweldig qua eten, sfeer en staf. De tuin is leuk en de kamer is sfeervol en smaakvol. Zeker voor als je overdag vooral buiten bent is het een geweldige uitvalsbasis.

Cons:

De kamer is - zoals je in het midden van het centrum en boven een restaurant kunt verwachten - wat luidruchtig, met name tussen 19:30-23:00 uur. Daarna wordt het stil en overdag is het ook prima.

Pros:

Staff, especially restaurant/breakast was very professional and considerate.
Restaraunt service and food was excellent: best dinner in Salina.

Cons:

The AC in the room had a really bright display. It was right on the wall opposite the bed, so at night, with all the lights off, it felt like it was shining on you like a flashlight. It was mounted so high that there was no way to cover the display. Turning it off wasn’t an option either, because it was just too hot at night.
