My girlfriend and I stayed two nights in Gianluca's house. We had a great time. The room opens out onto the balcony, which has views down towards the sea. Gianluca's room is next door and his parents live on the floor below - so you feel like you are in the middle of the farm.
Both evenings Gianluca cooked really delicious huge meals, using local produce from the farm or delicacies foraged from island. Eating these meals on the balcony with Gianluca was a highlight. The conversation was never boring - Gianluca has an excellent sense of humour and kept us laughing for ages.
Gianluca was really generous and helpful, picking us up and dropping us at the ferry and suggesting things to do on the beautiful island of Salina.
Don't stay here if you want a hotel experience, but do stay here if you want a little slice of traditional life on the island. We would defiantly come back. Thank you so much Gianluca!
