Francesco was warm and friendly just like his home and was helpful in recommending places to go and visit on Salina and the other Aeolian Islands. The house was easy to find and ideally located as it was in walking distance to both Malfa town and the beach. Wonderful views from the outside terrace over to the islands of Panarea and Stromboli and and a perfect spot to enjoy a bottle of wine and some olives. The house was clean, tidy with a very well stocked kitchen and I would have no hesitation in recommending Francesco's place to stay to others.
