We absolutely loved the Casa dell'Arco. We were pleasantly surprised to find the house is lovelier in person even though the host provided ample images and complete descriptions. The view from the gardens and terraces are spectacular, rooms are big, and the kitchen is amply equipped. We cooked many meals here, and were happy to have use of a BBQ! The host Marcello provided a huge amount of information before we arrived, with restaurant and site seeing recommendations. Even though we had a guide book to Salina, Marcello's tips were put to good use! We also appreciated his great communication, replying to emails and questions extremely fast.
His lovely parents Bob and Raffaella made sure we had everything we needed including a pick up upon arrival from the port. We very much enjoyed chatting with such interesting and well travelled people. Overall the house and hosts definitely made our first visit to Salina a much more enjoyable one.
