We visited the Capofaro Locando & Malvasia for 3 nights in early September. We were told that our room was being upgraded and were assigned a “Capofaro” (lighthouse) room with a roof patio with no chairs. There were no water views from inside the room. The chairs on our garden patio did not have the necessary cushions put on them. With this, we felt that we were captive to the inside of the room or the resort’s common areas. The dinner in the restaurant the first night was exceptional. The shuttle service offered to a couple of villages on Salina was timely and well run. As is customary in Italy, breakfast is included with an accommodation. The breakfast offerings at Capofaro was very disappointing. Eggs were not offered unless you asked and anything other than scrambled, fried, or poached eggs were offered at a stiff up charge. The fruit offerings were minimal. Services were also lacking. We requested ice for our room twice. The first time, it took 45 minutes to get ice. The second time, it never came. My wife asked the person making up the room for an extra bath towel for her hair. Our expectation is that it would be repeated daily. It was not.
