Located on the verdant island of Salina in the Aeolian archipelago, Capofaro is a serene escape rooted in nature, heritage, and understated elegance. Owned by the celebrated Tasca d’Almerita wine family, this intimate Relais & Châteaux property is set among Malvasia vineyards with panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and nearby volcanic islets.
Capofaro offers guests a deeply immersive experience of Sicilian island life. Days unfold slowly here—begin with breakfast overlooking the vines and sea, followed by curated adventures like guided hikes, sailing excursions, or vineyard tastings with the estate’s winemaker. The surrounding landscape invites discovery, while the property’s peaceful energy makes it just as rewarding to do nothing at all.
The 27 rooms and suites, including several housed in a historic lighthouse residence, reflect minimalist Mediterranean design with natural textures and local materials. Dining at the property’s restaurant highlights Salina’s seasonal bounty, celebrating simple, elegant dishes inspired by the sea and land.

TREATED LIKE ROYALTY IN TUSCANY
Three nights just wasn't long enough!! This property is so amazing. From the moment we drove onto the property until the moment we had to say goodbye, we were treated like royalty. Our room, a beautiful attic room named Torretta, was so lovely and peaceful. We enjoyed massages at the Spa after our long travel from the States to Rome and then via car to Volterra. We had two dinners in the Medieval Fireplace Restaurant and one in the green michelin star restaurant, Villa Pignano. The food and service were superb. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast each morning with cooked to order egg options. Just fabulous! This was my first time enjoying pistachio cream. What a treat on pancakes and croissants. We hiked around the property following the well blazed trail markers. One day was rainy and we enjoyed spending time in the fitness room as well as visiting the artisanal workshop where we purchased shampoos, lotions and soaps that are in each room and are made on property. Wine tasting with food & beverage manager Mario was a delightful experience. Mario also took us under his wing at dinner and paired wines with our menu choices. And Gigi took such good care of us throughout our visit. He is indeed a quintessential Italian gentleman. Highly recommend this property for a relaxing time of pampering in Tuscany!
