Plan your visit to the restaurant Capofaro

As the eighth generation of the family to lead Tasca d’Almerita, a Sicilian wine company 250 years in the making, it felt natural that when we envisaged Capofaro we wanted to create somewhere that celebrates the soul of Mediterranean hospitality, while focusing on viticulture.

Capofaro truly embodies my family’s love for sea, good food and wine. The hotel’s restaurant, pool and rooms are surrounded by both old and newly planted Malvasia di Lipari vines. From these grapes we produce two different Malvasia bottles, the dry version is called Didyme- the ancient name of Salina, and the sweet one is called ‘Capofaro’.

Our guests are also invited to enjoy private tastings of Tasca’s bottles from across Sicily, with dedicated sommeliers.

A World of Wine

Enjoy a cuisine that concentrates the flavors of the sun, the sea and the volcanic soil of Salina. The chef offers guests a journey through produce matured in Capofaro Locanda and Malvasia. By reinterpreting traditional culinary customs, he takes you on a journey of taste.

Yoga

Set amid the lush gardens of Capofaro Locanda & Malvasia, the massage pavilion is the ideal place to relax after a day strolling around the island of Salina. Let yourself feel pampered by an expert therapist and continue your wellness interlude in the freshwater pool.

Salina is the greenest of the seven Aeolian Islands that emerge from the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea. Capofaro’s small whitewashed buildings and fresh water swimming pool stand regally amid the vineyard of the Tasca d’Almerita family, at the foot of one of two extinct volcanoes. Simply adorned, each room opens onto a terrace facing the sea where the fascinating silhouettes of neighbouring Stromboli and Panarea take shape. The chef leads guests on a sun-filled gastronomic journey, infused with the salty and sweet flavours of the produce grown in the property's rich volcanic soil. Following the grand monsù tradition befitting this Sicilian land of aristocracy, he proposes pairings with the Malvasia wine produced in the family vineyard.

The active volcano of Stromboli, which Capofaro looks out upon, gives the name to a particular eruption characterised by being moderate, safe and frequent.

Guests at Capofaro can enjoy their sunset aperitif on our panoramic terrace (nominated by Corriere della Sera as one of the ten best in Italy) overlooking this volcano, and its sister island Panarea. Its steady eruptions blot the sky and create a palpable energy.

The team at Capofaro can also organise a walking tour to the crater of Stromboli, with an experienced local guide.

The Sight of Stromboli

The name ‘Capofaro’ originates from Capo, the name of the village where the property is located, and Faro which means lighthouse in Italian: a functioning lighthouse stands on the border of the estate. As the lighthouse gently casts its light over the sea, guests occasionally catch its warm, gentle glow; the result is calming and very romantic.

The rest of the property is lit by soft lanterns, allowing guests to enjoy the Milky Way in the night’s sky.
