- "We had such a wonderful time at Hotel Ravesi. The hotel is a peaceful oasis in the centre of Malfa. There are gardens, a rooftop terrace and a heated infinity pool and all with the most incredible view out to sea and of the neighbouring islands Stromboli and Panarea. Our room, which was recently refurbished, was beautiful and serene. The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to help us have the perfect stay, helping us organise activities and giving us advise on what to do on the island. Just amazing! We will be back for sure!"

But above all the staff were fantastic, both in the hotel and the restaurant. So friendly and welcoming, and went out of their way to help and give us tips on where to explore.

- "Loved everywhere" - "I can’t fault this place or our stay everything was incredible and way above and beyond expectation down to the size of the property, how beautiful and spectacular it was. The staff are incredible, so helpful and friendly and a special mention to Raffaele not only were his drink creations unlike anything you will ever have he was so warm and friendly and was a highlight of our trip. Not to mention although we didn’t get to try the Michelin restaurant we had the food from the bistro and wow it was amazing and I wouldn’t say we are easy critics either. I would say to upgrade your stay here as it is truly worth it and we walked away feeling like we got a steal with this stay."
