Laid back vibe in lovely location with great views and great proximity to restaurants and town main square and also beautiful beach. Gianfranco and Luciano were both very helpful with advice about travel and places to go and see. The room was a good size with a nice balcony with a great view (including a hammock) and everything worked perfectly.

We had a really wonderful 3-day stay at Il Gelso Vacanze, located in Malfa. It was close to the heart of the village, and also a short walk down some very interesting and safe laneways, past ripe figs, to the local beach (Spiaggia dello Scario (you have to visit!). Giafranco was super helpful, made great breakfasts on the deck, and gave us lots of tips for things to do and see. We couldnt fault our stay.

We truly loved every part of our 10 day stay at Il Gelso. Malfa is a beautiful town and the hotel location was perfect. Il Gelso is a short stroll to the shops, local restaurants and to the beach. Our traditional room was large with a private terrace and had a lovely ocean view. The daily breakfast was delicious and served on the terrace with beautiful views. The room was very clean and serviced daily. We couldn't have wished for anymore. We felt very relaxed and at home here. Gianfranco was a wonderful host; welcoming, friendly, helpful and we will always remember his kindness, it really made our stay. We look forward to returning again and would highly recommend a stay at Il Gelso.

Gianfranco served us a lovely and sweet breakfast every morning with an exceedingly beautiful view of the ocean ahead and the island's volcanoes, vineyards and flora behind.

Everything was wonderful! Gianfranco is a lovely host, more than happy to help with queries and to provide information, including lending us a walking map of the island. The room was spotless and was cleaned every day, including the private terrace. The room is well equipped including a mini fridge and wonderful shower. The room is large and has everything you need. The private terrace has an amazing view and breakfast is served on a communal terrace. It is only y a 5 minute walk to bars and restaurants but is very quiet and only a 10 minute walk to the wonderful beach. A perfect spot for an early morning sunrise swim before anyone else is up. We would definitely stay again. A big thank you to Gianfranco too for letting us keep our room when we stopped over in Stromboli for 1 night with no extra charge. If you are in Malfa it’s the place to stay.

Amazing stay everything was perfect from staff to location

Roberta Luxembourg

Position and good care taken of the facility, including a very nice garden. Each room has a private and roomy terrace, with long chaises and hammock great to chill out in the morning or in the evening

Fabio Italien

The place was beautiful, just few minutes from the bus stop

Very friendly and forthcoming staff (even though not everybody spoke EN). Every piece of advice we were given by the host was spot on. It's located very close to the town centre yet still in a quiet location. The hamak with views of either the sea or Monte dei Porri hanging on the generous terrace allowed for great relaxation.
