The food is absolutely exquisite - it deserves at least a Michelin star!!!! Awesome selection of wines ....

Everything was magical. The most peaceful and atmospheric scenery. great rooms, comfortable beds, very clean, incredible restaurant (food was delicious!). We were lucky enough to extend our stay here by 1x more day and so glad that we did. I cannot recommend enough, staying at the Hotel La Locanda Del Postino. Everything is perfect. With the most incredible sunsets every night, it felt like being in a film. Salina was our favourite Island, such a stunning place - which says a lot, as all of the Aeolian islands that we stayed on were gorgeous.

The hotel is owned and managed by a family and you feel at home from the very first moment. The attention to the details and friendliness from every staff member was exceptional. Our special thanks to the chef for the excellent dishes and creativity. Having a catch of the day as a dinner with the view of the sunset accompanied by Malvazia wine from Salina will stay in my heart forever. Hope to return soon!

There is nothing that you can dislike about the property. Its just 10/10

The location and the host are the best part of the property. It has the best of the sunsets in the world and amazing rooms

This is an absolutely amazing place. Family run, Francesco was SUPER helpful, over and above. Gorgeous location, full of history and culture. This is a unique experience.

Dinner is slightly overpriced. Aperitif is dramatically overpriced. We had it the first day and we didn't know. Then we had it many other places and we had a point of comparison.

Staff very very good. Exceptional view. Perfect breakfast with hand made desserts prepared freshly every day Many thanks especially to the Hotel manager.

We spent three wonderful nights at La Locanda des Postino. The staff was very welcoming, helpful and caring. The location, of course, is magnificent. The restaurant was excellent. We hope to come back soon!

I can't remember.

Francesco runs a beautiful hotel and the food was excellent too, cocktails over the sunset from the garden, friendly conversation with the staff and other guests. I was lucky to arrive at the time of the festival of the village Saint Onophreus. The night here was a highlight of Salina.

Stayed in June 2024

Due to a cancelled ferry, we arrived in the middle of the night (02:00) but Francesco stayed up to wait for us. Staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs and created a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy food, drinks and sunsets.

Location to die for❤️Friendly and helpful owners. Best sunsets ever

Beautiful historic house lovingly restored. I loved my room with its high ceilings, beautiful drapes and antique tiles not to mention wonderful lingering fresh scent on the air. Set in lush green gardens with panoramic views - what's not to like. Delightful staff. I'd love to stay again.

A very peaceful spot on the island. Very service minded and pleasant hosts at the hotel! Great views, rooms, food and wine!

The views to catch the sunset from the hotel are the best ones in town, the place is very romantic, peaceful and beautifully designed. Super friendly staff, very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. The quality of the food made with local ingredients was delicious and the breakfast and dinner are totally worth it. Highly recommended place, one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily!!

Staying in this charming family owned hotel was definitely the highlight of my 3 weeks in Sicily! The family who run the hotel was really helpful and gave me good tips what to do on the island, they made me feel very comfortable, they even let me stay one extra night after closing the hotel. My room was really clean, nicely decorated and had a stunning seaview with views to Filicudi Alicudi. From the terazza you could enjoy the sunset every evening while sipping your aperitivo. Breakfast was great and filling. Pollara as a location is a really small place with not much services (I think my hotel was the only one operating there during my stay and it was closing as well for the winter). I was also travelling during the low season, so I don't how it is during the hight season. But I didn't really mind the lack of services because this kind of peaceful and authentic place away from tourist massed was something I was looking for. Also there was amazing restaurant at the hotel that was visited by people from other parts of the island as well, so I was not left hungry! Also there's minibus going quite frequently to other villages on the island where there are supermarket, some restaurants and farmacy etc. but renting a moped or a car would definitely give you more freedom. Famous and beautiful pollara beach is at 15 min walking distance. All in all I enjoyed a lot and left the place with wistful feelings. Grazie mille!

The rooms are fairly small, and close to the other rooms. In itself not a problem, just the value-for-money ratio felt a bit stretched. Then again, the view was great. The village Pollara is tiny indeed. This means there are no shops, no cafes, nothing. We knew this beforehand, but underestimated a bit the consequences, i.e. having to take local buses to other villages. We were unfortunate that during our stay (in late September) temperatures were still extremely high which made day trips more difficult to plan.

We enjoyed a very pleasant stay at the Locanda. It is run by one family, and they were all very helpful and made the overall experience very personal. The breakfast and dinner were of exceptional quality, and having your dinner at sunset on the outdoor terrace with great views to neighboring island Filicudi was magical.

Amazing stay - amazing owners, view, atmosphere and cuisine. And pollara beach just 10min away on foot - place straight from the Dreams. Absolutely recommend.

This is not a criticism of the hotel, but something guests should be prepared for: one should arrange a means of transport while at the hotel--either scooters or a car. Pollara is quiet and secluded on the west side of the island (which is why its great), so one will need to travel to Malfa, Santa Marina Salina or Rinella for various activities, meals and errands.

La Locanda Del Postino is one of the best and my favorite hotel experiences––everyone in my family agrees. The hotel and its location are beautiful; the photos don't do it justice. The decor is simple but elegant; It's not over-designed. It's run by a family, all of whom are great and give it a sense of warmth and integrity. The staff, like them, are friendly and helpful; we enjoyed running into some of them at restaurants and beaches on Salina. The breakfast is outstanding with excellent, house-made cakes and other sweets, as well as a savory option each day. We also enjoyed cocktails and dinner at the hotel twice. This is truly a magical, special place.

This is an absolutely stunningly beautiful hotel. The location is amazing in the beautiful Pollara, with the most amazing sunsets. The breakfast is great with lots of options, and the dinners are good and they made dishes to accommodate our kids.

Wonderful location augmented by extremely helpful and friendly staff. Excellent food and advice and always willing to help out.

The only thing I can think of is that the bed was a bit too firm and not the most comfortable for me (I am pregnant so I recognise this is obviously a personal preference/particular requirement!). Maybe some extra pillows and softer king size beds would be welcome though

The family who own the hotel and all the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a comfortable and pleasant stay. They made a special pear and ricotta cake for my husband's birthday (thier idea) and it was one of the best cakes we've ever had! I also accidentally left some items in our room after we'd left Salina for Stromboli and they went to the effort of putting the package on the next day's hydrofoil and ensuring the ferry staff got it to us safely. The hotel is beautiful and a nice relaxed vibe but don't expect modern luxury - the style is rustic and traditionally Sicilian, in keeping with the island setting. Aperitivos at sunset are a must and the restaurant food is good. Breakfast is also great with lots of cakes/biscuits/homemade jams etc and super friendly staff.

This locanda is a sublime experience; the location between mountains in beautiful natural surroundings, the delicious and freshly cooked dinner on the terrace overlooking the sea, the glooming sunsets and last, but most importantly, the hospitality of Francesco and his family. We enjoyed every day and will definitely come back.
