Staying at the Hotel Ravesi means visiting an important place in the history of the island of Salina. In fact, the hotel is the result of an authentic restoration of an old location owned by the Ravesi family. The main part of the building was built in the XIX century.

A number of dwellings for domestic and farmhouse use were built next to the original building. The farmhouses were transformed into small mills for making agricultural and fish products. Because of this the characteristics of Aeolian architecture can be seen, such as covered terraces (bagghju), which have roofs made from wooden beams supported by wide columns (called pulera) and a stone bench (called bisuolu) covered by old eighteenth century Napoleonic and Sicilian tiling. There are also eaves made from baked stone (called catusieri) for collecting water, and old washhouses (in stacks).

The hotel’s bar is dug out of an old farm lodge, which was used for making wine and malvasia, adjacent to a raised kitchen with its characteristic cufulara and a wood-fired, which is now small but well equipped library, in which you will be able to appreciate reading while enjoying a good breakfast or a cool aperitif.

Also, the hotel borders on the central Immacolata church and the squarewith someshops, offices, bar and restaurants; it is only a few hundred metres from the small Scalo Galera port and Punta Scario beach.
