The La Locanda del Postino hotel is a true gem in Pollara, a remote and extremely beautiful part of Salina and Sicily. Our 4 night stay was so relaxing. It’s a very quiet place except the constant sound of birds chirping at each other and, in the evening, the happy chatting of people congregating in the little garden to enjoy a cocktail and the perfect sunset (some of the best we’ve ever seen, and Pollara is the only spot on the island you can see it). The restaurant is very nice, the dishes and ingredients are all local and presented beautifully. We ate here twice during our stay, and enjoyed stuffed anchovies, swordfish, red tuna, and scorpion fish; plus tiramisu and pistachio pannacota, among other dishes and beautiful wine. Make sure you also try Francesco’s special Aperol Spritz (with a Malvasia twist) and homemade limoncello. In the evenings, we made a new habit of enjoying some Malvasia wine on our balcony and playing cards while watching the stars. Our room was very comfortable and airy, with a little tv and fridge, and a window with a lovely sea view. In the mornings, we had traditional Sicilian breakfasts: homemade cakes, biscuits, croissants, fruit, and good coffee. Overall, Francesco and his family have created a wonderful little spot in the world where you can come to relax, enjoy nature and good food. Perfect for any creatives looking for inspiration. They really care about their island and their guests and this makes for a memorable stay, or dinner - whichever you treat yourself to!
