Capofaro Locanda & Malvasia

The setting and staff at Capofaro were amazing. Everyone was very welcoming, the food was delicious and fresh, and the setting was incredible. We highly recommend Capofaro and hope to return to the hotel soon.

Absolutely magical from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The grounds and views from the property are stunning. The friendly, knowledgeable staff catered to our every need including a trip to the beach. Watching the volcano erupt on Stromboli in the distance over our digestifs was the cherry on top of a perfect stay! I cannot wait to return.

Very nice location but not a lot to do. Ideal to rest. Could have a gym and a tennis. They rent nice boats to go around the islands. Super quiet. Excellent food but after 6 days tried everything a few times! Should have a longer menu. Staff very friendly but sometimes hard to communicate.

Restaurant service hopelessly slow for the price. Restaurant itself outrageously priced for what it is. WiFi poor. Don’t believe the hype. Go somewhere else for half the price and you’re likely to have a much better experience. Over- promoted. Avoid

Location - Beautiful between the vineyards and an amazing view, it would be good to see the ocean from the pool but all the same it’s a great location, lovely vineyards and a nice clean please. The general staff work hard on this. Food - I thought it was very nice, dinner and breakfast, although waiting 10 minutes once for plates at the buffet breakfast was a bit of a letdown. Staff - In general the staff are very good, very nice and helpful, they try their best. Service - Its patchy, a few weak links but this leads down from the manager I would think. Cleanliness - Rooms are super clean although I did request that staff clean the hotel restaurant. There was an event and one day it was not fit for purpose. It should be checked hourly. Management - think with a good manager, ( Maybe the current one has a connection with the owners, otherwise i’m not sure why ) a manager who can learn from mistakes and embrace and learn from them, ( rather than be defensive, or worse, if they do not see their mistakes ) then this place could be a Leading resort of the world. Unfortunately this is not the case. Summary - There’s a little bit of arrogance here, it’s a nice place but take away the view and the vineyard, you are not left with a whole amount. Irrelevant of the price point, I just don’t think the service is consistent enough. Bugs in the room etc are expected as it’s a countryside resort. But I would not risk my wedding or a long holiday with this management. ( Time is too precious, she does not care ) but it’s worth a visit for a day to check out the view and the grounds. Advice - Please smile, be professional, don’t huff and puff, you have great potential. Some great staff, I hope it works.

We stayed three nights at Capofaro and had an amazing experience. The property is stunning, the rooms large and well equip, the staff very friendly and helpful. The whole experience; accommodation, dining, wine tasting, beach lidos and the pool did not disappoint. We will return
