With its reassuring presence and charm of its warm glow, the Capofaro lighthouse has been standing on the promontory of Capofaro and watching over the sea since the mid nineteenth century. From November of last year the Tasca d’Almerita family acquired this piece of island history, along with the desire to preserve and improve the structure. There are now six rooms and suites within this guardian’s lodgings, which overlook the cliffs and the splendour of the Aeolian sea, with the twins mountains of Salina behind it.
This lighthouse is the first sign for those arriving by night from the Tyrrhenian Sea, it is the northernmost lighthouse in Sicily, an island lighthouse, with a double reach light compared to his coastal brothers. Luigi Salvatore d’Asburgo, an adventurous explorer of this corner of the Mediterranean dedicated beautiful pages of his travel diary to this lighthouse, which later provided the inspiration for the author Hugo Pratt in the creation of his comics Corto Maltese. The position of the lighthouse, 100m away from the entrance of the Locanda allows guests to submerse themselves in an atmosphere of refined tranquillity and absolute relaxation.
The Marina and Malvasia Micromuseum narrates the historical and cultural heritage that intertwine throughout the history of the island of Salina, its economic development based on the production of Malvasia delle Lipari and the foundation of the Marina thanks to the lighthouses which for centuries have protected strategic human settlements and the territory.
