Malavoglia Inn is located right in the centre of this charming and picturesque fishing village, which inspired Giovanni Verga's most well-known novel, I Malavoglia.

With the stunning rocks of the Faraglioni as a backdrop, there is plenty to see and do in the town, with water sports proving particularly popular.
