Mamma Santina is a wonderful family-owed hotel in a perfect location in Santa Marina Salina, walking distance from the ferry. After two weeks of great small hotels and b&b's in eastern Sicily, this one was our favorite. The hotel is informal but very professionally run, and the owner, Mario, and his wonderful staff—Silvio, Alessio, and the rest—couldn't have been more... More

Hotel Mamma Santina is a beautiful and charming hotel with wonderful rooms, an excellent restaurant and perfect service. I visited in the spring during a slow time. I emailed a few days ahead of time and they wrote back very promptly. They gave me their rates, and then immediately offered an upgraded room at the rate normally given for their... More

From the moment we were met at the hydrofoil, our stay at this friendly small hotel was amazing. The manager and staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped us make the best of our time by suggesting and arranging a boat trip, zodiac rental and recommending hiking trails. We loved the hammock on the terrace in front of our... More

The room was large, clean with a... More

Actually just a battered small truck typical of the island transport. No is is not sophisticated, but it was soon apparent that everything... More

At the end of the season when most places are jaded and ready to close in the Aeolian Isles this small hotel gave excellent service, helpful advice and convinced us that the charm of the Aeolians and Salina in particular is unique in the whole of Italy. When we arrived (last week of October) we were the only guests there... More

If you have been there once you want to return every year again... believe me... you'll miss it. Therefore just imagine the sun slowly going down and... More

The Hotel Mamma Santina is a family business in Salina. The warmth, the friendship and the attention for the customers are the priorities of such a business. The onsite stuff is very prompt, kind and responsive to customers' needs. Besides, the quality of food is really at the top.
