Location and Transportation

Hotel Mamma Santina is located in Santa Marina, Salina, 550 meters from the port where hydrofoils and ferries dock. The hotel is 100 km from Reggio di Calabria Tito Minniti Airport. Nearby landmarks include Spiaggia Di Rinella (3 km), Museo Civico (2.5 km), and Punta Lingua lighthouse (2.5 km).

Services

Mamma Santina offers guests a water bottle upon check-in to be refilled at the hotel's water dispensers. The hotel also provides breakfast, featuring organic foods and fresh fruit from the garden, from 7:30 am for early checkouts. The hotel has minimized the use of plastic and prioritized seasonal, local produce for the restaurant.

“With its Aeolian design and locally-sourced ingredients from its own garden, this family-run establishment struck me as more than just a place to stay; the care extends to community engagement and a reduction of plastic, showing a dedication to both guest experience and environmental respect. The location is a short walk from the port, but I found the electric scooter rentals allow for a more expansive exploration of the island, a thoughtful touch for independent travelers; I'd recommend it for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the island's culture. It's a truly authentic and welcoming base.”
