Scario beach

6 Lorelei Quinn

While the beach is very beautiful, it may be challenging for those who are not physically fit or have trouble with balance. It might be a good idea to stay at the beach hut and enjoy lunch and a beer instead. The water is stunning but can be rough at times. The rocky beach can be difficult to navigate, so consider bringing a blow-up bed for lounging. Getting in and out of the water can be tricky due to the small boulders, so having a helping hand from friends can be a lifesaver. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially when it comes to fixing deflating air beds. Don't miss out on the beautiful water and rocks, but be mindful of your abilities if you're looking for a relaxing day of lounging and swimming.

The cleanliness, service, and location are the primary features of this establishment. Simona and her husband, the owners, are always courteous, available, and kind, making every effort to ensure guests feel at home. The beach in front is stunning and made even more comfortable with the provided umbrellas and sunbeds. Being just a short distance from the center, it is extremely convenient for those who prefer not to rent a car or motorbike. I will certainly return in the future.

Porto di Santa Marina

We had a wonderful time in Saline, spending our evenings on the spacious terrace of our room, enjoying the breathtaking view of the sea and islands. The breakfast room, located on the top floor of the building, offers a panoramic 360-degree view, including a stunning sight of Stromboli. The hotel's convenient location allows easy access to the city center streets and restaurants, just around the corner. Additionally, the hotel arranged a delightful visit to a local winery for us, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
