The Albergo Seaside in Rinella in Salina exceeded our expectations, it is perfectly located with a wonderful view over the small port of Rinella and its gorgeous little vulcanic sand beach, few metres from the Ferry and the bus. The Hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming, relaxed and very helpful: always with a smile and ready to help. We stayed two nights but we wished we had book more days. The room was not too big, but neither a shoe box. It was about 12 sq metres, and it had a good shower and toilet. It was clean and non noise. It had a air-conditioning, good shower and hairdryer. We also had a small fridge. No Tv, but we didn't want it, but good wi-fi. It was overall enough to sleep in and then go the nearby beach (you don't go to Salina to stay in your hotel room). Though our room was in the corner, on a side with no view over the sea, we had a little table and chairs outside our door - like every other room; and, in any case, the Hotel terrace with the gorgeous view is few metres away. The breakfast which was included in the price was more than we expected. Fresh fruit and fresh croissant, excellent cappuccino, espresso etc... cakes, granola, yogurt and much more. The water in Rinella was warm and perfectly clean (and contrary to other beaches around the island did not have too many tourist - swimming in the morning or before sunset a wonderful experience.) I will definitely book again when I go back to Salina (two days were too little to enjoy this jewel of an island)

Albergo Seaside: Great location, super friendly staff, wonderful breakfast, what not to like?

Firstly I recalled a previous review which explained how close the hotel was to the port. It is a great location a couple of minutes walk.
Mariella and her husband made me very welcome and the room was excellent, big, and comfortable.
An outstanding gesture was the surprise birthday gift I was given; it was a small token but very very appreciated.
The island itself is a lovely experience, the beach protected and the rest of the island worth a visit. Coming from Australia, I was fascinated with the brochure for the 2000 anniversary for Leni.
Food was excellent and the staff in all places I ate and had a drink were simply fantastic and all made an effort to cope with my poor Italian.
I had one bad experience at the Boutique Flora with a price gouging owner. Avoid this it is just across the road from the cap park near the church.

A trip to find my Italian family roots

I spent 5 days here in July and loved it. Rinella is tiny and before going I'd been a little concerned that I might find it too small but it was charming and perfect for a relaxing beach holiday.
The location is amazing - just up from the port and close to the bus stop for the bus that goes around the island (N.B. There's a Salina app that has various useful info such as the bus timetable.) Tip: on arrival at the port don't go along the front of the hotel to the left to the hotel sign as there are steep narrow steps. Instead go to the right where the Siremar office is and go up the steps to the piazzetta and turn left. There's a gate leading to hotel reception. 
Step out of the gate and you're in the little piazzetta with the alimentari and the wonderful bar Papero. A few minutes further on there are two pizzerie. It's just a few minutes to the black sand beach. From a distance the water looks black because of the sand but it's translucent.
The hotel has lots of terraces with outdoor furniture where you can relax and enjoy the lovely view of the sea out to Lipari and Vulcano. The room was large, comfortable and very clean. The owner Mariella is exceptionally kind and helpful. I enjoyed our chats.
Head to Pra' Venezia (15 mins walk) for spectacular views out to Lipari and Vulcano on one side and to Filicudi and Alicudi on the other from the belvedere. Great for sunset viewing. If you want to swim there the 'beach' is rocks so take shoes you can wear into the water. The boat 'Il Delfino' stopped there too for a swim which I preferred because you don't have to contend with the rocks.
