“Great Family Hotel in Calabria”

We are an international couple in their 30s, and we stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks as part of a last minute deal. The trip was so cheap that we were a bit concerned something must be dodgy, at least some detail. The hotel proved us wrong. All the staff made us feel at home, and we made friends with them - but they totally respected and knew, when you wanted to enjoy your privacy and quiet. Location/transport: We called ahead to have them pick us up from the airport Lamezia Terme. Even that our flight arrived early our driver Peppe was already there to greet us and get us to the hotel safely while introducing Calabria to us. On our way back we actually took the train from Lamezia Terme to Riccadi which is a great way to get to the hotel as well. This train is very convenient and cheap to get you to the nearby towns in Calabria, and it offers a great view as it rides along the coastline. Rooms/cleanliness/service: The rooms are basic, but well equipped with a fridge free of charge and a balcony. The rooms are cleaned daily. The hotel staff will go way and beyond to help you, if you talk to them. We got a ride from them almost everyday to some beach and even to some sights in the area for free! Food: We absolutely loved their typical Calabrian home-made dishes, which means a lot of grilled fish and meat, a lot of veggies and pasta everyday. Their house wine is über-decent! beaches/pool: The hotel swimming pool was totally nice, so are their pool and fusball table and we enjoyed playing table tennis as well. The nearest beach is about 10 minutes walk where the hotel put up sun umbrellas and sun chairs for their guests. entertainment: The hotel had their own team of entertainers who did a great job of organizing fun and games after dinner, while finishing up in decent time, so nobody got disturbed who wanted to sleep during the night. This place is very kids-friendly, children get the rockstar-treatment here! We highly recommend this hotel to everybody who likes a personal touch in service and who wants to have an authentic Calabrian experience to travel there with an open mind and come back with lots of good memories. We thought that it's also a great place for families with kids who don't want to travel around the area much, but relax on-site. We would like to thank all the hotel staff (we know all their names, but won't mention them here, you will have to find out for yourselves!) for the great time we had and we feel very lucky we were able to spend our time with them in their beautifu country.

“Hôtel à se méfier de l'annexe”

Bonjour, Nous sommes arrivés dans cet hôtel ou ils nous ont installés dans une chambre dans l'annexe. Il fallait traverser la route général pour aller dans l'annexe. C’était une chambre horrible avec une odeur d'humidité et très petite. Après avoir passer une nuit dans cette chambre nous avons eu une chambre dans l’hôtel même. Je pense qu'il faut faire attention lorsque vous allez dans cette hôtel à préciser que vous ne voulez pas l'annexe. Hôtel convient plus à uns famille avec des enfants, car animation est superbe, le repas aussi. Par contre, la plage est à 1km de la mer et le chauffeur de le navette est un chauffeur italien....
