Reviews and Ratings
I felt the rooms were really spacious and comfortable at this hotel, which was a nice touch. They were very clean, and even though the hotel seemed empty, they put us up front. On the downside, the location was quite far from the city center, which wasn’t practical without a car.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with a nice view of the sea and a wee balcony, very comfortable and clean. The service is extremely friendly and problem-solving oriented, including convenient pick-up and drop-off services. The location is great, with superb views of the Ionian Sea but may be impractical without a car. The dining experience may not meet high expectations but is available at an additional cost. The facilities are well-maintained.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spotless and the balcony views were spectacular. Being upgraded to a spacious and comfortable junior suite made the experience even more special, although I wished they had assigned us a room towards the front of the hotel instead of the empty areas. The service provided, especially by Claudio, was top-notch and extremely helpful, making my stay truly enjoyable. The location, just outside Catanzaro Lido, was perfect for exploring neighboring towns and beaches with a hire car. However, not being practical without a car was a downside. The dining experience left much to be desired, with overpriced breakfast options that were below par for Italy. Despite this, the facilities were great, and the views overlooking the Ionian Sea were stunning.
