Our stay at Hotel Sella Maria was truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive – always ready to assist with anything we needed. Their warm and professional attitude created a truly personal and relaxed atmosphere. A very special thank-you goes to Stella, the manager – she is absolutely wonderful! Always cheerful, kind, and full of positive energy. You can really feel that she cares deeply about her guests and her hotel. And we can’t say enough good things about Diana, the bartender – she is simply amazing! Warm, fun, and always in a great mood – she made every visit to the bar a pleasure. The hotel is extremely clean, with great attention to detail in every corner. Our room was beautifully decorated, very spacious and comfortable, and we felt at home right away. The room service was excellent – always on time, respectful, and reliable. The pool area is stunning – a perfect place to relax, cool off, and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether we were swimming or just lying in the sun, it felt like a private little paradise. The hotel’s location is also ideal: centrally located and just a short walk to the beach. Everything you need – restaurants, shops, and the sea – is right there. What made this stay truly special was how cared for we felt. Hotel Sella Maria isn’t just a place to sleep – it’s a place where you feel genuinely welcome and appreciated, almost like being part of a family.

“I had an amazing one-night stay at this hotel! For the price, I was genuinely impressed by the quality. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a fantastic pool area that had cozy beanbags for lounging in the sun. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The room was clean, simple, and perfect for a quick stopover. If you’re looking for great value with a relaxing vibe, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely stay again!

I had a great stay at this hotel! Everything was clean and well maintained, and the location was perfect just a 5 minute walk to the beach and 2 minutes to the city center. The pool was very clean and well kept, which made the experience even better. Excellent value for money. The owner was very kind, and I want to give special thanks to Diana at the front desk she was incredibly sweet and always happy to help with anything I needed. Highly recommended!

The property was in perfect place for people coming to party and sleep. When the balcony door is shut you can barely hear the noise. The staff are the absolute best, extremely friendly and easy going. I would recommend this hotel for everybody coming to have fun. 5 stars.

This property would probably not be best suited for family with young children looking for quiet place, this is a party town.

The staff was very polite, and they checked us in hours ahead of the check-in time. The hotel is very clean and they kept on cleaning the rooms each day. Great position, 1 minute away from restaurants and markets. Nice pool area, with tables and sun chairs. All rooms have balconies. I highly recommend the hotel.

The doors of the rooms are kinda old and they don't close up properly so the wind makes them shake and constantly make noise. The cable TV didn't work, so no TV for a week. If other guests are a bit loud, you can hear everything through the walls. They had no working bar or restaurant when we were there. But all of this things are minor and didn't make our stay any less enjoyable.

Only problem was the shower, one of the heads didn’t work and the attachment for the body shower was broken. Asked to get it fixed but it wasn’t so it was quite annoying to shower holding the head trying to not get water everywhere. Other than that the hotel was good.

Stella Maria Hotel is a very nice hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here. We also opted for breakfast, which is simple, but good. We received clean towels everyday. The hotel it’s located in a quite place. Also, it’s very close to the beach. You have a lot of restaurants nearby and you can take a walk if you want to go in old town (which I totally recommend it). The host is very nice and she can give you more advices on what to do or where to eat nearby. Thank you, Stella Maria! ❤️

In some nights there was a little bit of noise, because of some teenagers who were staying in the hotel. But in the end it was ok. They were just having fun.

Very clean, great location, balconies for all rooms, polite and helpful staff, great value for money.

No working TV channels, thin walls so you can hear conversations from hallway and next rooms, old doors, not closing properly.

Everything was clean, regularly checked and overall good location close to the center and the beach

Could be better sound barriers between the rooms or hallways, the doors felt like paper thin, although they were not.
