The hotel is at the end of some bad roads toward the sea just south of Sibari off the main highway between Reggio Calabria and Taranto. It is a nice hotel, quite uniquely constructed: rooms are situated on the hotel roof and radiate off separate halls. The owner/operator was a really nice man who was very hospitable and seemed genuinely caring. He recommended an excellent seafood restaurant my first night, Lido Aurora, where I had two meals, It was close and so good. The owner also got up really early on the morning of my leaving to make coffee for me and offer me breakfast and that was so beyond the call and so appreciated. The room, though small, was immaculate and maid-service occurred every day. If you're going to the area of Sibari, this hotel is an excellent option especially for couples.

My main gripe was with the internet which worked for just a few hours at the beginning and then the end of my stay. The signal was never strong and I might as well have been without it for my whole stay. That just won't do. In this day and age, every hotel/apt/etc. simply MUST have good WiFi service. Then again the road surfaces in and out of the place were really bad and I worried about my car's axles every time I drove to and from the hotel. (Never mind the drivers coming the other way on those roads!) The breakfast was just so-so.

What an amazing place and superb value for money. A little difficult to locate st night but get the longitude and latitude coordinates and its easy. The owner, Franco, is a lovely guy, very friendly and helpful. Very quiet place and good size bedroom, all in all great.

Had a hard time finding it, but it was an incredibly quiet place very close to an empty beach, that would make it a 10+++ in warm weather months.

Comfortable bathroom, nice location

Attentive staff. Food at dinner. Free parking.

Place was deserted, almost as if it had closed down. Just 4 guests. Looked like they had opened just for us. A bit spooky. Bathroom door lock on the wrong way round, so could only lock from outside IF there had been somewhere in the frame for the lock to slot. That had been drilled into the door, not the frame! Breakfast didn't live up to the pictures on Booking.com, very little available.

I like that the hotel was in the middle of nowhere. I had envisaged a nice relaxed weekend with lots of walking, running and relaxing by the sea. I was able to do all of that. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the airconditioning a blessing. The owners were also very nice. The breakfast somewhat lacking but was good enough for me

The only thing that bothered me was the event area next door. The owners told me that they are not very often but on each might there was an event with very loud music. If you close the venetian blinds and windows, it does block the sound a lot but i also had to wear earplugs to get a good night sleep. The owners seemed to suggest that some guests enjoy it.

Don't believe the photos on this hotel's site. This may have been a flash hotel 50 years ago but it is now run down and needing a good clean. The listing states there's a restaurant on site - it's closed. It states both Italian and English are spoken by the staff - it was only Italian with a translator app. The breakfast looked nothing like the photos, but that's probably because only three rooms were filled that night. The bed was uncomfortable and the shower curtain had mould on it. The man was trying his best - I'm guessing he's a one man show working for management. Considering it's coming into peak season, the pool was empty except for green slime. The TV remote didn't work because it was missing a battery - and you couldn't run the fridge and the TV at the same time as there was only one socket to plug into.
