One of the Best Places To Visits in Briatico Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. I visited bar only, good view. The girl at the counter is always kind A great place to stay on the costa degli dei. The service was excellent , and the manager Francesca was welcoming and very helpful. Whatever you needed, she could help with. The rooms were pleasantly appointed and had good modern AC units. The beach was very clean and water clear. You can even use the facilities like umbrellas, kayak and paddleboat for free. Parking is secure and on site with a controlled gate. Very simple drive to also explore Tropea. Will be back ! The restaurant on site was great for breakfast ,lunch and dinner. This review must be seen from the viewpoint of Western European tourists (2 adults, 3 kids) Structurally, it’s a top-facility: the buildings are beautifull, the garden is beautifull and well-maintained, the rooms are very close to the private beach, the view is wonderfull, the beach is perfect with chairs, umbrellas and all kinds of water-toys for small kids and big kids :-) included. The restaurant on-site is open all day, and the quality of the food is good at a correct price. The rooms are normal in size, and they are properly cleaned when arriving. All this would lead to a 4 or 5 star review… but then, unfortunately, I must concur with other reviewers about the hotelmanagement that misses professionalism. Note that most of the following issues could easily be resolved very low-cost. * the dinner table inside the apartment is a lightweight plastic garden table with plastic chairs (come on!) * the closets in the bedrooms only had ‘hanging’ compartments, but what you need is shelves * the airco didn’t blow, so i cleaned the filter myself (that’s really very easy but hadn’t been done in ages), and then it worked properly * when 5 people book a room, why are there only 2 knives and 3 small spoons in the drawer? * ‘fully equipped kitchen’ – but it doesn’t have a cooker hood. So best not really use the stove… * WiFi: it’s there but it’s too weak, so useless * probably the worst of all: the state of the mattresses. I’m not going to go into detail, but they are old and there are no real hotel-grade mattress protectors covering them (only simple fitted sheets… don’t look under them!). Why did we? When 3 kids come, surely one of them will be wanting to sleep in the top bunkbed… but that wasn’t made ready. When 5 people rent a ‘deluxe-room’ for 9 nights (nine!), don’t be cheap and/or lazy and just make all 6 of the beds… come on! Why didn’t I discuss all this immediately? Because of the huge language barrier: it was quite hard to even have the simplest communication. I didn’t detect any effort from the hotel staff’s side (I speak English, French, and did my very best to speak some Italian). Conclusion: with some small investments, but above all a more professional hotelmanagement this place could easily be turned into a paradise (and a goldmine).
