Location

Parked just a quick drive from all the action in Vibo Valentia, there’s no faffing about when you fancy dipping into local shops, buzzing eateries or handy cafés. With the bus stop just 500 metres away, zipping over to Vibo Valentia station is a doddle, and Lamezia Terme International Airport is only 34.2 kilometres down the road—handy for all the jet-setters! The showstopper here is Costa degli Dei, boasting a mahoosive 55 km stretch of beaches, scenic towns (Pizzo Calabro, Briatico, Zambrone, Tropea, Ricadi… the whole A-list!) and proper good views of the Aeolian islands. Vibo Marina beach waits just 8 km away, calling for splashy good times and a spot of sunbathing, with plenty of wild coves and charming coastal bits to explore.

Rooms

Take your pick of 120 roomy, stylish pads decked out with air-con, satellite telly, a minibar for your late-night nibbles, and a balcony ripe for ogling those swish views. WiFi is sorted in the lobby for all your Insta brags, and some rooms give you access to it right from your bed—smashing! Kiddos tagging along? There’s a cot option for pint-sized snoozers. With fresh, modern touches thanks to a recent sprucing up, every corner is set for top-tier comfort and lazy lie-ins.

Food & Drink

Feel free to loosen your belt! You’ll get a bangin’ selection at the restaurant thanks to a menu packed with Mediterranean treats, global faves, veggie delights, and gluten-free goodies—all ace for tricky tummies. Breakfast? Sweet, savoury and absolutely yummy—buffet style, of course. If you fancy lighter bites or a cheeky tipple, the bar and café sort you out in a flash. No one goes hungry, and there’s always something proper tasty on tap.

Sports & Entertainment

Leisure time is sorted with a jumbo terrace sporting a pool and snazzy sun-lounging zone—prime for splashing about or catching rays while scoping out the Mediterranean. If the weather’s playing up or you’re after a change of scene, dive into the indoor freshwater pool for year-round fun. Both spots are ace for a mellow afternoon or some quality time with your crew, whether you’re after a grown-up chill or a splashy mini-adventure.

Distance From Major Transportation Hubs

Lamezia Terme International Airport is a handy 34.2 kilometres away, so you’ll be checking in about half an hour after landing. For rail and bus travellers, you’ll find a bus stop a nippy 500 metres away servicing Vibo Valentia station—pretty spot on for getting about stress-free.
