  Two days of total relaxation!

  10 Sept 2026

  Staying at Hotel Calabrisella was a simply fantastic experience. Since our arrival, we have been welcomed with unique warmth and friendliness, which immediately made us feel at home. The staff and management stand out for their great professionalism, constant availability, and sincere attention to every detail and every need of the guests.?The property is extremely well-maintained, clean, and immersed in a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unplugging and fully enjoying your vacation. The room, bright and comfortable, was always perfectly clean and equipped with every convenience.?An honorable mention undoubtedly goes to the cuisine: delicious dishes, prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients, with special attention to the authentic flavors of tradition. Every meal was a true journey into local flavors, from the rich and genuine breakfast to the dinners, which were always tasty and carefully plated.?The location is ideal for enjoying the sea and the beauties of the area in total comfort and tranquility. Everything was truly impeccable: we are taking home the memory of an enchanting vacation and the certainty that we will return as soon as possible. Highly recommended!

  Terrible, there are no words left!!

  Real review from Belarus.Vacationed for 7 days, September 2026.They took breakfasts and dinners.Who is going to go to this hotel with a child, don't even think about it.1. Let's start with breakfasts. You can take as much breakfast as you want, but there's not much to take.The same thing for 7 days in a row.The concept of soups and porridges in Italy, I think, does not exist.Breakfast consisted of sweet pastries, dry sausage, and various kinds of dry bread. Boiled eggs. Of the fruits, we saw only nectarines and watermelon in 7 days, and once a few grapevines.2. Dinners. Dinner is not a buffet, but you are given a paper printed on a printer and you have to choose one from two dishes. This is wild. One dish is pasta, the second dish is something like meat, but we haven't seen any decent meat in 7 days. The third course is salad. It says salad, but you don't know what kind of salad. They brought just sliced tomatoes on a plate with nothing, they call that a salad. But oh well, maybe I'm being picky. Let's go further, dinner at 8:00 PM, you sit and wait until 9:00 PM, maybe they will bring it, everything is on the brakes. While time passes, they offer to bring you some water, and we say bring it. Bring a bottle of still water. And when checking out of the hotel, they give you a paper, and there is still still water for 2.5 euros. How can I get 2 (euros for water) from a paid dinner? In total, over 7 days, there was pork meat only once, and it was not tasty. Mostly pasta and usually just with some sauce, that's it.In the nearest access on the territory of other hotels, there were restaurants with only pasta and pizza on the menu. Oven pizza, dough with melted cheese and olives on top. Again, it's a matter of taste.3. Beach. TRANSFER TO THE BEACH IS PAIDThe beach is about 1.2 km from the hotel. Initially, when we bought the tour, they told us there was a free transfer. When we arrived at the hotel, it turned out that the transfer for the day costs 15 euros; you are driven and given two sun loungers and an umbrella, which is included in the transfer. We thought we'd walk, but there's such a mountain there that it's impossible to climb back up at +33 degrees. simply unreal.There are no toilets on the beach, except for the toilets in the restaurants that you have to go to.There are no trash cans on the beach, all the trash cans are at the entrance to the beach on the way down, meaning you have to walk up for about 10 minutes to them.A shower to wash up for the whole beach and it costs 1 euro. There is just a pipe sticking out without any covers or anything, and water will come out of the pipe if you put in 1 euro. They constantly filled bottles to wash our feet when leaving the beach, feet in the sand. There are no changing rooms on the beach, keep that in mind. The daily pressure is intense. We constantly picked up trash after ourselves and threw it out at the beach exit. I imagine what's going on in the sea without a single toilet. There is dirt everywhere, papers are scattered, bottles and all kinds of trash.We are completely dissatisfied with the rest at this hotel, the service is zero, it's just not there, paid still water without gas with the paid dinner, are you serious???I do not recommend anyone coming here, never in my life, learn from other people's mistakes.

  We went as a group of four on a half-board plan. I want to highlight the quality and variety of the Calabrian dinner, truly spectacular! Excellent value for money. Huge pool and impeccable shuttle service to the sea! All the staff were absolutely friendly and helpful.I highly recommend it ?? Originally submitted in Italian on www.tripadvisor.it.

  The best holidays in my life

  05 Mar 2018

  I was in Calabrisella few times and i never compleined! Support is very kind and food so delicious. Everyone is ready to help you and show all the best in Calabria. In hotel you can buy trips to islands and cites which are close so you will never be bored. One minus is that swimingpool isn't so close to the hotel but it's very clean and you can spend there great time. They organize "Serata Calabrese" with typical food from that region and there is band who sing typical music. It's so fun and climatic!
