Marine Protected Area Capo Rizzuto Vacations from $1,326

This place looked like an old hotel that we probably bumped into this very year in a stepping-stone period towards its becoming a proper boutique hotel (perhaps I will go back next year to double check). As a matter of fact the reception was stunning but once you get in your room you have the feeling of having being trown in some kind of B&B that needs a lot of refurbishing asap. Staff was indeed very kind and professional (we left at 6.30 am and they were nice enough to make some breakfast one hour in advance); although it was not mentioned (I thought parking was free), by paying 15 Euros per night you even get a valet (Massimo or Matteo, very nice guys) and your own parking space. Seaside is 1 min walk, and the lido in front of the hotel rents boats which was a bonus (approx. 100-150 Euros plus fuel for one equipped with a MERCURY FourStroke 40 EFI 3 cyl. to keep the whole day). Ideal to visit Arco Magno and Isola di Dino to say the least, the brave can go towards Maratea also.

Great location for families. Quiet, pristine clean.

Super friendly staff. Accommodating. Great breakfast!
