The kids will sleep soundly after frolicking by the water at Formicoli Beach. Hunt for fish and other marine life, dip a toe in the water or kick a ball around!

Located in Santa Domenica, this stretch of coastline is well worth a look. But you'll find loads more to see and do in the area. Santa Maria dell'Isola Monastery, Tropea Beach, and Rotonda Beach are within close reach of Formicoli Beach.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (184 reviews)

I normally do not write reviews; but, wanted to for this hotel. It is a small quaint hotel. It actually has a small pool and hot tub with incredible views. It is actually located in Vezio right outside of Varenna. At first, I was concerned about the location from Varenna. However, Rita the proprietor made sure we had transportation from the train station as well as to and from all of our points of interest. We seriously wanted for nothing. Rita and the staff made sure all our needs were taken care of. She even cooked us lasagna dinner herself when the local restaurant was closed. I have stayed in many hotels but never received this level of hospitality. We actually would say and continue to say where is “Rita” because this would not happen. She took care of every need and would not let us be without a ride, food, umbrella, etc. If you are planning to visit this area you will not regret staying at the Hotel Diffuso il Portichetto. Rita and her staff will treat you like family! I can’t wait to go back!!
