Where to stay in Praia a Mare

This is our second visit but our first time since they had to make changes due to Covid-19. All of the new things make a lot of since and seem to work well. The only thing that's different that needs work is the food. It is no longer a buffet offering for dinner. It is a set course menu and they did not have a children's option. Breakfast also has less of a selection. Other then that everything was...

Well position for those who like a nice walk into town, the beach is a pebble beach, however, if you explore you can find sandier ones. The rooms are clean, the cleaning staff are very polite and helpful too. There sometimes can be a hefty queue at reception, but again, the staff make you feel at ease and do their best to help you have a great holiday. The only downer could be the food, yet......

Lovely hotel on the beach in Praia a mare. Has out door pool, large restaurant, open for new year also! A plus around this area where most are closed after oct! It us next to s water park which can be a but noisy one side of the hotel.

Beautiful views. Delicious food and wine. Great animators, a lot of dancing. Clean, stylish and comfortable room.

Would you really experience what is the living melted with Calabria typical way of life? Well. You are in the right place. You might not agree with some of their attitudes. In the end just let yourself be guided by natives' wisdom. You will not regret.

Bella la struttura, ben curata con molti alloggi per tante esigenze. Molto verde presente e ben curato. La struttura è facile da raggiungere.

This is a perfect place for a family chillax. What struck me the most is this group of young entertainers (animators) led by CIRO who are actually the unsung heroes. They are very professionals and they do their tasks with so much passion . Ciro is like a trooper. Full of enthusiasm and energy and so are the rest of the group. Their theatrical skit "sketch" are really funny. Their chemistry as a group...

All Italian campsite with the main focus on the appartments/ bungalows. Close to a beautiful beach. The campsite is mainly occupied with caravans of year round guests. You have to pay €4 per person to use the swimmingpool (nice and big), it is closed between 2 and 4. Free wifi. Free Camping train to the beach, €7,50 for a sunbed and umbrella. Loud entertainment at the pool, the restaurant and across...

Hearty breakfast with a varied assortment especially on desserts. The green space is well cared for and the swimming pool is very nice with large shaded areas, with deck chairs and...

EXCELLENT KITCHEN WITH IDEM BREAKFAST. FRIENDLY AND EDUCATION FROM THE DIRECTOR TO THE WHOLE STAFF. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR.

I stayed here with my husband and two daughters, in a suite room with a beautiful view of the sea and Dino Island. We had a great time, well received and pampered with a good welcome cocktail. Excellent breakfast, nothing is missing, crepes, Pan cakes, all types of milk, croissants, cakes ... in short, you can't go fasting. The waiter always available for any kind of help. We weren't able to dine in...

Really a nice find! I was looking for a hotel for a week's vacation for my mother and my sister, a nice, comfortable place where you could eat well and after several searches I came across the "I Normanni" hotel. I read some reviews, saw photos of other users and then contacted the property. I immediately noticed the availability and kindness of the Director who managed to satisfy all our needs. The...

We were guests with the family for a week in August. It is the fourth time that we have come to this small hotel (there are 12-13 rooms). Each time we are amazed by the welcome of the director Olivio and of each member of the staff. They are ready to meet every need. It's like being a guest of friends who were just waiting for you to come and spend some time with them. The cuisine is excellent. The...

We have chosen to spend a week, with the whole family, in full board at this property, in July 2022. Here, we were able to ascertain how kind, helpful, professional, welcoming were all those who carry on this beautiful structure, from the manager (who is also the owner) to the person in charge of the reception, to the dining room staff, up to Mr. Enzo. who accompanied us with the shuttle to the beach...

It was a great pleasure to stay in Hotel Normans. There is a fantastic view from our room, where it is possible to see the sea, the beach and the island of Dino. Also we had a great dinner based on fish. The price are non expensive and the receptionist were very welcoming.

Hotel in an excellent position for both the beach and the city centre. Equipped with free and free parking. Friendly and efficient staff. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds and...mythical bathroom...brand new. The quality breakfast, there is no savory food but I think it is not a tradition in the area... Satisfying desserts and drinks. What can I say...thank you Nicoletta and Eleonora, precise, punctual...

The hotel has an excellent central location and the lobby looks very good. However, most of the rooms are dated, from the 60s, it has no parking included, a savory breakfast with fruit for a fee, no swimming pool and is evidently let go. 1. If you ask the hotel for information, the staff will refer you to their website, inviting you to make the reservation yourself. In this way, however, it is easy...

Excellent. Everything was perfect. Nice staff, clean rooms, perfect location and a delicious breakfast. I’ll come back and I’ll recommend staying here.

I had excellent service despite the low season, courteous and kind staff .. I know the area well and there are very few such facilities, parking possibilities, parking space very close to the sea, admirable hotel facade makes a beautiful 'effect on arrival .. I took the room on the sea side excellent .. thank you very much ..

Wonderful resort, well located in Praia. All the services work perfectly and the staff is extremely kind and available for anything. Shows for kids during the evening and beautiful swimming pool with wonderful view. Best place to stay in Praia!

Beautiful resort in an amazing location. The staff are very friendly and the place is kept very clean. I enjoyed the bar and the pool. Also it's located very close to the sea. If you are staying in Praia, you should stay here.

Mixed emotions. One part fine on the other hand some surprises like very loud and sanitary environment not clean.

A nice and modern hotel near the sea in Praia. The restaurant was amazing with a great staff, very helpful and ready to assist us at any time. The food was fresh and delicious, well cooked and very well prepared. Absolutely recommend it for a pleasant stay near the beach.

A great stay, the hotel offers a great quality - price ratio on the full pension. The quality of the food is remarkable and the staff is helpful and skilled.

This is a perfect place for a family chillax. What struck me the most is this group of young entertainers (animators) led by CIRO who are actually the unsung heroes. They are very professionals and they do their tasks with so much passion . Ciro is like a trooper. Full of enthusiasm and energy and so are the rest of the group.

in the meantime let's say that the new managers have recently taken over the structure (July) and I, being a professional, I think that the new managers will be able to bring the structure to high levels the excellent breakfast the priceless cleanliness the beautiful structure view silence to sleep what to say all at the top all family-friendly we will be back and we hope that they will also open the...

Very kind and helpful staff. Based on the reviews I would say the breakfast is overrated, lacks variety and quantity. Nice structure, shame about the lack of small precautions, such as a bottle of water in the room, mini-bar, waste bins and ashtrays in the relaxation area, stained bedspread

Fantastic experience in this hotel, starting from the welcome at the hotel by the staff and especially by Francesca. The rooms are very clean and simple, everything is in perfect working order. The hotel has a beautiful structure, a beautiful view and is positioned in a good point that allows you to reach the beach in 5 minutes. Next door is the hotel restaurant "Il Vecchio Frantoio" where you will...

Beautiful residence with many modern and fairly large houses that have amenities such as air conditioning, very bright outdoor lights and electric shutters. Good windows with a sea view. The only flaw of the houses is that they are too close to the swimming pool, but the residence is still very very quiet. The services work well with the shuttles on time and which take you to the sea in 5 minutes....

well-kept and well-kept residence, spacious and comfortable apartments, dedicated parking, the first floor overlooking the sea is recommended for suggestive panoramas with a view from a diamond chamber, air conditioning only in the dining room but the area is cool and dry. shuttle to lido included not exceptional but comfortable, very enjoyable swimming pool in the residence. to improve wifi did not...

Beautiful place located on a hill from which you can be enchanted by the vision of the sea of ​​Praia and in particular of the island of Dino. From our apartment, the largest of the residence with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, you can enjoy a magnificent sunset. Residence excellent for services and cleaning in particular. Private Lido used by the well-kept Residence and in a beautiful location and...

We felt at home. Spacious apartment also great for 2 children! Parking in front of the apartment is a great convenience. The shuttle service with private beach is very good. The pool is not suitable for younger children, but it suits us. The residence is neat and clean. The staff all very kind. Maybe I would review times for a bit of things, for example the baby dance at 9.45pm seems a bit late even...

Congratulations to all of the components of the residence, the sun, the moon,a great welcome and lots of fun.

Short and concise... optimal solution x families x young couples. Well maintained, and insiders owners always available x every need. In short, an ideal place x to spend the holidays. I highly recommend the residence sun the moon.

We stayed for a week and enjoyed it. The entertainers are the soul of this village, together with the kitchen department all very nice and friendly. The view from the village located just below the mountain is excellent. It takes 5/10 minutes to go to the beach. The rooms are equipped with TV, mini bar and A / C The kitchen offered us different and often typical local dishes every day. Excellent value...

We stayed for a week. Hotel with a beautiful view, room with all comforts (Only the bathroom needs to be reviewed) Excellent cuisine (Only some oversights from the waiters) The hotel's location is located at an altitude, so it is not easy to reach the coast on foot. But it has in its environment a private swimming pool for its guests, a flaw was caused by the lack of deckchairs in proportion to the...

We were guests of this structure from 21 to 28 August. Well what about ... Breathtaking view, very kind staff, impeccable cleanliness, excellent food. A special thanks to the animation guys Vladimir, Ciccio (Vincenzo) and Teresa who made our son's holiday fantastic ... You were great ... We hope to see you again soon😘

Probably the top in praia a mare, we stayed at this property for 7 days. The hotel is stunning, from the view as soon as you park your car to view during lunch and dinner. The food is great, especially the fish menus. The staff is very kind and always available for anything. Excellent shuttle service and entertainment. To come back or to try. 10/10

We were guests in the B&B al Vecchio Pioppo. We found ourselves very well, the owners very helpful and attentive to the cleanliness, care and hospitality of the customers. They offer a hearty breakfast. Ideal location, near the center and the sea, where you can get there on foot. I recommend it for a quiet and relaxing stay. In the evening you can feel a bit of action, but that's part of the beauty...

I was, with my husband, at the Vecchio poplar over the weekend, I tried several times to go there after the last stay about 4 years ago. We finally succeeded and it was like at the home of a friend or relative you are very attached to. Coming back was nice as always with Gaetano's welcome that makes you feel at ease. The environment is beautiful and very nice, clean and fragrant breakfast with all...

My new friend Jessica Andrews of the Italian Vacation Specialist suggested I stay in Praia a Mare with her friends Gaetano and Antonella for a true Calabrian experience. My stay at Il Vecchio Pioppo for an unexpected 10 days was wonderful. Gaetano and Antonella took great care to show me around this area of Calabria with care, warmth and open generosity. Highlights included cooking with Antonella...

Wonderful B&B in a historic house. Gaetano and his family went above and beyond to make our stay special. I hope we can come back soon!

Last September we had our wedding at the beautiful Castello di Praia, I can not say just how wonderful and special it was! The team on site is AMAZING!!! Antonio went above and beyond, we could not have asked for anything better. If you’re thinking about a visit, go. You definitely won’t be disappointed.

Amazing and unique location to spend some time. The nicest people you would ever want to meet run the castle hotel B&B. They can even arrange a special dinner for you in the castle dining room if you provide advance notice. Great location, very easy to find and to park if you are exploring the area.

Our stay here in January was one of the most memortable nights of our trip! Antonio was so fun to talk to, and when we arrived he immediately offered to give us a full tour of his castle! The sight is spectacular, and the interior decor and layout is very unique. When he showed us how he had transformed the old animal stable into the master sweet, we were amazed. He then upgraded us into the suit...

This place is spectacular! The rooms and the view are so much more beautiful than you would ever imagine, really breathtaking. The outside has a rustic flair with a lovely big garden leading to the main door. From the patio and the rooftop terrace, apartfrom the rooms, you have an amazing view over the bay. The owners are among the nicest and most honest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet...
