Family-friendly holiday rentals in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica

Beautiful and cozy house with large indoor and outdoor spaces and a beautiful view of the sea, reachable on foot. Simone and her family were kind and courteous, from the moment of the reception until the departure. Recommended.

Apartment on the mezzanine floor in an area full of plants, flowers, swimming pool and relaxation area. Very well maintained and equipped with everything for cooking. Terrace for dining outside. The owner Ms. Ivana is very helpful and friendly. The house allows you to walk to the most beautiful beaches in Tropea. Recommended.

Very beautiful place, I would definitely go back, my wife and kids loved it. Everyone is super friendly. Tip: Stair master to prepare for the hike down the 200 plus steps to get to the beautiful beach and back up when you’re done (which we did and made a huge difference).

The apartment is perfect, with an outdoor pool. Great for family vacations and not.

A wonderful place...we highly recommend it!

Apartment is nicely furnished and spread over two floors with two bathrooms. On the ground floor is a double bedroom and a small bedroom with a bed with the possibility to set up a bunk bed. The kitchen is sufficiently furnished. A washing machine is provided, Wi-Fi is not provided. The apartment is centrally located on a small side street. The train station is not far away. However, the train traffic is not disruptive. You can hear the occasional train announcements from the train station. Overall, the stay was pleasant. Communication with the host was quick and straightforward.

We had an amazing time at Marasusa. The view from the garden and pool is wonderfull and we enjoyed spending time at the pool and watching stars from the terrasse. The apartment was clean and basic, some equipment needs to be renewed but all in all a great stay to explore the beautiful beaches and places in Kalabria.

I absolutely loved this stay! The location was perfect—peaceful and very close to beautiful beaches. The host was so kind and welcoming, and everything felt easy and comfortable. I truly wish I had stayed longer. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Carmela was helpful and very attentive, a property with a lovely garden. Our studio apartment had a terrace from which you could see the sea. The location of her apartment is truly strategic, allowing you to move around easily and reach both the beautiful city of Tropea and the various beaches around.

Carlo was an amazing host – very attentive and caring throughout our stay. The apartment had a stunning sea view and was located in the heart of a charming fishing district in Scilla. Everything was clean, cozy, and felt truly authentic. One of the best stays I’ve Ive ever had – absolutely top-notch!

Rocco's apartment is in a fantastic location in Scilla, with sea views and easy access to the whole town on foot. Do be prepared to do plenty of walking, including up and down the steps to the lungomare and Chianalea (but it is worth it!) The facilities in the apartment are fairly basic - the kitchen is small with just a 3 burner gas hob, no oven or microwave. However, we stayed there for 2 weeks and cooked the majority of our meals, which we were able to enjoy in the private 'garden room'. There were only 2 of us, so it was fine, but it would be difficult to cook for a larger party. Rocco is a very responsive and proactive host, and was able to help with transport to and from the station (thank you Carlo) and any queries. Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and would use this apartment again if we return to Scilla.

Great welcome. The welcome drink was really very nice. Rita Stella and her husband are really charming and welcoming hosts. The accommodation is clean, functional and quiet. The central location allowed us to go to the Ionian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, as well as to Reggio Calabria.

Great place in a great location. Roberta was very accommodating. I do recommend this place for your next vacation.

Wonderful location of the accommodation with sea views and very close to the center. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Owner available and easy to communicate. Thanks again, see you soon!

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful Tropea apartment. The balcony view was like a dream — watching the sunset each evening with our kids was unforgettable. Its location was perfect, just off Corso Vittorio Emanuele with plenty of dining options, and steps away from the beach and port. The apartment is spacious, tastefully decorated, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming. Highly recommended!

Luigi met us at check in. He did not speak English, but it worked. We had absolute privacy and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. We were greeted by birds every morning and a view to the sea. Unfortunately for us, many restaurants were closed for the season. However we were able to get into two with reservation. The apartment is located well next to the main piazza and parking in front of the building was easy. We stayed four nights with no regrets.

My friend and I arrived by train, and Vittoria picked us up in the car and took us straight to the house. The house matched Vittoria's descriptions and we had a great time. Vittoria is very kind and helpful, she welcomed us in a friendly way and was always available for anything. He also gave us various tips on where and what to visit and even advised us to rent a scooter for getting around, as the area is quite hilly and not flat. We were close to the sea and the beaches were just a short scooter ride away. Impeccable view from the house, you are surrounded by nature. There is also a swimming pool and a bar. It was really fantastic, Vittoria really welcomed us as if we were at home. Highly recommended for those who want to stay in Ricadi.

I stayed in Zambrone in a simply perfect apartment: clean, well furnished and in a strategic location, the view from the balcony was breathtaking! Host was very professional and helpful from the first contact, he was always ready to answer any questions. I had an issue during the stay, resolved in a short time. Unforgettable and at the same time relaxing vacation.

Annelis house is close to the beach and offers a marvelous view over the sea. Anneli is great and generous, she allowed as a really late checkout. Communication with her was absolutely easy and she always answered very fast. Since she wasn't around we were taken care of by Loraine who is lovely and who gave us a lot of useful informations. The house itself is enough big for a family with 4kids, the beds a comfortable and the kitchen offers everything you need. Off-season you have to drive a little bit to the next supermarket since there are not many people in the area, but on the other hand we were almost alone at the beach and that was worth it. We loved to be there and are hoping to come again soon.

Beautiful, well-kept and authentic place. Lovely garden and pool with beautiful and clean view. Actually 7 minutes from the beach by car. The owners were very welcoming and flexible , they also made us find groceries at home and gave us the vegetables from their garden and the fresh eggs from the chicken coop! We absolutely recommend the place! Nb: it's important to keep in mind that the other apartment that accommodates 5 people in the same property is just 5 meters from our rooms and the tables to eat in the garden a few meters from each other :so great for two families of friends looking to join for the holidays

All good, I recommend Caterina’s to everyone who wants to stay close to Tropea!

We really enjoyed the time at the place. Purposefully furnished, everything you need. Close to the sea, really great and very clean water at the end of May before the season. A restaurant within walking distance, the pizza there is great, but also the fish dishes. From 01.06, there is also a bar on the beach and on weekends the Jugaad Lounge is very cozy. The fact that we were right at the entrance gate of the house did not bother us. There are loungers and a beach umbrella. If you take the umbrella stand to the beach, nothing will fly away. There are great gelaterias and restaurants in Davoli max 10 min by car. We had perfect 7 days and only missed the pool a little, which should have been filled on 06/01. The people there and the fantastic landscape made up for it. ;-)

We were guests of Mr. Francesco alla Formaggera for a week. La Formaggera is located in a unique place for the landscape that surrounds it and a little enchanted by the saturated atmosphere of history that you can breathe in it. The house is simple, but delightfully furnished; the kitchen is well organized and equipped with everything you need and you can have lunch and dinner outside, cool. Far from the chaos, you can rest in the shade of the pines, surrounded by prickly pears and Calabra nature. The beautiful pool and its covered patio, much appreciated on warm days, are certainly a strong point. The sea is close and in the nearest town there are supermarkets and many other shops including the excellent Lagani dairy and the nearby pastry shop. The village of Badolato, a few kilometers away, is worth visiting.

Highly recommended for people who expect privacy. It’s a modest but Clean and comfortable apartment. All things in descrption were found inside although it takes a bit time to guess for example how to turn on THE washing machine ,THE oven or warm Water. Instructions from Valentina are however clean. You can chill outside with beautiful view of perfectly maintained garden and sea view . THE biggest plus is also Access to beautiful pool, water is clean and its pretty big, circa 18 metres of length. Valentina is very caring person and despite not being present in Calabria , she gives all details about check in, house rules , places to visit, where to eat or buy local cheese. That was very helpful for us and I’m sure without her tips we would be unaware of many things around.
