Praia Art Resort - Small Luxury Hotels of the world

Posizione splendida, praticamente sulla spiaggia. Camere comode e pulite. Colazione di qualità.

Kleine sehr ruhige anlage abseits jeden trubels. Wir sind zum 3. mal hier und genießen die zurückgezogenheit und den allerbesten privaten strand der ganzen umgebung.

Das hotel hat mit den jahren insgesamt etwas nachgelassen, ist jedoch immer teurer geworden.

locația direct pe plajă ...

La struttura è perfettamente integrata con la natura e presenta un accesso al mare meraviglioso!

Nulla

Szép strand, tisztaság, nyugodt környezet.

Luxusnak nem luxus, nem beszélnek angolul a személyzet tagjai. Az szálloda éttermében sokat kell várni és sokszor a rendelt ételek nagy része lemarad.

Excellent hotel on the beach, good food. Nice to have your own sun bed on the beach, very beautiful and comfortable rooms. We highly appreciated the bath on our terrace!

Nothing

Colazione favolosa e struttura impeccabile. Tutto curato nei minimi dettagli, con un servizio attento e un’atmosfera davvero piacevole. Un’esperienza assolutamente da consigliare..

Ristorazione di alto livello sia per il colazione sia per la cena, con piatti di ottima qualità sia per materia prima che per preraprazione. Spiaggia ben curata e molto comoda con un mare fantastico soprattutto alle prime luci del giorno. Pulizia della location e della stanza di buon livello con camera confortevole e ben organizzata.

A seguito di diversi black-out occorsi nella serata di domenica 2 agosto ho trovato assolutamente non sicuro la mancanza assoltua di luci di emergenza per illuminare (come per legge) le vie di esodo soprattutto molto grave la mancanza di illuminzione intorno alla piscina con il rischio che se qulacuno camminava in prossimità della stessa poteva caderci dentro riportando gravi conseguenze. nonostante la cortesia e professionalità del personale presente i sistemi domotici hanno impedito la ripartenza del condizionamento. Sicuramente quanto accaduto merita la dovuta attenzione da parte della proprietà e della gestione per un significativo miglioramento della struttura per la gestione delle emergenze soprtattutto visto che il cambiamento climatico potrà comportare sempre più nel futuro queste situazioni

Tutto bello

La posizione

Le stanze venivano sistemare molto tardi quasi nel primo pomeriggio. Essendo nel verde in camera c'erano lucertole gechi ed altro.

Servizio ottimo con Francesco metre formidabile che guida lo staff perfettamente

Dire impeccabile

Posizione spiaggia ristorante

Manca punto di ritrovo serale dopo cena

Tutto

Il cibo

Frühstück war super, Meer traumhaft

Beim Essensangebot am Abend fehlt eine vegetarische Auswahl

Het hotel heeft alles om er volledig tot rust te komen. Kwaliteit in inrichting en vooral ook in ontbijt en restaurant.Werkelijk niets viel tegen

Niks valt tegen en personeel doet uiterste best aan receptie aan strand en vooral Francesco uiterst professioneel en altijd klaar om te helpen

Colazione ottima a bordo piscina molto piacevole, bella spiaggia, ristorante comodissimo e atmosfera rilassante. Personale gentilissimo.

Camera un po’ buia, ristorante a pranzo con prezzi alti.

Schöne und gepflegte Anlage

Das Essen im Restaurant könnte Abwechslungsreicher sein

Tutto!

Niente!

un piccolo paradiso in una parte di costa calabrese sullo ionio stupenda! il personale e’ stato tutto davvero gentilissimo, merita citare come responsabili Francesco che governava tutto il ristorante e lo chef campano Antonio che ci ha deliziato in maniera stupenda in questi 5 giorni di sogno. la spiaggia e’ ben attrezzata con baldacchini e sedie a sdraio e con bagnini che assicurano tranquillita’ per tutto il periodo. il bar sulla spiaggia e’ inoltre comodissimo e ben fornito. noi siamo stati nella stanza 203 , una deluxe, e lo std e la pulizia della camera e del bagno e’ sempre stata ottima. grande attenzione ai prodotti locali, alla sostenibilita’ (la struttura aderisce alla politica plastic free) e tutto il persoanle ci ha fatto davvero stare bene.

niente da segnalare

Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück wurde am Tisch serviert. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und erfüllte jeden Wunsch. Prima regionale Produkte und vieles aus eigener Herstellung. Auch der Lunsch war erstklassig, Francesco hat alles im Griff und die Küche bekommt auch ein großes Lob. Die Strandbar mit Blick aufs Meer, super. Sehr langer Strand.

Dass der Strand in der Umgebung unter dem allgemeinen Müll leidet. Dafür kann das Hotel nichts.

Ristorazione, accoglienza e servizi

Colazione scarsa per qualità e quantità delll’offerta. Non adeguata a una struttura che viene proposta come struttura a 5 stelle. Optional proposti a pagamento: due pancake proposti a 8€!!!!

La colazione. La posizione della stanza: poco illuminata, tetto basso. Il mare sporco . La piscina sorvolata dai colombi che la utilizzano come abbeveratoio e per i loro bisogni..

One of the best beach! Cristal clear water! Very relaxing- top notch and friendly staff thank you all for the warm welcoming! Most comfortable beds! Great food ! Very unique place. This is on hidden gem in the Calabrian sea!

Staff and service were exceptional. Special shout out to Luce at front desk and Raffaele at the restaurant

The breakfast included was continental. You had to pay extra for eggs, omelets or pancakes.

Der Strand ist sehr schön und auch, dass es für jedes Zimmer eine Gabana gibt. Getränke wurden ebenfalls an den Strand gebracht. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und täglich frische Handtücher, auch Bademäntel sind vorhanden. Cocktails am Abend.

Die Auswahl an Eierspeisen zum Frühstück ist vielfältig, aber man muss wissen, dass man dafür zusätzlich bezahlen muss. Die Auswahl im Restaurant für Lunch und Abendessen ist übersichtlich und teuer.

Super petit déjeuner, un régal ! La tranquillité , un personnel super, à notre écoute et au petit soins !!! Bar animé et resto super bon! L’hôtel est magnifique et était parfait pour nos trois jours de repos !

Franchement je n’ai rien à dire…

Personnel aimable mais un peu débordé

We are on a Puglia and Calabria road trip and Praia Art was our second stop, from the moment we arrived everything was professionally done, our luggage was taken care of, we had a warm and friendly greeting, welcome drink by the beautiful beach and sea was a very nice touch, great recommendations for where to visit, all of this before we entered our beautiful sea view suite. We stayed three nights and wish we had stayed longer. The cabana you are given at check in becomes yours for the duration of the stay so it’s very easy to come and go on the beach as you please. All the staff are exceptionally well trained, new staff in the restaurant eager to please too. We ate in the restaurant every night and the food and wine and prices were all excellent. The staff are warm and friendly and this rubs off on hotel guests with people chatting and welcoming. Breakfast buffet is a little slow as you need to select your food, but no real hardship. Checkout was easy and straightforward. We would confidently recommend this hotel to our friends and family and we will be back for sure.

Fantastic.

Der Strand sowie der Frühstücksbereich war sehr schön gestaltet. Das Essen im Strandrestaurant war sehr gut. Leider hatte das Michelin Restaurant nicht geöffnet. Das Frühstück konnte man sich nicht nehmen, sondern man musste sagen, was man wollte aus dem reichhaltigen Angebot. Dies führte manchmal zu Wartezeiten. Dadurch werden natürlich weniger Speisen weggeworfen. Nicht alle Früh stücksangebote (Lachs, Ham and Eggs) sind inkludiert. Diese müssen extra bezahlt werden.

Es handelt sich um eine Ferienanlage mit privaten Wohnungen und das Hotel vefindet sich am Ende einer langen Strasse. Wir hatten zuerst ein Zimmer (Nr 126), welches, prinzipiell sehr schön gestaltet war. Leider befand sich daneben ein privates Appartement und man hörte die Waschnaschine bzw die Badezimmergeräusche extrem. Das Hotel gab uns daraufhin am nächsten Tag einen neues Zimmer und wir haben ein Upgrade auf eine Suite erhalten. Leider war bei diesem Zimmer die Dusche undicht und wir hatten einen nassen Fleck an der Wand des Schlafzimmers, welcher deutlich sichtbar war. Durch kntensives Lüften unsererseits hat sich die Situation verbessert. Das Personal war bemüht, aber nicht immer sehr aufmerksam. Es gab einige Lichtblicke, vielen Dank an Rafaele, Patricia und Francesco vom Strand.

Le service au restaurant

Great resort! Good location,Fancy, Quiet, We enjoyed our stay our quarters was a suite with a bath located outside the room. excellent food!

Cuidado hotel que se compone de casitas-apartamentos rodeados de estupendos jardines. Tiene una buena piscina entre los pinos que le dan sombra, y delante una playa con su bar-restaurante y tumbonas balinesas. El desayuno es estupendo y los servicios correctos.

La iluminación del baño es muy escasa (en la nuestra solo un foco lateral) Los precios del bar demasiado elevados.

Unico elemento positivo la cena la ristorante e la cordialità dello staff

Colazione con prodotti scadenti e non adatti ad una struttura 5 stelle, stanza cieca e pulizia della piscina assolutamente da rivedere!

Our experience at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms are decorated with great taste and artistic flair ,truly impressive. The housekeeping staff did an outstanding job, everything was spotless. On the other hand, the restaurant and room service could use some improvement, especially during breakfast. Honestly, I was going to give 4 stars, but I’m adding a fifth one for the hotel boutique, which felt like a small museum. The gentleman there introduced us to all the local products with detailed explanations and great attention to detail. We would have loved to take the boat tour, but it was a bit windy on our last day, so we decided to save it for our next visit — and we’ll definitely be back!!😊

Tout était formidable, les équipements, la gentillesse du personnel La plage et ses équipements, le bar et le restaurant …

Difficile d’émettre une critique

well finished rooms, great materials and calming atmosphere. Professional 5-star staff. Lovely cocktail beach bar

1. breakfast operations. In line standing, 30 min wait, furious tourists. Not a great way to start the day 2. restaurant. I get it, you may want to meet the taste of most tourists from Northern Europe. Still, it s Calabria so use oil, salt, chili pepper and oven-baked bread.

Hotel Room: Our room was spotless and very well maintained. The housekeeping was excellent, and the beds were absolutely fantastic – large, comfortable, and perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The only minor issue was with the outdoor lighting, but this was fixed immediately after we reported it at the front desk. Reception & Service: The reception staff were extremely friendly and attentive, always greeting us warmly and eager to help. Hotel Grounds: The entire property is beautifully maintained, very clean, and gives a luxurious impression throughout. Beach & Beach Bar: The beach is cleaned daily and looks pristine. The sunbeds are wonderfully comfortable, offering plenty of shade and a perfect spot to relax. The beach bar is modern, clean, and service is friendly. Prices for drinks are on the high side, but no more than what you’d pay in the center of a major Western European city. Breakfast: Breakfast is tasty with a good variety, but unfortunately there’s no buffet. We would have preferred being able to help ourselves instead of asking for every little thing. Items like scrambled eggs are charged extra, which feels a bit unreasonable given the overall price level. Restaurant: The food itself is very good, fresh, and of high quality. However, the service does not live up to the 5-star standard – the staff clearly try hard, but they lack the training to serve food and drinks in a confident and professional way. This was a bit of a disappointment considering the prices. Overall: If you’re not overly concerned about budget and are willing to overlook a few shortcomings, this resort is absolutely worth a stay. By Northern European standards, we would rate it 4 stars, with potential for 4-star-superior if the service were brought up to an international level.

Intimate and cute , I would not call it luxury though. The staffs are nice, but the services are limited. The beach’s beautiful, but It is secluded, if you want any water sport etc , it’s bit far from everything

There was a cut off of electricity during our stay. They fixed it but the wall panel covering the electricity box fell, it has a long nail on it, pretty dangerous. Towels are so old, hard and scratchy.

La struttura è su un pezzo di costa meraviglioso, la spiaggia è attrezzata in maniera impeccabile,le camere sono accoglienti moderne e pulitissime, hanno un comodo e riservato patio con una bellissima vasca esterna. Personale gentile ma una menzione speciale va a Letizia e ad Anthony che con la loro gentilezza, professionalità e disponibilità hanno colmato le piccole mancanze della struttura.

Il resort è all’interno di un ben più grande condominio di seconde case, lontano da qualsivoglia contesto urbano dove svolgere altre attività o semplicemente poter trovare ristoranti etc. Per questo motivo all’interno della struttura c’è un ristorante dove se non si voglio fare molto km si è costretti a cenare abbiamo mangiato bene ma a prezzi esorbitanti per piatti e servizio( 30 euro per uno spaghetto alle vongole normalissimo ) , in entrambe le cene ci hanno chiesto di scegliere gli stessi piatti per non mettere in difficolta la cucina ed evitare tempi di attesa troppo lunghi, cosa che in un ristorante di una struttura 5 stelle con i suddetti prezzi non ti aspetti. Anche la colazione non a livello per servizio ,ma con prodotti di buona qualità. Molti extra a pagamento ( telo mare in più rispetto a quello quotidiano al costo di 5 euro)

Il villaggio, Il design e l'arredo delle camere TOP! Spiaggia. Il personale amministrativo Luce, Letizia eccellente

Sovraprezzo per colazione, ristorante da migliorare nelle portate (un quid mancante ...) Personale da migliorare ... moltooooo

Design, concetto, spiaggia, staff amministrativo (Luce, Letizia, Siria)

Personale di servizio approssimativo, surplus breakfast su alcuni prodotti, ristorazione . Manca sala gym

Reception, ragazzi della colazione e bagnino impeccabili, nulla da dire

Per quello che si paga è davvero assurdo definirlo un 5 stelle. I camerieri del ristorante non sono preparati, litigano tra di loro, non sono minimamente accomodanti anzi criticano le richieste. Il cibo deludente.In più, la struttura si trova in un villaggio dove passano continuamente persone, i ragazzini strillano fino a notte fonda,non c’è parcheggio e al ristorante non si mangia bene. Sinceramente non ci tornerei né lo consigliere.

La plage, le bar et la décoration. Mention spéciale pour l’accueil d ‘Adil et Leila

Rien à signaler

Très bel hotel. Super accueil. Service impeccable. Chaque chambre bénéficie de son lit de plage avec beaucoup d'espace à moins de 5 m de la mer. Très belle piscine sous la pinède

Vu les prix, il est un peu pingre de réclamer des supplements pour les plats "spéciaux" au petit déjeuner : oeuf au plat offert mais oeuf brouillés bacon : 8~10€ ??? Idem les prix des snack à la plage sont abusés.

La spiaggia,, tranquilla e con le bellissime e comode cabanas Ottimi i prodotti della colazione. . Ottime le cene. Lo staff della reception con Luce e gli altri membri, attenti ad ascoltare e soddisfare le richieste.

É migliorabile qualche aspetto del servizio ai tavoli con qualche ritardo e qualche distrazione, facilmente correggibili. È migliorabile la pulizia della piscina e della zona piscina e dei vialetti e delle scale esterne a seguito della la presenza di volatili e di residui vegetali. Alcuni ( non gravi) problemi tecnici in camera, per risolvere i quali lo staff si è prodigato. Pineta priva di sdraio e lettini. Peccato, canoe e sup non presenti

We stayed at Praia this past week as travelers from the US. There are not many (if any) travelers from the US visiting this property, which makes it feel more authentic to the area but more difficult to navigate if you’re not comfortable with using translation apps. Very minimal English is spoken at the resort - which is okay with us, but could be intimidating to some. Our room - 301 - was amazing. The set up is perfect for a couple. Gorgeous, private yard with a pool and another gorgeous sitting area in the back (that we didn’t even use!). The unit has 2 full bathrooms, the bed is very comfortable and the closet has amazing space to open your bag and unpack. On the downside, the room does feel very dark and there is minimal lighting especially in the bathrooms. The lights don’t feel well placed, especially with no lighting in the shower at all. Towels were minimally stocked - only 1 per person. And no towels were given at all for the pool. We had to steal them from the beach every day. This just feels sloppy. If the unit has a pool, towels should be stocked and refreshed. This trend continued at the resort pool. There were no towels at all at the resort pool. Additionally, the pool is not set up well. There are only 4 (massively uncomfortable) pool loungers. The rest of the pool is set up with dining tables. Given there is no restaurant or service at the pool, other than breakfast, we did not get this. It made using the resort pool awkward and annoying. One thing we absolutely loved is that you get a lounge bed assigned to your room at the beach. There is no fighting over space and everyone has their own bed. It’s great. We’ve never seen this at a hotel and loved this feature. The food and service is the reason we are giving this hotel such a low rating. The hotel is isolated from town. Nothing is walkable except a few small stores in the neighborhood. There is no hotel shuttle at all, which we strongly feel should be an option to get into La Castella and the neighboring towns. The cabs are expensive (20 euro to go 3 miles into town!). La Castella is an adorable town with many restaurants and a gorgeous castle. The locals were so friendly - shout out to our fave restaurants Tippico & Piccante and Donna Carmela. Amazing food and the locals were so friendly! The surrounding neighborhood is like a family resort. It feels run down and isn’t very well cared for. There are really no sidewalks and walking around is difficult with speeding cars and trucks blowing down the streets. We like to walk and hike around our hotel in the mornings and this resort was not set up for that at all. In addition to the isolation, the restaurant hours and food options are not convenient for international guests. The breakfast is open 7:30-10:30 and then nothing is available until 12:30. The restaurant that opens at 12:30 is the only restaurant on property and it is very formal with a limited menu. After it closes at 3:30, there is nothing else available until dinner which is just a larger version of the lunch menu. The food and drinks are VERY expensive. The food is good at the restaurant but there’s no way a guest could do 2 meals per day there for a stay at the hotel. They need a more casual service at the pool with pizza, panini and salads. The quality of the breakfast was pretty terrible on the kitchen menu. The selections of meats, fruits and cheeses were great but there eggs were terrible. Eggs aren’t really an Italian thing so maybe they should try making something more typical so it is better quality. NO ONE ever asked us if we wanted anything during our 4 day stay at the hotel. At one point, we were in the pool and the entire staff including the restaurant manager were sitting at a table at the pool. They walked by us multiple times without even asking if we’d like a drink. This is just crazy to me. There is also no beach service unless you walk up to the bar. The service was overall pretty bad. The staff was friendly (the gentleman at the breakfast bar and the young lady waiting tables were lovely) but it’s clear that none of them have been trained to work at a luxury resort. The manager is from Sardinia, which next to Calabria, is the worst hotel service we’ve ever had. The hotel needs a real manager from a luxury hotel in an international tourist area if they want to have return guests. They will get people like us once - but the guests will have a similar experience to us and not return. The hotel was very difficult to get to, isolated, and not set up to be a destination on its own. They need to improve the food and hours that food is available, lower the drink prices, add shuttle transportation to neighboring towns, and get some better service. This was a one and done for us. 4 days was way too long and we were very ready to move on.

Fantastic experience that was recommended to us by Elena during our visit to Venice. The secluded beach was serene and the staff friendly and accommodating. There is a Michelin rated restaurant on the premises. No need to go anywhere else. We stayed, relaxed and were pampered by the staff.

We stayed at this beautiful resort for five days in July. We loved the architecture and style of the resort. If you appreciate something special, this is the place for you. We were particularly impressed by the restaurant right by the sea with its excellent Italian cuisine. The whole team is extremely friendly and very helpful. We had 5 happy days.

Very enjoyable stay! The hotel is clean and peaceful. The staff are professional and attentive. The beach feels like a swimming pool, with large comfortable mattresses. A big thank you to Adil at the reception, who helped us with our room change and answered all our questions with great kindness and professionalism. Also, a special mention to the gentleman in charge of the beach facilities — thank you!

Extremely pleased from beginning to end The place is isolated but beautiful and the sea is prestine. Even before arriving Lucha was extremely helpful sending us a taxi to collect us as we were in the wrong train station. The service was amazing from everyone unfortunately I won’t be able to name everybody as it is hard to remember all their names but for instance Patricia, Andrea, and Alessandro made our meal times very pleasant and the chef Antonio made delicious food. The sommelier Giani Door always gave us good advice with a constant smile. And I forgot to ask the name of a very young waitress that every evening did a brilliant job always predicting what we needed and being extremely kind . In the beach area Fabio and Fabrizio are two names I remember for their extreme kindness and good humour. Last but not least Constanzar Lido saved me by being extremely patient and helpful by booking our trains and taxis back as well as printing our boarding passes ….. Also important to mention, the room was very clean and comfortable…. thank you to all the team for an outstanding stay I cannot wait to go back

Great stay

Superb beach location and access. Breakfast quality was very good.

Stair access required which is not explicily described when booking specific type of room. Living room is on additional floor accessible only via internal lift which is ok but there is no stair alternative in case of emergency access.

Spacious room with fantastic bed. The layout is a bit strange with an unusual large tub on the balcony. Beautiful beach. Food was good but not noteworthy. Excellent service all around. The only downside is that the area surrounding the hotel is run down and not welcoming.

Beautiful & pretty quiet Hotel, with amazing rooms set in a “Albergo diffuso" style, modern concrete, with private gardens/ yards some included outside pools or baths/hot tubs. Lovely touches like towels for beach, allocated beach loungers/parasol with room number, fantastic beach & pool area and good food and very happy, helpful staff. Negatives- for a 5 star extra touches like a rug and two chairs & maybe a coffee table in room as a lot of space with just concrete floor and one chair. No coffee or milk in room only tea, bed was lop sided and uncomfortable, blind was broken. Seemed under staffed by pool/dinning area waited an hour for food one night. Staff seem to miss a trick by you having to get their attention to order a drink by pool/sea areas, they don't ask you. Only having one restaurant to order from was exhausted after a couple of days. Breakfast was a very slow process as again under staffed, have to queue up to be served and then they charge you extra for things on menu like bacon/pancakes! Area has nothing to offer and can only go anywhere by car. Taxi was very expensive, even just to go 15 minutes to La Castella-Also not enough organised trips, difficult to find where to go, even with extensive research. Again missing a trick here as I would have booked a few tours if it was organised and simple

This property is not as advertised. We didn’t get a gazebo, double bed at the beach, deck chairs or table, which is what we paid for. No beach bar, this is under construction. Beach service is via the life guard. There was building work throughout the property. We could hear saws and drills all day long while they were building the beach bar. (Told this would be end June 25) We were not informed there was construction. They are also digging trenches from the property to the beach. The resort is sandwiched in between local residents. Taxis required. One restaurant. The Michelin one isn’t open to guests only for private bookings, and appears to have lost its star in 2024. The shower was over a sunken bath. Please look at the pictures if you have mobility issues, as you will not be able walk to access it. The bath is knee deep and there is no handrail to step down into the area. I slipped and fell: it was very dangerous and I hurt my back have a massive bruises to look at. One of the residents next to the resort was having a party all day long which you could hear loudly at the beach on our first day, as their balconies all overlook the resort. For the rest of the week they were building the beach bar. We Cancelled our second week and got a refund however, they didn’t offer any compensation to being falsely sold on the first week or being injured just a swap of rooms which for the last two nights we couldn’t be both to do. The best part - food and the restaurant. Food is lovely as is the service but very limited menu. Price is more than reasonable, but, the beer at 8e is 2e in the nearby time so beware the 5 star resort cost for some things. Breakfast was very good. Quiet in the room but the fridge in the room runs all night and right next to the bed so it may keep you awake, it did me but got used to it after a few days. We left coukdnt wait to leave now at a lovely resort outside Tropea with amazing views and a room which we can use.

Staff and rooms and the starred restaurant.

One night there was an event with external clients and thus the internal restaurant was jam-packed and the feeling of an exclusive resort was lost. A real pity. They shouldn’t do those or give advanced notice so guests can organize a night out or be prepared.

Peaceful, stylish and with a brilliant team of staff for whom nothing is too much trouble.

Wonderful staff, really welcoming and extremely helpful. Room was well designed and everything worked extremely well - lots of storage space and very good shower. Only criticism is that it looked a bit old fashioned.

Staff were excellent

Overall mixed - on the plus side the beach and pool area were beautiful, one or two of the staff were delightful, but most were fairly average. I know it’s the end of the season… The posh restaurant was very good, but a tad fussy and for such high prices a bit inflexible. For an ‘Art’ hotel some of the design was just bad: our terrace was enclosed and dark Our bed was on a raised platform, so there was a step down - dangerous in the middle of the night with no light. One of the outside steps on the way to our room had no light at night, so my husband stumbled on it. The bathroom was all too tight; you had to go around the door to the loo. Having 5 stars raises your expectations and to me the room was close to 3 stars. The hotel did offer us a much nicer room, but it was up 3 flights each of 6-8 stairs, (no lift) but as I had hurt my foot, we declined this. After entering the estate you drive for a long way, maybe a kilometre, before you reach the hotel there should be a sign saying this.

I liked the peace, each room had its own deckchairs on the beach

Staff were wonderful. Food was exceptional.

The staff was very friendly and the beach experience was great - gazebo, bar & beach - just lovely. The facilities and the restaurants on-site are also top notch - tasteful architecture/interior design and very clean. The signature drinks at the beach bar and the vegetarian menu at the Pietramare restaurant were some of our highlights. Further, they also serve a broad range of locally produced wines at reasonable rates. Overall - a really solid offering. It seems to be the only high-end boutique hotel in the area. A lot less touristy than the region around Tropea. Let's hope that they succeed. We'd love to return one day.

Hard to criticise, but since this is high-end: The breakfast selection could be improved. It feels a bit strange that someone has to serve you at the buffet and you can't just take what you like. Further, there could be more variability - e.g., a daily special. Most important point from our perspective: There should be more vegetarian options on the menu of the a la carte restaurant. The vegetarian offering of the Pietramare shows that they are aware and that they can do it. A closing remark: The resort seems to be of mixed use - some hotel rooms are next to regular apartments - due to limited soundproofing (probably hard to fix), we experienced quite some loud noises from our neighbours in the late evenings and early mornings - in my opinion not something the resort can solve.

We love this resort. Staff is friendly and rooms are made with high quality materials. Only recommendation would be the menu. It’s limited but I would still come back again! Beach is soft do you wanna play soft no shoes necessary!

Room was wonderful, very clean, staff were helpful and friendly, loved the food at both restaurants, the beach and private cabana- best part for me. Just what I needed to recharge my battery.

Beach, beach bar, restaurants, my room!

Excellent stay for our family all around, great smooth service, michelin restaurant was amazing, ate there twice, but the pool restaurant (osteria) was awesome too, loved the beach bar with bartender playing congas. The beach is very close, in fact it is a direct part of the resort, clean, not crowded at all. The boat trip with Salvatore was a cherry on top. We loved our stay. We definitely recommend this resort.

Great vibe and food

We came as guests...we left as friends. My daughters and I spent three nights at Praia Art Resort on our trip to Calabria. The resort is spotless, beds are comfortable and beach cabana beds a plus! It was by far the most welcoming resort on the island. From our initial welcome visit with the front desk staff to housekeeping employees, everyone was wonderful. We enjoyed the most amazing seven course meal in the main restaurant with a full view of the chefs preparing each course. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were equally amazing at the poolside restaurant! And I would be remiss to not give a big shout out to Emilio, Giuliano, Anthony and Massimo for treating me and my daughters like royalty! Thank you all for providing us with a memorable stay! Diana, Natalie and Nadia!

Muito bom surpreendeu tem um restaurante estrelado Michelin simplesmente fantástico

Our stay at Praia Art Resort was an absolute delight. This extraordinary establishment redefines the concept of luxury and hospitality, leaving a lasting impression on our hearts. The moment we stepped foot into the resort, we were welcomed by an atmosphere of sheer opulence and sophistication. The resort's design and attention to detail were a testament to the artistry that inspired its name. Our room offered a panoramic view of the pristine shoreline, making our mornings truly magical. Waking up to the sound of the ocean waves and the breathtaking beauty of the coast was an experience beyond words. One of the most memorable aspects of our stay was the exceptional breakfast experience at Praia Art Resort. The morning spread served at the resort's restaurant was a culinary delight, creating a perfect start to our day. The quality of the breakfast and the attentive staff added an extra layer of satisfaction to each morning. Praia Art Resort's exceptional service, meticulous attention to detail, and unbeatable location on the coast made our stay truly unforgettable. If you're searching for a haven of luxury and tranquility by the sea, this resort is the perfect choice. It elevated our vacation to an unforgettable experience, and we eagerly look forward to returning to relive its magic.

Amazing cute boutique Hotel! We got a huge room with a great seating place outside, the stuff was super caring and service was wonderful! The hotel beach was super close and comfortable with beach bar, as well breakfast was very good with great service, highly recommended

it was a shot...never know....turns out the pictures on their website doesnt do them justice. great service....wonderful resort..i hate to say how great it is in fear of it becoming flooded...the michelin star resteraunt was well worth it. great meal and service. beach bartender cant be beat

The private beach side location and the beach bar for cocktails at sunset were a little bit of paradise. The hotel was always clean and staff were professional, friendly and helpful. It was great to have your own subbed allocated for your stay. We enjoyed the on-site Michelin * restaurant, Pietremare, where service was excellent and the food very good. The poolside restaurant was also good for lunch and dinner. We enjoyed the option of massages on site.

We would have liked a kettle in our room. We found the lighting in the room dark and would have liked some kind of bedside lighting; but just small personal preferences.

The hotel rooms and the beach gazebos are amazing

Nothing

The staff was extremely helpful, nice and professional. The sun-beds were dedicated to each room (no need to rush to get a sun-bed). Rooms are large. It is a perfect place to relax (with no stress) and to eat amazingly well (in the star Michelin restaurant).

The neighbourhood is not with the same standard than the property.

Beautiful place - superb large room with large sea view balcony. Beach is clean and the loungers etc plentiful and comfortable with fresh towels when needed. The food is excellent the Michelin Star well deserved. The pool side restaurant also excellent. Breakfast was very good. Staff are friendly and helpful. We loved every minute.

Only slight issues - breakfast was not explained and had to ask if cooked breakfast was included - it was. Only one bottle of water in room - not replaced despite a 4 night stay? There were paddle boards and canoe - we were not told if they were for our use ?

The perfect place to relax and enjoy a quiet moment, place very clean and calm. Rooms are always clean, the receptionist are very good and friendly.

The staff could be more prepared, the food takes so much minutes to go to the table, also the breakfast could be more options.

Great place for design and service. Outstanding restaurant.
