We loved everything about this fantastic resort. Katerina was wonderful to deal with in the mornings. Sam and Valentina were perfect hosts in the afternoons and evenings and defintely helped make our stay very enjoyable. The other lady, (apologises I can't remember her name) along with the rest of the staff were hard working and very polite. Nothing was too much trouble for them to ensure that we had a good vacation. We are hoping to return next year. The view of Stromboli belching gas is our enduring memory of the sunsets during our stay.

We’ve just came back from our week vacation in Calabria, and we stayed in this beautiful and cozy resort. The same minute you enter the area of this small hotel, you are in love with it. Very green and with beautiful views on sunsets. You feel like you are received by a family of very old friends of you. Always helpful and smiling , they took so good care of us. Supermarket is close, restaurants - plenty of choice just nearby (but we’ve found a really good one a bit away from the hotel La Notte Pizzeria, which we definitely recommend for so tasty food, local atmosphere and friendly service). The hotel shuttle takes you to Grotticelle beach and pick you from there according to schedule. We’ve used catamaran and a boat to go to Focu beach, clean water and so nice beach (but you should take everything with you there, snacks and water, as it’s an empty beach). And thanks to previous reviewer we also went to Tono beach a couple of days, which is wider and maybe less people are there than on Grotticelle beach. If you have a car, you can travel to so many beautiful places and beaches around. We also used a public bus to go to Tropea, the schedule is available on reception and he bus stop is just close near La Campangola restaurant. Car rent you can also ask on reception, they call the service and they bring a car to hotel for you, very convenient:) we’ve paid 50 euro for one day rent. Berta & Sam, we are looking forward to come back next year:) oh, and thanks for the farewell pizza party, we’ve enjoyed Calabrian music and pizza and dances:)

“kitchen could be equipped better”

The property on which the Resort is located is smaller than we had anticipated. We very much liked the many well cared for plants which gave the area around the pool a lush tropical feeling.

The property on which the Resort is located is smaller than we had anticipated. We very much liked the many well cared for plants which gave the area around the pool a lush tropical feeling. Both the German receptionist and the German speaking bartender were very friendly and helpful. Our room no. 20 was located under the roof. The pitches of the roof made it feel cramped and we hit our head more than once. But we had a large roof terrace with a great view onto the sea. It was a bit sparsely furnished with a table, two chairs and a very small wall mounted clothes drying rack. Upon request we got also a larger portable one. We missed a sunlounger for the afternoon nap and cushions for the chairs. The kitchen was only equipped with the minimum necessary. There was only 1 lid for 3 pots and 2 pans. We received another one after we asked for it as well as a kettle to boil tea water. We had our own large tea cups with us and a small vegetable knife. Both were missing in this kitchen but would have been provided if we had asked for it. It would have been nice if they had equipped the kitchen better in the first place rather than us having to ask for everything that we considered missing. There was a gas stove with 4 places but no oven or microwave. The lighting was not good. When you cooked or washed dishes you had it behind you and the whole workspace area was in shade. The lighting was also not good in the shower which is a standard size but feels small due to the roof pitch. There were only 2 towel hangers in the whole bathroom and those were only suitable for small towels. There was no light above the mirror in the bathroom, just some cables sticking out of the wall. You can order rolls for breakfast at the bar and pick them up the next morning. This was great as there is no larger supermarket or bakery in walking distance. They offer a free shuttle service to Grotticelle beach but we much preferred Tono beach. None of the beaches are in walking distance especially as there are steep winding roads leading down to them. You definetely need a rental car when you come to Arcobaleno resort. They have a free parking space with a barrier in front of it. The barrier was not completely OK. Most of the time it only opened after you had put the code in for the 2nd or 3rd time. The pool is not big and is just good enough for cooling down but not for swimming. We were surprised that it was obligatory to wear a bathing cap in the pool. It was provided free of charge at the reception but spoiled the fun. Between 2 and 4 pm you were not allowed to use the pool as it was 'rest time'. There is free wireless internet but it did not work in our room. We had to go to the pool or bar with our laptop and smartphone. The prices at the bar are very reasonable. All in all we liked the Resort as it has a nice relaxed atmosphere and staff that works hard to make you feel welcome.
