Splendido weekend estivo d'ottobre
Approfittando della coda dell' estate, trascorriamo un weekend presso questa struttura in riva a uno dei più bei mari della penisola. Tutto perfetto, dall' accoglienza e accompagnamento del personale della reception, molto competente e gentile (menzione d'onore per Gianni e Chiara) alla stanza grande, pulita e molto ben arredata, al comodo materasso, agli spazi verdi, alla piscina. Merita la fama acquisita nel tempo e un ritorno nel futuro prossimo.

Struttura in una location molto bella, non il solito villaggio che può in alcuni casi far fastidio ma bensì un posto in cui tutto è basato sulla location, di fatto attaccata al mare. Pertanto se cerchi una vacanza in un bel posto per stare tranquillo e avere tutto a portata di mano e perfetto. Cucina non troppo tipica di potrebbe fare molto di meglio soprattutto aggiungendo più sapori locali. Personale della reception be siamo rimasti un po’ colpiti potrebbero fare un po’ di meglio un po’ più attenzione al cliente. In ogni caso consigliamo la struttura

Die Hotelanlage ist wirklich wunderbar gelegen. Zudem ist sie sehr gepflegt, sodass jeder Moment der puren Erholung dient. Die Tage für uns waren ein Genuss, die wir gerne mit einem guten Glas Wein am Strand ausklingen lassen haben. Das Frühstück ist sehr umfangreich und lecker. Service und Zimmer sind top. Empfehlen können wir zudem den Hoteleigenen Shuttle-Service nach Tropea, um dort ohne Stress einen Tag zu genießen.

Wunderschöne Anlage direkt am Strand
Wir waren für eine Woche in dieser Anlage und unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Alles ist sehr gepflegt, schön gemacht und die Angestellten sind auch freundlich. Die Lage ist nicht zu übertreffen. Der Pool der sowohl vom Strand als auch von der Anlage aus genutzt werden kann und die schöne Hanglage. Wir hatten den Eindruck, dass der Vulkan Stromboli, der bei günstigen Wetterverhältnissen sichtbar ist, das Wetter postitv beeinflusst.

Super schönes Hitel in traumhafter Lage
Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub im Villagio il Gabbiano. Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage mit einzigartigen Blick und tollem großen Strand vor der Tür. Der Pool ist ebenfalls toll und die Gartenanlage wunderschön. Das Hotel ist sehr gepflegt und wird täglich instand gehalten (bspw. sind täglich 2-3 Gärtner unterwegs). Die Zimmer wurden in den letzten 2 Jahren renoviert und sind sehr schön. Das Abendessen ist sehr lecker und abwechslungsreich. Das Frühstück ist ausreichend aber einfach. Es gibt einen großen Obstkorb an dem man sich bedienen kann. Aber frischen Obstsalat gibt es bspw. nicht (nur Dosenobst). Da wir Ende der Saison (3.-13.09.) waren hat man schon gemerkt, dass es ruhiger wird. Nur die ersten Tage gab es noch Kinderanimation (mit Kinderdosco) danach sind die Animateure abgereist. Abends ist es dann schon sehr ruhig und für Kinder vielliecht etwas langweilig. Es waren auch fast alle Familien mit Kindern abgereist und fasts kur koch ältere Paare da. Da wir die erste Woche noch Animation mitbekommen haben, hat es und nicht gestört, dass die letzten Tage ruhiger waren. Wenn man 2 Wochen komplett ohne Unterhaltung hat, ist es wie gesagt für die Kinder eventuell irgendwann etwas langweilig. Alles in allem hatten wir einen wunderschönen Urlaub und können das Hotel nur empfehlen.
