Santa Caterina dello Ionio hotels from RM165

"One of the nicest places we have stayed in Italy. The cottage we were in was beautiful. Every part of the property is clean and well maintained and staff is very friendly and helpful. "

"We enjoyed five night at this well situated hotel, right on the main square and within easy walking distance to the beaches and nightlife. Also within walking distance to the train station and main bus stop. Rooms come in very different sizes. Our double room was clean and comfortable with a very good mattress. There is a small refrigerator and a lock box in the room, along with a tv. Maid service was efficient and friendly. The hotel staff were very friendly and the breakfast is good. The sons of the founder run the hotel and the one I met was attentive and welcoming. The three women at the front desk were all very helpful, and multilingua, with at least English and German among them. "

"Clean room, beautiful view and room, staff helpful, great breakfast"

"Wonderful "

"It was a beautiful hotel. Vistas were great. November is pretty dead in Gasperina. Not a lot of options for restaurants or activities. "

"Our stay at the Piccolo Grand Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the charming old town of Pizzo, this boutique hotel perfectly blends modern comfort with authentic Italian character. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They were warm, helpful, and always ready with great local recommendations — whether it was where to find the best tartufo gelato (hint: it’s nearby!) or the most scenic spots to watch the sunset. The room was stylish, spotless, and thoughtfully designed with high-end touches — especially the rain shower and incredibly comfortable bed. We had a beautiful balcony with a small view of the sea. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a daily highlight. Fresh fruit, pastries, eggs and cappuccinos with a view of the Calabrian coast — it’s the kind of morning that makes you want to stay forever. The location is perfect for exploring. Just a few steps from the main piazza, restaurants, cafes, and the historic castle, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. If you’re visiting southern Italy and want a boutique hotel that offers style, service, and soul — Piccolo Grand Hotel is the place. We can’t wait to return!"

"Long-ish wait to check-in due to no one being at the front desk. Rooms are fine. Lots of noise outside at night with teenagers screaming until 1 a.m."

"Beautiful and very friendly Only downfall is it is a bit far from the city center (2km) so transportation back and forth can get pricey"

"Very dated hotel, needs TLC"
