Villaggio Sporting Calabria

The apartment was clean, with air conditioning in both rooms, and having a washing machine was a real plus. Sheets were changed twice during the week, and towels every day. The food was excellent, and the manager was always on hand and happy to meet our requests. We felt at home, and I’m very grateful. We stayed from August 15th to 22nd and had a wonderful time. The sea and beach were stunning, and the umbrellas had plenty of space between them. Boat trips are a must, we got to see pods of dolphins.

The staff were kind and helpful, from the owners to the dining room and entertainment teams. We joined in enthusiastically, and the entertainers even got our very critical teenage son dancing, singing, and playing group games. He never wanted to leave. We also have a dog, and they made us feel welcome in every part of the property. The tables in shared areas and the beach umbrellas were spaced appropriately under the Covid rules. We stayed from July 12th to 19th, and everything was better than we expected. The food was plentiful, and fair for the quality and price. The rooms were spacious and always smelled fresh. Sheets and towels were changed daily. There was a 📺, stove with oven, sink, fridge with freezer, and washing machine. Whenever we asked for something, they took care of it promptly. Some complaints I’d read seemed exaggerated. Those negative reviews had initially put us off and influenced us, but I have to say they didn’t match our experience. We’ll definitely be back!

We could enjoy the beach and sea all day, from breakfast through dinner and even after dinner. The value was excellent, and the food was decent. The rooms were clean and smelled fresh, and the beach service was excellent, with new loungers and umbrellas. The entertainment was great too, and the music made our time on the beach more enjoyable. The managers were always kind and ready to help with any request. Special thanks to Michele, who personally sorted out a problem I had with my car inside the resort. They’re highly capable and keen to promote the area and make things better. I wish them the best of luck.

For €800 for four people, we got a lot. I’d been a bit worried by the reviews and the very low price, but this is a clean, simple, quiet three-star residence, with a beautiful clean beach and fabulous sea. The food was good, nothing like it was described in those reviews. The kids could have plain pasta or pasta with tomato sauce, or choose from what the adults were eating. The kids are friendly and kind.
