Hotel La Calabrese

There are different kinds of accommodation here, since some apartments are privately owned and others are rented out. The residence is in central Le Castella, just a few meters from Le Castella beach and a tourist village, so the location is excellent. Entry is secure and requires a key, though plenty of young people climb over. There's indoor parking accessible with a card, free showers, self-service vending machines, recycling, and a children's play area that only opens at certain times. There's also a bar on site.

The red beach is lovely for children and faces the ancient Aragonese castle. The sea is clean and about 200 meters from the residence. It's a cozy, quaint place for a quiet family break, just steps from the town's main street, where there are all sorts of shops, restaurants, and a few hotels. I recommend it for a short summer getaway.

I had a terrible stay, and only didn't leave early because I had a flight reservation. The rooms were dirty and claustrophobic. The one we were given couldn't fit two people. I had to buy sheets and tablecloths because none were provided, which was shameful. The television wasn't black and white, which was a shame. There were so many problems during that one night that listing them all would take a long story. The owner was very rude and unhelpful when I had an issue. I had to wait for her, and we were even accused of causing problems. Never again! If you're going to the castles, don't stay here.

The apartments are spacious, and the setting is quiet and comfortable. The residence is well maintained within Le Castella, with designated parking, a pool, entertainment, a beach, a restaurant and pizzeria, and a bar. There's also a gym. The village shops and restaurants are within walking distance if you need anything else.
