Villa Catalano

It was a bit ordinary. We have been travelling for a while and had eggs meat cheese options and granola but these were not available. On the bright side fresh orange juice.

It was a bit old looking inside the rooms. They need to do a bit off a freshen up.

Garden and the surroundings Friendly staff

swimming pool was not clean It was advertised that it’s available to use It wasn’t like that as it’s showing in the picture

Franco and his wife Maria were just fantastic. They made us feel very much at home drove us to see the local sites. Welcome us with wine went out of their way to be accommodating. Wonderful people felt like you were visiting family.

Spent a wonderful time at Villa Catalano last week. We had a great room, clean and new towels every day. A covered terrace and an outdoor terrace both overlooking the sea and a well-maintained garden with seating areas, barbecue and neat plants. There was a small cozy breakfast room where a delicious breakfast was ready every morning as a buffet and where they prepared a delicious coffee or tea for you on the spot. The people of Villa Catalano did everything they could to make us happy. Excellent and free parking at the villa, not to mention a beautiful swimming pool with sun loungers that we could enjoy. We would like to come back when we visit our friends in Paola again.

The only disadvantage: the dogs in the neighborhood that often bark frequently for a long time. Finally, a suggestion: it would be nice if one could use an electric kettle in the room to make a simple coffee or tea on the terrace in the evening.

The view.

No water. Couldn’t shower or flush toilets. Extremely hard to find. Ordinary breakfast. I could go on !

was very good. Good variety.

Breakfast was ok. Room size was good. Bed was good Location was GREAT

Bathroom definitely needs an upgrade. Shower was small and not properly working. Wallpaper coming off... Too many useless things in the room and a decent TV was missing. They had one of this tiny one with decoder... REALLY BAD !!!

It was a lovely relaxing setting with views over the sea in the distance from the well maintained garden and balconies. It was a half hour walk to the nearest beach, so the swimming pool was a bonus. This was clean and well equipped with loungers and shower and toilet facilities

The location was a problem as it was a 10 minute taxi journey into Paola. There were no shops or supermarkets within walking distance. There was no on-site restaurant or shuttle service from the airport which was 1 hours drive from the hotel, although a local driver was made available to provide this service at a reasonable cost.

It was quiet and peaceful. It was safe. We had dinner one night at Anna Marias which was fabulous ( ask the owners about this, highly recommend) This Villa was superb. We wood definitely stay here again.
