Villa Maria Carmela

What we liked was Going out!

The reasons for this poor review above was due to the property next door having a ferocious dog, which never stopped barking from arrival until the any of leaving 7 days. This was addressed on the first day Thursday 4th to the owner on handover of keys and he raised his arms, shrugged and said he couldn’t do anything. This barking dog continued and on the Saturday we contacted the owner again as this was unsatisfactory. He replied speak to the owner of the dog, our reply was you need to. We feel this was clearly a long term holiday let and he gave no consideration to us. We have all the texts from him and pictures of snarling dog, he asked her to control the dog but they couldn’t. Because of this we could not stay in the garden or have a bbq, so went out every day. Facilities in the kitchen were minimal, no kettle, no toaster, no bottle opener, we had to boil water in a saucepan. However, sheets for bedding & towels was excellent, and cleanliness elsewhere. 1 coat hanger in each wardrobe, need more. Will not be recommending.

Appartamento carino con un grande terrazzo vista mare attrezzato con tavolo, divanetti e barbecue. Anche se vicino alla ferrovia, i treni non mi hanno recato disturbo. Posizione perfetta per raggiungere le spiagge più belle della costa degli Dei. Proprietario cortese.

Non è presente la WIFI. Cuscini dei letti alti e scomodi.

Posizione ottima, poco fuori da Briatico con comodo parcheggio. Appartamento ben distribuito con tutto il necessario ed una grande terrazza vista mare.

Le camere forse un pochino piccole e la vicinanza alla ferrovia. La mancanza della seduta del water che aveva solo la ceramica.

Struttura molto comoda e accogliente, fornita di tutti i comfort, per chi ama la tranquillità dopo una giornata di mare è il posto perfetto. Super consigliata

Nulla

The accommodation was nice, corresponding to the price.

The beach near the accommodation was very difficult to access and was all stone (it looked sandy in the photos). So we use to walk to Zeus bay (walking distance less than 1 km) or to Briatico (walking distance 2-3 km). We arrived by plane and were without a car, which I do not recommend at all in Calabria. Everywhere is far and a car is really necessary if you don't want to just sit on accommodation. We ended up going to the surrounding towns by train, which ran often and was reliable. But even so, it was quite far from the station to the beaches.
