Midenza Seaside & Nature Retreat

Partiamo dalla gentilezza del personale TUTTO. Non mi va di fare nomi per non fare torto a nessuno. La cura nei dettagli, il cibo, il mare splendido. Si tratta di un resort esclusivo con poco più di 30 camere. Non troverete mai la folla e questo consente l'attenzione al singolo cliente. Come in famiglia. Il titolare sempre presente e attento.

Everything was pristine. We stayed in a cabana near the ocean which is at the bottom of the hill from the main resort. There is a beachfront resto/bar where they serve drinks and food. There are plenty of lounging chairs and parasols for everyone and the ocean water is so clear. We opted for breakfast and dinner included and we don't regret since there are no restaurants around. The area is very secluded. You need a car to get around. They offer golf carts to take you up from the ocean cabanas to the main breakfast and dining building. We walked it most of the time. Breakfast was complete with eggs, bacon, yoghurt, etc... and there is a section for gluten free. Diner was amazing and again special attention was given for gluten free. For dinner, you are given a sheet in the morning where you choose from 3 or 4 different options for appetizer, primo, secondo and desert. Drinks are not included. The facilities include a pool, a well-equipped gym, a playground for children, a soccer field and lots of Zen areas to relax. It is truly a paradise.

I feel that a Nature Retreat resort should offer free water to its guests. We had to buy water every day or refill our bottles when we went to the gym. We paid the resort 110 Euros for a driver to pick us up at the airport. They sent a very unprofessional driver who parked very far from the airport and who had no AC in his van. He also drove like he was in a hurry and slammed on his brakes at least 5 times. The resort needs to select better drivers. We took the train to go back to the airport, and it was pleasant and very cheap. The resort charged us 20Euros to take us to the Ricadi train station by golf cart - less than a 10-minute ride. I feel that this shuttle service could have been offered for free given the close vicinity.

The swordfish smelled too fishy :-(

Everything about Midenza is superb. The location is fantastic with easy access to the station at Ricadi if you want to explore further. The facilities have been well thought out; the pool is large and great for both swimmers and paddling kids. The restaurant has wonderful views over the sea to Stromboli as do all the accommodations. We had a superior suite which was spotlessly clean, as was the resort as a whole.All the staff from reception through cleaners to ground maintenance were both friendly and professional although special mention must go to the two waiters, whose names we unfortunately didn’t get, who were absolute first class with their knowledge of the food and wine helping us to fully enjoy the experience. On the subject of food: breakfast was extensive and had everything you needed from cold to hot foods. Evening meal also deserves special mention: four choices each for starter, first, main and dessert that changed daily. It was basically of a tasting menu standard each evening with a great selection of wines to match (aided greatly by the previously mentioned waiters!!). Overall one of the finest resorts we have stayed in and we have travelled extensively over the years. Unreservedly recommended!!!

Nothing at all. (Our only downside was that we chose to drive there without realising how convenient and, by comparison, cheaper it would have been to travel by train from Naples. When visiting again this would be the way we would do it)

The resort was lovely. The staff from reception to restaurant were very helpful and friendly.

Great location, sea facilities , food

No free water on the room, a bit small and simple coloured room
