We spent a wonderful week holiday in Scoglio Della Galea Resort. Hotel is located in a nice half-closed bay close to Capo Vaticano, approximately 2 hour drive by bus from Lamezia Terme Airport. Hotel complex consist of main building on the hill with sea view apartments, with a big terrace and swimming + baby pool on its roof, Restaurant & Bar complex and finally bungalow apartments, all located in very nice, tidy and cared gardens. During nice sunny day terrace with pool offers a beautiful view on Sea, Stromboli Volcano and Sicilia Island. Glorious garden is clean and full of olive and citrus trees, palms, etc. In upper part is located relaxation pool with massages, in the bottom part of campus are playgrounds. All parts of campus are connected with train, which drives regularly during day (7:30-10, 11:30-13:30, 16:30-20:30). Bottom part or hidden upper part are very quiet, we recommend them for people & families seeking „peace“. Beach area is very close (1min walk from bottom part of hotel campus), and has its own bar & restaurant with special diner offer during evening, toilets, remoted apartments and of course beach resting part divided to sand part (2 lines of sun umbrellas) and upper bigger part, equipped with artificial (plastic) grass. On beach you can borrow pedal-boat or canoe for free, we recommend them! Beach entrance is stony, but beach is also equipped by a short wharf for boats and serves as an entrance to deeper water. Two days out of seven, jellyfishes occasionally occurred in the water, near the coast. They were mostly caught by lifeguard, but it was necessary to be careful. On the beach were sellers of a poor look, who sold clothing, jewellery and beach equipment. I do not know about any problem with theft, but these bids several times a day are really annoying. But this is a general problem in Italy, beaches are not private and closed only for hotel guests. Or apartment located in the bottom part of the campus was probably not the newest one, but still nice, well-preserved and clean. Equipped with air-conditioning. Cleaning service was excellent. Food in restaurant was delicious. We have been surprised every diner. Besides typical fish/meat offer with inexhaustible possibilities of salads and side dishes, hotel staff prepared specialities of the day: tuna fish, seafood, shrimps, but also veal meat, Italian pasta or sushi! Every gourmet will be satisfied! Breakfast were typical Italian sweet with many cookies and croissants, but also great pancakes and waffles! I missed vegetables. Lunches offered meat/fish dishes, fruit and cakes. The beverage supply was weaker, but this is a question of setting up between a hotel and a costly office Hotel also offered animation programme for kids and adults (sport activities) and also every day evening programs. WiFi was accessible in common areas (restaurant, bar, pool, beach bar) but there is also stable LTE/3G connection on mobile services. From village is possible to travel to Tropea using bus (from Piazza Santa-Maria) or join some trip to Sicilia or Stromboli organised by travel agencies. Summary: We spent a great time there! Thank you, hotel staff and Animation team!
