Marinella Residence in Capo Vaticano

Very nice place a big plus for the reception lady and the van to the beach and back

Very friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome

I would like to tell a few words about this wonderful hotel Marinella. It's really great and worth visiting and even revisiting! In my subjective opinion everything is perfect there. The room is cosy, clean and with all necessary conveniences. The food is really delicious and various with lots of fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables, pasta, rissoto, fish, meat, etc., everything was extremely tasty and cooked with soul! The sea is only 5 minutes walk downhill, the beach is clean, the views and landscapes are fantastic! My daughter and I are really grateful to Giacomo, Teodora and Madi for everything they have done for us, they are the best! The atmosphere in this hotel is really friendly, calm and peaceful... If we had such an opportunity to return to Marinella again we would do it with great pleasure undoubtedly!!!

Excellent premium rooms. Breakfast, amenities, parking, all just steps from the heavenly sea. Highly recommended.

As the years go by, Marinella and Villa Luzia remain a guarantee. As long as Giacomo is here, I'm convinced that this place will always be synonymous with quality and hospitality. I've been coming back for 20 years. The staff is top-notch and highly trained. Giacomo Cecere

I went with a friend, first holiday in Italy, the hotel is an hour transfer from the airport so we booked it through the hotel, excellent service, comfy Mercedes so no complaints. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff are lovely, big thanks to Theadora on reception, an absolute star. The hairdryer was faulty, it was replaced, again thank you Theadora, however, I would recommend taking your own hairdryer as I lost the will to live trying to use the hotel one. The hotel is situated on the hillside with stunning views, but it's a steep road down to the beach and the hotel charges for the use of the sun beds provided there, they also charge for the little road train to bring you back up the hill from the beach, so we stayed around the pool area which we had to ourselves most days. We were the only English people there, the other guests were German, this seems to be the norm for the hotel as the dinner menu was in German. The food at dinner was ok, the ships bell is rung at 19.30 and everyone queues to get salad and whatever else is on the menu for the starters, as there were no labels on any of the dishes we didn't know what a lot of things were, but we tried everything, it's definitely catering for German tourists, there was also a pasta dish served at tables and usually a choice of meat or fish, everyone gets the same dessert, we didn't starve but I wouldn't say it was great. Because of the remoteness of the hotel there's no bars or restaurants or a shop, it's quite a decent walk up the hill to the bus stop and the train station and the hotel will arrange taxis for you. We had a lovely meal at a restaurant about a half mile walk away up the hill, but apart from that you're stuck with eating in the hotel. The beds were firm in the extreme, but the room was spacious with a balcony and very clean, there's no lift and lots of steps outside so it's definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. We had a relaxing week which is what we wanted but it would have been better if there had been a bit more around the hotel so you had a choice for eating and drinking. If you're after a lively holiday this is definitely not the place to go, if you're after peace and quiet and like walking up and down hills it's perfect.

A good night
A very pleasant stay. Shower is hot, bed is firm, area is safe and quiet, front desk very helpful. Food is plentiful and good. It's a bit of a way to town centre but that didn't affect us.

We spent the first week of September 2024 in this hotel with a couple of friends. We immediately felt at home. Friendly and kind staff attentive to the needs of customers. We opted for half board and on a couple of occasions we had lunch at the restaurant. The possibility of taking water from the dispenser and the buffet of vegetables and appetizers were much appreciated. The quality of the food was very good even if on some occasions it turned out to be slightly below our expectations. Possibility of having seconds. Clean environments including rooms and bathrooms. Very positive experience.

Near the wonderful Grotticelle beach, however reachable by a little train. Simple and welcoming structure, strong point the always kind and helpful staff and the excellent food. Maximum cleanliness. Also ideal for weekends. Highly recommended for those who know how to appreciate a simple holiday in the name of good things and real people. Thank you very much to everyone and...see you soon❤️
