Location
Situated on Localita' Finocchiaro in Sellia Marina, Villaggio Residence Costa Blu is 146 meters from the sea, providing direct access to a private beach area. The Ionian Sea coastline here is noted for clear water, though the shore consists of rocks and pebbles.

The resort is close to local bars, ice cream shops, and restaurants about 200 meters from the seafront, offering convenient dining options outside the hotel.

Reviews
Place suggested for family with kids
The resort is well-organized and well-maintained, with plenty of spaces dedicated to children where they can have fun safely. The sea is simply beautiful: clear, clean, and easily accessible water, ideal for children too.
A special thanks goes to all the staff, always available, kind, and ready to help with a smile, making us feel truly welcomed.
The entertainment was engaging but never intrusive: the entertainers are friendly, well-trained, and manage to create a cheerful atmosphere for both children and adults, with many activities during the day and entertaining evening shows.
It was a relaxing yet fun-filled holiday. We will definitely be back!
Some of the staff don't speak Italian, making communication difficult.
Wi-Fi is either absent or has a poor signal, even in common areas.
Prices are exorbitantly high compared to other nearby campsites (which are much better).
No recycling, despite the website claiming to be "plastic-friendly," which is grotesque given the amount of plastic waste strewn around the campsite that isn't collected.
Entertainment is almost nonexistent (only for children), with the same music playing on repeat.
The advertised amenities are often unusable or only accessible with complications and advance bookings. The washing machine is locked, making doing laundry inconvenient and frustrating.
The beach is made of sharp rocks and pebbles, even on the seabed, and the sea is often rough.
The only positive note was the fresh, mineral water, free if you have a metal bottle: at least that was clean.
The facility deserves it and can offer more; I wouldn't rate it 4 stars.
The sea is crystal-clear, but you need water shoes and the ability to swim because it's deep right from the start, and there are rocks on the shore.
The management, reception, and cleaning staff, as well as the bar, are all helpful and friendly. A 4-star rating isn't enough; it has to offer more.
The Fakiro events entertainment program is a sore point. Their skills in the entertainment field are nonexistent, and they're not at all proactive. I often had to manage the children myself and let them play with each other on the beach. Never a smile, never an initiative, always the same music, no desire to work, not even if they were doing forced labor.
The management apologized, but in my opinion, they should have sent them away and not offered any entertainment; it would have spared the guests and made a better impression. Entertainment is a serious matter; you can't improvise, and Costa Blu is suffering greatly because of these individuals.
The only positive aspect of the entertainment team is a young and inexperienced but enthusiastic and sociable girl named Asia, who, with the help of the guests, created a few convivial and fun moments.
The children are generally happy, but parents who pay expect more from a 4-star hotel. Best wishes to the management, who was super kind enough to let us improve next year so they can demonstrate that Costa Blu, in its own small way, can give more and deserve its 4 stars.
And a shout out to the bar and dining room staff.
