Hotel Marinella

Hotel Marinella is a calm 3-star beach hotel in Marina Di Grotticelle, set within tropical gardens near Capo Vaticano. With 41 rooms in two modern buildings, it offers a practical base for families seeking a relaxed stay in Calabria, close to the white-grey granite coastline and the town of Tropea.

Families with children will find a dedicated outdoor playground and a shallow kids pool designed for younger guests. The property provides highchairs for toddlers and offers family rooms to accommodate groups comfortably. While regular entertainment programmes for children are available, these may incur an additional fee. Guests can also enjoy table tennis and table football on site, or try water sports like canoeing and snorkelling nearby, subject to extra charges.

Parents can relax in the air-conditioned bar or satellite TV lounge, with internet access available throughout public areas and rooms. Rooms feature en suite bathrooms with showers, hairdryers, and safety deposit boxes, while some double and triple rooms include sea-view balconies. A continental breakfast buffet is served daily, with set menu options for lunch and dinner. Free private parking is available, though it is worth checking with the hotel before booking regarding specific family requirements.
