Family-friendly vacation rentals in Gioiosa Ionica

Beautiful and cozy house with large indoor and outdoor spaces and a beautiful view of the sea, reachable on foot. Simone and her family were kind and courteous, from the moment of the reception until the departure. Recommended.

Apartment on the mezzanine floor in an area full of plants, flowers, swimming pool and relaxation area. Very well-kept and equipped with everything for cooking. Terrace for dining outside. The owner, Ms. Ivana, is very helpful and friendly. The house allows you to walk to the most beautiful beaches in Tropea. Recommended.

Very beautiful place, I would definitely go back, my wife and kids loved it. Everyone is super friendly. Tip: Stair master to prepare for the hike down the 200 plus steps to get to the beautiful beach and back up when you’re done (which we did and made a huge difference).

The apartment is perfect, with an outdoor pool. Great for family vacations and not.

A wonderful place...we highly recommend it!

Apartment is nicely furnished and spread over two floors with two bathrooms. On the ground floor is a double bedroom and a small bedroom with a bed with the possibility to set up a bunk bed. The kitchen is sufficiently furnished. A washing machine is provided, Wi-Fi is not provided. The apartment is centrally located on a small side street. The train station is not far away. However, the train traffic is not disruptive. You can hear the occasional train announcements from the train station. Overall, the stay was pleasant. The communication with the landlord was quick and easy.

We had an amazing time at Marasusa. The view from the garden and pool is wonderfull and we enjoyed spending time at the pool and watching stars from the terrasse. The apartment was clean and basic, some equipment needs to be renewed but all in all a great stay to explore the beautiful beaches and places in Kalabria.

I absolutely loved this stay! The location was perfect—peaceful and very close to beautiful beaches. The host was so kind and welcoming, and everything felt easy and comfortable. I truly wish I had stayed longer. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Carmela was helpful and very attentive, a property with a lovely garden. Our studio apartment had a terrace from which you could see the sea. The location of her apartment is truly strategic, allowing you to move around easily and reach both the beautiful city of Tropea and the various beaches around.

The apartment is in a very good location close to the beach and castle. It matches the description, has everything you need. We had a great time there with the proximity of Tropea, Capo Vaticano, Vibo Valentia, the Serra de San Bruno An excellent base for enjoying the area or the sea

Carlo’s place was amazing! The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The apartment had everything our family needed for our short two night stay in Scilla. Scilla is a beautiful little town. Everything was walkable and the locals are friendly. The apartment is close to a small beach where we rented chairs and spent a good part of the day. The larger beach is walkable as well- it’s beautiful but more crowded. Carlo was very responsive and a great host! If we visit Scilla again, we will definitely stay here!

Luca was very friendly and helpful with finding the place since our maps brought us to another location, he even let us in early to get ready for the wedding that evening. The place was clean and quiet which was exactly what we needed

Beautiful and quiet place in the center of a charming town. Amazing beach nearby. We'll be back.

We stayed on this space for 3 days. Was super clean. Giovanna showed us everything at check-in. We were in Scilla or on the ferry in Sicily within 10 minutes. If you walked down the street, you were right by the sea and could look over to Sicily. The only minor thing that bothered us was the motorists. The house is located on a curve, i.e. here you can lift from any direction. Especially in the morning from 8:00 am it was quite annoying, at the other times it had not bothered us. I recommend the place for a trip to Scilla or to come to Sicily.

A beautiful place to rest and recharge. Hosts who have made us feel like home. Breakfast is spectacular and all the pastries and homemade jams are well worth trying. Delicious coffees and oranges freshly picked from the tree. Definitely one of those places to recommend.

Rocco's apartment is in a fantastic location in Scilla, with sea views and easy access to the whole town on foot. Do be prepared to do plenty of walking, including up and down the steps to the lungomare and Chianalea (but it is worth it!) The facilities in the apartment are fairly basic - the kitchen is small with just a 3 burner gas hob, no oven or microwave. However, we stayed there for 2 weeks and cooked the majority of our meals, which we were able to enjoy in the private 'garden room'. There were only 2 of us, so it was fine, but it would be difficult to cook for a larger party. Rocco is a very responsive and proactive host, and was able to help with transport to and from the station (thank you Carlo) and any queries. Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and would use this apartment again if we return to Scilla.

My friend and I arrived by train and Vittoria picked us up in the car and took us straight to the house. The house respected Vittoria's descriptions and we had a great time. Vittoria is very kind and helpful, she welcomed us in a friendly way and was always available for anything. He also gave us various tips on where and what to visit and also advised us to take a scooter for travel, as the area is rather up and down and not flat. We were close to the sea and the beaches were a short ride away by scooter. Impeccable view from the house, you are also surrounded by nature. There is also a swimming pool and a bar. It was really fantastic Vittoria really welcomed us as if we were at home. Highly recommended for those who want to stay in Ricadi.

Annelis house is close to the beach and offers a marvelous view over the sea. Anneli is great and generous, she allowed as a really late checkout. Communication with her was absolutely easy and she always answered very fast. Since she wasn't around we were taken care of by Loraine who is lovely and who gave us a lot of useful informations. The house itself is enough big for a family with 4kids, the beds a comfortable and the kitchen offers everything you need. Off-season you have to drive a little bit to the next supermarket since there are not many people in the area, but on the other hand we were almost alone at the beach and that was worth it. We loved to be there and are hoping to come again soon.

The property is an agriturismo on a high quality olive farm. We really enjoyed the tour that Anita gave us and we learned a lot about the production of good olive oil. The house is a simple, nicely done property with a lovely pool. The nearby Ionia coast is lovely. We were doing a long cycle trip - it’s preferable to have a car for this location as you’ll need to shop and there’s nothing nearby.

Great well maintained structure, great location to quickly reach the necessary amenities and beaches. Only note that the mattresses were not comfortable. Overall we had a great time and the pool is an added value when you don't want to move around by car.

We really enjoyed the time at the place. Functionally furnished, everything you need. Close to the sea really great and very clean water at the end of May before the season. A restaurant within walking distance, the pizza there is great, but also the fish dishes. From 01.06 there is also a bar on the beach and on weekends the Jugaad Lounge is very cozy. The fact that we were right at the entrance gate of the house did not bother us. There are loungers and a beach umbrella if you take the umbrella stand to the beach, nothing will fly away. There are great gelaterias and restaurants in Davoli max 10 min by car. We had a perfect 7 days and only missed the pool a little, which should have been filled on 06/01. The people there and the fantastic landscape made up for it. ;-)

Francesco and Guido welcomed us warmly and made sure our stay went smoothly. We stayed 17 nights in August. The place is beautiful, very well cared for and very peaceful. A place of other times cared for with extreme taste. The house has a beautiful patio where you can have nice dinners and the pool is a fantastic space when you want to relax. The sea is very close and offers a wide free beach (no amenities), but if you want to find equipped spaces nearby. To reach the house there is a dirt road to travel carefully, but absolutely feasible.

Highly recommended for people who expect privacy. It’s a modest but Clean and comfortable apartment. All things in descrption were found inside although it takes a bit time to guess for example how to turn on THE washing machine ,THE oven or warm Water. Instructions from Valentina are however clean. You can chill outside with beautiful view of perfectly maintained garden and sea view . THE biggest plus is also Access to beautiful pool, water is clean and its pretty big, circa 18 metres of length. Valentina is very caring person and despite not being present in Calabria , she gives all details about check in, house rules , places to visit, where to eat or buy local cheese. That was very helpful for us and I’m sure without her tips we would be unaware of many things around.

We had a very nice time. Alex and Julia's place exceeded our expectations! Clean and comfortably furnished. There was nothing missing. Up on the roof terrace, we had a great view of the sea and the mountains. We highly recommend the accommodation with the great location and would be happy to come back!
