My establishment is a special place because it was previously a hotel-restaurant run by my parents, and where I grew up. Today, I offer hospitality in the adjacent apartment to the main building. I have renovated all the rooms to ensure maximum comfort, equipping them with private bathrooms, air conditioning, television, and a refrigerator.
My guests will immediately feel at ease, as they will be in the center, just steps away from the avenue and the sea. I realize that they feel calm and immediately welcomed as part of the family, and this makes me happy. They know they can count on me in case of need, and thanks to the restaurant, I can express my culinary skills to satisfy their increasingly demanding palates.
Undoubtedly, the main advantage of my B&B is its privileged location. In addition, the friendliness, attention to the cleanliness of the rooms and the provision of quality linen, along with a good breakfast, make my establishment truly special. I constantly strive to improve my guests' stay through small and continuous renovations, in order to make the experience more enjoyable and comfortable.
The delightful "Porto di Mare" is a cozy restaurant specializing in dishes made with fresh local fish. Our culinary offer focuses on simple but high-quality dishes: handmade pasta, seasonal fish, fresh vegetables, and homemade desserts. Our wines mainly come from the renowned Spadafora Winery, one of the most famous wineries in Calabria. The attention to detail in our dishes and the care for our guests are of primary importance to our staff. For this reason, we always recommend booking in advance for groups of more than 5 people.
My name is Rosalba, and I am the owner and most involved person in this establishment. I am the daughter of a long-time hotelier and a mother passionate about cooking, from whom I inherited a love for traditional, healthy, and high-quality cuisine.
Ever since I was a child, I have developed a passion for hospitality and getting to know new people, making them feel like an integral part of our establishment. I deeply love my country and wish to share with all our guests its most beautiful places: the sanctuary of Madonna della Grotta, located right in front of our establishment; the island of Dino, with its unique caves; and finally, Aieta, our medieval historic center, elected as THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE IN ITALY, where tradition is still alive today.
My structure is located in a strategic position, in the center but quiet, because via Mazzini is located between the boulevard and the sea. As a result, everything is within walking distance: shops, walks, aperitifs, and restaurants. Along the comfortable promenade, you can reach the Fiuzzi cliff, in front of the island of Dino, accessible by shuttles available for walks or dives.
The beach below the structure is equipped with well-equipped beach clubs for the comfort of tourists, especially the Budda Beach, a cutting-edge beach club for young people, with a calendar of events throughout the summer season.
The Acqua Fans park is open all day until late at night and offers shows. The Le Gorgonie beach club is managed by Mr. Ennio, a famous fisherman who organizes fishing trips, even at night, abundant in octopuses, giant squids, shrimps, and lobsters. Often, those who participate in these trips are lucky enough to witness the spectacle of dolphins, whales, and giant turtles.
In the evening, Praia a Mare changes its appearance, offering different areas of entertainment and shows, such as the highly appreciated "Dinella" venue, located in a panoramic position on the cliff.
