Catanzaro hotels - Hotel Residence Ariaperta

Hotel Residence Ariaperta, near Catanzaro

Hotel Residence Ariaperta is near Catanzaro on Calabria's eastern (Ionian) coastline. This hotel and wellness centre sits on the Gulf of Squillace, one of the loveliest stretches of waterfront in southern Italy.

Rooms at this Calabria hotel have a private bathroom with shower and toilet, minibar, sitting area, coffee/tea maker, central heating and air conditioning, direct phone, desk and lamp, colour TV, breakfast and bath robes. There are also double rooms equipped for guests with disabilities, and apartments sleeping six - ideal for family groups. The sauna and wellness centre is in another property a few kilometres from the main hotel.

The front desk is open around the clock, offering safe storage and left luggage facilities. There is a lounge bar, free parking for guests, and the hotel sits in lovely gardens. This is the perfect base from which to enjoy one of the prettiest bays in the Mediterranean. From here too, you can quickly be over on Calabria's western (Tyrrhenian) coastline - Italy is only a few miles across at this point.

The main town of the area is Catanzaro, which has good shops, restaurants and bars. There are some lovely little coastal towns and old fishing villages along this coast, while inland there is the rugged, untamed beauty of Calabria, and its mountains. The Sila Massif is not only great for hiking, it has a winter sports industry - though large tracts of the region are simply beautiful wilderness.
