Hotel Miramare

The hotel is at the end of some bad roads toward the sea just south of Sibari off the main highway between Reggio Calabria and Taranto. It is a nice hotel, quite uniquely constructed: rooms are situated on the hotel roof and radiate off separate halls. The owner/operator was a really nice man who was very hospitable and seemed genuinely caring. He recommended an excellent seafood restaurant my first night, Lido Aurora, where I had two meals, It was close and so good. The owner also got up really early on the morning of my leaving to make coffee for me and offer me breakfast and that was so beyond the call and so appreciated. The room, though small, was immaculate and maid-service occurred every day. If you're going to the area of Sibari, this hotel is an excellent option especially for couples.

My main gripe was with the internet which worked for just a few hours at the beginning and then the end of my stay. The signal was never strong and I might as well have been without it for my whole stay. That just won't do. In this day and age, every hotel/apt/etc. simply MUST have good WiFi service. Then again the road surfaces in and out of the place were really bad and I worried about my car's axles every time I drove to and from the hotel. (Never mind the drivers coming the other way on those roads!) The breakfast was just so-so.

I like that the hotel was in the middle of nowhere. I had envisaged a nice relaxed weekend with lots of walking, running and relaxing by the sea. I was able to do all of that. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the airconditioning a blessing. The owners were also very nice. The breakfast somewhat lacking but was good enough for me

The only thing that bothered me was the event area next door. The owners told me that they are not very often but on each might there was an event with very loud music. If you close the venetian blinds and windows, it does block the sound a lot but i also had to wear earplugs to get a good night sleep. The owners seemed to suggest that some guests enjoy it.

Had a hard time finding it, but it was an incredibly quiet place very close to an empty beach, that would make it a 10+++ in warm weather months.

Attentive staff. Food at dinner. Free parking.

Place was deserted, almost as if it had closed down. Just 4 guests. Looked like they had opened just for us. A bit spooky. Bathroom door lock on the wrong way round, so could only lock from outside IF there had been somewhere in the frame for the lock to slot. That had been drilled into the door, not the frame! Breakfast didn't live up to the pictures on Booking.com, very little available.
