Hotel Villaggio Old River

Very quiet and relaxing village hotel, ideal for those who want to disconnect from the daily routine. There is no entertainment, the swimming pool is free, no beach service. Half board is available, for those who want to have lunch there is a bar and an open restaurant. Focused on sustainability, everything in the room (including air conditioning) is activated only when the room key card is inserted. Water and drinks for a fee, all marked on the room. Very good food and with adequate portions. Breakfast with buffet of sweet and savory things, vending machines for various drinks (a second coffee machine and similar would be useful); at dinner there is a buffet mainly of vegetables (Tropea onion always available), a first course, a second course and a fruit buffet. The choices of the first and second course for dinner are to be indicated at breakfast. For a fee, air conditioning, safe and minibar in the room. The hotel's wifi is essential because the cell phone signal is absent or poor; for wifi an enabling code is provided which must be renewed every week. Changing towels every 2-3 days. The idea of ​​limiting the environmental impact is a good one, an issue that can no longer be postponed. In my opinion, water at dinner, air conditioning and a safe should be included in the hotel costs, they are essential for a peaceful and suitable stay. We found the bed pillows a little high which did not make sleeping easier. There are no umbrellas/deckchairs on the beach, no agreements, either the beach is free or you rent from those who are there, we found Torre Marino on the right, currently 25 euros per day. The beach is a mix of sand, gravel, stones and rocks with crystal clear water. It is not possible to take long walks both due to the conformation and the interruptions of the coast. For those who love to travel and see the coast it is mandatory to have a car or motorbike also through rental (compare rental costs).

A fantastic place surrounded by greenery very friendly and always available staff we thank Mrs Patrizia the Chef Francesco evenings in the company of good music the Director Francesco always attentive to the needs of us guests at the bar very good cocktails prepared by Dominic and Salvatore

Nice residence, well cared for and maintained. Garden and vegetable patch looked after by Mr. Mercurio and administration looked after by Mr. Francesco, make a functioning couple. The kitchen with zero meter vegetables 😉, the chefs and the dining room staff who always give a smile, is truly a decent 3 star. Always buffet, regardless of full meals, they have a menu that never repeats, at least for a week. Beautiful swimming pool, divided into three sections, even for small children, I think about 50 cm high. Preferable to take the car to reach other beaches. I highly recommend the village residence, it's not very big and the children can't go too far away, apart from the gate always closed 😉. Thank you all, you made me discover a beautiful place and beautiful places. Maurice.

Small but very beautiful structure; Barbara's welcome and efficiency at reception were impeccable. The garden is very well looked after thanks to Mercurio who, in addition to being friendly and giving valuable advice on what to see in the surrounding area, has even created a vegetable garden of which he is rightly proud. The restaurant, well organized and quiet with kind, friendly and helpful staff, has a big flaw: it doesn't even provide a carafe of water from the tap since drinks are excluded from the half board or full board option and are ALL paid for. I find this (also considering the fact that I am a teetotaler and don't drink carbonated drinks) absurd and unbearable given that they provide a jug of water for breakfast. . Nice and renovated rooms but cleanliness needs improvement.

Old River is synonymous with quality local products (or rather zero metre) and rich and exquisite cuisine. Friendly, professional and helpful staff for any eventuality. Stunning swimming pool, a stone's throw from the sea and well-kept green spaces. The right choice for relaxing and enjoying your summer! Only applause and thanks for dear Ciccio and his team.
