House vacation rentals in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica

This was an exceptional stay. The hosts, Sonia and Paolo, went out of their way to make us feel welcome and assist. From meeting us on a nearby road to guide us to the house, to the clear information (all written and verbal) and recommendations for local restaurants and services; it was above anything we expected or had experienced before. The house was spotless and very comfortable with all amenities and some very generous welcoming gifts including local delicacies. We would recommend this stay highly to anyone visiting the area.

Extremely beautiful second house, it exudes class; private entrance gate with long driveway with fruit tree to house. Elegantly designed house which fits in the area on a mountainside, surrounded by large garden full of old olive trees. The owner is super told when explaining the house that olive oil in the kitchen comes from your own garden and not to be concerned if it runs out, there is more. Furthermore, there is terrace around the house both in the sun or out of the sun. Excess of kitchen items, fine oven and BBQ. Enjoy the sun.

Nice and practical house with everything you need! Very clean. Lovely large terrace overlooking the sea. Clean and nice pool just nearby. Walking distance to beach, free sun loungers and parasols. Crystal clear water. We got quick and good help from Britta and co as AC in the living room didn't work. This place is highly recommended!

The perfect location to be close to Tropea but also have privacy and peace. Luisa was very kind and was always available to answer our questions. The appartment was very clean and had everything we needed, the parking space was also very appreciated. Highly recommend staying here if you want to be in a peaceful space while also being close to the beaches.

Antonio and his family are great hosts. The house is beautiful and the facilities are great. Whenever we contacted Antonio he responded within 10 minutes and he was very helpful with everything we asked about. This is a great place to stay.

First experience with AirB&B and I couldn't have started better. The very clean property is very tidy and has the strong point of the very comfortable garden and swimming pool that make the stay very relaxing. Perfect also because I had a medium-large dog. The friendly and helpful owners were always able to respond to my needs. The location is strategic, even if you need the car, the center or commercial activities are close. The area is quiet. I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your hospitality and clean very apartment.

We felt completely comfortable. Thank you so much!

idyllic mountain village surrounded by friendly Italian people. In winter it can get cold in the house, even if in the morning the sun is shining surrounded by lemon trees. We always had power outages. It was worth the trip. 🍋🌞🍊

We had an amazing time, the apartment and the view from the terrace is beautiful! Monica is a wonderful host!

Super special location, like living in a monument. Loved the big balcony which, with the sun is amazing for some morning yoga! 🧘

Perfect spot in a beautiful town.

A fantastic place to go on vacation. Everything you need for 6 people is available in the house. Plenty of space and you feel at home within minutes. You need a car to explore the surrounding area, but there is plenty of space on the property for large cars. We didn't want to leave and can definitely imagine coming back - if only to admire the future pool (which was still missing this time for the full 5-star rating - but is probably in the works).

Special thanks to Alessandro, he is a friendly and helpful person who made us feel immediately at home. He provided us with useful tips on the area and places to visit. The accommodation is great for location and tranquility and corresponds in all respects to the description. Highly recommended.

Bova is an enchanting town, an excellent base for exploring the sites of the Amendolea stream and 20 minutes from beautiful beaches. That interesting mix of culture and blue sea that only the south can offer. The altitude also allows you to sleep in the cool without air conditioning (which I personally don't appreciate). There are also cozy restaurants in Bova. Alessandra and her husband are very helpful and kind (they also brought us prickly pears (peeled) from their garden). The Grecanica in general allowed us to avoid crowds (even in August) and to enjoy an impeccable sea. Highly recommended

We couldn’t have more luck with the apartment and the host! The location and views from the beautiful roof terrace are incredible and hosts extremely friendly. Highly recommend!

Beautifully clean, quiet and delightful sea breezes in the beach front. Weather wasn’t so good but the ever changing colours of the sea was magic! Restaurants nearby are fantastic too!

Lovely big house with lots of space to hang out and eat. Short walk to everything. Good facilities.

Great location. outside the ZTL but easily walkable into the town. Great safe parking.

Hidden gem, very rustic, outstanding views, great restaurants! Antonia and Giulia are wonderful, attentive hostesses! Unique property, loved our stay!

Bright and spacious apartment with a large terrace, unbeatable views and a wonderful host! Our host was one of the very best we have ever had. Adriano held us a parking spot on arrival, drove us and our luggage to the apartment and also carried our luggage down the one flight of stairs. Whatever we needed, Adriano provided. The washing machine broke down near the end of our stay, we reported it to Adriano and he replaced it the same day! The apartment itself was perfect. Located in the heart of the historic centre and just steps away from restaurants, bars and shopping, it was wonderful to explore all the small streets and alleys as well as the beaches below the city but it was so hard to tear ourselves away from the terrace! It was so relaxing, we could see the beaches below, Stromboli on the horizon and we enjoyed many beautiful sunsets. The daily market was within walking distance and we cooked many meals in the apartment with fresh ingredients. Highly recommended!

Well organized and clean accommodation, easily accessible and in a strategic position to be able to reach all places on the coast of the gods. Very quiet and peaceful area. Well-stocked kitchen with every utensil and very welcoming private garden. Rosa has always been a host present at every request and information.

We were glad to find Antonio’s place at the last moment. The place felt right at home. Exactly what we wanted. A peaceful place to stay with nature. The place has a sea view over the olive trees. Parking is on site with plenty of space. Train station is within walking distance (a plus). Antonio was very responsive and let us in the apartment earlier than we expected. Grazie mille Antonio! È stato un piacere!!!

Salvatore and his daughter, Melania are very helpful and attentive hosts. The place is perfectly located - 5 min on foot from beautiful and almost empty beach. There are 3 big stores and big commercial center in the neighborhood. The house is specious and nice, however I would suggest renovation - especially the bathroom and second bedroom, where mattresses definitely should be replaced. The rest is good - kitchen has basic equipment (some pots, frying pans, cutlery, cups and glasses). There is a fridge and gas plate to cook. There is no air conditioning, but it’s not a problem at all. The place offers washing machine if you need. You can eat lemons and basil straight from the garden behind the house, which is very nice. There is another super nice thing - there are two very friendly dogs living in the property :) We spent great 10 days in Salvatore’s house - thank you!
