Praia Art Resort, an SLH Hotel

This hotel provided genuinely a wonderful experience and it was our honeymoon in early October, so it was important it would be a very enjoyable experience with great accomodation. It was towards the end of the season so it was quiet which was actually nice, but the hotel premises are big and spread out so I think if it was full it wouldn’t feel crowded. The service was really good and staff helpful but not overbearing, I have to note Emilio as he always listened to our requests and was nice to chat to. The hotel has great food culture, even the basic pasta with no toppings tasted amazing. The rooms have a rustic feel with modern elements and the bed was really comfy. The beach is really pretty and overall premises are mixed in with the nature with great decor. The hotel is in a private zone with other summer residences, so having a rental car with you is a must if you want to see other towns or visit nearby shops/restaurants. Finally, overall the Calabrian region is beautiful and more laid back than other parts of Italy.

We are on a Puglia and Calabria road trip and Praia Art was our second stop, from the moment we arrived everything was professionally done, our luggage was taken care of, we had a warm and friendly greeting, welcome drink by the beautiful beach and sea was a very nice touch, great recommendations for where to visit, all of this before we entered our beautiful sea view suite. We stayed three nights and wish we had stayed longer. The cabana you are given at check in becomes yours for the duration of the stay so it’s very easy to come and go on the beach as you please. All the staff are exceptionally well trained, new staff in the restaurant eager to please too. We ate in the restaurant every night and the food and wine and prices were all excellent. The staff are warm and friendly and this rubs off on hotel guests with people chatting and welcoming. Breakfast buffet is a little slow as you need to select your food, but no real hardship. Checkout was easy and straightforward. We would confidently recommend this hotel to our friends and family and we will be back for sure.

Hotel Room:|Our room was spotless and very well maintained. The housekeeping was excellent, and the beds were absolutely fantastic – large, comfortable, and perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The only minor issue was with the outdoor lighting, but this was fixed immediately after we reported it at the front desk.||Reception & Service:|The reception staff were extremely friendly and attentive, always greeting us warmly and eager to help.||Hotel Grounds:|The entire property is beautifully maintained, very clean, and gives a luxurious impression throughout.||Beach & Beach Bar:|The beach is cleaned daily and looks pristine. The sunbeds are wonderfully comfortable, offering plenty of shade and a perfect spot to relax. The beach bar is modern, clean, and service is friendly. Prices for drinks are on the high side, but no more than what you’d pay in the center of a major Western European city.||Breakfast:|Breakfast is tasty with a good variety, but unfortunately there’s no buffet. We would have preferred being able to help ourselves instead of asking for every little thing. Items like scrambled eggs are charged extra, which feels a bit unreasonable given the overall price level.||Restaurant:|The food itself is very good, fresh, and of high quality. However, the service does not live up to the 5-star standard – the staff clearly try hard, but they lack the training to serve food and drinks in a confident and professional way. This was a bit of a disappointment considering the prices.||Overall:|If you’re not overly concerned about budget and are willing to overlook a few shortcomings, this resort is absolutely worth a stay. By Northern European standards, we would rate it 4 stars, with potential for 4-star-superior if the service were brought up to an international level.

Our experience at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms are decorated with great taste and artistic flair ,truly impressive. The housekeeping staff did an outstanding job, everything was spotless. On the other hand, the restaurant and room service could use some improvement, especially during breakfast.|Honestly, I was going to give 4 stars, but I’m adding a fifth one for the hotel boutique, which felt like a small museum. The gentleman there introduced us to all the local products with detailed explanations and great attention to detail.|We would have loved to take the boat tour, but it was a bit windy on our last day, so we decided to save it for our next visit — and we’ll definitely be back!!😊

A true five star experience in Calabria. The hotel has such a unique charm with each detail carefully considered. The staff bring a feeling of calm and care. The hotel feels private and secluded whilst close enough to some interesting local sights. Thank you ❤️

My stay at Praia Art Resort was amazing! The resort itself is beautiful, but what truly sets it apart is the staff. Every single person I interacted with was warm, professional, and attentive to the smallest detail. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, and it made all the difference. Thank you to Salvatore, Alessandro, Anthony, Emilio and the whole Praia Art Resort team who contributed to creating an atmosphere that was both luxurious and personal. It was this exceptional level of care that transforms resort into a truly memorable boutique hotel. A true boutique gem - we will definitely be back! Grazie mille!

We stayed at this beautiful resort for five days in July. We loved the architecture and style of the resort. If you appreciate something special, this is the place for you. We were particularly impressed by the restaurant right by the sea with its excellent Italian cuisine. The whole team is extremely friendly and very helpful. We had 5 happy days.

I had a really good time at praia art hotel, let me start with that!!! They really excel in some aspects: for instance the beach was great, with allocated sunbeds and very friendly staff! The place is extremely nice, the rooms are stunning but they need a little love. One could tell in many little details that they lacked maintanance with some things not working.
