[Translated by Google Translate] We discovered this hotel in June. It was a wonderful experience: a hotel with a private beach, clean rooms with a comfortable balcony overlooking the sea, excellent cuisine, extremely kind staff, and a great added bonus: the owner, Mrs. Ada, is attentive to her guests' every need. In June, we were informed about the possibility of an organized week of olive and citron harvesting, and guided visits to charming towns. From October 12th to 18th, we spent some unusual and delightful days. There were guided tours of Scalea, Diamante, Paola, Aieta, and Maratea. There was also a fig processing workshop, olive and citron harvesting, an olive oil mill, and a citron museum. All very interesting and sometimes even fun. At the end of our stay, Mrs. Ada gave us a very welcome gift of products we had tasted during the various visits throughout the week, along with accompanying snacks. Thanks again to those who managed to combine a visit to a splendid area with such rare and much-appreciated hospitality.

[Translated with Google Translate] We stayed at the property the last week of July 2025. It was an excellent experience, primarily due to the hospitality and kindness of all the staff, especially Antonio, Angela, and Mrs. Ada (the property's owner). Special mention should also be made of Francesco, the manager, who was always ready and available. The lifeguard Raphael and Francesco were always ready and available. The entertainment provided by Davide was fun. The hotel's initiatives were also great. We had a typical Calabrian dinner, and the gala evening the day before departure. The rooms were clean, well-located, and the meals were very good, with a choice of two first courses, second courses, and side dishes. The proximity to the sea is a real highlight; you can be under an umbrella in two minutes. It's an experience we'll repeat next summer.

[Translated with Google Translate] First experience at this hotel, we'll definitely be back. Everything was perfect. The hotel is seafront, the sea is clean, the pool is excellent, and the restaurant is delicious. The room is clean. They organize excursions. We went to Dino Island and the Arco Magno, which are definitely worth seeing. They accept dogs; ours had a great time. Exceptional staff, everyone, especially our waiter Marco, Davide from the entertainment team, and the very kind Immacolata from the cleaners. Warmest regards, thanks from Vanessa and Stefano

[Translated with Google Translate] We stayed at the Talao Hotel from August 16, 2025, to August 23, 2025. It was a wonderful experience. The hotel is close to the sea with private parking. The reception staff were very kind and helpful. The dining room staff were equally as friendly and ready to accommodate every guest's need. The rooms were spotless, with a complete towel change every day. The food was excellent, both for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Highly recommended for a wonderful holiday in Scalea with a beautiful, clean sea. Best regards to all the staff
