My partner and I had the pleasure of spending two delightful days at this beach resort, which seamlessly blends the magnificence of the ocean with the ingenuity of man. The sea's positive energy, tranquility, and natural beauty are all on full display here, and one can't help but feel invigorated and rejuvenated by the experience. The team's hard work and dedication are truly commendable, and the fresh air is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. We extend our thanks to Grandma Venere for recommending this gem to us. Endy and Salvatore, from Como to Capo d'Orlando.

Ah, the beach. What a marvel of nature. The view is simply breathtaking, as if a painting has come to life before your very eyes. The sea is so clear and pristine, it looks like a giant swimming pool just waiting for you to take a dip. And the beach itself, oh, the beach. The small pebbles under your feet make for a unique and enjoyable experience. Plus, the convenience of public showers scattered throughout the area is a godsend. It's almost too good to be true. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it.

The beach could benefit from more maintenance and additional spots to purchase refreshments. Although there are no shower facilities, the scenery and ocean are stunning. I highly recommend paying a visit.
