Hotel Piccolo Mondo  

On Calabria’s Tyrrhenian coast in the seaside town of Acquappesa, a short walk from Intavolata Beach. The hotel sits near Queen’s Rock and Cetraro Marina, about 2 km from the Terme Luigiane spa and roughly 68–78 km from Lamezia Terme airport. Family-friendly and beach-accessible, it’s a compact coastal base with private beach options.

This Art Deco, family-run hotel has 28 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, plasma/satellite TVs, safes and private balconies or terraces. Bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries; in-room massages and daily housekeeping are offered. Set in a palm-filled garden with a small pinewood and private parking, the place serves simple seaside living with a local twist.

On-site extras: hair salon, massage room, solarium, karaoke, ping-pong, picnic and BBQ area, children’s playground and babysitting (surcharge).
