Hotel Onda Bleu  

Perched on Italy’s Ionian coast between Catanzaro and Crotone, in the seaside town of Botricello. About 1.2 miles from Botricello beach and roughly 15 miles from Crotone Airport, this pet-friendly hotel gives easy access to Le Castella castle and the Capo Colonna ruins.

Small, modern-feeling hotel with 32 simply styled rooms in black or wood tones. Rooms are air-conditioned and often open onto balconies or patios with lateral or frontal sea views. Expect practical touches like a flat-screen TV, mini-bar, safety deposit box and private bathrooms with bidet, plus a garden, shared lounge and terrace for downtime.

On-site restaurant and bar with summer terrace dining, snack bar, free guarded parking and free Wi‑Fi throughout. Diving club access and car rental are available nearby, and guests get discounts at several beach clubs. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings on your balcony and stroll down to the sand within minutes.

Meeting-ready conference hall, free Wi‑Fi and an elevator for accessible floors. Staff can arrange transfers; laundry, dry-cleaning and safe-deposit services are also available.

The restaurant focuses on local specialties and Italian dishes, with an extensive buffet breakfast featuring regional products and freshly baked croissants. In summer, meals move to the outdoor terrace for dining with a view.
