Gorgeous sea/beach view. Perfect to see sunrise & moon rise. We loved the patio. Room is very spacious. Furniture are outdated but the patio/view made us not care. Breakfast was good. Staff are very friendly. Door / door knobs are very old and makes creaking noise. Refrigerator was old and not working. Very convenient location to restaurants and shops. (Even grocery store) All walking distance. Beach is private and hardly anyone on the beach. (Off season also) Overall it was great!

Well present from the outside and great staff at reception. Basic clean room. Noise from rooms next door toilet flushing and bathroom very loud and annoying. TV very temperamental accessing channels. Free parking next to the hotel available. Breakfast, very very basic, on par with the basic Ibis one. Restaurant, everything white, felt like a wedding was about to happen. Cook needs to lean the difference between medium well done steaks and rare steaks. Ours were still mooing on the plate.

Hotel Melissa - Calabria

I visited during the off season, when Hotel Melissa was one of the few places to stay in the area. There is very little to do or see in Torre Melissa, but the weather was lovely and warm, the beach is beautiful and completely empty. I had a lovely conversation with the local fishermen who were emptying their catch while repairing their nets on the beach in front of the hotel. The hotel, which has one of the only "upscale" restaurants in the area was packed on a Friday night. The food was delicious and fresh, while the service was great and the servers friendly. The town is only a few minutes drive to nearby Torre Ciro' and about 25 minutes from its mountain top sister, Ciro', both of which are pretty and worth the effort.

L'hôtel Mélissa est un très bel hôtel où nous avons été bien accueillis et avons pu profiter d'un parking privé gratuit. Nous avons passé une excellente nuit dans une chambre silencieuse et ne parlons pas du petit-déjeuner absolument remarquable par sa variété, sa qualité et sa présentation.

Struttura esternamente ristrutturata che gode di una posizione invidiabile fronte mare. Purtroppo le stanze avrebbero bisogno di una importante ristrutturazione. Il bagno non è climatizzato. Il copriletto non pulitissimo.

Ottima struttura

Sorpreso positivamente dal servizio in spiaggia e dalla pulizia nell’hotel ( colazione a buffet e molto varia) avevamo scelto pernotto e prima colazione poiché con noi stava anche il pelosetto a 4 zampe anche lui accolto benissimo non ultimo una spiaggia dedicata a loro a circa 500 metri dalla struttura quindi molto comoda per chi come me non lo lascia mai 😄😄😄😄😄

Un buon compromesso tra qualità e prezzo

Direi una soluzione intelligente ad un costo più che ragionionevole, la spiaggia e proprio sotto l'albergo con sdraio e ombrellone gratuiti per i clienti. Anche la location risulta all'altezza, un po meno un palazzaccio fatiscente di fianco all'hotel ma nel complesso anche torre melissa lo trovato, a differenza di altri paesi nella zona, curato e piuttosto pulito.

Torre Melissa

Torre Melissa är en lugn liten stad. Här behöver man bil. Vi var när det inte var turistsäsong, restauranger fanns inte så många att välja, men de som fanns serverade super god mat.Alla restauranger ligger på samma gata som hotel Melissa. Hotel Melissa ligger alldeles vid havet, med sandstrand och solstolar.
