L'oasi di Giorgia, B&B with a sea-view breakfast
L'oasi di Giorgia is a bed and breakfast in Cittadella del Capo, on Calabria's Tyrrhenian coast, with a garden, parking and a sea-view terrace where breakfast is served. It suits couples and families who want a warm welcome and some quiet, but you will need to plan for the station and airport, which are far.

Where L'oasi di Giorgia is and how to get there
L'oasi di Giorgia is on Via Ciro Menotti, in Cittadella del Capo, on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria. Lido Fabrizio is about 800 m away, and some guests mention being close to the sea.
For the station and airport, though, you will need to plan. Praja Ajeta Tortora station is about 45 km away and Lamezia Terme airport about 91 km. For me a car is the most convenient choice, not least because the property has parking that guests appreciate.
What the rooms are like
The rooms are designed for anyone who wants the essentials without fuss. All have a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a fridge, and some have a balcony or patio.
- The view. Depending on the room you face the sea or the garden. One guest says their room opened directly onto the garden.
- The cleanliness. This is one of the most frequently mentioned points, with spacious, tidy rooms and fresh-smelling linen and towels.
- The bed. A recent review calls it very comfortable, and others describe modern rooms looked after down to the details.
Free Wi-Fi is included too, which for a B&B of this kind is exactly what you need.
What guests say about L'oasi di Giorgia
On Google the rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 54 reviews, a very high score that comes through again and again in the comments. The tone is almost always the same, with a lot of satisfaction and a wish to return.
Many guests put the hosts' welcome first, describing them as kind, helpful and able to make you feel at home, even those arriving late in the evening. Then there is the breakfast, which one reviewer calls generous, carefully prepared and full of good-quality products, some of them local. A few reviews are years old, but the recent ones say the same things.
Breakfast on the terrace and in the garden
Breakfast is taken in the garden with its terrace and, for many guests, it is one of the best moments of the day. It is a buffet and includes Italian options too.
Sea views, quiet and a laid table: this is where the B&B plays its best card. If you like to start the day slowly, this terrace alone is worth the booking.
What to know before you book
I found no serious criticism in the reviews I read, and I say so honestly. There are practical things to bear in mind, though.
| What guests like | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| The hosts' welcome | It is a small, intimate property, not a large resort |
| A generous breakfast with sea views | Not every room has the same view |
| Clean rooms with air conditioning | The station and airport are far away |
| Parking and garden | There are 54 reviews, a small sample |
If the sea view matters to you, ask for a room with a view when you book. It is the most useful thing you can do.
Who it is for and what to do nearby
I would recommend it to couples and families looking for a quiet base near the sea, with a host who looks after guests. One review also mentions a stay with a child and a small dog, so it is worth asking about pets.
It is not the place for anyone wanting entertainment, a spa or resort-style services. Nearby, the beach and the food are the reasons most often given for coming, and the Secca di Castrocucco is listed as a point of interest. To continue your trip in Calabria, see B&B AmoRosita in Diamante, Vincent B&B in Scalea, L'Orologio Guest Rooms in Scalea, B&B Green House in Morano Calabro or Pian delle Vigne in Praia a Mare.
