Hotel La Principessa just outside of Amantea bills itself not as a mere hotel, but as a hotel village. And it is. The sprawling property includes hotel accommodations, a large restaurant, a full bar, an Olympic pool, an amphitheater, a church, and a full-scale conference center, all within a two-minute walk of the beach.  Rooms are large, well air-conditioned, and include balconies, but decor is sparse and furniture is dorm-like. This is the option for the budget-conscious traveler who is less interested in physical frills but still seeks the concierge-level service of a major international brand. Private beaches, shuttle services, and genuine customer service combine to make Hotel La Principessa a strong value with single rooms typically running about $100 CAD per night.

The management of Hotel La Principessa is actively involved in Riviera dei Borghi, a group of nine villages in the region who seek to popularize their communities and attract visitors through regular promotion of cultural events including film festivals, art exhibitions, and music festivals. This strong interest in the revitalization and enduring success of Amentea and its sister villages is indicative of what drives the exceptional service at a property like Hotel La Principessa.
