Staying in Roccella Ionica

We HIGHLY recommend booking your accommodation before the end of 2023, as Roccella Ionica is a popular vacation destination in the summer and will be booked by early 2024.


Below are two hotel options we recommend for your stay in Roccella Ionica. Both are about 10-15 minutes from our wedding venue.


Alternatively, there are Airbnb's available in Roccella Ionica that you can book if you are a larger group or a family as it may be a more affordable option.


Hotels may offer "full board" or "half board" options. Full board means breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in your stay. Half board means breakfast and dinner is included.


We will be looking at shuttle services to take you to and from the wedding venue.

For those looking for accommodation for a large group or a family, we recommend looking into Airbnb as this may be a more affordable option than booking multiple rooms at one of the hotels. We also highly recommend booking an Airbnb with air conditioning, as July will be hot.
