Top Traveller Review
Pizzo Beach Club is a fantastic complex
As a family of four which included two children aged 10 and 6, Pizzo Beach Club had everything that we wanted as in two pools (one with slide), easy access to the beach, football pitch and tennis courts. We had no issue in letting our boys scoot around the complex and visit the park on their own. The complex was made up of mostly Russian and Italian families with a handful of English over the 2 week period. Getting a sunbed by the pool was no problem regardless of what time you turned up. For a family of four, the patio table was very small and difficult to enjoy a relaxing meal outside and the garden could have done with some TLC and comfortable seating to enjoy the warm evenings.
The main issue was that the apartment ran adjacent to the Voi Pizzo Calabria all-inclusive Resort which meant that loud music was played during the day and evening. While this wasn’t an issue during the day as we spent this time by the pool or beach, it did continue to around 12.30 every night and could be heard inside.
A car is a necessity as there are no restaurants or bars within walking distance but there is so much to explore and see that we are considering going back again next year.

Pizzo Beach Club is a fantastic complex
First of all, communication between the property owner and the maintenance company was first class which gave us piece of mind when booking the apartment. The property itself was fine and spacious and located on the fantastic Pizzo Beach complex.
