The hotel is family owned and operated since 1960. Fabio and Loretta are the most gracious hosts who go out of the way to make you feel that you are at your home away from home. The hotel restaurant staff were all pleasant and helpful, especially Giuseppe and Carlotta, the owner's delightful daughter!
The hotel restaurant served wonderful meals at very reasonable prices. They also provided vegan meals for my partner who was able to enjoy several meals in the restaurant, which hasn't happened in the 3 years I've been with her. The breakfast, which is included, had some of the most tasty croissants I've had. There is also indoor and outdoor seating under a lovely Terrace.
The hotel sits in front of a cobblestone beach that is met by an ocean full of surfers. Bonsai Beach Surf school is on the location. The beach also provides amazing sunset photo opportunities.
The hotel is also pet friendly. The house dog, King Arthur is a sweetheart. While the hotel is actually in Santa Marinella, it is a pleasant walk to the Santa Servera Castle.
The hotel itself was built and designed in the 1960s by Fabio's father. While the decor is a little bit dated, it has a charm and character that is warm and inviting, as well as walls covered by lots of artwork. Some of this artwork was created by the owner himself. Fabio started running the hotel, taking it over with his family in 1987.
We feel like we have made new friends and family that we will see again in the future.
Situated in the characteristic Piazza Trieste, this hotel is set in the center of the seaside town of Santa Marinella, beside the wonderful Odescalchi Castle.

The hotel was in a good location from the Rome FCO airport for us to rest after flying in from the USA. The breakfast was very good.

In the light of day, the place looked fine, and I suppose it'll be nice for summer travelers given its proximity to the sea. The hotel manager was also much nicer to us the next day.

It was the perfect stay for my quick visit to Santa Marinella! In this cute little square with a grocery store and multiple restaurants/coffee shops. Close to the water and fun area to just wander around! Like a 5 minute walk to the train station!

Very helpful owners - excellent communication before our arrival. Although the building is on a main road, it's not heavily used at night and we had no difficulty sleeping. Easy parking on the adjacent side street. Exceptionally generous breakfast on the lovely first-floor terrace. Pleasant location with the Lungomare (promenade) only 100m down the side street. Hosts recommended 3 local restaurants, all within 10 minutes walk. It was a Monday evening and only one of them (Il Trabucco) was open - but it was very good indeed, an excellent recommendation. Room had quiet effective aircon. Really nice towels, bedding and toiletries provided.

Tutto comodo e carino. Ho apprezzato molto il minifrigo.

Santa Marinella is a very quiet town, with very few food options at the time I visited, second week of April. I feel that the beach and bay area could be renovated to be more welcoming. The best restaurant to eat was Punicum, their food was 10/10. It wasn't well advertised, I stumbled upon it whilst out walking one day.

The ocean is steps away. We were there off season so many things were closed. Come a little later in April.

This was a pleasant place to spend a few days before taking a cruise from Civitiveccia which is just one rail stop away. Winter temperatures were excellent for walking around the resort and visiting adjacent towns by rail.
Although winter, the resort still has the main facilities available.

The hosts were wonderful.
The hosts were wonderful. The room was great for a night or two. Located close to beach. The small fridge was appreciated. The pool was refreshing after a long day on the road... more of a large soaking pool with attached jet tub. Lots of outdoor seating and lovely second floor terrace. The breakfast was exceptional.

great location, surrounded by really good restuarants. close to train station and supermarket next door.
host is fantastic and nothing was to much trouble.
tip for the beach: go by train to Santa severa it will take 8minutes on the train then a 20 minute walk to a great free beach where you can take you own chairs/umbrella for free or hire a lounge and umbrella for 9€
cafes and bars everywhere.
lounges/umbrella will cost 40€ in Santa marinella and the beach is poor.
It was amazing! The best my experience. Very nice place, with swimming pool, terrace, close to the beach. And very very very nice owner! He prerared breakfast 1 hour earlier then shcedule for us, because we had to go early morning. We were very pleasant! Perfect breakfast and coffee.
Will come again
We really enjoyed staying at Stella del Mare. It’s perfect for your days in Santa Marinella. The rooms are new and very clean. It is right on the main street and there is a big parking lot available. Next to the hotel you can also find a small rocky beach, very relaxing and peaceful.
The stuff were great, kindly and friendly. the location is awsome, like 3 minutes by walking to the beach. 10 minutes to the supermarkets and 10 mins by walking to the center beach. the breakfast was good enough, not self service but we could say a simple italian breakfast.
Clean and comfortable place to stay. Very modern and nice room inside. The possibility to wash and dry our clothes was very appreciated. The host was communicative and recommended restaurants in the city. Very near to the train station and the beach.

Beautiful villa close to Rome, beach and the cruise port in Civitavecchia. Absolutely fantastic service who helped us numerous times. Quality breakfast served on a beautiful terrace with seaview. Thank you for the great stay!
One of the most amazing apartments I have stayed at in Italy. The building is dreamy, location is perfect and the host is so helpful, friendly, and welcoming! Already missing the amazing terrace and beautiful sandy beach!

The staff at this hotel is amazing. Such friendly faces at every interaction. The Bar man was great, creating his own visions of cocktails for us made our stay even more memorable.
The property is just 5 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes from the beach. It’s close to so many lovely bars and shops and restaurants… location is superb.
