Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Palace, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) to minimize potential street noise from Via Nazionale. Additionally, if possible, opt for a room on the north side of the hotel to avoid direct sunlight.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be closer to the hotel's service entrance and potentially more prone to noise. Rooms near the lift might also experience some disturbance.
Best views
Rooms on the south side (4th or 5th floor) might offer a view of the surrounding cityscape, although this cannot be confirmed without more specific information about the hotel's orientation.
Quietest floors
The 3rd and 4th floors are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that they are not directly adjacent to the lift or service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is located on a main street, Via Nazionale, some street noise can be expected. The hotel's location in Catanzaro, a city with narrow streets, may also contribute to some background noise.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony to take advantage of the city views and fresh air. If you're arriving by car, be aware that parking options in Catanzaro can be limited, so it's a good idea to research parking alternatives in advance.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Find train tickets →Catanzaro City Centre (Piazza Matteotti) → Near Agriturismo Il Lago del Passante (Località Passante)
💡 Alight at the 'Passante' stop and walk 800 metres downhill—the agriturismo’s sign is easy to miss. This bus doesn’t run on Sundays or public holidays, so plan accordingly.
Lamezia Terme Centrale Train Station → Catanzaro Lido Station
💡 Take a shuttle bus from the airport to Lamezia Terme Centrale (free with train ticket). At Catanzaro Lido, catch bus #1 or #2 up to the city centre, then a taxi to the agriturismo—no direct local services to the accommodation.
Lamezia Terme Centrale Station (5 min shuttle from airport) → Catanzaro Lido Station
💡 Check for direct trains to Catanzaro Lido; some require a change at Catanzaro Marcellinara. Avoid delays in summer when tracks get heat-affected.
Lamezia Terme International Airport (SUF) → Catanzaro City Bus Station (Piazza Stazione)
💡 Get off at Piazza Stazione, not the Lido stop. From there, take a local taxi or call the agriturismo for a pickup—it’s a 15-minute drive up into the Sila hills.
Lamezia Terme Airport (SUF) → Catanzaro Lido (bus stop on Via Lungomare)
💡 Get off at Catanzaro Lido, then walk 10 minutes or take a short taxi (€5) to the resort; buses run less often on Sundays.
Lamezia Terme International Airport (SUF) → Agriturismo Il Lago del Passante
💡 Book ahead with a local taxi service like Taxi Lamezia to avoid surge pricing. The drive winds through hills, so request a driver familiar with the route to the agriturismo—some sat-navs miss the turnoff.
Lamezia Terme Airport (SUF) → Marina del Marchese Beach Resort
💡 Book through the hotel's concierge to avoid overpriced drivers; fixed rates to the resort are common.
Catanzaro Lido Station → Marina del Marchese Beach Resort

Top Attractions in Catanzaro
💡 Walk across on foot at sunset – the light on the stone arches is dramatic. Watch for traffic; no dedicated pedestrian lane.
💡 Go around midday when the crypt light hits the mosaic best. The bell tower climb costs €2 but gives panoramic views.
💡 Bring binoculars – the view stretches to the sea on clear days. Best in late spring when the flowerbeds are out.
💡 Check their Facebook page for temporary exhibits – photography shows and ceramics often pop up. Quiet, good for reading.
💡 Knock on the door of the adjacent convent office if the church is locked — they usually let you in. The cloister is free, though they accept small donations.
💡 Free entry only on the first Sunday of the month. Other days it’s €4, still good value. Allow 45 minutes.
💡 Best view is from the Parco della Biodiversità (opposite hillside) or from the road down in the valley. Walk it early morning before traffic picks up.
💡 Check their Facebook before visiting — hours can be erratic. The curated thematic exhibitions (e.g., Pink Floyd or Italian prog) change every few months.
