This resort checked every box. From the food, to the service, scenery, rooms, and atmosphere. We absolutely did not want to leave this place and will be returning. The rooms were maintained daily, cleaned and swept. Towels fresh. You can always find something different to try on the menu and plenty for kids. They have a small deli section for lunch if you wanted something different. Sandwiches and some different pizzas. Breakfast was always a highlight because the coffee and fresh food everything was a great way to start the day The staff and entertainment crew worked so hard to put a smile on everyone’s face, made things personable, and made sure your needs were taken care of. Plenty of entertainment for all ages. The pool was super clean.
It was very nice 'start season' stay in this beautiful place. 2-bedroom apartment with sea view is gorgeus, spacious rooms, has everything you need in kitchen. Sea was great even on the beginning of May as well as the pool. There were enough sunbeds for everyone. 22C was enough to get burn, use sun cream :-) Perfect breakfast more sweet than salty with great options of croissants, cakes and fresh fruits, but eggs and bacon is available as well. But I would prefer them to finish later than until 9:30 (we had to have alarm on every morning). But most other places/restaurants in capo vaticano was still closed. Also 'next door' there were preparations for the season that made noise some mornings (but this depends on location of your apartment and time of stay). Overall it was one of the best vacations we had as family. Thank you so much. It was worth to go there 2000km :)
Family Trip – A Dream GetawAy We recently spent a week at Villaggio il Gabbiano (April 25 – May 3) on a family holiday with our parents and two couples. We stayed in Rooms 8 Bis and 03, both offering stunning sea views and full board. Simply put—it was an absolute dream. The beach is reminiscent of the Maldives—crystal clear waters and soft sand—while the village itself is immaculate, with a beautifully maintained garden that reflects true attention to detail. The restaurant is of exceptional quality, with elegant presentation and dishes that rival high-end establishments. We found ourselves comparing the experience to our favorite five-star hotel in Torino, which features two restaurants one of them a Michelin-starred restaurant—though of course, at a completely different price point. The cuisine at Villaggio il Gabbiano truly surprised us. A heartfelt mention must go to Domenico and Massimo in the restaurant. Their kindness, warmth, and attentiveness transformed each meal into a memorable experience. I am sorry I do not remember the names of the other colleague who prepared a stunnig "cake" for my mothers in law birthday in 5 mins, thank you! As we left for the airport, it felt like we were saying goodbye to family. The bar was equally impressive. Excellent value, generous aperitivo offerings, and expertly prepared drinks—especially their Spritz, which became a daily indulgence. If we may offer a single constructive suggestion: a mattress topper would be appreciated by those of us who prefer softer beds—though of course, this is a personal preference. Speaking of comfort, the sun loungers by the pool were so comfortable we even snapped a photo of the brand to buy them for our home! Thank you to the entire Villaggio il Gabbiano team for an unforgettable stay. We cherished every moment.
