We stayed in Stella del Sud and found the staff friendly, and extremely helpful. The price was very reasonable – June in Italy at €35 a day for an 11-meter sailboat, including water and electricity. And I have to say that the bathrooms at Stella del Sud are the best I have ever seen in a marina, anywhere! They are spotlessly clean, private, with excellent showers, and even a pile of clean white towels on a shelf at the shower to use as bathmats. Their whole attitude shows real respect for their customers, which as we know is not universal…
I should add that I needed to replace some high-pressure hose on our water maker. The owner/manager Angela found where I could buy it which was about a 15-minute car trip from the marina. She had one of the marina employees drive me there and helped via cell phone with communication with the shop.
Thanks, Angela!

This is a small family owned marina situated right in a nice little town. I think it would be a perfect place to winter as long as one does not require a lot of other cruisers for companionship. The young man who assisted with our docking lines invited us to share in a lunch of freshly caught tuna. What an experience! It was so much fun! Father, uncle, grandfather, sons, cousins, even babies — a true family experience. With typical Italian animated hand movements and loud voices while smiling the entire time. Grilled fresh tuna and grilled peppers with nice wine and Prosecco and homemade Lemoncelo (I now have the recipe!). It was a blast!
