B&B Il Nido, Ricadi Overview
B&B Il Nido is located in Ricadi, Italy. Rated 10.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
B&B Il Nido is a small stay in Ricadi, Italy, set in the Via Monumento Fraz. Santa Domenica area, where the pace is slower and the coast is within easy reach. The property offers three air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators and flat-screen televisions, plus private bathrooms with showers and complimentary toiletries, so you can keep routines simple between beach days. Many guests value the practical comfort of having WiFi included and luggage storage available, especially when arrival times are later in the afternoon.
Rooms also come with private balconies or patios, which is a real plus in this part of Calabria when you want a quiet moment outdoors before heading out. The front desk operates limited hours, so it helps to plan arrivals within the stated check-in window from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Parking is available, but spaces are limited, and the property notes street parking and free self-parking, which can make a difference if you’re driving.
If you’re traveling with a pet, this is one of the clearer matches in the area because pets are allowed. For accessibility, the hotel is wheelchair accessible, though upper floors are reachable by stairs only, so consider that if mobility is a concern.
The guest rating is 10/10 based on a small number of reviews, and the feedback points toward a welcoming, straightforward experience rather than a busy, high-traffic hotel atmosphere. It’s best for couples and solo explorers who want a comfortable base for Tropea Beach and Grotticelle Beach, with Capo Vaticano and Baia di Riaci also within a short drive.

Should You Book B&B Il Nido?
Worth considering if you want a small, comfortable stay in Ricadi with strong guest satisfaction. The 10/10 rating (even from just 1 review) and the pet-friendly policy are the main positives, but limited parking and front-desk hours are key trade-offs.

What to Expect
Check in is available from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, so arriving earlier in that window should make the start of your stay smooth.

You’ll likely rely on street parking or limited on-site options, and free self parking can help if spaces are available. Morning is straightforward with a 10:00 AM check-out, and you can start the day connected via free WiFi while keeping luggage stored if needed.
