We decided to stay here for 5 nights, initially booked only 2. Lovely apartment style rooms with fully equipped kitchen. Rooms are a decorated in style of winter sport skiing apartments in the Alps, but were lovely nonetheless. Located right on the beach, with sea very suitable for swimming. We spent a few days on the beach, watching the fishermen... more

We stayed 10 days in May 2009 at the Maratea Mare hotel. Main purpose for our visit of Florianopolis was the participation at the IRONMAN Brazil triathlon race taking place at Jurere, 8 km along the beach - what takes 15 minutes by car. The reason why we didn't select one of the official race hotels: All these resorts at... more
