The story of the hotel begins back in the fifties, when Deiva Marina barely saw a tourist. This wonderful environment was undiscovered and entirely lacking in places to stay. Grandfather Gustavo, from Abruzzo, made his dream a reality. Risking everything, he invested his pension from the railways, his life savings ... and started an hotel of his own. Gustavo pursued his project with love, passion and perseverance through the many difficulties. The result he named Clelia, after his wife.

Today the hotel is managed by Anna, Franco Luca and Piera, and is well-known for its friendliness and excellent levels of service.
