"Hotel’s location was fantastic, walking distance to city center and beach. The property does not have on site parking however does offer parking with 3rd party. 20euros first night and 10euros for following nights. Everytime you ask for your car there is a 10euro fee. Our room was extremely small, lighting was horrible and only window in the room was a view of the indoor staircase and elevator. Breakfast was excellent and hotel staff was super friendly and helpful!"
"It was an amazing stay .. lovely room with beautiful views .. Antonio was an absolute pleasure .. really patient with us .. the property is impeccable and right in the central access to incredible Tropia .. 5 minutes to old town, a quick walk to wonderful nightlife, restaurants, bars .. didn’t want to leave .. 5 stars +"
"Hotel with good location to Tropea center, walking distance. Room was clean and adequate. Pool seemed cloudy and not super inviting. Staff was helpful. All in all an okay place to stay but more a 3 star hotel than 4."
"The room was nice but being right next to the patio where everyone had breakfast was a bit problematic I had to keep the shutters to the room closed so light was limited"
"Beautiful hotel with very professional and friendly staff. The location is perfect 10min walk to the city center. The grounds are immaculately maintained and the views from terrace for aperitivo are spectacular. Would definitely return."
