We did not know much about the region of Calabria or the town of Tropea but after some research we fancied a week away to explore the region.. Fast forward to us booking separate flights and the hotel direct. A big thank you to Michele and the team at the hotel for making the booking process so easy, prompt communications to handle any questions and to be able to arrange a private transfer for us to / from the hotel at a competitive price. Even better that the hotel booking was payment on departure. From savings we made by travelling to / from the UK on a Sunday we opted to upgrade to a junior suite with a sea view and so glad we did as the terrace space was excellent and overlooked the pool with a sea view and a view across to Tropea which was great for sunsets. Michele was a great help in accommodating our preferred room request as well. The hotel is well positioned just outside Tropea which is walkable and about 1.5 miles to the centre, albeit the region is hilly. What is great is that the hotel offers a free shuttle bus to / from the town centre running 3 time back and forwards in the evening between 19;15 and 22:30 and this is a great facility given how hot the region can be in the summer. You can book on the bus single / return journey at reception and if the bus is full (typically 8 people per trip) they also do an additional run. There is access to a private beach area on the main beach with complimentary sunbeds snd again there is a shuttle bus option running at 3 intervals during the day and this is about 0.5 miles away from the hotel. The hotel was clean throughout and well maintained and the pool area was excellent in terms of size, sun beds and the snack bar area which was great for drinks in the day and snacks plus was open in the evening for drinks. Breakfast was a buffet with good selections of hotel and cold food and a lovely outdoor terrace areas with parasols for outdoor dining. We didn't utilise the hotel for evening meals as we were B&B only but they do offer a half board option. Finally a big thanks to all the staff at the hotel as they are so friendly, professional and accommodating and nothing is too much trouble for them - they made us so welcome and our stay so enjoyable.
