A beautiful resort with friendly staff.

Reviewed By olgageiling

The resort is set in a beautiful garden and has a very soothing atmosphere. The beach and the turquoise water are amazing for a relaxing vacation. Very friendly and helpful staff, even though some did not speak English at all which made things difficult at times. The rooms were clean and comfy. We had a family room where the kids had their small but separate bedroom. Dinners were of very high quality, but our french-fry-eating, ketchup-slurping kids sometimes had a problem to find something they liked on the menu. They loved the desserts, however ;) The location of the hotel is a bit secluded, so for those who plan to make trips, count on extra budget for taxi to Tropea (50-70€ round trip). Overall, I can recommend.

Hotel Village Eden

One of the most beautiful parts of the Calabrian coast, Tropea town and the Capo Vaticano area treasure the natural beauty, history and most attractive holiday resorts - those where man followed the natural landscape and where hotels and villages are hidden among generous Mediterranean vegetation. Placed literally on the beach, underneath Capo Vaticano, the village is only 30 metres from the seashore. Well developed amid trees and coastal slopes, Eden seems to be the natural part of this most exciting Calabrian coastal spot.

Skip for somewhere in downtown Tropea or Sicily

Reviewed By Gabbi C

This is a lovely resort for local italian families with young children. This is not a resort for international tourists—there are many better options that provide more value for your money. The beach is beautiful, but many staff members are less than friendly, and the atmosphere feels more like an Italian summer camp. If you do not have a car you will be very bored in the evenings.

It is a nice stay but for the price near perfection is expected.

Reviewed By Samilausanne

The positive The setting is very beautiful. The room is very comfortable, clean, nicely decorated. The air conditioning and the wifi work very well Breakfast is varied, with quality ingredients The negative The noise. The cleaning staff start at 8.30 and seem to go on the whole day. Noise of moving furniture, slammed doors and vacuum cleaning is bothersome. This could be minimized by asking cleaning staff not to slam door, and by fitting pads under the chairs so the they are less noisy when moved The second issue is the beach. It is not sand but small pebble, very uncomfortable to walk on. There is nothing the hotel can do about it but is a problem for those who came to enjoy the sea.

Baia del Godano Resort & Spa

The Villaggio Hotel Baia del Godano Resort & Spa is a small gem, embedded in the coastline between Tropea and Capo Vaticano, immersed in the greenery of tropical plants and hibiscus. Modern style rooms near the beach equipped with all comforts. Just a glance away from the holiday village you can see the cliffs of Capo Vaticano with its small bays and the picturesque town of Tropea.

Italian South Sea resort

Reviewed By Philipp H

Baia del Godano probably comes as close to a South Sea resort as you can get in Italy. Nice apartments/rooms, a restaurant by the sea with very nice food, the best choices for breakfast we had during our round trip, a well-kept flower/garden zone, a private beach, an open air fitness center and a very kind receptionist who, among other things, organized our parking at our next stop in Matera. Yes, it was expensive, but it was well worth it.

Reviewed By Michele K

We loved everything about this fantastic resort. Katerina was wonderful to deal with in the mornings. Sam and Valentina were perfect hosts in the afternoons and evenings and defintely helped make our stay very enjoyable. The other lady, (apologises I can't remember her name) along with the rest of the staff were hard working and very polite. Nothing was too much trouble for them to ensure that we had a good vacation. We are hoping to return next year. The view of Stromboli belching gas is our enduring memory of the sunsets during our stay.

Disappointed with customer service

Reviewed By MonikaKier

Customer experience in La Pizzuta ends the second you depart the premises. My 5-year old daughter forgot her backpack with beloved toys in the reception area. The same day I've tried to contact the hotel via phone and emails, but unfortunately there was no contact/no response to my kind request to send the backpack to my home (of course with the offer to cover all expenses). I understand that hotel doesn't bear responsibility for my forgotten luggage, but it would be nice to have ANY kind of response to my question instead of silence. Other cons: - most of the stuff doesn't speak English, - swimming pool is closed from 1PM to 4PM due to siesta (!) - poor breakfast (there is only bread, jams, boiled eggs, 1-2 types of sliced cheese and meat, cornflakes, fruit and pastries; nothing warm, no vegatables) - no place to dry your clothes and towels in the room - wi-fi in the room non-existent. Pros: - beautiful garden and nice swimming pool area, - friendly stuff; at most times don't understand you, but they try to make it up with the smile, - good location with 30-40min walk to Tropea (but remember you will need to go back UP the hill:))

This is a lovely hotel with great service. We were very happy with the room, food, and service. Simone and Barbara were wonderful people who were very helpful with every request. The restaurant servers were very nice; pool and bar nice, and the beach was fantastic. Sandy beaches with great fish to see why snorkeling right off the beach area. Restaurants and bars on the beach area and the hotel drives the guests to and from the beach in a golf cart upon request all day. Just a very peaceful place to stay. Upon leaving, they provide a nice gift of jams as a thank you for staying at their hotel. I would go back for sure. It is off the beaten track so, it is quiet and lovely.
