Grand Hotel Balestrieri

Total disappointment

Reviewed By Shelovesmom

Aside from the structure and the beach, this is FAR from 4 stars. Maybe it had its glory days but it's now a mess. The public spaces are dirty. The food is bad (we ate out 3 times), no covid regulations in place. Long line in the buffet and guests are stuffed in a small space where your table could be missing the next meal. The food trays are mostly empty and you should get up and refill your own water. The table cloths are re-used. Airconditioning not working well, music too loud. Restaurant understaffed The restaurant manager useless, and speaks bad about other guests in public spaces. No playground for kids, only 5 old and rusty swings for the entire hotel. Twice, we had no water to take a shower and sometimes no towels in the room. They charge an extra 50€ per person for the use of facilities. There were only 2 days in a week where there was no wedding and the pool was free. The management and staff knew the guests were unhappy but no guest recovery effort was made. Spend you money and precious vacation time somewhere else. I will not recommend this hotel.

B&B Il Borgo

Wonderful! The sea laps at the base of the house.

Reviewed By thiefhunter

To visit Chianalea de Scilla, a tiny, working fishing village, is to engage closely with the sea. At B&B Il Borgo, the sea laps at the base of the house, just a few feet below your balcony. It couldn't be more appropriate, more magical, more special. The views from the balconies are simply spectacular. Laura, the warm and welcoming homeowner has lived there all her life, as did her mother. She is a natural host, whose joy is evident when she sees her guests' delight. The rooms in her ancient house are modern and immaculate, with all the comforts of a hotel room. An excellent breakfast is buffet-style in Laura's kitchen, with Laura herself presiding, serving coffees, only leaving when she's sure her guests have everything. This was my first experience at a B&B in which the host actually lives, and I was a bit apprehensive. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. (We even lucked out with a parking place ten feet from her front door.)

Aquarium Tropea

Nel centro storico di Tropea a pochi passi dal mare .

Great location and friendly staff

Reviewed By jonilasanto

Very nice place in the old town of Tropea and only few minutes walking distance from the beach! Nice clean rooms for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend considering this place when looking for accommodation in Tropea! ?

Villa Paglianiti - Your FAMILY Residence!

Great vacation

Reviewed By 314guntisk

Villa Paglianiti is an excellent apartment for a wonderful vacation. We are staying in this apartment for the third time and as always everything is fine. Beach 5 minutes walk from the villa. The villa has a swimming pool, barbecue area. The apartment is new and clean, but the main difference from other holiday villas is the friendly and helpful staff. Thank you again for a great holiday opportunity☀️

Porto di Mare

very clean room

Reviewed By Stephen L

Stayed at this bed and breakfast in september.The room was spotlessly clean,good shower and a bidet.If you are used to 4 to 5 star accomodation this is proably not for you.But if all you want is a clean comfortable room with a bit of breakfast then this is fine.Breakfast is typicaly Italian,so dont expect a northern European type breakfast.The owners are lovely and gave us a bottle of virgin olive oil when we left,a nice touch.
