There was a committed high level of excellent service in this place. The property is really something to see. The breakfast and service each morning was excellent The location is close enough to the middle of Tropea but far enough away that you have tremendous peace and quiet if you are still looking for a place to stay in Tropea, stop looking...this is the place

Loved Villa Paola
Absolutely loved villa Paola. The grounds are incredible and the service is top notch. I enjoyed being a little out of town, short 20 min walk, however they could really step it up by adding an on-demand shuttle service from the hotel into town. Taxis are pricey at 15 euro each way for such a short distance and they were unreliable when we would call for them from the hotel. The hotel only has 12 rooms, a shuttle service for such few guests shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. Otherwise, would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Stunning location on a hill overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea with the walled city of Tropea a mile in the distance. Beautiful property, with many plants and flowers. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, as were the common areas. Breakfast (which was quite good) on the terrace overlooking the sea was a delight. The staff, especially Katia, was warm and efficient. A true 5-star property. Would return any time.

A Beautiful Retreat
This was booked for our honeymoon and was the perfect destination. It's a lovely converted convent on the side of the mountain overlooking the local farm and seaside port. Beaches are a 15 min walk away. The food was great, the staff were lovely and as there was only 11 rooms it was a very tranquil and romantic location. Tropea is 15 min walk or 5 min by car or taxi. I would like to extend my thanks to all at the Villa - every aspect was 5 stars!!

Very nice and comfortable hotel.
This hotel is beautiful, the rooms clean, amd spacious, the pics doesn’t show how beautiful the hotel is. The lobby is like an old house but well decorated and modern. The staff is incredible, ready to help and friendly. There’s no restaurant, but the menu for the room service and breakfast is good. The pool has a great view and the town is walking distance.
