Great family welcome
A boutique hotel/restaurant about 15 mins drive from the center of Tropea but very close to a beach at Capo Vaticano, with a shuttle bus taking you there twice a day.
Rooms were as described and very clean, no frills but provided everything we needed on our 7 night stay. We ate at the restaurant four nights and enjoyed the local Calabrian cooking and wines a lot
As other reviewers note, the owner Ignazio and the staff are very welcoming. All were helpful, especially Pepe the pizza chef with whom we made a deal and he drove us where we need to go for several days which was very helpful
The train station is 5 mins away and great for exploring other towns BUT the last train is around 9:00pm so not good for later nights. When you arrive by train in the dark you have to walk through a pitch black cornfield for a couple of mins, but that just made our experience more fun
The local beach is fine. No longer free as a 15 euro daily charge has been introduced but they didn't charge us in the end.
What really makes the place though is the owner, his family and staff who make you so welcome, like staying with family. The owner's dad is the sweetest man and his daughter, Elizabeta, was fun - especially getting us to try all the Italian liquors.
The 'shuttle' from the airport cost 100euro so if you can find a way to get to Capo Vaticano by train it's much cheaper
We will remember the warm welcome and friends we made much.

The pool was clean and well-maintained. We spent more time there than at the beach, which was crowded, but warm and clear, lots of fish for the kids to see.

great sea for snorkeling but sometimes jellyfish on Grotticelle beach (very painful for kids) - in Tropea no jellyfish and calm sea all the times.
in summer has the area problems with water supply - before check-in ask the owner of the property of the state of water in the tanks (we had bad luck in July, our apartment ran out of water twice a week - very stressful)
the beaches of Capo Vaticano are available by car (parking is for 1,50 Eur/hour) or on foot 20min walk downhill (but up the hill in hot weather is guite a challenge)
snorkeling in this sea is like in an aquarium :-)

The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and spacious.
The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The wifi and speed was amazing. The food was good. The breakfast was not entirely free as the website suggests. The lunch buffet was delicious and loved the female bartender at the snack shack by the pool who helped us. The hotel was not a 4 star as it states and the neighbourhood surrounding the hotel is poor and run down, not safe to walk around at night. There is no iron available for hotel guests. The hotel pool needs to be fixed and maintained. The tiles are missing throughout the pool and the pool has algae growing on the side tiles. The beach made up for the pool. We had to buy towels as the hotel did not supply towels for pool/beach, 10 Euros a towel at the local market. The ocean floor is rocky and slimy and its very difficult to get in. We were not prepared to deal with the rockiness of the beach and needed to buy water shoes.

It is a resort where you will enjoy your time even if you don’t want to step outside of the property. Lush gardens, excellent pool area, cozy bar and lunch restaurant and beautiful outdoor setting for dinner. There is a separate entertaining facility for kids with animators, a well equipped gym, small boutique, bike rental, and of course the beach with beds and clean towels! Staff members are very kind and supportive.

One of the most stunning coastlines I have visited, I’ve traveled to many exotic places but this was simply naturally stunning. Water and beach perfect. Hunt out private parking much cheaper than the meter.
We have since returned for a second trip and sure it will be a regular on our wish list.
Do yourself a favor and pop in to Eden Village for some amazing food, mainly European delights not just Italian ..

Nice beaches with dramatic background but be aware that this place is full of holiday spending Italians (which is good as this place is still real Italian one) bringing with it lots of cars, people, loud parties of very low quality, and surprisingly enough very low quality of pizza and pasta in many restaurants primarily set up just for the season (I guess plumbers and carpenters are cooking there). If people in my country would be served food I was served in several pizzerias in Capo Vaticano they would never come again and the places would go bankrupt. Sad.... as this has nothing to do with excellent Italian cuisine I was served in Italian cities.

Beautiful Beaches.....
Beautiful Beaches.....Best to go early Morning or late Afternoon as its not so hot. Local Produce Wonderful, but it pays to buy direct from Producers or from the Small Villages, (Shops in the Towns and by beach more expensive and not so good). You need to have a car to be truly mobile, but the train services are quite good and Cheap, (If a little overfilled!)
Location, most of the staff
The hotel was good. If the specific problems that I explained was not happened for the selected room, the rate could be more than 9.
The staff was kind and tried the best to create a happy time during the stay.
My friend that was staying in another hotel, exactly near this hotel (since this hotel was full), joined some hours with me in the seaside. I informed the staff to pay for my friend, and they kindly told me there is no problem if your guest use your specific place in the seaside.
Above all it is the beach and the atmosphere we liked most. The beach is small but there is enough space to enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the Thyrennian sea. All the staff is very friendly and helpful creating a great atmosphere where you can relax perfectly. The apartment has a spacious veranda overlooking the sea. The coffee bar is great for having a small breakfast and watching the beautiful sunset with a drink in your hand and listening to the waves.
We loved a garden surrounding accommodation. It is really beautiful and provides for much needed shade. Breakfast is excellent. Restaurant serving breakfast and lunch is nicely located close to the beach overlooking the sea. Lunch menu is excellent. Fitness area is small but good enough and fitness classes ran by Stefania are amazing and so relaxing. Kids club is great. The hotel has one of the best pools I have seen. Wifi is very good.
The views, beaches, nearby restaurants, pool and patio outside apartment were pleasant. The free shuttle takes you to and from the beach whenever you want between 9.30 and 1 and 4 to 7pm and the walk to the beach with assigned umbrellas and lounges is short and easily doable by fit people and children. Only 5 min drive to some restaurants with a fantastic view of the Stromboli vulcano also made it worthwhile.
Lovey location with a great view. A very well run family vacation resort. With a beautiful pool. Staff are very friendly staff and helpful. Drinks around the pool were very nicely served and breakfast was served too! You will need a car to make the most of your stay, however the local beach is lovely with reclining chair and umbrellas provided for free.
We spent 1 week at Midenza and we loved it sooo much! it’s a beautiful resort, with great facilities (gym is very cool) and awesome food! we especially loved the entire staff, Antonio and his team provide the best guest experience you could imagine. we will definitely be back at Midenza :)
Superior 2-bdrm apartment on upper level was spacious, clean and comfortable. Seaview from terrace was beautiful. Beach area was pebbly, but nice. Plenty of beach chairs & umbrellas. Lower saltwater pool was lovely and was not very salty at all. Grounds were lovely and well maintained.
We loved it, the location was amazing, the stairs up from the beach wasn’t too bad and we had the first suite at the top of hill, which was perfect. Suite was large, fully equipped and clean. view was stunning, the pool was beautiful and the dinner we had was amazing.
Very nice apartment, clean, nice surroundings of the villa. We especially appreciate the owner Anna Maria, who is very helpful, warm, smiling and communicative, she gave us all the necessary information. We were very satisfied with our stay at Capo Vaticano.
I can highly recommend this hotel. The kindness of the people, the professionalism & the service.
It was definitely an amazing stay and a true warm welcome from the people of Calabria!
Fabulous hotel, everything outstanding. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff, excellent restaurant attached. Secure parking on site, and it’s in a great location. Perfect place to stay.
The rooms were spacious and the view of the ocean was magical. The room was also very clean. We loved spending time in the large pool and being close to Tropea.
