Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Tropea

The team at Il Borghetto Creative Resort are so lovely. They WhatsApp’d me before arrival to check what time we’d arrive so I had their direct line for anything we needed throughout our stay (which was only one night). There is safe and secure parking in front of the main conference/entrance area for free for guests, which was great! The accommodation down the back of the property was a gorgeous change of scenery from the entrance area atop the hill. It honestly felt like you were walking back in time to a gorgeous Italian summer private villa. The room (we stayed in number 3) was super modern, well appointed and very spacious with a gorgeous little balcony looking over the pool. Speaking of, the infinity pool is awesome- large resort style pool amongst the green country side, with great deck chairs, umbrellas and a quaint poolside bar with incredibly Italian jazz-esc tunes playing all afternoon- so damn relaxing and chill. Many Aperol Spritz and (free- with drinks purchased) snacks were enjoyed. The hotel was only a 5 min drive or <10 euro tuk tuk into the main square of Tropea so a lovely distance from the hustle of Tropea (if that’s what you’re after). Breakfast was a fulfilling buffet- sweet and savory options, juice, fresh coffee etc. Can’t fault this place tbh!

Our family were fortunate enough to stay at this lovely resort for 5 days in early July. On the whole our experience was fantastic I would recommend to anyone who wants to relax outside the hustle and bustle of Tropea. Our room was spacious, with a good size bathroom. The room had a balcony over looking the attractive pool area and views out to the sea. The hotel grounds are meticulously landscaped with beautiful plants, flowers and trees. The pool was immaculate and clean with comfortable loungers and towels provided. There is a pool bar available and snacks accompanying the drinks. There is a small selection of toasted sandwiches / salad's available for lunch. Breakfast was a highlight with traditional Calabrian fare as well as the option for eggs / omelettes etc housed in a beautiful outdoor setting. The service was excellent - the property is family owned and you can see the care and attention & pride they put into their customers and work. We highly recommend this hotel for the serenity and relaxation, balanced by the access to the wonderful town of Tropea.

Il Borghetto was a perfect choice for visiting Tropea. Only a few kilometers out of Tropea town (and a hotel shuttle can drop you in town and pick you up for a nominal charge, saving the need for a taxi - which are a rarity in Tropea) the hotel had beautiful grounds and a wonderful pool that was large and ultra clean. A small bar beside the pool could provide snacks and drinks, and there are plenty of umbrellas available to sit under. One of the best things about Il Borghetto is the staff, with Eleanore, Frederika, Manuel, Massimo and so many others making you really feel like part of the family. The hotel picked us up from the train station and dropped us off again when our stay was over. The fresh breakfast in the morning was something you looked forward to the day before . Tasty and homemade food was a delight. I would stay again without hesitation. We even arranged a massage at the hotel for my wife and I and Vera. the masseuse was an expert at her job! All in all a wonderful Tropean stay.

Il Borghetto is absolutely fantastic! From the moment you enter reception to be greeted by always-smiling Manuel, to the moment you check out, your stay here is sure to be amazing. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate, and so colourful and beautiful. The rooms are very tastefully furnished, and impeccably clean. It is a pleasure to walk into your room each time. The pool and poolside bar are so lovely, with an atmosphere of pure relaxation. And the breakfast - wow. Everything is home-made and prepared on-site by a team of lovely ladies and is delicious. The breakfast room is outdoors on a picturesque shaded terrace space in the garden and is the perfect way to start your day. It is not too far to walk to walk into the main part of the town, around 10-15 minutes. We really hope to come to Tropea again and Il Borghetto will be the only hotel we stay. Thank you Manuel and team, you are amazing!

From the moment you enter the gates you are treated with impeccably well manicured gardens. With plenty of parking if traveling by car. Walk into reception and you are greeted by the most welcoming host, Manuel who is very eager to explain things about the hotel and things to do around Tropea. Our room was very clean, nicely furnished and had a balcony overlooking the immaculate kept pool area. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to swim in the pool. The relaxed outdoor area in the shaded garden is a perfect way to eat an excellent delicious buffet breakfast with a large selection of home made savory food, sweets and espresso coffee, Thank you to the friendly ladies who always served breakfast with a lovely smile on their face. Thank you Manuel and team, for the best experience in Calabria. See you again soon.

The Ananea was such a beautiful place to stay at while in Tropea! We especially appreciated the personal pool we had access to with our room. While we never ate lunch at the hotel restaurant, the breakfast had a wonderful spread of meats, breads/croissants, made to order entrees, drinks, sweets, and dinner was exceptional as well. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the town center, which is appreciated because it is much more quiet than if we would’ve booked a place in the center. The employees were welcoming, friendly, professional, and did a great job at keeping us comfortable. I, sadly, didn’t take many pictures inside the room, but I included the beautiful nighttime ambience, the view from the hotel looking up at the town, and two of the room. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Ananea and if we ever have the chance to visit Tropea in the future, we definitely wouldn’t hesitate to choose it as our preferred stay. Thank you!

Superior hotel. 5 stars. Location, location, location! Classy. Spacious. Breakfast was excellent. Service was top-notch. There was an issue with our room allocation/number of people assigned to our room. The issue was my fault as I mistakenly booked a room for 3 people, not 4 (travelling with 2 adults and 2 teenagers). The front desk worked with us to rectify this problem :) The bathroom has beach flip-flops for everyone! great in-house toiletries. Very spacious rooms. The actual pool grounds were beautiful and serene. We also travelled with my parents and sister. As a larger group, the staff always ensured our pool and food needs were met. The hotel is located a short, 5 minute walk to the beach which is spectacular! Strongly reccommend going to the local market (on the way to the beach) to order paninos (sandwiches for the beach). You can walk up to Tropea within 10 minutes (great workout!) Highly recommend ordering an iced coffees from the bar!

The hotel is a hidden gem located in the hidden gem of Southern Italy. Staff were exceptional... Reception, restaurant, pool attendants and cleaning..... The southern Italian hospitality exuded. The hotel is in a prime location, nestled by the port and beside the best beaches in Tropea and beneath the hustle of Tropea town. I travelled from a 5 star hotel in Materra and Ananea was superior. I only wish my stay was longer than 5 days. Thank you. I look forward to a return visit.

The hotel was a welcomed oasis after a long drive. Beautifully designed with all of the modern conveniences. Our room was lovely with a huge shower, which is rare in Italy! Modern. Comfy beds with a pillow menu. Across the road from the marina that has a small supermarket, laundry, and a few bars. Easy walk to the swimming beach and to the town up the stairs. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Pool area is very lux!!

We had the most amazing stay, the rooms were spotless as were all the other facilities. The pool area is gorgeous and even better than the photos. All the staff were friendly and attentive, and the meal we had at the hotel restaurant was one of the best we had in Tropea. We booked last minute due to the hotel we initially booked being very poor on arrival, and it saved our holiday! Would highly recommend

Amazing private pool, all room equipped with AC. Brand new stuff. Fully renovated! Brilliant!

The accommodation was clean will all we needed and the pool was fabulous.

Excellent position. Beautifully presented and fantastic views of the Tropea Port. Easy access, great communication. Oscar , Simona were very nice to deal with, helpful, they even provided beach umbrella and beach towels. If this place had a pool it would definitely be the best place I stayed in Tropea!!!

Location was excellent - a few minutes (flat) to the centre but in a quiet garden so all you could hear were the birds. Beautiful view over the gorge and to the port and the sea. Terrace furniture was really nice. Clothes airer and deckchairs too. Our apartment was spacious, clean and had everything we needed (apart from maybe a kettle). The ladies came in every 2 days to clean and change towels etc. Cold water and coffee pods available from the pergola downstairs. Jugs provided. We didn’t cook anything to be fair, but there seemed to be plenty pots/plates/utensils etc. No contact entry worked well. Bed was comfortable, plenty of towels. All communication with Oscar before the trip was excellent, and in fact he helped us enormously when my husbands suitcase didn’t arrive on our flight. Without him, Im not sure we would ever have seen it again. Lots of places to eat and drink in Tropea, but worth mentioning it’s probably not the best place for the less mobile - steps to beach and cobbled streets. Food at La Lamia and Maresusa stands out. Breakfast pastries at Deodato (near the apartment) Couple of small mini markets nearby for essentials. Oscar organised us a transfer from Lamezia Centrale when we arrived but we walked up to Tropea station for onward journey. Straightforward trip of about 15 mins but it is uphill all the way. All in all we had a lovely stay (missing suitcase not withstanding) and I would highly recommend.

Usually I don’t write reviews. But this time I wanted to write this review and share with you all my great and wonderful experience that I had. The owner Oscar and Simona, are the best. I have never had such a great hosting experience. Thanks very much. The apartment was wonderful, the location could never be any better, it’s just at the downtown, the apartment has all what you ever needed, the rooms are clean and nice, the kitchen has all the appliances that you would need, the AC works perfectly, there’s a big bathroom with the shower and all the toiletries, and not to forget about the balcony which has a breathtaking view over the sea. The balcony has a really nice table and comfortable chairs. They provide you with a free supply of still and sparkling wanter as much as you need. The room cleaning service is great. The owners helped me and my family in everything that we needed, for instance arranging a mini van to take us from and to the airport, activities recommendation and offered a discount on booking them, getting some stuff from the supermarket and many other things. I would highly recommend this stay for everyone if you’re looking for a place where you feel the most friendly atmosphere and enjoy the city. Thanks a lot Oscar and Simona and we would definitely visit you again.

S'O Suites exceeded our expectations. There was good communication before we arrived, and we were able to find and access the property easily. We were sent details on how to use some of the features in the room which came in handy. The Apartment itself was lovely. It was really clean, spacious and well equipped with loads of nice features including a water tap that provided free sparkling and chilled water - a lovely touch. The location was also fantastic, only steps from the main part of town. The air con worked well, there was a lovely terrace to relax on and enjoy the view, and there was a smart tv which meant that if you wanted to stay in on an evening you could put on a film on one of your streaming accounts. We were able to leave our luggage in a safe place after we checked out and the owner arranged a transfer back up the hill to the station for us.

This must be the best place to stay in Tropea. It is 50 meter from the city center, yet it has a very good view on the gorge and sea with the harbour in the distance. The appartment is large and has 2 bedrooms (with the bathroom between them so no noise) and easily sleeps four people. It is brand new, very clean, very modern. We had a balcony with a view, the floor below us had a bit larger terrace, but less view (I think). Both excellent. You can park the car in the street or they have a deal for 15 euro per day for a secure parking spot on 7 minutes by foot. When you want to go to Tropea center, it is literally 50 meters walk and you are at the start of the main street. And two mini markets with fresh bread, mozarella and ham within 2 minutes walk. It was terrific and we enjoyed every day.

Our stay in Tropea was marvellous because of the location of the B&B and the friendliness of the staff. The B&B is only a 2 minute walk from the beach (there is a path with stairs down to the beach next to the B&B) and has a magnificent view of the bay, in the far distance you can even see Stromboli erupting. The city centre can be busy, that's why we wanted a place closeby but not right in the centre. Included in your stay: Gorgeous sunsets and breakfasts. What a better way of starting and ending your day with this view. The staff is extremely friendly and is always eager to answer your questions. The B&B has its own parking, which is super convenient because parking is hard to find in the city centre. Also make sure you don't drive in the Zona Traffico Controllato during certain hours.

This B&B is an AMAZING place to stay in Tropea. First of all, the location is a plus, just some stairs and you will be on the beach, and less than 10 min walk from the center where all the restaurants are. Then, the staff, Angie (Not sure is the right spelling) is a lovely girl, she made me feel so welcome, and she was always aware of my needs. Finally breakfast, it was great! Many options, and it was delicious. 100% recommended, I'll come back!

A short walk to all the restaurants and beaches - even the railway station was easily walkable. Breakfasts were generous and catered for all tastes. My room had an unobstructed view of the sea and the setting sun, which made coming back in the evening a treat. There was free, secure parking on site, which made it easy to use a hire car to explore the region. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially Gianluca, the guest house manager.

From start to finish this place was fantastic! Excellent location, super friendly staff (roberto we will miss you friendly smile and taste of music 🤪) breakfast was perfect. The b&b was spotless!! Could not fault any of it and fantastic price. Added bonus of the rabbit, turtles and fish for the kids. Outside shower and drying facilities so you’re not bringing sand back to your room. Well done to all involved!!!

The location and scenery was spectacular. Opening the bedroom windows in the morning and seeing the ocean was such a highlight and really made a great start to the day. But the staff were the highlight for me they were so friendly, warm and welcoming. Really nice to talk to and very accommodating. I miss them all so much and can't wait to return.

The staff especially Ivan and Lorenzo. Indeed all the staff were exceptional. Francesco at the bar area was superb. Our room was fabulous and the view took one’s breath away. The beach, the pool and bar/restaurant were excellent. The highlight too was the availability of a shuttle service from the hotel and back from 8am to 12 midnight. A fantastic service. The staff made my wife’s birthday extra special too, which was unexpected and a lovely gesture. You will gather by now that we loved Park Oasi.

Perfect staff, nice location. The resort is next to te beach an belongs hotel complex, appartements, bungalows, nice rooms and great restaurant with very good prices. Food is excelent, rooms are clean, it has a private beach and you have every day the same places. The pool is also nice. They have an electric trolley to take you from and to the beach. Tropea is 10km, the train station is 10min walking. Near station is gelateria and supermarket.

Everything. Very clean, organized, service was fabulous and everyone was kind! The beach is great, pool ( depth 120 cm and 140 cm) was outstanding, my 6 years old learnt how to swim there ! Very cozy family oriented resort. There were honeymovers too . Private beach with assigned umbrellas, for free. Parking also included. Food great !

We wanted to relax for a couple of days and the place is totally fit for that. Beach, pool, restaurants, bars, all in walking distance. The neighbourhood can be a little noisy till midnight but there's AC, can't hear anything with closed windows. The staff is trying hard to accommodate every request, very friendly everyone, especially the breakfast staff.

We loved this hotel.All staff were so friendly and professional. The rooms are modern and very clean. The food in the restaurant was very good. Thank you for a lovely relaxing week.

Had a family wedding in the capo Vaticano area. We chose the Santa Chiara hotel as it’s central for the Venus fir the 3 days of celebrations. It was a perfect choice. Excellent breakfasts stunning views, huge pool, friendly staff, and comfy firm beds. There was a little train that took us down and back from the beach or it’s a 20 minute walk and a lot longer walk back up a steep hill Blue seas, tavernas, Sandy beaches and calm warm waters await you.

The attention to detail by the family members of this family run hotel is evident throughout. The rooms are clean and modern, the garden is spotless, and the pool is lovely. Breakfast on the terrace was a treat.

Modern, well-kept hotel with good facilities, including very good pool. Family owned with a personal touch. Fantastic view over the sea and the surrounding olive grove owned by the family. Free shuttle to private beach area.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and tidy. Pool area great.

One feels that the hotel belongs to a family that is in love with its business. Great service and atmosphere. My family is especially grateful to the owner of the hotel for the fact that when my wife fell ill, he took her urgently to the hospital, helped her communicate with the doctors in Italian, and brought her back a day later. This helped us a lot, and for that we are very grateful to Mr. Mimo

Had an amazing stay! Perfect location / perfect facilities / clean and amazing breakfast. Thank you so much :) Mario went above and beyond. I am a young person with rheumatoid arthritis and was unwell during my stay, the host carried my luggage through flights of stairs and arranged my transfer back to the airport which I really appreciate ❤️so kind❤️

MODERN, COMFY, PRIVATE, COLD AC, CLOSE TO THE BEACH, MARIO IS AMAZING!!! DEF COMING BACK

Mario was the perfect hotelier. Would highly recommend. 10/10

Easy walk to the beach or port about a 5 min walk the rooms were very clean and the owner was very friendly and helpful

oh my god! EVERYTHING! Beach Cottage vibe with awesome modern amenities!! We were in a beautiful apartment with THE MOST GLORIOUS VIEW. But aside from the amazing view, the little kitchen had everything you could need for a short stay. I was able to cook delicious meals and eat either indoors or on the balcony. The bed was so comfortable, the shower had great pressure and hot water. Water pressure throughout was great. The windows had three settings for opening for air flow. The apartment includes options for you to dry your swimsuit. Even the smart TV welcome screen had a great menu which featured specials that you can access just by staying here. But the BEST PART about staying here is the owners. Even before I got there Maurizio was whatsapping with us and arranged our pick up from the train station, arrange the most EPIC boat tour for us and other hook ups with restaurants etc. He is so patient and he and his family were wonderful!You are utterly spoiled!!

This place is in the perfect location, you can access the center, the sanctuary, everything within few steps. Maurizio is the host is so kind and generous, we came at beginning of May where all rooms are available, he gives us a free upgrade. We paid for the room without balcony - which is also super nice, but he told us that the room with balcony is available and check us in there directly. The balcony view is facing the sea and the sanctuary, we ended up with a balcony for beautiful sunset, breakfast, and self made lunch which have been super amazing! the check in process is very easy and systematic - we did online check in to make the process quicker - where you have to provide all necessary documents, then when we arrive Maurizio is here to check us in. Very clean room, comfortable bed, equipped with a kitchen and everything. Free parking is available within walking distance which Maurizio will share with you.

Even before our arrival, the staff was wonderful communicating with us on WhatsApp, sending a map how to get to the apartment from the station etc. When we reached the place, two ladies were waiting for us and helped us carry the luggage up the stairs. Upstairs, we were greeted by unexpected welcome gifts - a bottle of really good wine and a basket of food products typical for the area. Throughout the stay, Maurizio kept making sure we had everything we needed. It was also no problem to have them book a taxi for our early morning departure. The bed was big and very comfortable, the room was modern and equipped with everything we needed. I left the best for last - the balcony and the view. It was unreal! Every single sunset and sunrise was amazing, people on the nearby terrace were crowding to see the kind of view that we could leisurely watch from our balcony.

Our stay in Tropea was absolutely magical, and the hotel played a huge part in that experience. The location is second to none — perched right above the stunning coastline, offering panoramic views that take your breath away. Waking up to the sparkling blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the dramatic cliffs of Tropea was unforgettable. The position of the hotel is perfect — just a short stroll to the historic centre, with its charming streets, vibrant restaurants, and local shops, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. We loved being able to walk everywhere while still feeling completely immersed in the beauty of the Calabrian coast. If you’re coming to Tropea, this is the place to stay. The views alone are worth it — truly world-class. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or a more memorable stay. Can’t wait to return!

The apartment is luxurious, decorated in a good taste and has all the modern comfort one can dream of, with a breathtaking clifftop 180 degrees seaview (includes Stromboli and the romantic Santa Maria dell'Isola church). It has a prime location right next to the beautiful old city and also close to beaches. The kitchen is also, well equiped. At arrival, a gift basket waited for us with small bites and a bottle of wine which we enjoyed at candlelight (all provided). The host, senor Maurizio is an amazing communicator, very polite and articulate, provided us with absolutely all the details we needed for our stay: the best restaurants, how to get to the best beaches, etc and was very attentive to our needs, attentive, kind and accomodating. We had an amazing stay and would definately recommend it, 10 out 10.
