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.

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.

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.

Reviewed By italy123456782

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.

Not worth it

Reviewed By agnav2019

It’s hard to find where to begin. We were really struggling to find the positives, but the ones that we picked are: - The hotel is located in beautiful capo vaticano and the views are breathtaking; - The receptionist is a very nice guy, always polite and ready to help; - The room was cleaned and tidied every single day. BUT there were so many negatives.. - Firstly, there was an insane humidity in our room as the room in itself had only one tiny window. Even the bedsheets felt wet and the towels and the room had a smell. We asked to change the room, however it was 150€ extra; - Secondly, there is a hidden fee for - the beach towels, transportation to the beach and the lounge chairs as well as the umbrella on the beach. The so called bus takes you to the beach only three times a day - at 9.30am, at 10am and at 1pm so if you don’t get onto one of those you can find yourself walking down a slippery path down the hill because a four star hotel doesn’t have a normal path to its private beach. Nonetheless, you have to take the towels in the reception and bring them down yourself and then bring them back up again.. Moreover, a four star hotel doesn’t have a toilet on the beach. Thus, the shower is not working properly on the beach; - Thirdly, when we booked the room, it didn’t say that the booking is full board. So apparently breakfast, lunch and dinner were included into the price. But let me tell you this - what a huge disappointment the food was!! We managed to find at least something to eat during breakfast (the coffee from the coffee machine was horrendous), but the dinner was something worth forgetting and the sooner, the better. We would have much rather had an option to choose half board and pay less, than have an unnecessary full board which we never used. - Fourthly, we were supposed to stay there for 5 nights, but ended up checking out after 3. To our disappointment, nobody seemed to care why we have decided to leave and check out earlier, nobody seemed to be bothered to ask what was wrong. All in all, this hotel deserves max 3 stars. The quality doesn’t match the price and it’s definitely not worth the money you are paying.

We had small kids with us but Swimming in the pool and in the ocean was very safe because lifeguards were always around. Thanks to daniele, who took care about the Tourists all the time.

Luzia Agriresort

Wonderful place

Reviewed By Jola B

Residenza Luzia in Capo Vaticano is a wonderful place to stay and to visit in Calabria, Italy. The residence is situated in a wide, well-kept and fully fenced garden with beautiful plants and palm trees. The illuminated swimming pool with jacuzzi is one of the most spectacular pools I have ever seen. The rooms are very nice and fully air-conditioned. Beautiful, tranquil surroundings and the stunning nearby beach of Grotticelle, known as the most breathtaking beach in Capo Vaticano, await you there.The water in the sea (The Tyrrhenian Sea) is perfectly clean and clear, you feel as if you were at the Maldives.The hotel boasts of a free shuttle service to Marinella Hotel and to the beach. The breakfast is very good, you can have both cornetto or some fruit and some salty things like cheese or ham and of course drink the best coffee in the world. The lunch and dinner, served in Hotel Marinella, are spectacular, abundant and carefully prepared. The staff and management make you feel relaxed all the time. Anything we asked for was immediately delivered. The greatest friendly atmosphere we have ever met! Giuseppe from the pool bar prepares the best coctails and drinks and serves them always with his beautiful smile on his face ? I highly reccomend this place!
