Our 6th visit to this fanatstic hotel - wouldn't stay anywhere else

Reviewed By Barnchester

This was our 6th stay at Hotel Rocca della Dena, and our first since the pandemic. The hotel is in a beautiful location with amazing sea views. Our favourite part of the day was having a glass of wine in the evening on the terrace. We have stayed before in the sea view rooms, but this time we were in a room overlooking the street. They are all good. It's a 10 minute walk into the old town where there's a fantastic choice of restaurants, and the hotel has it's own private steps to the beach below. But what makes this place special is the staff, their friendliness, service, and attention to detail. Thank you for another wonderful stay and we will be back next year!

Feel ripped off with private lodge!!

Reviewed By peepsmonmouthshire

Stayed here 14th-28th May. I'll start with the pros staying in the private Lodge Immaculate grounds, lovely swimming pools. Beautiful kept gardens. Friendly staff. Lovely walk to the beach through a forest, with activities as you walk through. Like chess, park for the children, archery, hammocks. Beautiful shingle beach. Bring beach shoes also sand can get hot. Sports on offer really good Now for the cons this going to be a long One! We paid £450.00 to upgrade to private lodge. On the tui web site advertises room with sofa large room with free gift and bottle of wine on arrival. We didn't get that. We had a small room, no draw space. My husband had to leave his case on balcony as there was no room to put anything. It was possibly the smallest room I have ever stayed in! No wine The lame offerings in fridge one bottle of beer?? There is two of us. Shall we share it?? Couple cans of pop Two bottles of water. NO IRON went to reception to ask for one. They told me irons are forbidden in hotel!! I asked why, they said just in case we burn room down!! Well if got to my mid forties and haven't burnt down my house yet!! NO BREAKFAST TEA BAGS they ran out of tea bags for 4 days. I don't want earl grey or fruit tea. TOOK DRINKS OFF ALL INCLUSIVE first week we were there they had a cheap version of Bailey's in p/l bar also other liqueurs they took them off the drinks menu. Had Smirnoff vodka first week cheap one 2nd week. Smirnoff Never returned. Drinks really poor in p/l. The first 12 days the p/ l bar closed at 11pm. Turned off lights at 10.55 and kicked everyone outside. Many people complained to it was too early as they didn't want to go over to familyl bar with kids. Whole reason why people booked p/l for peace and quiet. FOOD always cold. Unless you were there as soon as it opened. P/l speciality restaurant was much better. Food at family side restaurant was 10 times better. Alot more choice.Not what you want to hear when you pay all this money for the so called better upgrade. Mornings/evenings at p/l was table service absolutely chaos. Waiting ages for drinks. This review only touches the surface of the little niggles I had during my 2 week stay. Definately wouldn't return. Don't waste your money on private lodge!!

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.

With no doubts, the best place to be

Reviewed By Marcelool

I could not think of a better place to be in the whole Italy! Staying at Residenza RoMa in Tropea for one week was definitely the highlight of the trip. First of all, the room is amazing, modern, clean, spacious and with a outside area for you to enjoy the pleasant evenings. The internet connection is also good ( this was important for us since we were working some days) and the location is also good, just some minutes away from the city or from the beach. The breakfast, oh the breakfast! My god, sometimes I was not sure if I was awake or dreaming ? But the best thing from this place is not a thing. Is its people. We had the best attention and care from Anna, Antonio and Chris. It was amazing! I leave here my gratitude for them and for everything we lived there. Really, I have no worlds to describe it. I can only recommend you to give yourself this experience when in Tropea.

Hotel Village Eden

One of the most beautiful parts of the Calabrian coast, Tropea town and the Capo Vaticano area treasure the natural beauty, history and most attractive holiday resorts - those where man followed the natural landscape and where hotels and villages are hidden among generous Mediterranean vegetation. Placed literally on the beach, underneath Capo Vaticano, the village is only 30 metres from the seashore. Well developed amid trees and coastal slopes, Eden seems to be the natural part of this most exciting Calabrian coastal spot.

Skip for somewhere in downtown Tropea or Sicily

Reviewed By Gabbi C

This is a lovely resort for local italian families with young children. This is not a resort for international tourists—there are many better options that provide more value for your money. The beach is beautiful, but many staff members are less than friendly, and the atmosphere feels more like an Italian summer camp. If you do not have a car you will be very bored in the evenings.

A beautiful resort with friendly staff.

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.

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.
