The location was private and a 10 minute drive into Tropea. It had a large beautiful pool with chaise lounge chairs to relax. It was a pleasant surprise. Staff was awesome.

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.

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!)
The structure is located near Capo Vaticano, with a wonderful view on the sea, a wide garden and parking area, and a refreshing swimming pool; the structure is quite well kept, and the owners' availability and kindness stand out - they led us through phone to the structure, assisted us thoroughly with a problem we had with the air conditioning in our room, and were available at any hour. The apartment we had was a first (and last) floor, spatious and comfortable - hot climate notwithstanding - but air conditioning was badly needed!
The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Service with a smile. The breakfast was included and was outstanding. Fruits, juices, eggs, muffins, cheese, capochino, etc. Wr also ate dinner here after arriving and thoroughly enjoyed it. An extremely excellent value. The grounds were beautiful and well cared for. The location was a short walk to the lighthouse and a 10 minute walk to the beach (15 minutes up the hill). I would certainly stay here again
The view and the area are gorgeous. The swimming pool, beach club - everything was great. We also had a yoga class, which was amazing! Some details were very thoughtthrough. The staff was amazing. There's a golf car which takes you to the beach club and back, so you don't have to walk. It's also accessible for handicapped. The hotel itself is very cozy.
I really recommend this place for a relaxing holiday with your family or with your partner.
We as a family enjoyed the breakfast and lunch served on premise. We also enjoyed the beach chair and umbrella access. The rooms were spacious and the staff kept the rooms very clean for us. We all loved the female bartender who took care of the snack bar at the pool. She was delightful and made amazing drinks.
If I could rate this hotel 11 I would. Everything was perfect, from the hospitality to the facilities, from the staff to the breakfast. Highly recommended!! The location is also amazing. Hoping to return soon!!!
Hospitality of Teresa & Francesco is outstanding, so far one of the best hosts I've met. There are very helpfull with any questions (beach, resto, boat rental) and thei Calabrian dinner evening was perfect!!!
The Staff at the Grotticelle went out of their way to be as professional and courtious as possible if not even just a little more. The Hotel is clean and inviting... Breakfast is just as perfect !!
The staff is really friendly. The hotel is clean and they have a few transfers to the beach during the day. Also, breakfast is very nicely served. Would definitely recommend it.
It is situated right on the beach. Gorgeous views for dining with a pool and lounge area. Clean and well designed rooms. The best breakfast I’ve ever seen offered by a hotel.
Locations and views are unbelievable. Cabanas are beautifully built, Mediterranean style, and a private road easily bring you to the beach either walking or by car
Excellent beach, pool and surroundings. Quiet hotel, good food, nice staff, fun animation, very good place for families with kids - everything is close by!
Beautifully located, white sandy beaches, looks like Azia. Staff is amazing, beds are comfortable and the salt waterpool is great. Will come back here!!
