Schitterend gelegen rustig hotel met smaakvolle inrichting.
Pros:

Unieke rustige locatie met wijds uitzicht over zee en pittoresk stadje. Smaakvol ingericht hotel.

Cons:

Bij aankomst was het niet duidelijk waar de ingang van het hotel was. We zijn op het kloosterterrein uiteindelijk zelf maar op zoek gegaan en ontdekten achteraan de receptie. Tip: verwelkom gasten in plaats van de gasten jullie te laten zoeken. Hang bijvoorbeeld bij de ingang een bord met pijl en een camera met bewegingssensor, zodat je snel bij beweging bij de ingang iemand welkom kan heten.
We waren er vijf nachten en hebben nooit schoon beddengoed gekregen. Tip: geef eens per twee nachten schoon beddengoed.
Er zat een gaatje in het kussensloop, de sloop was dus oud. Tip: controleer het beddengoed op slijtagegaatjes.
Voor de prijs van de kamer vinden wij dat niet eenmaal per dag, maar tweemaal per dag de kamer geserviced moet worden.
Bij het dineer waren er geen handdoeken in het toilet. Bij het dineer hadden we een wijnarrangement, maar men vergat de wijn bij de eerste gang. Tip: benoem een supervisor die de gang van zaken controleert.

Foi uma estadia muito feliz.
Pros:

Nos hospedamos no Villa Paola em outubro de 2025.
Estávamos de passagem, portanto, dormimos somente uma noite, o que foi uma pena.
É um antigo convento, e possui uma localização fantástica.
A vista também é belíssima.
O hotel tem um charme e uma elegância única.
Os quartos são amplos e o staff é jovem e simpático.

Cons:

O café da manhã foi gostoso, apesar de poucas opções, mas quando passamos por lá, o restaurante principal estava fechado(pelo próprio dia da semana) e jantamos em outro restaurante do hotel. Também achamos que as opções ficam um pouco aquém do charme do hotel.

Emplacement idéal, à 10 minutes à pieds du centre de Tropea, avec une vue magnifique sur la ville.

Cons:

Bâtiment légèrement défraîchi. Nécessiterait quelques rénovations. Personnel de service au restaurant peu formé, pas au niveau d’un hôtel 5*
