Beauty of Tropea
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by the warm and friendly team.

We were fortunate to receive a beautiful, spacious room with breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and the magnificent 400-year-old pine tree. Waking up to such a view every morning was truly unforgettable.

The entire property is simply picture-perfect. The villa is impeccably maintained, with stunning gardens, singing birds, and an atmosphere of complete tranquility, privacy, and intimacy.

We also had dinner at the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The wine list is exceptional, and the chef’s creative fusion cuisine was both elegant and memorable. Breakfast is served in a peaceful, intimate setting with excellent quality and attentive service.

Villa Paola is a truly special place where beauty, serenity, and outstanding hospitality come together. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Tropea.

Mucho potencial
Pros:

la amabilidad del personal

Cons:

SIN ELEVADOR , SOLO ESCALERAS, el argumento de que fue un convento sería válido para seguirlo siendo , se puede respetar la arquitectura haciéndola mas amigable , la reforma ha sido muy buena pero la falta de señaletica ( sin número en las habitaciones ) , faltan muebles para poner equipaje , malo el wifi , sin porta rollo de papel , frigobar muy austero ( solo 2 jugos) , la carpeta de presentación y actividades ha sido reemplazada x un celular ( no tablet) muy poco amigable , pocas tumbonas en piscina

Un petit paradis
Pros:

Un coin de paradis qui surplombe une mer bleu turquoise et une vue imprenable sur le coucher de soleil
Le restaurant bistrot de l’hôtel est vraiment excellent, il aurait tout à gagner à proposer plus de plats
Proche de tropea à 15 minutes à pied et proche du port pour les excursions
La chambre était magnifique avec une belle lumière et tranquille, c’est très calme
Le personnel est sympathique
Parking pour se garer à côté de l’hôtel, proche de différentes plages, à 1h de scilla et 1h de l’aéroport Lamezia terme

Впечатляваща гледка, залез и красиви градини
Pros:

Местоположение, гледка , персонал, всичко беше страхотно.
Закуската вкусна и интерсна , но нямаше пресни плодове и зеленчуци, въпреки градините под вилата.

Великолепно преживяване
Pros:

Вилата надхвърли очакванията ми многократно. Прекрасно курирано преживяване за всички сетива - гледката, храната, dolce far niente изцяло. Мястото влиза в списъка ми на топ 3 градско бягство за пълен рестарт и почивка. Имахме възможност да отседнем в стаята с тераса, която е с незабравима гледка. Определено ще го посещаваме още много пъти.

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.
