This place is run by a family of hard working people and staff the place was immaculate we stayed 6 days best stay in Italy so far after 6 weeks travelling highly recommend this place
We had a great 3-night stay. Restaurant serves great food, excellent breakfast. Dinner is open to locals and good value with an excellent reputation. Our room was in the main building with balcony views of the pool and ocean. Parking is easy and on site. Thoroughly recommended.
We loved our stay at Hotel Borgo Di Santa Barbara. Easily communicated with hotel manager Martina throughout the duration of our stay through WhatsApp - scheduling transit and shuttles from Aurelio (staff). They were extremely nice our entire stay. The restaurant located on the property La Locanda was amazing, great food, nice and quiet patio outside. Would recommend staying here and would come back!
First of all, we were so impressed by the family that runs this hotel. Can’t thank, Katrina, Martina, Fabio, Aurelio, the women who keep the place clean & the two lovely young men at the onsite restaurant. It’s so impressive observing all the above-mentioned staff work together so closely to ensure we as guests, have a phenomenal stay. Although, this hotel is quite a walk from Tropea & can be slightly dangerous as there are no sidewalks, for a surcharge they have a shuttle. However, if the weather was cooler & not 31 Celsius each day, it is doable. Also, a train operates on the back of the property but it wasn’t as annoying as we initially thought it would be. The La Laconda restaurant onsite has an extensive menu and everything is freshly cooked. Breakfast each morning was the same but it was all freshly cooked & baked onsite. Please note, we did notice, that if you request eggs prepared any way you like, they will cook it for you. Our only drawback to this place was the fact you can’t store any bought water or drinks in the mini fridge. We found that quite odd. They do provide drinks, pop & water for a cost but unfortunately, it wasn’t what we normally enjoy. Be aware that if you are a non smoker, guests smoke on the balconies. This was quite frustrating for us as we tried to enjoy drinks & lunches on our balcony which had impeccable views of the sea but unfortunately, our enjoyment was cut short due to the smoking. Too bad this hotel doesn’t have a designated area.
The hotel was clean and beautiful! The staff was lovely and very helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant at the hotel, which was one of the best meals we had in Italy! Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff was at this hotel. They were always so accommodating, helpful, friendly. The restaurant food was delicious and rooms were very clean.
We had a fantastic time at Hotel Borgo di Santa Barbara! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable.
The restaurant on site was honestly outstanding, definitely the most delicious food we have had in Italy thus far! We highly recommend staying at Hotel Borgo di Santa Barbara.
We had a very pleasant stay for one night, and found the hotel to be quiet, comfortable, and serene. The check-in was very quick and easy, followed by a restaurant right on site that does a wonderful dinner as well as a complimentary Italian breakfast. The pool is cozy and received plenty of sunlight, and the room was comfortable along with a top notch A/C and a stocked mini fridge. We’ll certainly stay again next time we’re in town
The best hotel staff, family run- great breakfast in the morning and beautiful property. The beach is only a few minutes away by car and they have transportation as well if you like. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends and hope to visit again soon! Thank you to Martina and family for being such amazing people!
Staff and owners were amazing. Great day trips provided at a great value. Walking at night not possible walking is very hilly, but very enjoyable. Great location, especially if you have a vehicle if you don’t know bus service available walking is your alternative.
The hotel is excellent. The property owners were always ready to help or give suggestions. There’s a great restaurant on site for dinners, they also have a complimentary breakfast.
It’s a quiet area a couple miles outside town, but the owner will take you in his van anywhere you want
Surprise gem --wake up to goats and country living
Family property . All made you feel comfortable and welcome from breakfast with Mom to dinner with her son Fabio- and his beautiful wife and baby girl.
Lovely travel experience. Even in the rain!
We ended our Europe trip with a week at Hotel Borgo di Santa Barbara and it was the perfect choice. The property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful, a great place to unwind. You can relax by the pool or head to Tropea beach, which is just a short drive away. The breakfast each morning was delicious with a variety of options, many of them homemade. The family who owns and runs the hotel is incredibly welcoming and their hospitality really stands out. Everything was also very clean and well taken care of. We had such a wonderful stay and would love to return someday.
The property, staff and food was excelent. Need more staff at restaurant when busy. Reason for the 4 star. I would recommend this property and will stay here again if in Tropea.
Really enjoyed our stay here! Room was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Onsite staff are very friendly and accommodating with needs. They set up shuttles to get us to and from Tropea beach and main square on multiple occasions which made travelling stress free. The onsite restaurants food was delicious so we ate all our dinners there. Overall, the hotel offers everything you would need. We had an exceptional stay and will definitely choose to stay here again should we wind up back in the area in the future.
We loved this hotel, very nice room, great and friendly staff, restaurant onsite was useful and food excellent, great breakfast as well. Note - It is next to a railway line so trains going through early hours of the morning which woke the local roosters which in turn got the neighbourhood dog going! not much sleep after that - not really a complaint because everything else at this property was great.

Room and shared areas were clean and beautiful. The view is simply stunning! The restaurant on site is delicious and the staff is kind. The hotel is not conveniently walkable to town or the beach - a car might be necessary for getting around. The resort pool and pool chairs could’ve used a little cleaning. Other than that, it was a perfect stay!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Borgo di Santa Barbara and I can't express how wonderful our experience was!
From the moment we arrived, the staff (special thanks to Martina, Aurelio, and Barbara) was pleasant and very helpful. The rooms were nicely decorated, spacious, and clean.
The restaurant on the hotel's property was nothing short of amazing. It was our chosen spot for both breakfasts and dinners while staying at Borgo di Santa Barbara.
Overall, my stay at Borgo di Santa Barbara exceeded all my expectations.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with fantastic food and outstanding service!
