My wife and I loved our quiet get-away at this property. It’s close to Trompea and has all kinds of great restaurants within a short distance drive. The yard of the property is full of flowers, plants and fruit trees really which really added to our sense of tranquility and vacation. The breakfast is outstanding every morning, they have excellent coffee and a wonderful team to greet you every day. My only complaint and recommendation to this property is to upgrade the bedrooms and internet plan. The bed is very uncomfortable, and the pillows gave us both neck pain. I believe sleep should be the top priority of any hotel or villa. The internet barely works, we could not watch TV or download anything on our own devices. Other than that if you are looking to disconnect and enjoy great food ever morning, this is a wonderful property. Thanks for your hospitality.

Equipe do hotel nota 1000!

Este hotel superou as minhas expectativas :)) Tudo lindo, mto bem cuidado. Café da manhã bem servido, buffet com diversas opções, inclusive salgado, além do classico corneto. Chegamos de trem e o transfer ( Inacio) jà estava nos esperando na estação. O serviço de transfer é gratuito e nos leva até a praia. Chegamos no hotel e fomos recepcionados com um drink (um suco delicioso) e salgadinhos e a recepcionista sentou na mesa para nos dar todas as informações. Todos os funcionarios do hotel são super simpáticos e disponíveis! A praia é lindíssima e ainda fica somente à 10min de trem para Troppea. Super recomendo!!

Personale tutto professionale e di una gentilezza unica, piscina per chi la utilizza pulita e attrezzata, ristorante ampio con portate di ottima qualità e preparati a dovere, colazione ottima e abbondante. Consiglio questo hotel . Spero di tornare presto.

Great staff and great food!

We loved our one week stay at La Bussola in July 2017. We stayed as a familiy with two small children, and felt so welcome our hole stay. The staff is sweet and helpful. When we had a misunderstanding about our food order at dinner, they were very flexible and made up for everything. The childred loved the pool and playground. We liked the beach at Tropea better then the one close by (free shuttle bus) , so we drove there ourself. The food at the hotel was really good, we ate here every night. What could be better? Well, the shower teperature is really unstable (everywhere in italy?). And I would like some more vegetables for the breakfast. We had a really good time, and hope to come back again some other time!

Un Discreto 3 Stelle, ma di una Cucina Stellare!

Senza Ombra di dubbio un Buon 3 Stelle, ma da migliorare sotto alcuni punti di vista sopratutto x quanto riguarda le sue camere mi aspettavo un po di comfort in piu, in ogni caso con qualche piccola Attenzione non ha nulla da invidiare a nessun 4 Stelle! Il personale sempre molto gentile e disponibile. Una Lode vanno alla ragazza della Reception ed il Maitre veramente Professionali e Cordiali. Superba la Cucina! Grazie Chef chiunque lei Sia!

Hotel ok, aber ...

Aufenthalt war soweit gut. Lage ist cool weil man schnell in tropea ist und in ricadi. Allerdings ist das Frühstück bei mehreren Übernachtungen echt langweilig - Keine Abwechslung (kein Ei oder ähnliches)! Immer der gleiche Schinken, Käse, Toast und Kaffee ist für Italien wirklich ein Witz! Handtücher gibt es nur jeden zweiten Tag neu, ansonsten 3€ pro extra Handtuch! pool riecht sehr nach Chlor! Außerdem ist das Hotel nicht in der Lage die rewards-möchte seit über einem Monat zu bestätigen!

Fint familjehotell

Rent, fint hotell med trevlig personal. Enda nackdelen med personalen var att det bara var några få som kunde lite engelska.
