Residenza il Barone

Some places just get it right and this is one of them. From helpful contact before arrival, through advice and helping organise our stay, to great support when a train strike hit our onward travel. Sevario is a great host, his place is charming and Tropea is beautiful.

We loved our stay at Residenza Il Barone! The location is perfect, right in the historic center and close to the beach. Our room was perfectly clean and comfortable. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a highlight, with fresh local ingredients and amazing views. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful throughout our stay. A true gem in Tropea, highly recommended!

Saverio was very friendly, explained the local area and gave us restaurant recommendations. We ate at his family restaurant which was lovely. The room was excellent, hot tub was lovely and everything was very clean. We liked the room and area so much we ended up booking at extra night. Saverio was quick at responding over WhatsApp to anything we needed.

A wonderful place to stay! Everyone was friendly and welcoming, the residences are clean and breakfast on the rooftop was exceptional. The location in town is perfect for exploring Tropea. I highly recommend staying at this residence when visiting.

We recommend il Barone for the great location. The room was clean and breakfast was delicious, especially the croissants! A special grazie to Saverio for being an amazing host, recommending restaurants, and booking a boat trip. We hope to return soon! Samuel (Claire and Paul)

We spent four nights at Residenza il Barone and had a great time. First, Saverio; he is the perfect host. He is polite, patient, and very helpful. He communicated with us by WhatsApp before we arrived and sent clear instructions of how to find the hotel from the train station. He had many recommendations for restaurants [fyi, we enjoyed the Forno Vecchio, and Il Convivio], and guided us on how to find a particular beach we wanted to go to [Spiaggia di Michelino - which was definitely worth the 45 minute walk from Tropea]. All round very decent guy who does his job extremely well. He even lent us an umbrella one day [though we didn't need it in the end!]. We stayed in the Junior Attic room which was spacious, clean and comfortable with a good shower and bathroom ensuite. The free loan of beach towels is a bonus, as is fresh bottled water every day. Wi-fi in the room wasn't always reliable but you can find it on the main staircase if you don't mind hanging around on the landing. Breakfast on the roof terrace is lovely, served by the wonderful Mrs Lizy and Mrs Francesca. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast, croissant, coffee and/or tea, fruit juices, water, omelettes etc. Overall, we had a great stay, and the Residenza Il Barone is perfectly located in Tropea's old town being close to shops, restaurants, concert venues etc. Also worth a mention is the nearby Minimarket da Pina where we bought daily supplies of cheese, olives, vegetables, and gorgeous dried figs stuffed with either walnuts or almonds. Thank you Trope and its people for being so kind and hospitable.
