Il Borghetto Resort & Spa

Il Borghetto is genuinely beautiful, well designed, pristine clean and immediately relaxing on arrival. The pool is a salt water pool (no salt taste by the way) with no added chemicals which makes for a very fresh and soft water experience. Complete with a shaded reading area and kiosk bar serving drinks and food. We stayed in a superior room with balcony overlooking the pool area and out to the sea ( I believe they all do unless you select a garden view) which was modern, well laid out with great functional air conditioning and a large bathroom with walk in shower. Spacious bedroom area with high ceilings adding an additional layer of comfort. Supplied with a fridge full of soft drinks (chargeable on use) and standard kettle and beverages. Practical considerations, you do ideally need a car to make the most of the area to Visit the centre and the beach / port. There is no restaurant at the hotel , so go and enjoy what are a selection of incredible and varied eateries with the Romano restaurant associated with the hotel which is a cut above the rest with exceptional local cuisine and taste.( you pay a little more but you don't have to dine there every night). There is also a very good restaurant/ pizzeria within 5 minutes walk of the hotel called the Locanda if you wanted to stay local. If you like walking then walk to the centre but it gets humid , taxis are available and parking is best achieved earlier in the evening. You cannot underestimate the secure gated parking Il Borghetto offers when you genuinely see what is available and you definitely cannot underestimate the warmth and embrace of a family run establishment from the Romano family through arrival , breakfast and departure

What a fabulous find Il Borghetto was, we stayed 6 nights and absolutely loved it. It’s been beautifully created by 4 brothers and their wives who own and run it. It was an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of Tropea, which by the way has so much going on it’s definitely worth visiting. Our room with “mood shower” was spacious and had a large balcony which over looked the pool and a view out to the sea in the distance. Anyone looking for a great place to stay in Tropea should look no further!

You enter an oasis just outside of the old town of Tropea and start to relax the minute you arrive. The grounds are kept in immaculate condition, the rooms are nice and comfortable and the pool is just an excellent place to hang out and enjoy life. The family is so passionate about the lie work and everyone is extremely friendly. The breakfast area and food is outstanding and eating under the pergola is pure Calabria
