Hotel Tirreno

Excellent séjour où le personnel est au petit soin avec les invités. La clientèle début octobre était plutôt allemande du 3e âge, apportant tous les services nécessaires : navette pour aller diner à Tropea, ou pour aller à la plage toute la journée, sur la plage des emplacements réservés pour les gens de l'hôtel, chiliennes, parasols et serviettes. Chambre tout confort bien conçu, literie excellente, TV, clim et wifi, avec une terrasse privative table et chaises pour profiter du outdoor. Ma vue donner sur le jardin, d'autres chambres peuvent donner sur la grande piscine de l'hôtel. Le petit déjeuner buffet est bien garnie et avec des produits frais, petits changements tous les jours pour les plats salés histoire de ne pas tomber dans l'ennui, on peut aussi manger sous la vigne dans la véranda si estival. Le personnel est super agréable, anglais très compréhensible, mais aujourd'hui avec les applis de traduction on peut faire des miracles ! La chambre 94 est un peu bruyant au dehors car on est à côté d'une machine à pompe, c'est pas non plus hyper gênant. Par contre attention aux moustiques, même en octobre, penser à apporter de l'huile essentielle de citronnelle. La plage est à 15 min à pied, le plus dur c'est les montées de côte en retour, mais la plage de PARGHELIA est vraiment magnifique, à côté c'est Tropea et tout peut se faire à pied (3 km), mais il faut grimper. Dans la ville de PARGHELIA (10 min à pied) il y a un restaurant digne d'un Michelin qui s'appelle "il Portale" absolument incontournable, les fruits de mer et poissons sont d'une fraîcheur époustouflante, à ne pas rater à tout prix, leurs pizzas blanches ou rouges regorgent des ingrédients du coin, c'est excellentissime !

One of the friendliest hotels we've stayed in. The owner Stefania worked very hard to meet the needs of all her clients. The staff always had a smile and time to provide information and basically just be nice. Comfortable room, kept extremely clean. A very quiet area and near to some lovely beaches and the main resort of Tropea - the latter a 30-40 minute walk away for the energetic, short taxi ride for others. The hotel offers a shuttle service in the evening. The hotel has its own reserved section of beach with really good sun loungers and parasols. It's only a 15-20 minute walk but the hotel has a regular shuttle service to this beach. The crystal clear water makes the beach excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Back at the hotel, there is a self-service breakfast with plenty of choice. Table-service excellent quality evening meal with reasonable portion sizes. An extensive wine list offering plenty of really good quality local Calabrian wines, all of which were new to us as they don't make it typically to UK shores. No car? With a nearby train station it's easy to travel to places like Scilla and Pizzo which are beautiful in their own right. Of course there's also the opportunity of trips to the aeolian islands including stromboli. We didn't do this as we'd done that trip from Sicily in the past. But on clear days you will be able to see stromboli on the horizon and witness some fabulous sunsets.

We stayed here for 2 weeks in June and had a lovely time. We have been to italy many times but not this part which was so unspoilt and not as touristy as other places. This hotel is about 1 mile from tropea downhill but is easily walked which we did everyday it was a bit of a struggle walking back up hill but only because of all he pizza and pasta we ate at lunch. The hotel does offer a free shuttle bus for guests. There is a nearby beach with complimentary sunbeds and parasol which was lovely. There's also a another beach in parghelia if you turn left out of hotel keep going left its a real gem there are quite a few steps down but it's worth it. We stayed half-board so had breakfast which had everything you could want plenty of fresh pastries, meats, cheeses, cereals and fruit. We had to choose what we wanted for dinner after breakfast which we did at reception every morning. There's a choice of 3 pastas 3 meat/fish sides and dessert which we never struggled to chose from infact we expected to eat out most nights but only did once the food was very good. The hotel has a lovely pool very picturesque and quiet it's truly an amazing hotel run by a lovely family who really look after you. we will definitely return .

The staff at Hotel Tirreno are simply the best! Stefania was available to answer questions, make suggestions as to what to see & do, and always with a lovely smile. Her brother was also very helpful and kind. The hotel is very well run, has a beautiful pool and very good restaurant. The free shuttle to the beach and into Tropea was a big plus.

Just the overall place, the staff, their helpfulness and, quite honestly, of in October, by way in contrast to the UK, the weather !! Its just a beautiful place, the area, the beaches, the sea, the town of Tropea and the hotel. If you get an opportunity, go 🇮🇹🥂

Very peaceful and welcoming hotel. Stefania and the team are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. The food of an evening is absolutely superb. Pool and beach club are great. Evening Trips to Tropea with Francesco are great. Love it. ..

We spent a week in this wonderful hotel to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday. We travelled with TUI but I emailed the hotel beforehand to ask for an upgrade to a sea view room (at an additional cost). This room was so worth the extra cost. Stephanie allocated us room 216, considered the best room because of its fantastic view of Tropea, the sea and the pool. The sunsets from our balcony were incredible. The food at the hotel was excellent and so was the service. The pool is heated to a perfect temperature and very well maintained. We spent most days at the beautiful beach where the sea is the clearest sea I have ever been in. The hotel has a private section on the beach with comfortable sun beds and a lifeguard who is also part of the hotel staff. There is also a very good bar/restaurant at the back of the beach which serves excellent food. The owner of this restaurant is related to Stephanie at the hotel! The hotel has a pool bar which is also open in the evening. We enjoyed drinks after dinner in the bar where we met some of the other hotel guests. Leonardo is a wonderful barman, and waiter! Thank you Stephanie, Dario and all the staff for a brilliant holiday. I hope we can return again.

We stayed at this delightful family run hotel for a week in Sept. It was our 4th visit in 15 years (we have not returned anywhere else abroad, we are not the sort of people who go back to the same place as there are so many wonderful places in the world). Hotel Tirreno is an exception as it is so outstanding and Tropea is a relatively unknown italian gem. There have been a few changes over the years at the hotel and more are planned, with a new building going up (no building works going on while the hotel is open). The hotel has a large pool, deep enough to swim in and a bubble area too. This is a perfect place to relax after exploring the area or just topping up your tan, there are plenty of sun beds and pool towels provided. A pool bar has snack lunches as well as an impressive drinks menu. There is also a private beach a short walk away which has the most comfortable sun beds, the life guard also looks after hotel guests really well. The sea is the brightest turquoise and there are lots of fish to see even without snorkelling. The beach has a row of pebbles at the tideline so you may want beach/water shoes if you don’t like to walk on these. There were plenty of sun beds on the beach and space to move to be in the shade if preferred. We ate dinner at the hotel twice during our stay and the a le carte menu had local dishes and plenty of choice. The prices were in line with the better restaurants in Tropea. Meals were taken on a lovely terraced garden area. I am coeliac and need to have gluten free meals and this was easily accommodated at dinner. At breakfast the staff brought me additional GF products to supplement the cereal I had brought and there was a huge range of fruit, cold meats, cheeses, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and usual breakfast goodies. Our room had a lovely sea view and was large with plenty of storage, the bed was so comfortable. The hotel has always been absolutely spotless and this was our experience again this time. There are some nice touches that have been lost at other places such as placing a sweet treat on the pillow and emptying the rubbish bin on an evening so you feel looked after. The hotel also has a free shuttle to and from the beach (the access is via quite a steep road but if you walk it helps burn off some calories from all the gelati ha ha) and in to town and return on an evening. One of the biggest attractions at the hotel is the staff (and family members who work along side the staff). Nothing is too much trouble, everyone is so friendly and professional. Some of the staff were there when we first visited which suggests the family looks after their staff as well as their guests. We were remembered by a number of the staff despite it being 5 years since our last visit and welcomed like old friends. We will return again in the future, I’m excited to see the new build.
