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! Peter

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!

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.

Best Secret in Tropea

I cannot say enough about this hotel and the family that owns it and operates it. It is truly a full family operation so it works like a well oiled machine. They are friendly. They speak English German Italian. They will accommodate you with whatever you need. The location is perfect getting to all of the surrounding areas the restaurant included with the hotel is wonderful great food everything is homemade and grown fresh and local. We cannot say enough about this hotel, and I will definitely be visiting again I highly recommend the boat cruise that they will offer you and we actually ate dinner in the hotel every night fresh local food.

Can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Two story (we asked for a ground floor), ours had a large patio with chairs, table. The A/C works better than any that we have encountered, and the bed is very comfortable. There is Wi-Fi in the room and at the restaurant. The windows have screens on them so one can open the windows for the breeze. Plenty of power outlets. The property is very quiet, one can see the ocean, it is just steps from their restaurant, where we had a delicious dinner. Today breakfast included cereals, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, meats and cheeses, coffee machine that makes fresh coffee. Gated parking. The owner and staff are very welcoming and speak several languages. Wish we could stay longer and use this as a base for exploration of Calabria.

Fabulous!

Immediately upon arrival, I was greeted with incredible friendliness & helpfulness. This is a family run business, and everyone was invested in making sure the stay was pleasant and that you had everything you needed. I had a few challenges and the whole family helped out from picking me up at the train station, to getting me a last minute car hire. I have never stayed at a hotel where the people were so helpful and kind! The restaurant on site was incredible; I ate there every night. The food absolutely stellar, as well as an incredibly organized and friendly staff. My room was clean & comfortable. I appreciated that the room has an outside area with chairs to sit after a long day out and about. I will miss my friends that I made while staying there, and will absolutely return. Grazie mille per tutto!
