Residenza il Barone

We have stayed for the third time in this excellent appartment, situated in the centre of the old part of Tropea. The host, Saverio, is very kind and helpful, the breakfast staff extremly friendly and amicable. The rooms in an old historic building, just a corner away from the main square of the centre, are modern, very clean and well equipped. Breakfast is served on a roof terrace, with great views over old Tropea. As long as there is no live band playing on the main squaire, it is very silent, as the old part of Tropea is practically a car-free zone.

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.

Beautiful rooms, clean, location was Center to everything. Saverio was very kind and helpful. Gave us some pointers where to go.The (2) ladies who served us at breakfast were very friendly, great breakfast. We felt very welcomed. Would definitely go back.

The Residence Barone had us in the centre of Tropea. Our host Saverio was extremely helpful with our late arrival. He provided a list of restaurants which did not disappoint. The rooftop terrace was a highlight everyday and the breakfast was perfect for our needs. Rooms were spacious bed and bedding extremely comfortable and the bathroom clean and efficient. Tropea great stop in Calabria.
