Fodor's Expert Review Villa Paola

Contrada Paola 6, Tropea, Calabria, 89861, Italy

Converted from an elegant 16th century Franciscan convent and immersed in gorgeous, flowery grounds and cloisters on the outskirts of Tropea, this pastel-hued retreat-style hotel has stylish, minimalist interiors and wonderful tranquil terraces replete with infinity pool and breathtaking views. Breakfast is bountiful and fresh, and served a la carte, while the De' Minimi restaurant delivers excellent seafood dishes.    

PROS

  • large beds and quality linen bedding
  • warm Calabrese staff
  • elevated views over Tropea and the sea

CONS

  • perhaps lacks the full five-star facilities and attentiveness
  • a 15-minute walk from the beach
  • occasional weddings may break the exclusive retreat feel
