My stay at this resort was a relaxing escape, surrounded by stunning sea views and a peaceful beach ambiance. The rooms were spacious and kept immaculately clean, providing a comfortable sanctuary. While I appreciated the overall dining experience, I felt that more variety at breakfast would enhance the stay further. The proximity to Tropea is fantastic, but the absence of a shuttle service to local restaurants was a downside. Overall, it's a lovely spot for those seeking tranquility and beautiful landscapes.
