This was a unique dinning experience. From the Anti pasta to the desert was spectacular. This was our second visit to Hotel Barbieri and will come again. Off the beaten path but well worth the time. Thank you to the Barbieri family, they made us feel welcome another time.

Gorgeous Hotel that sits just above Acquamarina beach and overlooks the Tyrrhenian sea. Our…read moreexperience was incredible from the moment we walked in. We were greeted by gracious hotel staff that offered us champagne to enjoy on the rooftop terrace. When you walk out onto the terrace, you get the most incredible views. They also have a hot tub on the rooftop. The main lobby of the hotel small but includes a dining area where you eat breakfast and a small wine cellar. The receptionist are great and can book any events or make restaurant reservations for you. The rooms are very clean and spacious compared to a lot of the other hotels in the area. Overall, a wonderful hotel with some of the most beautiful views of Tropea. I highly recommend staying here on your next trip.

A boutique hotel in Tropea overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea that has it all....and then some!…read more Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood a few short blocks from the main Piazza, The Hotel Rocca Della Sena, is an exquisitely appointed 15-room boutique hotel with sweeping, panoramic views of the sea and every ammenity that travelers would want to experience when planning an authentic Italian seaside holiday in true Italian tradition and comfort. Having come from Sorrento after a week's visit, it is obvious to me that the Calabria coastal region is the best kept secret of Italy. The medieval history, architecture, piazza, churches, food and warmth of the local people beckon you to stay, enjoy, be nurtured and rejuvenated by all that southern Italy has to offer. Wake up to the sound of the sea and enjoy the hotel's outstanding breakfast selection with every choice of fresh, local foods that are both, extensive, delicious and characteristic of this region. All this with views of the sea from a position perched high above the cliffs. An ideal location to walk to the grand piazza, which is perhaps the most charming, piazza I have seen in all of Italy with it's many medieval buildings, cobblestone streets that meander throughout the town, taking you through dim lit alleyways that boast one market, restaurant and boutique after another. Here you will find the multi-generational locals who embrace all tourists with open arms and wide smiles. Though English is limited, the body language says it all...." Benvenuto nella nostra città e apprezzare tutto ciò che abbiamo da offrire . Siamo molto orgogliosi di Tropea e la sua ricca storia." (translated: welcome to our town and appreciate all that we have to offer. We are very proud of Tropea and it's rich history."

Everything here is wonderful ... kinda magical! From the…read moreminute we arrived, we feel like we are in a dream. The views are incredible. We love the food and the teams at the restaurants take very good care of all the details. Yesterday, we had a few spa treatments ... and today, we will get a salt scrub and massage. The spa is beautiful and very special too. I recommend their unique spa experience for everyone staying here ... plan on a few treatments in advance. It's worth it. Thankfully a friend told us to come here or we never would have known about it. It took a few hours by train to get here from Rome and we stayed four days which is a nice amount of time to explore and enjoy the property. I love it! From the minute we were scooped up at the train station in our little golf cart ... the team here has really made every part of our visit something special to remember. PS: NOTE - Do not use the location - directions of this property from this Yelp page ... whomever added it to Yelp was nearly six miles away from the property so the address and location is incorrect. Check on trip advisor if you need correct directions. It's worth finding ...

They have a wonderful breakfast buffet, pool, and are located right across the street from the beach. The only complaint is that wifi and the cell phone service goes in and out other than that we had a great time.

11 nights in Southern Italy and this was the best place to say. The room was clean, cheerful, and…read morethe amenities well appointed. It was the only place to offer wash clothes and moisturizer. I am so sorry we only had 1 night there as it is easily accessible to the ancestral towns I wanted to visit (Pizzoni, Vazzano, Soriano Calabro).. It's location is close enough to town to be walkable but quiet. Room 19 is charming! Ask for it!

Am I seriously the first review this beautiful hotel? First and foremost, when I return to Pizzo, I…read morewill definitely stay here again! The Jr. suite was fantastic, it was split level with with a patio that overlooked the ocean. The suite was also adjacent to the breakfast area which was served out on the neighboring patio. The suite also came with goodies in the refrigerator. My only warning is that there were very few people who spoke English here in Calabria so check-in was a little awkward but I seemed to manage just fine. Also parking was a little difficult, the buildings were very close together so there wasn't much room to drive. This location is ideal if you are visiting Tropea which is about a 30 minute drive and I highly recommend visiting the Church of Piedigrotta while you are in town, absolutely incredible and not far from this hotel!
