Villaggio Agrumeto in Capo Vaticano

We spent a week in a superior room here end of September. The hotel garden is wonderful, very well kept, clean. The room was spacious, bathroom great, everything clean. Enough place to store clothes. Daily 2 botter of water in room. The pool area is clean, enough sunbeds. Beach service very good. Breakfast and dinner superb, coffee the best. All the staff very nice. Especially, Gudrun, Antionio and the girls making the pancakes in the morning. We will definetely come back here if we stay in Calabria next time.

Beautiful location with private beach. The beach is a little coarse and there are rocks in the ocean, but it was really nice. The pool and pool deck were great. Breakfast was good. Lunch and dinner menus were mediocre. Overall very happy with our stay.

Beautiful location, so idyllic and peaceful. Close to Tropea for shopping and adventures but ideal to also just enjoy the beach and relax.

Great property for families! Staff and hotel is very accommodating. Baby bathtubs, bibs, cutlery, cups, etc. could you more seating around the pool as it was often slim pickings. Grounds were beautiful, very well maintained, and the sunsets, unreal!

A very enjoyable stay in a beautiful environment. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel could benefit from more stock including small food provisions in the boutique. The room would benefit from a kettle and more effective air conditioning.

10/10 exceeded expectations. Room was amazing with a private plunge pool on the deck. The views are amazing and the restaurants are very well done on the ocean. Clean and felt like a Hawaii oasis

Very helpful and kind staff. Good service. Nice and clean rooms. Highly recommended resort.

Spent two weeks here with our two children (aged 10 and 8). The quality of the resort and service is very high. Rooms and gardens are kept immaculate. Pool area is also clean. Food is locally sourced and is excellent. We were half board which included a buffet breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the sea and a 4 course a la carte dinner in Le Giare restaurant overlooking the gardens. The menu changed each day and children had a separate 3 course menu (which did not change). The quality of the kids menu was a little disappointing as it consisted of fried fish fingers, burger or fried chicken cutlets. We would have preferred unprocessed food, like chicken breast or fillet of fish but kids were allowed to eat off the main a la carte menu which ours did some nights. The hotel website advertises inflatables in the pool but there aren't any at the moment. There are two SUPs, kayaks & pedalo on the beach for guests' use (free of charge). We weren't told on check in that you have to pay if you want to use a sun lounger on the beach that is on the front row so we were surprised when a lifeguard asked us to pay half way through our holiday! Given the price paid for the accommodation, I wouldn't expect to have to do this. The beach is very rocky (no soft powdery sand here) so water shoes are advisable. The sea is crystal clear, warm and has an abundance of fish very close to shore so is excellent for snorkeling. The hotel describes itself as having a private beach but it does allow non-staying guests to use the beach and pool so we found it got very busy at the weekend which spoilt the atmosphere a little. Unfortunately the hotel is sandwiched between two other hotels which have loud sound systems that are audible from the pool! The hotel is very remote and there aren't any bars or restaurants in walking distance (other than the bar of the hotel next door which we visited for lunch one day). We got the train from the airport and noticed some hotels picking people up in mini buses from the train station (Ricadi) but we had to pay for a taxi (which the hotel organised). Taxis are very expensive. It cost €18 from Ricadi Station to the hotel which is a 5 minute drive. We got the train to Tropea a few times which is worth doing. Trains are very reasonably priced but the walk to Ricadi station from the hotel is up a very steep hill and in the middle of a heatwave with young children wasn't doable for us so we had to pay for a taxi each time. We walked back to the hotel from the station one day and even at 6:30pm it wasn't a pleasant experience. It's a shame the hotel doesn't provide a complimentary shuttle service to and from the station. Sharing a taxi with other families would also be consistent with the hotel's eco friendly credentials. Overall, we were happy with the hotel and would return but, due to the remote location and the expense in reaching the train station to explore the surrounding area, we'd come back for one week rather than two.

Excellent but excellent place! Pictures can’t describe the beauty of it! The Resort is amazing, staff amazing, food amazing … wish the food could have been served also after 9:30 pm… I would give this place over 5 stars if I could have.
