Homestays in Calabria, Italy

Francesco is amazing, and is helpful, warm, and go the extra miles to help. I have stayed in many B&B and many are friendly and helpful. What made Francesco special is he is personal, responsive, go the extra mile to help me. I can see and feel from my interactions with him and his interections with other hotel guests were that he cares for all his guests and their wellbeing. One example was he offered to send me to the train station as it was raining at no cost, and provided suggested places to visit and eat and also help with train travel. The hotel location is very good too. 7 mins walk from city centre where all F&B and shops and tourist attractions are located yet away from the crowd. Rooms are spacious and clean with daily house keeping. I am impressed and would recommend this place.

So nice place to stay. Everything is so new and fresh at this apartment. The room is big and bright with a nice balcony where we were chilling at night with a glass of vine. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Location is very good. The owner was very friendly and polite, she helped us to keep our luggage after check-out. The breakfasts were served at the nearest cafes (pastry, coffee, juice). Not big deal but it was ok to have a ancle before the beach. Highly recommend. As a good suggestion for future I can recommend to provide a beach towel to the guests as everybody comes to Tropea for chilling at the beach and sometimes it’s a problem to bring your own towel because of the strictly demands of air companies to the weight of the luggage.

Our host was really excellent at communicating both before and during our stay. Directions to the property and for self-check-in were straightforward and our host gave us some very useful suggestions of what to visit and where to eat. The property was no more than a 10 minute walk from the train station, the castle was practically on the doorstep, and the picturesque promenade was also just a 10 minute walk. The small kitchen area had pre-packaged pastries and there was also juice and coffee pods. This is the first property of 12 in Italy on our interrailing trip to have a kettle 🙂 We British always travel with tea bags 🤣 The bed was very comfortable and roomy.

It's an excellent location for those landing late at the Reggio di Calabria airport . Check in was very self-explanatory , two codes is what gets you in - one for the front door and one for the room key box. The location is on the main street so very easy to find. Giovanni was very kind in absorbing our tourist tax as we had no change to pay same. The bus stop for the line that gets you into the city centre and the train station is a stone throw from the front door. Nothing was lacking or amiss , the only slight drawback is that for people with reduced mobility, if using a crutch or the like , it's very steep flights of stairs.

Anfitrite Hotel was truly a wonderful experience! They were incredibly flexible with our check-in and check-out times, which made our trip so much smoother. The staff went above and beyond to share detailed local tips and hidden gems, helping us discover the best of Tropea beyond the usual tourist spots. The location of the hotel is unbeatable — just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and the charming historic center. Everything felt convenient and welcoming. We are so grateful for their warm hospitality and helpful guidance. Highly recommend Anfitrite to anyone visiting this beautiful town!

My friend and I stayed at Alma for two nights, and we had a wonderful experience. The owner kindly picked us up from the bus station and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Communication was very easy because he speaks excellent English. The location is great, with supermarkets, restaurants, and the beach all within walking distance. The accommodation was very clean, tidy, and modern, with well-equipped rooms. Having a washing machine available was also a big advantage. I would definitely recommend Alma to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

I highly recommend this stay to everyone. It’s conveniently located within walking distance of the train station, offering easy access to trains heading across Italy, plus it’s surrounded by fantastic restaurants. The host included tokens for coffee and pastries at charming, authentic Italian cafés we might not have discovered otherwise—this turned into a delightful daily ritual of immersion in Calabrian culture. The host was friendly and always eager to help. We had the entire unit to ourselves, making it a dreamy, quiet, and cozy retreat for a couple. We’d love to return!

The luxury suite where I stayed exceeded all my expectations. The views from the big terrace overlooking the Messina Strait and Sicily were Spectaculars!!! The attention to detail from our host, Francesca, was excellent. After travelling all around the world and staying in many amazing accommodations, I could resume by saying that my whole experience staying at the luxury suite at Villa Princi was one of a kind and that I will be coming back to experience it again in not time.

The room I rented was very spacious with an ocean view. They offered free espresso every morning and evening. The owners are Italian twins, and they were incredibly considerate and I really appreciated it. I'm very satisfied. La stanza che ho affittato era molto spaziosa con vista sull'oceano. Offrivano caffè espresso gratuito ogni mattina e sera. I proprietari sono due gemelli italiani e sono stati incredibilmente premurosi, cosa che ho apprezzato molto. Sono molto soddisfatto.
