Il Borghetto is genuinely beautiful, well designed, pristine clean and immediately relaxing on arrival. The pool is a salt water pool (no salt taste by the way) with no added chemicals which makes for a very fresh and soft water experience. Complete with a shaded reading area and kiosk bar serving drinks and food. We stayed in a superior room with balcony overlooking the pool area and out to the sea ( I believe they all do unless you select a garden view) which was modern, well laid out with great functional air conditioning and a large bathroom with walk in shower. Spacious bedroom area with high ceilings adding an additional layer of comfort. Supplied with a fridge full of soft drinks (chargeable on use) and standard kettle and beverages. Practical considerations, you do ideally need a car to make the most of the area to Visit the centre and the beach / port. There is no restaurant at the hotel , so go and enjoy what are a selection of incredible and varied eateries with the Romano restaurant associated with the hotel which is a cut above the rest with exceptional local cuisine and taste.( you pay a little more but you don't have to dine there every night). There is also a very good restaurant/ pizzeria within 5 minutes walk of the hotel called the Locanda if you wanted to stay local. If you like walking then walk to the centre but it gets humid , taxis are available and parking is best achieved earlier in the evening. You cannot underestimate the secure gated parking Il Borghetto offers when you genuinely see what is available and you definitely cannot underestimate the warmth and embrace of a family run establishment from the Romano family through arrival , breakfast and departure

Il Borghetto was a perfect choice for visiting Tropea. Only a few kilometers out of Tropea town (and a hotel shuttle can drop you in town and pick you up for a nominal charge, saving the need for a taxi - which are a rarity in Tropea) the hotel had beautiful grounds and a wonderful pool that was large and ultra clean. A small bar beside the pool could provide snacks and drinks, and there are plenty of umbrellas available to sit under. One of the best things about Il Borghetto is the staff, with Eleanore, Frederika, Manuel, Massimo and so many others making you really feel like part of the family. The hotel picked us up from the train station and dropped us off again when our stay was over. The fresh breakfast in the morning was something you looked forward to the day before . Tasty and homemade food was a delight. I would stay again without hesitation. We even arranged a massage at the hotel for my wife and I and Vera. the masseuse was an expert at her job! All in all a wonderful Tropean stay.

If I had to try and think of something I didn't like (which would be hard) it would be that the bathroom towels could do with being a higher quality.

The overall serenity and natural beauty of Tropea. The breakfast cook made an abundance of homemade Italian delicious food. The servers were pleasant and couldn’t do enough for you. A great laugh with the cleaners. The pool was amazing, true to the photos. Our shuttle driver could not fault him, always pleasant.

This resort is not in old town of Tropea. Be prepared to book the shuttle at all times, or taxi/Uber. Challenging to walk into town and nearby beaches. Car rental a great option.

We had the most amazing stay at Il Borghetto Resort & Spa this week and absolutely loved every moment of it! The property is truly stunning—beautifully maintained grounds that feel like a peaceful oasis. Our room was spacious, extremely comfortable, and tastefully designed for relaxation. The pool area is absolutely fascinating, complete with a great bar where we could unwind and enjoy the surroundings. And the breakfast? Simply the best we’ve had on our trip—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Every detail at Il Borghetto made our stay memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, beauty, and a touch of luxury. We can’t wait to come back!

We chose this hotel knowing it was a few minutes outside town but we liked the large rooms, nice pool and views, and easy parking. The pool was a big bonus after long hot days. The breakfast was also very good and the staff very friendly.

No laundry service was available which, for a resort at this level, is a big miss. There is also no on site restaurant, bar or room service. Fortunately, there is another hotel, a few minutes away, with a very nice restaurant, if one does not feel like driving into town.

From the moment you enter the gates you are treated with impeccably well manicured gardens. With plenty of parking if traveling by car. Walk into reception and you are greeted by the most welcoming host, Manuel who is very eager to explain things about the hotel and things to do around Tropea. Our room was very clean, nicely furnished and had a balcony overlooking the immaculate kept pool area. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to swim in the pool. The relaxed outdoor area in the shaded garden is a perfect way to eat an excellent delicious buffet breakfast with a large selection of home made savory food, sweets and espresso coffee, Thank you to the friendly ladies who always served breakfast with a lovely smile on their face. Thank you Manuel and team, for the best experience in Calabria. See you again soon.

Unfortunately we had to leave this oasis.

Lovely place with beautiful garden with colourful flowers. The resort is situated outside the old city center of Tropea in a quiet neighbourhood. We loved the quietness. Very friendly staff. You can feel that the resort is family-run. There is no restaurant in the resort, but they have an exquisit restaurant in the old city center of Tropea. The breakfast was very authentic and friendly served in an outside patio. Very romantic. We recommend Il Borghetto strongly if you want a romantic holiday for two.

Nothing!

The breakfast spread was incredible, fresh fruit picked right from the property, homemade everything! The pool and snack bar during the day were wonderful. I really can’t recommend this little gem enough!

The rooms were small but they were extremely comfortable and thoughtfully prepared. I loved the bed and bedding. Especially after sleeping on many hard beds during my time in Italy. Also, a golf cart to get you and your luggage from reception to the rooms would be amazing!

Clean fresh rooms with beautiful decor and a fabulous pool area. Breakfast under grape vines had a lovely collection of food and quality was excellent. The staff were fabulous and really helpful and friendly. The whole song where you arebtreblleing to hotel experience was beautiful.

The location is not great as you really cannot walk to the town as the road is too risky. Taxi is euro 5 per person, yes that is correct so a car trip can range from 5 - 25 euro depending on the number of passengers which is ridiculous as the distance of the trip is the same. Noting this can add up substantially depending

We had an amazing stay at Il Borghetto. The property is peaceful, beautiful and very well maintained. We had a room with a large balcony and sea view. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was AMAZING! There was an excellent variety of homemade bakery items as well sauteed and cured vegetables (my husband's absolute favorite). The hotel is an easy 5 minute drive into the historic center. We hope to go back to Tropea and stay at Il Borghetto. We would highly recommend this hotel.

Absolutely nothing. Everything was wonderful!
