Fodor's Expert Review Villa Paola

Contrada Paola 6, Tropea, Calabria, 89861, Italy

Converted from an elegant 16th-century Franciscan convent and immersed in gorgeous, flowery grounds and cloisters on the outskirts of Tropea, this pastel-hued retreat-style hotel has stylish, minimalist interiors and wonderful tranquil terraces replete with infinity pool and breathtaking views. Breakfast is bountiful and fresh, and served à la carte, while the De' Minimi restaurant delivers excellent seafood dishes.    

PROS

  • elevated views over Tropea and the sea
  • warm Calabrese staff
  • large beds and quality linen bedding

CONS

  • occasional weddings may break the exclusive retreat feel
  • a 15-minute walk from the beach
  • perhaps lacks the full five-star facilities and attentiveness
