Hotel Villa Paola

Wow, in a word. We stumbled across villa Paola in 2023 and just knew it was perfect for our wedding. We booked the hotel for exclusive use in April for our 24 guests. Although we had our wedding here ( I’d highly recommend) we also stayed prior and after the celebrations and I have to say Deborah and the team were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food is out of this world, fresh and traditional with a Villa Paola twist. Service and presentation along with wine recommendations are some of the best we have had the pleasure of experiencing. The rooms were cleaned daily and to a high standard, fresh water and mini bar replenishments daily along with complimentary robes and slippers. The gardens were beautifully manicured were necessary and it was also lovely to see the villa with some traditional rustic areas too. I would highly recommend a glass of wine as the sun sets over the town at golden hour! Location is something that needs to be considered as it is a short walk to the town (not well lit in the evenings) however the Villa were more than happy to arrange taxis for guests in our party that required them. Most were happy to walk off the exquisite selection of foods served throughout our stay! We will definitely return as frequent visitors to Tropea. Thank you for being a key part to our stress free wedding and stay.

We came upon this magical place while scouring the internet for somewhere we would always remember. Villa Paola is just that place. With its breathtaking views and beautifully manicured property, it’s hard to believe that a place like this truly exists. The rooms are spacious and immaculate. The amenities are plentiful and to perfection. We must compliment the staff who could not possibly be more attentive and gracious, looking to be of assistance in any and every way possible. The purpose of this trip was to reconnect with family we had not seen in over 50 years. The staff welcomed them to visit and even served them complimentary coffee and delicious deserts! The villa is located a short distance from the center of town; walkable but you may want to ask for a taxi. It’s perfect if you don’t want to be in the center of all the activity. We departed feeling as if we had just left paradise and anxious to plan our next trip back!

If you want to relax and enjoy fantastic service, book this beautiful place.

Luxury and serenity combined.

Amazing meal at villa paolo. Can’t believe there’s such a quality place just outside Tropea. We’ll definitely be going again. We’ve been coming to Tropea for years and only just discovered this place. It’s amazing so we’ll be visiting every time we come to Tropea, so special

This hotel is absolutely incredible! The moment you step inside, you are greeted with breathtaking views and a warm welcome from the entire staff. The gorgeous gardens and hidden pathways only enhance the beauty of this stunning establishment. The infinity pool, strategically positioned on the hillside, offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement with its built-in jacuzzi. And one of the most outstanding aspects of this hotel is the abundance of inviting spaces where you can sit and truly embrace the serene views and peacefulness of rural life. Not only is the staff at this hotel friendly and welcoming, but they are also incredibly informative and helpful. They go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is memorable and enjoyable. Little gestures, like leaving sweets and thoughtful notes in your room, make you feel truly valued as a guest. Moreover, they show great patience and willingness to teach you some basic Italian phrases, making you feel more connected to the local culture. Their genuine efforts to enhance your experience truly set this hotel apart. Thank you to Luca, Maria, Pietro, Anna, both Francesco’s

There was a committed high level of excellent service in this place. The property is really something to see. The breakfast and service each morning was excellent The location is close enough to the middle of Tropea but far enough away that you have tremendous peace and quiet if you are still looking for a place to stay in Tropea, stop looking...this is the place

Villa Paola is a magical place. When you arrive there is a private and easily accessible parking area adjacent to the property. Then you enter and you are afforded a private tour of the incredible property. Thank you Anna! Our room was spectacular. A room complete with a sauna, a private lounge area and an incredible bedroom. Then we experienced arguably the most incredible dining experience of our lives. Grazie Mille Luca, Maria and the entire De’ Minimi Restaurant Team. An evening we will never forget. The next morning we were treated to a spectacular breakfast in our room. Sadly we had to depart however the team was there to say goodbye and offer additional gifts. Then before we officially departed we spent time in the church connected to the property which represents a unique and special history. I have never been so emotional leaving a property. Villa Paola offers an experience that is beyond comparison...it touches your heart and soul. We are already planning our return.

We regret only stayed here for a day! Everyone here is super friendly and helpful. The hotel is in an amazing location with spectacular views! Breakfast is great and they even grow their own vegetables here! One of my best ever hotel experiences!
