"What a special place to stay and explore the beaches in Parghelia and the Gold Coast. My room was facing the gardens with a view to the main villa and sea in the distance. All rooms have a lovely private patio where a fresh cooked breakfast was served every morning. Comfortable rooms featured air conditioning, beach towels and beach umbrella which came in handy to visit Spiaggia Michelino - it’s simply breathtaking - well worth the hike. Alessandro was a great host, arranging airport transport and offering suggestions for beaches, restaurants and excursions. Parking is available across the road. Restaurants, shops cafe and pharmacy walkable. Easy travel distance to Tropea by car. Definitely worth a return!"
