Not a hotel, but a restaurant and night club. Infernal noise all night every weekend. Good food in the restaurant but don’t expect to get any sleep.

We had a great time in this hotel. The rooms are exactly what you would expect at the price point. Everything else is one level above the value you pay for.- Super friendly and helpful staff and management- Welcome drink, fruits and bag service- All day pool service with affordable pricing (next level of convenience would be to be able to order via app from the pool area)- Shuttle service to the areas best beach that runs on the minute in-time (highly recommended due to the parking situation)Therefore I can highly recommend to stay in this hotel. If it fits your budget, you will receive over value.

Never experienced such level of hospitality and service at a hotel before. Wish we could stay longer. Great restaurant also! (The only thing I missed was proper glasses instead of plastic cups at the breakfast).

Perfecto!

The vacation in La Bussola Hotel worths it on so many levels!First of all, it was our first trip to Italy, we had no experience and actually no idea what is the better option/region/place to stay. Everything we wanted a vacation near the sea, so a good beach was a priority, not far from some city, cleanliness and a good view. And fortunately we’ve chosen the La Bussola so got everything we wanted and even more.Before coming, we were worried that the hotel is not on beach and not in the center of Tropea , but it wasn’t a problem at all, as it is still close to the seaside and it takes just a few minutes to get there by car, or especially with the transfer provided by the hotel, it is very convenient and easy, the bus is modern and the driver is very nice!The room was clean (big appreciation to the ladies in charge of that, they were extremely nice and did everything just perfectly, loved them!), if you pay for the room with sea view you’ll get a very beautiful sunsets every evening. The room has a fridge with few bottles of free water and actually everything you need for a basic stay - towels, soap and shower gel/shampoo, hairdryer and AC.Wi-Fi is very good, which is a rare thing for hotels) The area of the hotel is very nice! It’s well maintained, a lot of greenery, fruits, free access to the pool (which appeared to be also not a very common thing for other hotels) and free parking. The pool is just a piece of free paradise!) Also there is a restaurant with very delicious food, live music and perfect service! As we were concerned about our free time and activities it was very helpful, because you can go and have fun any time at evening , just down the stairs (but if you want some peace it is also not a problem, the sounds from the restaurant isn’t that loud and you can barely hear it from the rooms).The beach isn’t far away, and it’s probably the best beach we’ve been to - the clean water, the sandy beach, the view, everything was on top of expectations. You have to pay for it if you want and umbrella and stuff, but the hotel kindly provides a free umbrella if you don’t want to spend money , so you can go and get a perfect spot on the perfect beach without any problems or extra payment.Tropea city is also 10-20 minutes from the hotel, so it wasn’t a problem , because you get a quiet peaceful spot just a few minutes from the city with historical sites and supermarkets.So the room and its maintenance, the beach service, the restaurant, the outdoors, the location are very good! But on the first place we would like to put the people, that works there- their kindness and willingness to help and to make your vacation as good as it possible - they are ready to advise you, to help , to meet any expectations and are so nice and welcoming that you feel very comfortable and happy being there. Special thanks to Claudia, Aurora and Maria - they are just simply great and it was only a pleasure to meet them! So it is a perfect first impression of Italy ?? So no regards of choosing La Bussola Hotel, only expectations to come here for more and more times!
