Villa Paola is an exclusive 5-star luxury hotel housed in a charming 16th-century convent, perched on a cliff overlooking the coast of Tropea and the crystal-clear sea of Calabria. It offers an unparalleled view of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola and the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia. The resort combines a rich history with impeccable service and sophisticated luxury, guaranteeing an unforgettable experience.
The rooms and suites have been renovated with great attention to detail, preserving the original architecture and integrating a modern and elegant design. Most accommodations offer a spectacular view of the sea and the famous Tropea panorama. They are equipped with all the comforts of a luxury hotel, including artisan bath products and fine linen.
Villa Paola’s gourmet restaurant offers revisited Calabrian and Mediterranean cuisine, with creative dishes made with fresh, local products, often sourced from the villa’s private garden. Dinner on the panoramic terrace, with the sunset over the sea and Stromboli on the horizon, is a high-level culinary experience. An elegant bar is also available for cocktails and aperitifs.
The resort boasts a splendid infinity pool with a sea view, surrounded by a solarium and a lush botanical garden that hosts exotic species and secular plants. This green space, passionately maintained, offers corners of relaxation and tranquility. The proximity to the historic center of Tropea and the beach (reachable by shuttle service) combines the villa’s exclusivity with the convenience of exploring the area.

His Opinion: The most beautiful hotel in which we stayed on our latest trip to Italy!! Lovely large room with superb bathroom, elegant linens and top notch toiletries. Magnificent views, beautiful gardens and swimming pool. Breakfast served on the terrace with fresh juices, pastries etc. Marie-Christine, the owner, could not have been more welcoming or helpful suggesting several local restaurants and making the reservation. The hotel, housed in a restored convent, is lovingly restored and is very intimate. We loved wandering around the beautiful gardens and admiring the views over the old town.
As frequent travelers who have stayed in many top-rated hotels, we would recommend this one without reservation.
