Accessibility
This property is at third floor level and therefore may not be suitable for some people with disability impairments.
Outside
The sea may be seen from both balconies. There is also a mountain view from one balcony.
Coast/Beach
An exceptional beach is within five minutes walk, together with Lido facilities (a small fee buys you an umbrella, a table, seats and waiter service for drinks and snacks). There are many other beaches within walking distance and overcrowding is usually not a problem.
Golf
The Feudo Montalto Golf Club is located in Limbaldi, which is only a 20-minute drive south from Tropea.
Skiing
There is a slope about a 2 hour drive away.
Travel
Tropea is 45 mins by car or rail from Lamezia Airport.
Hertz Car Hire is available at the Airport and the route to Tropea is simple and scenic. If you wish to take the train, there are always taxis at Lamezia airport and you will need to take a taxi from the Airport to the railway station (2km). We highly recommend the train! Tropea railway station to the apartment is a ten minute downhill walk. Full directions and local taxi numbers are provided when booking. Keyholder will meet on arrival.
Distances
It is not essential to hire a car for a holiday in Tropea. There are buses to Vibo, trains to Pizzo and Reggio Calabria and there are other places of interest within a short taxi ride. Capo Vaticano is a local beauty spot, and the more adventurous may wish to visit Sila National Park(approximately two hours).
Further details
The Tourist Information office in the centre has helpful, English speaking staff and details of all current events, boat trips, timetables etc. A popular trip is the Aeolian Islands and Stromboli at night. There is an Information Pack at the apartment, with much more detail, but don't miss out on the many excellent fish restaurants in the centre!

Owner profile
About the owner
Hi, I am Bob, married to Janet, and with two grown up daughters (well, sort of grown up !) who are linguists. I am a semi retired surveyor, and spent much of my working life building houses as a small local housebuilder, and Janet works part time managing courses for The Open University.
We are involved with a small Property business in Tropea, and hope to build some villa's for sale next year.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Having been fortunate enough to visit most of Europe over the last twenty five years or so, we chose our property on the basis that we wanted to be central to a "local" community - the REAL Italy !
Tropea is unspoilt by modern development, mostly populated by Italians, is a fantastic resort town, access from the UK is comfortable and the locals are warm, friendly people. There is a winning combination of history, scenery, beaches, markets, excellent restaurants and that magic ingredient that is missing from so many other similar places - atmosphere !
With sunshine hot enough for the beach from April through to the end of October, it is possible for us to take two or three weeks for ourselves and still make it worthwhile to let the property to holidaymakers.
Unique benefits of the property
Our apartment was chosen on the basis that we could walk easily to the many attractions and facilities, and we have many testimonials from our guests reinforcing our choice. Please ask if you would like to view these.
We have also chosen to renovate and furnish our apartment to the standards expected in the UK (full aircon, a decent kitchen, second shower room, IKEA furnishings etc) having ourselves stayed in many that didn't come up to scratch !
