About this property

Lovely hillside apartment with magnificent sea views and excellent facilities.

Two bedroomed, air-conditioned hillside apartment situated in the unpolluted little village of Joppolo on the Tyrrhenian Coast of Calabria, which has been preserved from tourist exploitation. The sea is rich with activity and is a perfect oasis for diving and snorkelling. An ideal spot for a quiet and relaxing holiday, Joppolo View has unforgettable sunsets across the Golfe di Gioia with breathtaking views of Etna and Stromboli. Situated only 10 km from the sandy beaches of Capo Vaticano and Santa Maria and 12 km from the Feudo Montalto golf course, this apartment is finished to a high standard and is currently available at a considerable discount until the landscaping (including a swimming pool) has been completed.

Great location. Very quiet and peaceful, but just a short walk to two local bars/trattatoria
This was our second stay at the apartment at Joppolo View. It has everything we need, peaceful and calm, but walking distance to more lively bar and trattatoria. Local shop two minutes walk away.

Wonderful location
The location is wonderful. Sitting outside the apartment looking out over the bay is just perfect. Very quiet when we were there in early March but still found a bar with very friendly locals., cheap beer and food to die for. Easy to get to from airport. Good value. We will be back soon.

Very silent place and peaceful people
In apartment at Joppolo we stayed two weeks from 27'th August and we spent there very exciting time. We visited towns like Tropea, Pizzo, Nicotera and also we took a ship trip to Eolie, Volcano, Lipari and Stromboli islands. We wanted to visit Sicilly island and volcano Etna but we got only to port Villa San Giovanni and there was some troubles with our car. Then we had to found car repair and tried to solve this problem. This way I would like to thank neighbors Steve and Alex for help with communication to Italian servicemen and women from Germany (I forgot her name) who drove me to repair shop in Ricadi. It finished at the end happy and we luckily arrived home to Czech Republic, it was 2000km. We are family with four children and I think that apartment is fully-equipped for this kind of family, so we spent very lovely time and maybe we come back to visit Etna yet.

Beautiful tranquil setting with well equipped apartment
This is a beautiful tranquil part of Italy with stunning views of the coastline and sea from the apartment. The apartment itself is extremely well equipped and clean with plenty of towels, linen and cooking utensils for an extremely comfortable stay. There are a few good local restaurants within walking distance of the apartment and if you have a car this widens the options to visit elsewhere. Tropea is within half an hours car journey (or a quick train journey from the bottom of the hillside) where there is a bustling town, the marina and a great lido called lido el nonno (I think). This is perfect for the children as it boasts shallow water and a safe beach. The apartment is due a swimming pool on site in the near future and this will make the apartment even better. An idyllic holiday location for anyone wanting to escape the busy day to day life for a real break.

Uncommercialised scenic apartment
Really friendly local people & reasonable prices at all eateries compared to other parts of Italy. Accomodation very well stocked & clean & tidy. Air con was a blessing as extremely hot during our stay! A week was definitely not long enough to explore everywhere. Would recommend a visit to local bar top of the hill in village centre next to church, only frequented by locals. Excellent food, we hardly cooked in at all. Never tired of the view across to Sicily & watching the little coastal train wind it's way around the foothills. Very peaceful surroundings. Icing on the cake would be the pool which is being planned. Totally relaxing, enjoyable stay. Teresa & Chris :-)
