ananea Tropea Yachting Resort

Breakfast at Molo17 restaurant was a real highlight. The buffet had a great selection of quality food and drinks, plus freshly made choices from the menu. Service was excellent and gave each morning a lovely start. We were also very happy with the spacious, beautifully designed rooms, including the double showers. It's a small luxury hotel with minimalist style. The main issue was temperature control. Our room and the halls were too hot, staying above 25 degrees even with the setting lowered. We had to sleep with the windows open, and hot air seemed to blow through the halls constantly. The hotel should manage this better, and could save energy and money too. The pools are closed in winter, though some room types come with a private pool. I hope we can return in summer.

The kids loved the pool, and it was an easy walk to both the center and the beaches. Breakfast was among the best we've had in Italy. This is a wonderful resort in a stunning location, with world class service from the restaurant waiters.

We arrived in the late afternoon feeling hungry, but everything nearby was already closed. The hotel still managed to provide us with sandwiches. It was a lovely winter stay, and the service was impeccable.

At first, check-in was nice. But the room wouldn't cool below 22 C, so I called the front desk. Victor said the whole hotel was set warmer than outside because it was winter, which meant we couldn't sleep at a lower temperature. His suggestion was to open the window. That's ridiculous: within 15 minutes of opening the balcony doors, moths and little insects were coming in. We could hear people talking outside, and the building's light shone into the room. It was a total disaster. Does the ownership even stay in their units to see that this doesn't work? I'm not happy at all. Be ready to sweat or sleep badly. The place may have new renovations, but you're paying for cheap cuts that end up hurting you.
