Il Borghetto Creative Resort

extremely charming little hotel, felt like a little escape. the landscaping gardens and pool are beautifully maintained. the rooms are simple but cute and sufficient for a beach holiday. the breakfast is all homemade and wonderful. staff are very friendly

the location is about a 5-8 minute drive into Tropea but it’s too far to walk exposed to the hot sun. the nearest beach is about the same, but there are serious elevation changes so the walk would be a steep downhill and uphill walk. it’s best to have a car otherwise you need to take a taxi everywhere.

Our family were fortunate enough to stay at this lovely resort for 5 days in early July. On the whole our experience was fantastic I would recommend to anyone who wants to relax outside the hustle and bustle of Tropea. Our room was spacious, with a good size bathroom. The room had a balcony over looking the attractive pool area and views out to the sea. The hotel grounds are meticulously landscaped with beautiful plants, flowers and trees. The pool was immaculate and clean with comfortable loungers and towels provided. There is a pool bar available and snacks accompanying the drinks. There is a small selection of toasted sandwiches / salad's available for lunch. Breakfast was a highlight with traditional Calabrian fare as well as the option for eggs / omelettes etc housed in a beautiful outdoor setting. The service was excellent - the property is family owned and you can see the care and attention & pride they put into their customers and work. We highly recommend this hotel for the serenity and relaxation, balanced by the access to the wonderful town of Tropea.

A couple of things to note that maybe useful - none of which affected our experience too negatively largely due to the boutique nature of the hotel. There's no laundry service, so if you need to wash clothes, bring some laundry powder! The resort is just outside Tropea and not practically walkable (no paths and quite hilly) - as we didn't have a car, we had to get a taxi to Tropea each night for dinner - dinner not available at the hotel (budget 5 Euro per person each way - no shuttle provided)

The location of the hotel was away from the city but close enough to take a taxi. We did have a car and there was no issue coming and going. They have an amazing pool area that was comfortable and calming. The grounds were lovely and the rooms were cozy and modern. The breakfast was fantastic with a great assortment of specially prepared foods, pastries, and fruits. Eating under the arbors was quite relaxing and a great way to start a day. Manuel and Frederica and the whole staff made us feel like family rather than guests. e truly enjoyed our stay and will recommend Il Borghetto Romano Creative resort to all our friends and family. Great place and thank you for making this part of our trip so special. Joe and Teresa Guido David and Rosanne Schiavone

There could have been a small end table next to the bed for personal items. Otherwise, it was wonderful.

Il Borghetto Creative is simply amazing! It far surpassed my expectation, the photos don't do the beauty of this hotel justice. The boutique hotel is a family run business and you feel that in the best way possible. The customer service, attention to detail and delicious food make you feel so at home that we did not want to leave. They also have one of the nicest pools I've seen. We loved that it was quiet and secluded. However, I would recommend renting a car for your stay if you wish to visit the beach town for dinners in the evening, as it would be a far walk.

Nothing.

Il Borghetto is absolutely fantastic! From the moment you enter reception to be greeted by always-smiling Manuel, to the moment you check out, your stay here is sure to be amazing. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate, and so colourful and beautiful. The rooms are very tastefully furnished, and impeccably clean. It is a pleasure to walk into your room each time. The pool and poolside bar are so lovely, with an atmosphere of pure relaxation. And the breakfast - wow. Everything is home-made and prepared on-site by a team of lovely ladies and is delicious. The breakfast room is outdoors on a picturesque shaded terrace space in the garden and is the perfect way to start your day. It is not too far to walk to walk into the main part of the town, around 10-15 minutes. We really hope to come to Tropea again and Il Borghetto will be the only hotel we stay. Thank you Manuel and team, you are amazing!

Nothing - everything was perfect.

Everything! This is one of the loveliest boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. The pictures, website etc do not do this property justice. Our room was lovely, exceptionally clean, the bathroom was stunning, had everything you could need. Very comfortable and would happily come here again. The hotel is relatively new, but built around the former home of the owner and his family’s grandmother. This is the whole vibe - family owned property, family run, great Italian family cooked breakfast. The grounds are simply beautiful, the “green” ethos to be celebrated. Please come and see for yourself!

Absolutely nothing!!!

We loved the hotel grounds and gardens. The room was spacious, airy and stylishly furnished with a fabulous large terrace overlooking the pool and, in the distance, the sea. Breakfast was great with lots of freshly baked pastries and served in the gardens. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Loved relaxing around the pool area. The hotel is small and so never feels busy.

It would have been nice to have had the option to eat at the property but the town is only a 15 minute walk away, with lots of options there, and the hotel was kind enough to recommended restaurants to try.

The breakfast was the least satisfactory aspect, but this is not uncommon in Italy. There was limited choice, often little fruit and anything cooked cost extra, which is franly mean.

Our room was somewhat disappointing. It was described as a junior suite with private pool. This turned out to be a large sunken jacuzzi in the middle of the room. We only used it to shower and, had we known, a superior room with sea view and balcony would have been better and cheaper.

This is lovely family run hotel and you can tell the staff really care. They were so welcoming and friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The resort was so tranquil, it often felt like you were on your own! If you like peace and quiet then this is the place for you! The rooms were beautiful, clean and modern and the grounds were outstanding. Amazing pool!

It was a fair walk into Tropea Centre. We spent quite a lot on taxis to and from but this is no criticism of the hotel! If you have a car or a scooter then no issues!

Really cute rooms which were super clean, amazing pool facilities and great service all day long. You can really see passion that went into the design of the hotel. The breakfast area is amazing and the breakfast itself feels like real Italien breaky. It’s outstanding that this property does a lot for sustainability.

The space to place the bathing towls/suits was a little to small when you have many things to dry and the bathroom might be little noisy as there is not „proper“ door. But this didn’t bother us.
