Zambrone hotels

Pros: The best waiters ever! Elecrtic car beach transfer is great. Nice swimming pool. Large and well equipped room with vast balcony. Tasty food. Comfortable shower.

Cons: Fridge was broken and it took several days to repair. City tax is high and amount of city tax is not mentioned anywhere at booking.com. Staff speaks Englisk just a little. No children facilities, no playground - it has been closed. Before main season lots of facilities is unavailable. Prices for additional requests varies - different price on booking.com and different prices locally.

Pros: Comfortable and clean room. Balcony with sea view

Pros: The swimming pool and views were magnificent. Friendly staff and a nice room.

Pros: Everything was great. Great service, great accomodation, great food. This is how it should be done.

Pros: Very good location, close to the Paradiso del Sub beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of Calabria. We had very good breakfast, something extra every morning. Not to mention that the housekeeper came every day to clean our room. Would go back again.

Cons: -

Pros: Great residence with small little houses in a beautiful landscaped garden or on the hill with sea view (they also have a hotel). Ours was on the hill and had a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. However, we did not use the kitchen to cook as there is a nice restaurant at the hotel (near the beach) and nice restaurants in the neighborhood. The breakfast is good as well and they can accommodate a gluten-free dieet. The beach is lovely with chairs and umbrellas and there is also a swimming pool with chairs and umbrellas. The staff is really friendly. We loved our relaxing stay.

Cons: Sqeeky bed. Shower curtain did not do its job so everything got wet.

Pros: Park oasi was a lot of fun for the family. Ivan the manager was so friendly & helpful. The grounds were lovely, pool was amazing & right on the beach. The buffet breakfast had a good selection of fruit, cereal, bread, meats etc. Bar is open during the day for snacks which was good with kids. Staff didn’t speak much English which was difficult at times but the place has a nice atmosphere. It’s very quiet & remote but only 10 min walk from train. I would recommend having a car to explore the area. Beach is pebbly so recommend bringing beach shoes if you’re planning to swim as it’s a little uncomfortable walking in & out. Our 2 bd apartment was a good size.

Cons: We didn’t get much sleep as beds were hard & uncomfortable. Could do with more kitchen utensils & dish cloth & towel.

Pros: Birds twitter in the morning, greenery around, facing see and sunset

Cons: Minibar in a rooms, cutlery at least.

Pros: Excellent food at the restaurant at a fair price. We stayed at a junior suite which was all new and comfortable, 200 m up the hill. Kids loved the shuttle service to the beach with a golf car. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There was also entertainment for kids

Cons: Reception wasn’t easy to find since it’s next to the beach apartments, also our GPS couldn’t locate the hotel because it’s on a private road.

Pros: The Hotel is a Family run hotel. Very warm experience with the owners constantly present to watch over and make sure all is well. We also had lunch twice there and the fish was great. The hotel is overlooking it's own private beach, white sand and crystal clear blue waters. You might feel you are on a tropical island. Enjoy!

Pros: Lovely pool area and not too far from the beach. The restaurant was not open while we were there but the young gentleman working the desk that night suggested somewhere we could go.

Cons: Overall good but staff could be a little more friendly.

Pros: Location is absolutely fabulous, only 2-3 minutes from the beach. Staff is very nice and helpful. The whole place is built out and furnished like a small mediterranean Paradise with wonderful plants, trees and flowers. For Littels there are several playgrounds equiped and continous animation is ensured. We will go back.

Pros: The decoration of the room was great. Everything was so cozy. The host was so firendly, recommending us places to visit.

Pros: Beautiful gardens. Lovely pool area with comfortable chairs and shade for the kids. Food was delicious and a high standard. Close to Zambrone train station so easy travel to Tropea. Beach clean with crystal clear water.

Cons: No kids menu in the restaurant and no pizza even though their sign said Pizzeria. Apartment quite small for 5 people. Charged for everyday you use the beach chairs and parasol which I feel should be included in the cost of your stay.

Pros: Reception, room, restaurant, swimming pool, beach all a stone’s throw away from each other. Felt safe as houses there. Most families from Euroland so friendly atmosphere. Could monitor kids easily. Decent food. Complaints were resolved amicably. Lovely views with beautiful mountains behind and calm sea in front. Train 15 minute walk away (uphill!) Room well cleaned. Ok value for money.

Cons: Paid full board but had to pay extra to sit outside for meals - no coffee included for lunch or dinner (but staff had their own coffee machine!)... grrr... No kids entertainment end of May - starts in June. Could do with a shop on site to sell basic goods. “5 a side football pitch” for dwarves. “Hydro massage area” did not exist. Children’s play area needs updating. All small issues that would otherwise make this a truly great hotel.

Pros: Everything is on site in case you don't want to live the facility.

Pros: Near the beach, airco, free parking, family environment. Tropea only 8km nearby. The grocery shop inside the structure.

Cons: Apartments could be more cleaner.

Pros: Loved this place. It is perfect for a family holiday. Located right on a huge beach ( crystal clear water, but pebbled so make sure you have the right shoes), easily accessible, apartments have everything you need when travelling with a child. They have a restaurant, a beach bar and a market so you can manage locally. For those without kids, it is close to the Spiaggia Il Paraiso del Sub ( where it`s difficult to go with kids) which is absolutely amazing.

Pros: Hotel is a property of Picollo family. Everybody from the family works there. Extremely kind and helpfully. The beach near by is even better then Tropea. Extremely clean and the manager is Alessandro the owner, is very nice and kind.

Cons: Hotel is 1km from Tropea city center, but they have a complimentary shuttle service

Pros: Big room in great condition, hot tub and jacuzzi on the roof with a bar, open even at midnight on returning from town. Staff were friendly and helpful with great restaurant suggestions. Definitely recommend.

Pros: Hotel Piccolo has lovely views looking over the sea and Tropea. The hotel is spotlessly clean, our room was modern and spacious. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast at the hotel was very good with plenty of choice. We walked into Tropea it took half an hour, which we liked, but there is a free shuttle bus into Tropea from the hotel which you could book throughout the day and night. We used this a couple nights after evenings in Tropea, recommend this hotel. We will return.

Pros: The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and the entire complex was clean. We only ate dinner at the restaurant on the first night as we only ordered the breakfast package, but the meal was delicious.

Pros: I loved having breakfast outside of our room on the private terrace. Our host suggested fantastic restaurants and was very helpful in planning our stay.

Pros: Great layout of rooms and a good outside terrace. Breakfast best so far on our road trip round Italy. Great pool and pool bar with decent prices

Cons: TV controls were restricted. Couldn't get into menu to change brightness etc

Pros: Location, comfort , excellent breakfast, services.

Cons: Everything perfectly done

Pros: Super friendly staff, great food at breakfast and at restaurant for dinner. Nice pool very clean. Nice beach.

Pros: Hotel situated about 2 from Tropea. A gorgeous old town. hotel shuttle could take you in the evening and bring you back to hotel. A quiet hotel, ideal for couples, good breakfast . Friendly staff

Pros: location good. Rooms could use upgrade.

Cons:

Pros: Comfy bed, good food, good resort style pool, beach at your doorstep. The wait staff, in particular mode Silvia, were wonderful! Cleaning ladies were great.

Cons: Our room was right at the front of the resort on the hilltop facing the car park and a derelict building which was quite unattractive and not pleasant to view at night. Our room smelt of sewers, extremely unpleasant complained immediately but nothing was done until our last night. Was not offered to move rooms. Reception staff were grumpy and rude each time we walked in making us feel uncomfortable. Tiny tv from the 80s, tiny shower with concertina doors which fell apart upon closing.

Pros: Good location- you can go to Tropea or Parghelia and profite from the both places, you can choose between wild or organised beaches. The location is very calm. The stuff in the hotel is very nice and smiling.

Pros: Friendly staff provided good local info. Excellent view from the pool, very clean, underground parking, good breakfast buffet. Spacious room with balcony and view of the lovely garden. Food at nearby restaurant was good. Shuttle bus and discounted beds at closest Lido were a bonus.

Cons: The location just outside town does mean you have a pool with a wonderful view but also either driving, taxi or substantial walk to the historic centre. We choose to walk into town with our double-buggy which was very good exercise as quite hilly. There is beach in walking distance with free shuttle and a nice restaurant a few doors down so we still liked the location.

Pros: Nice hotel a little outside Tropea, with very nice pool area, roms fine and with terrace. Sweet and helpful hosts.

Cons: Noting

Pros: Great place to stay, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, pool and sun lounger area is great with an amazing view. We had a self catering apartment which had the basics to make breakfast and lunch with a good space on the balcony. Only a 10 minute walk to the beach, it is downhill so be prepared for the walk back. We also walked into Tropea most evenings for dinner, an amazing town up on the hill with good food to be found in amongst the pretty roads and alleys. Again be prepared for the walk, I guess 20 minutes, downhill from Porto Ulisse then up a long set of stairs set into the hillside. The little market/restaurant a couple of doors up has some great cheese and local meats, had some good seafood at the restaurant too. Overall highly recommended for chilling out with a pool whilst still being able to access Tropea easily.

Cons: Slightly dated in some room decor but that doesn't detract from the whole experience. We weren't there to spend time in our room, the rest of the facility is great.

Pros: All the amenities:). Nice to have a hot tub, pool, kitchen, balcony patio etc... was great:)

Pros: We loved the continental breakfast which is a rare thing in Italy. The pool area is very nice with wonderful views from above over the sea shore and the nearby city of Tropea. The Residence has a beach shuttle for those who don't want to walk, but the beach is easily reachable on foot (10-15 minute walk) if you don't want to wait for the shuttle's. We spent a week there at the end of September and the weather was absolutely wonderful, warm enough for going to the beach, but not extremely hot, and the sea water was perfect for bathing or swimming. Thank you Porto Ulisse and Tropea for one of the nicest holidays we ever had!

Pros: The staff were excellent and attentive. Lovely pool and hot tub. Hotel was clean. Excellent location with beautiful views. Great value for money and would absolutely return again.

Pros: The pool area was very nice, even though The pool was not so big. Garage good, but narrow turns to go there. Personnel very nice.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Bedroom Plaster falling off wall onto bedside cupboard next to bed Bed cover stained Mattress extremely hard Dirty cot in room Bedside drawers won’t open as wardrobe in way. Lumpy pillows two only Air con turns on but doesn’t cool Only one curtain on bedroom window Bathroom mould on walls Shower doors broken Towels with holes Kitchen/lounge No kettle No microwave No washing up liquid No tea towels/dishcloth Limited cutlery and crockery Eg two teaspoons and three forks for four person apartment Oven dirty Sofa bed very uncomfortable as sofa, cover stained, no pillows, two small stained cushions. Complex Wedged between road and active train tracks, noise from both Weeds growing in paving all around pool Half way up mountain, several kilometres from beach Beach not accessible on foot, advertised as “beachfront“ Breakfast advertised at €5 but owner charges €7.50 Wifi doesn’t work Washing machine doesn’t drain or spin Lightning very poor Insects in apartment Had to leave early and lost money as we could not bear it any longer

Pros: Pool, secure access.

Cons: Kitchen was somewhat sparsely equipped for a self catering facility. Other than that, the place is great for a quiet stay.

Pros: location was good . pool area was lovely and surrounding gardens

Cons: a fire broke out in the trees near by and we were evacuated for a few hours late evening

Pros: Everything was beyond our expectation. The pool was wonderful. The staff were very helpful. The owner is the best reason to go there. Even gave us a ride in the morning to our next destination. The town of parmeghlia was a 20 minute walk and was quaint and had everything we needed. Grocery store bars etc. Pepe’s bar was great and the staff very friendly. Have a negroni

Cons: Loved everything

Pros: Great location! Pool was lovely.

Cons: Clean towels and a mop would have nice. Cooking utensils were not clean.

Pros: All was very nice, pleasant staff, flexible with breakfast time as we had to leave early, we had apartment 6 which was on its own in the vineyard and orange orchard. Great swimming pool with music. Room was clean, and we slept very well each night. Security is of a very high standard from the car entrance system to the accommodation door..

Cons: Nothing really, the whole experience for us was very positive.

Pros: Beautiful garden and pool

Pros: Location and surroundings

Cons: Sheets and towels were not changed

Pros: It was good value for the money, nice clean room

Cons: On booking was written "in the hills of Parghelia", but it was in the mountain. Wi-Fi was not good. For 2 days there was no internet and when we asked for the employed to please restart the rooter, the explanation was that she had internet and she wont restart. And afterwards she came to our room to tell us that there is no internet "because of the sun" (?!)

Pros: High recommendation

Pros: Quite place, nice sea food out of the zones plenty of turists..the family business..takes care of the customers once per once..they cooked for me the calabria's food and everything i prefered. Excellent if u wanna relax in the true means of the word
