Small friendly hotel. 15 minutes walk from beach.

Visited in low season, but service was fantastic. Staff so friendly and helpful. Loved the breakfasts, the produce was home produced, and the fruit was from the garden. Loved the custard apples! Evening meals were at their restaurant down the road because it was low season, but lifts were readily offered. Restaurant very good, fresh fish featuring. Lovely bubbly house white wine. Room was clean and fresh, with a smart newly renovated bathroom. Very pleased over all.

Equipe do hotel nota 1000!

Este hotel superou as minhas expectativas :)) Tudo lindo, mto bem cuidado. Café da manhã bem servido, buffet com diversas opções, inclusive salgado, além do classico corneto. Chegamos de trem e o transfer ( Inacio) jà estava nos esperando na estação. O serviço de transfer é gratuito e nos leva até a praia. Chegamos no hotel e fomos recepcionados com um drink (um suco delicioso) e salgadinhos e a recepcionista sentou na mesa para nos dar todas as informações. Todos os funcionarios do hotel são super simpáticos e disponíveis! A praia é lindíssima e ainda fica somente à 10min de trem para Troppea. Super recomendo!!

Great staff and great food!

We loved our one week stay at La Bussola in July 2017. We stayed as a familiy with two small children, and felt so welcome our hole stay. The staff is sweet and helpful. When we had a misunderstanding about our food order at dinner, they were very flexible and made up for everything. The childred loved the pool and playground. We liked the beach at Tropea better then the one close by (free shuttle bus) , so we drove there ourself. The food at the hotel was really good, we ate here every night. What could be better? Well, the shower teperature is really unstable (everywhere in italy?). And I would like some more vegetables for the breakfast. We had a really good time, and hope to come back again some other time!
