Apartment holiday rentals in Contrada Difesa II

Beautiful apartment in the heart of Tropea. Wonderful, helpful host. I would most definitely return!

We had a short but very nice stay in Tropea. The place was nice and clean as well as within walking distance of a supermarket, the city centre and a remote part of the beach. All in all very recommendable!

I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed staying at this apartment! It felt like being at home, a little slice of heaven right in the heart of Tropea within steps of one of the most beautiful beaches, with balconies all around the apartment overlooking the water, the street life and cafes, the best gelato and capuccino right underneath us at Tonnino's and with everything we could possibly need inside including a washer and drier which was so helpful with 2 kids! We were welcomed by Tiziana as guests when we arrived but by the end of our stay we felt as though we left as friends. She was always available within seconds for every need or question. Don't hesitate to book this apartment, you wont regret it!

Giuseppe was an amazing host. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. Giuseppe went out of his way to send through a list of recommended attractions in the area as well as how to get to and from the accommodation. Any question I had, he was quick to respond. I felt at home at the accommodation, and loved Tropea.

Natascia is excellent host, kind, precautionary, punctual. The apartment is located just few steps away from the central of Tropea with a lot of restaurants, bakeries, grocery. The accomodation has everything needed - for cooking, laundry, cleaning even a sunshade was available. I can highly recommend Natascia and her apartment!!

Excellent apartment at the top of the town..well positioned for restaurants and shops. Clean and well equipped..Good shower and strong AC..comfortable bed and when we found the hair dryer was defective they managed to replace it right away. Would highly recommend and would stay here again

We were in the area for 3 days researching our Southern Italian family roots. From the location close to the tiny towns in the mountains to the sea, it was perfectly situated between both. There was coffee and goodies for a light breakfast - and a nice balcony porch to enjoy the morning and evenings. We definitely will stay here on any future visits.

We spent only one night in Palermo to take a break between Sicily and Naples. Great choice. Antonio's house is really great, everything is perfect and modern and quality. Very comfortable, we slept like kings. And as a bonus, Mr. Antonio is super nice! We would like him to be our neighbor. Thank you for your welcome Antonio, it was a great meeting.

Francesco's place in located in a relatively quiet place (gets quite noisy on the weekends, including loud music at the pool in the afternoon). Our kids loved the big pool! We went in the mornings, when it wasn't crowded. We also liked the beach a lot, we went in the evening, when it was quiet and the sunsets were amazing. To access the gym, one needs a key, which I was told, they only give to owners, not guests. Francesco was very kind and found a solution, so that my husband could use it. For me, a runner, the only downside of the location is no paths to run on and roads with no side. Otherwise, we loved the place! The apartment itself was small but more than enough for the 4 of us. My only complaint could be it wasn't supe clean and the kitchen equipment was quite basic (no bread knife or toaster). The air-con was great :) Francesco was always available for questions via messages and replied swiftly. All in all, I would definitely recommend the place! Thank you, Francesco :)

A pleasant stay with a pleasant view from the terrace of the sun rising from the sea and the greenhouses on the opposite side that pays largely for the third floor without an elevator. Mariangela was courteous and hospitable, providing us with all the useful information to our particular interest regarding the history of Byzantine Calabria.

Vincenzo was super nice, picked us up from the train station and took us there on departure. He explained the area very well on the way to the apartment, so we quickly found our way around. The apartment is well equipped. We enjoyed our breakfast every morning on the balcony with sea view.

Altea’s apartment is perfectly located close to both the main strip in the historic centre and the beachfront. The apartment itself is very quaint and the design mirrors the beachside lifestyle. The walls absorb heat particularly well and the apartment is fixed with a strong air conditioner, so it would make for a great summer stay. Altea is a very friendly and responsive host who was very accommodating with check in. There is minimal reception in the apartment and the wifi can be a little patchy so do keep this in mind, but you should feel confident that you will have a proper Tropean experience at Altea’s lovely apartment!

We had a great time. The apartment is very well equipped. Mario and Natalia welcomed us very warmly. There was extra cake and limoncello, both very delicious. Also, the fridge was filled with milk and juice, coffee capsules, water and tea as well as jam, everything was available. The beach is great. We didn't do much else. Snorkeling there was awesome.

We stayed in this fantastic apartment for two days. We had a great time, very clean apartment, equipped with all comforts (air conditioning, washing machine, large bathroom, iron). Apartment not very large but with an excellent terrace, well-equipped kitchen area and equipped with everything you need for breakfast and lunch. Very convenient parking and the sea is just a stone's throw away. Great experience.

What an incredible experience to stay on the cliffs of Tropea! We’ll be back…

This is an absolute gem of an air BnB. We stayed for a long weekend and the town is amazing. The flat is located in a small quaint square above a beautiful restaurant and it is literally in the middle of the town whilst being private. Tropea is a beautiful old town with delicious food, friendly locals and a stunning beach. Aurora and Guiseppe were very helpful and accommodating and we used google translate to bridge the language gap. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a quiet stunning beach holiday with amazing food. Thank you so much Aurora and Guiseppe!!

We stayed in Helen's apartment for 10 days. Wonderful view! Spacious and livable apartment for 4 people. A well-maintained garden and enchanting pool. A place of great relaxation for our holidays.

Massimo is a very welcoming host. He made sure that we had everything we needed. The Appartement is small but contains everything you need for cooking and was super clean. The area is very beautiful and the forests are serene. It is the perfect spot for going on hikes and longer daytrips. We had a great stay!

Teresa accommodated our last minute request to stay. She was very responsive. She met us and showed us around. Gave excellent recommendations. Her place was very clean and fresh feeling. We would definitely return if we visit that part if Italy again. Perfect location between many great areas.

Ondine is an absolutely pleasant host. The communication before our Journey to Capo Vaticano was great. We‘ve got all the Information in advance. We are also very grateful for recommendations in the „House Book“, we could visit a lot of places of beautiful Calabria. We also want to thank the property Manager Jack (Giacomo), he met us at the Apartment and was always available for every question. We were very happy with the House (Family of 5). Villa Sirena has everything you need for enjoyable stay: comfortable beds (!), air conditions in every room, laundry. We also enjoyed a beatiful view from a spacious Terrace. To the sea is about 3 Minutes by car. The Beach (Groticelle) is one of the most beautiful places we‘ve been. We thank Ondine for our restful stay in Villa Sirena and can absolutely recommend the house . Natallia & Family.

Stayed for 2 nights with another couple. Super close to the city center with lots of shops and restaurants! Beautiful view of the sea, beaches and castle. And of course, this place is so Cool inside! Only thing I would say was I wish the keys were labeled so we could know which one was which for each of the 3 doors to get inside and outside. It was a bit loud from people down below on the street in the middle of the nights, so keep windows shut. But overall great stay! Would stay again.

Very beautiful place, I would definitely go back, my wife and kids loved it. Everyone is super friendly. Tip: Stair master to prepare for the hike down the 200 plus steps to get to the beautiful beach and back up when you’re done (which we did and made a huge difference).

The apartment is perfect, with an outdoor pool. Great for family vacations and not.

A wonderful place...we highly recommend it!
