Family-friendly holiday rentals in Contrada Difesa II

The accommodation was very bright, clean and equipped with great air conditioning, so perfect for the summer.☀️ Francesco is a great host. He picked us up from the airport and took us there and he drove us around the area for a whole day, we were on fantastic beaches and we had a good time with one or the other ice cream.😊 We didn't turn down the offer to go kiting with him, and it was a great experience.🌊 Overall, we liked it very much and we can only recommend the accommodation. We will be happy to come back.🤗

Apartment on the mezzanine floor in an area full of plants, flowers, swimming pool and relaxation area. Very well maintained and equipped with everything for cooking. Terrace for dining outside. The owner Ms. Ivana is very helpful and friendly. The house allows you to walk to the most beautiful beaches in Tropea. Recommended.

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.

The house is very welcoming and for those who like tranquility it is ideal, it was possible to take an excursion on the Sila, which I recommend. I thank Arcangelo and his family very much for the beautiful welcome. I will definitely be back.

We had an amazing time at Marasusa. The view from the garden and pool is wonderfull and we enjoyed spending time at the pool and watching stars from the terrasse. The apartment was clean and basic, some equipment needs to be renewed but all in all a great stay to explore the beautiful beaches and places in Kalabria.

I absolutely loved this stay! The location was perfect—peaceful and very close to beautiful beaches. The host was so kind and welcoming, and everything felt easy and comfortable. I truly wish I had stayed longer. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The Villa was perfect for our holiday. The villa was spacious with large bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen. The view over Tropea and Stromboli was amazing. The outside space had lots of room for our family and the pool was loved by our kids. It was a short walk down to the shops and the excellent vegetable and fish market and a further 5-10 minutes into the centre of Tropea and the beaches. Tropea was amazing, the beaches are beautiful and the water is crystal clear. Even in the end of October the water was warm and we had hot weather. Snorkelling and exploring the sea caves was a highlight of our trip. Salvatore's restaurant recommendations were fabulous, as were the local food & produce. We highly recommend the villa and Tropea. Salvatore and his family were excellent hosts providing us with help, advice and a welcoming stay.

Excellent stay! Would highly recommend to anyone coming to visit.

Carmela was helpful and very attentive, a property with a lovely garden. Our studio apartment had a terrace from which you could see the sea. The location of her apartment is truly strategic, allowing you to move around easily and reach both the beautiful city of Tropea and the various beaches around.

Very nice apartment, set in the context of a residence but very independent, wonderful terrace with sea view equipped with pergola and table with lounge chairs and chairs and outdoor kitchen. The apartment was very clean and well equipped, outdoor shower in the common area of the residence that can be used freely. The spaces were well cared for, the host was very helpful and treated us really well. Beautiful stay!

Luca was very friendly and helpful with finding the place since our maps brought us to another location, he even let us in early to get ready for the wedding that evening. The place was clean and quiet which was exactly what we needed

Beautiful and quiet place in the center of a charming town. Amazing beach nearby. We'll be back.

Luigi met us at check in. He did not speak English, but it worked. We had absolute privacy and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. We were greeted by birds every morning and a view to the sea. Unfortunately for us, many restaurants were closed for the season. However we were able to get into two with reservation. The apartment is located well next to the main piazza and parking in front of the building was easy. We stayed four nights with no regrets.

Wonderful location - private, serene, and gorgeous. Philip and Antonia were lovely hosts, they took care to provide lots of recommendations and explain the house. The house itself is beautiful and had all the necessities for us to stay in and cook for the week, especially using the sweet local red onions! The view is incredible and the private beach was our daily exercise - we loved it! We'll be back!

The appartment was exactly as in the pictures. Very clean, at a walkable distance from everything (downtown, beaches, restaruants, supermarket). Very spacious and I had everything I need for my stay at Tropea. The host was very friendly and proactive. I travel a lot with my dog and this was the frist time when I received the number of the local vet. If I return to Tropea, I will definitely choose to stay here.

My friend and I arrived by train, and Vittoria picked us up in the car and took us straight to the house. The house matched Vittoria's descriptions and we had a great time. Vittoria is very kind and helpful, she welcomed us in a friendly way and was always available for anything. He also gave us various tips on where and what to visit and even advised us to rent a scooter for getting around, as the area is quite hilly and not flat. We were close to the sea and the beaches were just a short scooter ride away. Impeccable view from the house, you are surrounded by nature. There is also a swimming pool and a bar. It was really fantastic, Vittoria really welcomed us as if we were at home. Highly recommended for those who want to stay in Ricadi.

Annelis house is close to the beach and offers a marvelous view over the sea. Anneli is great and generous, she allowed as a really late checkout. Communication with her was absolutely easy and she always answered very fast. Since she wasn't around we were taken care of by Loraine who is lovely and who gave us a lot of useful informations. The house itself is enough big for a family with 4kids, the beds a comfortable and the kitchen offers everything you need. Off-season you have to drive a little bit to the next supermarket since there are not many people in the area, but on the other hand we were almost alone at the beach and that was worth it. We loved to be there and are hoping to come again soon.

The property is an agriturismo on a high quality olive farm. We really enjoyed the tour that Anita gave us and we learned a lot about the production of good olive oil. The house is a simple, nicely done property with a lovely pool. The nearby Ionia coast is lovely. We were doing a long cycle trip - it’s preferable to have a car for this location as you’ll need to shop and there’s nothing nearby.

Great well maintained structure, great location to quickly reach the necessary amenities and beaches. Only note that the mattresses were not comfortable. Overall we had a great time and the pool is an added value when you don't want to move around by car.

We really enjoyed the time at the place. Purposefully furnished, everything you need. Close to the sea, really great and very clean water at the end of May before the season. A restaurant within walking distance, the pizza there is great, but also the fish dishes. From 01.06, there is also a bar on the beach and on weekends the Jugaad Lounge is very cozy. The fact that we were right at the entrance gate of the house did not bother us. There are loungers and a beach umbrella. If you take the umbrella stand to the beach, nothing will fly away. There are great gelaterias and restaurants in Davoli max 10 min by car. We had perfect 7 days and only missed the pool a little, which should have been filled on 06/01. The people there and the fantastic landscape made up for it. ;-)

Francesco and Guido welcomed us warmly and made sure our stay went smoothly. We stayed 17 nights in August. The place is beautiful, very well cared for and very peaceful. A place of other times cared for with extreme taste. The house has a beautiful patio where you can have nice dinners and the pool is a fantastic space when you want to relax. The sea is very close and offers a wide free beach (no amenities), but if you want to find equipped spaces nearby. To reach the house there is a dirt road to travel carefully, but absolutely feasible.

Highly recommended for people who expect privacy. It’s a modest but Clean and comfortable apartment. All things in descrption were found inside although it takes a bit time to guess for example how to turn on THE washing machine ,THE oven or warm Water. Instructions from Valentina are however clean. You can chill outside with beautiful view of perfectly maintained garden and sea view . THE biggest plus is also Access to beautiful pool, water is clean and its pretty big, circa 18 metres of length. Valentina is very caring person and despite not being present in Calabria , she gives all details about check in, house rules , places to visit, where to eat or buy local cheese. That was very helpful for us and I’m sure without her tips we would be unaware of many things around.

Fell in love with the apartment especially the rooftop terrace where I had cuppa to watch sunrise each morning.Views great.Only downside had only 1 bar/restaurant that catered for Italians on their 2 weeks holidays.we couldn't get a seat or takeaway pizza.You need a hire car to get to shops but Short drive from airport and Pizzo.Its well worth a visit and The apartment has everything you need.We will be back and Alan and wife are great.
