Great place if visiting Tropea

It is a great, comfy little home a 5-minute drive from Tropea Beach. Paolo was great to deal with and replied to any questions promptly. The AC and the hot tub worked great.

AMAZING VIEWS OF STROMBOLI! Rustic accomodations and charming cottage. Note that this house is not isolated as it has very nice neighbors. PARKING is in a gated street alongside the property, very safe but only fits small cars. This property is in Parghelia 5 min drive to Tropea city center which is super convenient.

This property was a 5-10 minute drive to Tropea. Very convenient for seeing the city and yet quiet with beautiful view of the sea and Stromboli volcano. Hot tub was an added bonus which we enjoyed at the end of each day. Hosts were responsive, beds were comfortable and WiFi excellent. The furnishings were somewhat dated and a flight of steep stairs to the upstairs bedrooms , but worth the effort because of the beautiful view from a small walkout balcony. Road to the house is narrow and you must cross a narrow bridge that wouldn’t accommodate a large car. We folded in the mirrors and our Fiat had no problem. Nice patio and quiet location. Would have been a 5 if not for the dated furnishings and narrow road. Parking on site was nice. Would give this a 4.5 rating if I could

Excellent vacation home

We stayed in Pastore Serafino for one week and it could not have been more perfect. The home has a beautiful view and is very private. It is well stocked and had enough space - both indoors and outdoors - to ensure each person's individual comfort while providing excellent common spaces for entertainment and socializing. Paolo was very accommodating and easy to communicate with - he helped us tremendously with his familiarity with Tropea and the surrounding towns, and even helped transport our party's baggage between the train station. I would highly recommend staying at Pastore Serafino - it is one of the best holiday experiences I've ever had.

Paolo’s home is a charming old world Italian vacation home, with an amazing garden & view of the Mediterranean! Paolo gave us detailed information about the home & check-in/out was simple. The home is in the hills above Tropea’s harbor, so it is not bothered by the heavy tourist crowds & noise. There is a very narrow bridge to cross, just before you reach the home. If you are not comfortable crossing the bridge, there is a place to park before it and it is a short easy 2 minute walk to the home (75 meters).

Le lieu est paradisiaque avec la vue du centre historique de Tropea, de la mer et lorsque le temps le permet nous pouvons voir le volcan Stromboli.Le jardin est un plus qui nous permet de prolonger les. belles soirées et d’admirer la vue de Tropea. La maison est bien équipée pour cuisiner et les espaces sont assez spacieux.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem Haus. Der Ausblick ist grandios, der Außenbereich des Hauses großzügig und mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten ausgestattet. Man benötigt ein Auto – die Straßen um das Haus herum sind nicht für Fußgänger:innen ausgelegt. Wir haben uns dann ein Auto gemietet und alles war easy.

Une vue magnifique depuis cette charmante maison authentique sur les hauteurs de Tropea. La maison est très bien équipée et protégée au fond d’une allée. Access très rapide à Tropea et aux plages de la région. Super accueil, nous reviendrons.
