When we arrived in Tropea, we were sharply disappointed in the other lodging we had reserved and paid for. We considered leaving. But walking through the village and down onto the beach, we came across Le Roccette and were thrilled to find an apartment available. Now here's the good part--the cost was LESS THAN HALF what we paid for the disappointing place we'd left. And the facility was nicer far beyond what we hoped for! The Le Roccette apartment was clean, sunny, private, and quiet. We had access to the private beach with umbrella and chairs. We had our own private terrace AND balcony with marvelous views on all sides. We had a small but lovely kitchen and nice, roomy bathroom. The landscaping and and plantings are exquisitely beautiful. We enjoyed all of it. We stayed for 8 days and loved every minute. We walked up to the village every day and took several day trips from Tropea. Every time we returned, we counted our blessings on finding such an idyllic place. Our hosts Danielle and Anuncio were considerate and helpful and made us feel welcome and cared for. There are several restaurants only steps away, but we shopped at the little markets just around the corner and cooked our own meals and ate on our own terrace. For us, Le Roccette San Leonardo is a little slice of heaven!

“Great beach, poor facilities”

Beach is top notch, people are warm and welcoming. The included breakfast was adequate and average. The facility is hopelessly outdated and in need of renovation. The landscaping in the area we stayed was not properly maintained, the steps to the reception area were dangerous (IMO) and there was mold all over the outdoor floor tiles. It appeared that an attempt had been made to clean it but was abandoned. The room itself was dark and smelled of humidity. The mattress was not comfortable and the overhead fan was so noisy that it was difficult to sleep. There was a shuttered window, but without a screen, the bugs eat you alive. Free internet was advertised but not available in room, you needed to travel to reception for good connectivity. There was a bar/buffet at the beach that closed at 9pm! Nothing in the hotel itself. At 80 euros a night I expect better. We stayed 2 nights.

“Gorgeous Beach, Mediocre Accomodations”

The complex itself has pretty surroundings, and its location is virtually on the beach, making it a nice place to stay.

The complex itself has pretty surroundings, and its location is virtually on the beach, making it a nice place to stay. However, the individual apartments need upgrading, and most of all air conditioning. Our family of four stayed at the beginning of August, and without even a fan in the room, it was impossible to sleep comfortably at night. If you left the windows open, the mosquitoes would eat you alive! Nonetheless, it can boast the most gorgeous beach in the world, and I guess that's what counts.
