Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Calabria

Pasquale was really very friendly and accommodating. He answered every question right away and was able to help us with any concerns. Check-in & check-out was straightforward and the proximity of the beach was really the highlight for us. You should know that the accommodation is more suitable for two people and offers a little little space for three (and not enough cutlery, chairs, etc.) but for both of us it was more than sufficient. The water was great, wifi worked great, everything important was nearby (shopping, pharmacy, ..). The only desirable would be air conditioning, as the ceiling fan may not be sufficient for the people who are not accustomed to the climate. We would come back any time and really enjoyed our time in Tropea at Pasquale.

The place was incredible, it was charming and cozy apartment in Tropea. Giulia was always helpful and proactive, I definitely will return to her apartment in the future.

Very clean and cozy apartment with all the essentials. Strategic location to reach Capo Vaticano and Tropea in max 10-15 Min with our motorcycle. Luca is an always present host, available and ready to solve any problem. Excellent experience

Really nice spot. Simple, clean and right at the (almost private) beach. Fresh agricultural produce by roadside farmers 4 minutes by car. Roger is usually closeby and always approachable for questions and help.

Dear Rosa and Luciano, thank you first of all for the welcome. Your home exceeded expectations: spacious, "warm", well organized, equipped with everything you need during a fairly long stay like ours. It was always nice to return after a long day spent between the coast and the territory of this beautiful part of Calabria. An authentic place, away from the "mad crowd", to be savored calmly. The same calm of this charming town, suspended on a landscape of great beauty, on which it is impossible not to linger over and over again from that magnificent terrace. Calm, as we know, sometimes broken unpredictably (only sore point), but by the same people (also of international origin...) with whom we then pleasantly met and entertained, in the sign of Calabrian hospitality beyond the clichés.

We had a great holiday. The apartment is perfectly situated in Tropea and the view from the balcony is second to none. Everything was close and there was enough space for all of us. Thank you for hosting us.

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.

Antonella is a great host. As my wife and I arrived in Civita, Antonella was waiting for us in the main square and, after we met, brought us to her place (we drove there following her car, don’t trust Google Maps). The room we stayed in is very spacious, and the balcony has table and chairs, from where I really enjoyed morning sunbathing while contemplating the amazing landscape. You can see, the whole village, the rocky cliff (timpa del diavolo), the Raganello gorge and the sea. Breakfast is served in a cozy room with one single table in the centre, so all b&b guests are sitting together and every morning I had some really nice conversations with other travellers. Antonella prepares breakfast with locally sourced ingredients, one day we were even served fresh ricotta cheese made by a local shepherd, so delicious!

idyllic mountain village surrounded by friendly Italian people. In winter it can get cold in the house, even if in the morning the sun is shining surrounded by lemon trees. We always had power outages. It was worth the trip. 🍋🌞🍊

Franco is great and friendly. 100% helpful. Good beds. The accommodation is close to the beach. Although we were here out of season, we experienced a lot and enjoyed the town and its surroundings.

We were guests of the Proff Filomena in the spring that blooms. Her home is nestled in a small fenced park where tall poplars and fruit trees coexist. Magnificent sunny days took us to discover the Park and a warm focherello welcomed us when we returned, along with the delicacies that our host had left us in the purest spirit of hospitality. The atmosphere is magical! Our enchanted dog, Cora, enjoyed the crutches left for her and enjoyed great protected freedom! The home is fully equipped for both short and long-term stays. Very clean and super welcoming. The location is enviable in every aspect and the knowledge of the territory of Filomena made us enjoy the short time we had budgeted, but we have already booked for the return trip for a longer stay. Filomena really offered us an enchanted world full of affection! Thanks and talk to you soon!

The apartment is small but comfortable.

We stayed on this space for 3 days. Was super clean. Giovanna showed us everything at check-in. We were in Scilla or on the ferry in Sicily within 10 minutes. If you walked down the street, you were right by the sea and could look over to Sicily. The only minor thing that bothered me was the motorists. The house is located on a curve, i.e. it is lifted from every direction. Especially in the morning from 8.00 am it was quite annoying, at other times it had not bothered us. I recommend the accommodation for a trip to Scilla or to come to Sicily.

Highly recommend. Large bedroom / office, great wifi, clean, safe, private, cleaning equipment. 5 minute walk into the center of the village.

We had a fantastic time in this house in this beautiful place in this beautiful area. Ivana is a great host and the contact with the family was nice. Ivana, thank you for everything! Trix and Yvonne

It was a nice stay with great, friendly hosts. The whole complex and apartment were well maintained and very clean. We have received many great recommendations from Noemi & Salvatore. Thanks again for that. Udo & Sabine

Beautiful to sleep with the sounds of the sea. Everything you need. Carlo was friendly and responsive. Nothing more to say :)

Absolutely recommend this lovely, spacious and spotless apartment! Would have gladly stayed for longer. Excellent value for money. The location was optimal - a five minute walk to the historic center, but away from the crowds and noise. All you really hear is birdsong and the occasional chatter from the neighbors. There are many grocery stores nearby, and a great pasticceria around the corner with the most delicious croissants. I felt very safe as a solo female traveller. The apartment remained pretty cool even on warm days. The AC unit is in the bedroom and worked great. From the bathroom window you'll see a sliver of the sea. And the cutest neighborhood cats! The bed does need to be changed as it caves in, however I slept quite well once I changed the high profile pillow to a lower one from the closet. This is the only downside to the apartment. I had the opportunity to meet and have a nice chat with Giovanni, who was the most courteous and lovely person. Grazie di cuore!

Franco's apartment was a very good decision. The apartment as described, Franco is a nice and very helpful person. he answered all the questions, recommended places to visit. I sincerely recommend staying with Franco when you are in Kalabri.

Perfect as a bonus the fruits

The view from the balcony was wonderful! The pictures of this apartment don’t do it justice. The balcony was big enough for two to enjoy coffee or wine. Really felt like a local but had enough restaurants around. Everything was walkable up and down hill. The apartment was not so big, but very comfortable for two. Can’t say much about how the kitchen worked, because who wants to cook when so much Italian food is at your doorstep? However, we were there the day many things closed down at the beginning of November. Still, we found good places to eat. Would recommend this apartment.

I travelled alone, the experience was very positive starting from the welcome. I met Monica, with whom I immediately had a feeling, attentive, present, she delighted my palate with excellent dishes based on fresh local fish. The accommodation is in a condominium that was formerly a fortress. I really appreciated the architecture and the view, two essential things for my short holiday. The accommodation was as I expected, as in the photos. Every object and piece of furniture told a story. For those who love the minimalist style, perhaps, they may not appreciate it, nothing was left to chance, everything was studied in detail. I would like to focus on the unparalleled panorama. I enjoyed both the small terrace and the larger one. From both you can admire the coast, the island of Dino and beyond. I found the peace and tranquility I needed. Experience to do again for sure!

It is in a beautiful area, very well located, just 10 minutes from the train station. It's the historic center, there's movement all the time. And 3 minutes away you have the stairs to go to the beach. The apartment is spacious, divided into two floors. On the first floor, there is the entrance hall and a bedroom. Upstairs, there is the bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and a sofa that becomes a bed. One consideration, the air conditioning is only on the top floor, so in our case, since it was so hot, we decided to sleep on the sofa and we were perfect this way. Definitely recommended!

Apartment 50m from the sea, tidy and bright. Fabulous area and in 10 minutes by car you have the opportunity to visit other beautiful areas. A helpful and friendly host. Highly recommended!
