Vacation rentals with beach access in Contrada Difesa II

We loved our stay! Great walking into town center, found a perfect coffee bar for the mornings, not far from the apartment. Great restaurants, gelato etc. nothing was far away. Francesca was absolutely wonderful ❣️ The gals that cleaned were wonderful, the place was perfect 😍

Hosts were great! They were kind to pick us up and drop off at the train station. Everything was comfortable and close to everything.

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.

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 fantastic 5-night stay at this Airbnb in Tropea, Italy! The unit was beautifully presented—clean, modern, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From the kitchen essentials to the cozy furnishings, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Photos do not do it justice. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore the stunning beaches and charming streets of Tropea with ease. Only 10 minute walk to both. Noting also there are three supermarkets only 150 metres walk away. In particular Euro Spin a supermarket chain throughout Italy which has great food that you can cook at home or have something already cooked by them. A huge thank you to our wonderful hosts Giuseppe and Pola who were welcoming, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Definitely the best Air B n B we have stayed at and also better than some 5 star hotels. Highly recommended—we would definitely return! Tropea is well worth the visit.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 nights in the month of Ocotber. The apartment is cute! It has a full kitchen as well as two bedrooms. The second bedroom only has single beds, in which we did not use. The shower is quite small and if you are overweight you may have trouble for the shower ( we did not have any issues). There is a washer as well which is very convenient! The location of this apartment is perfect, it's situated right next to the stairs to get down to the beach, and 2-3 mins walk to the centre. The sunset from the balcony is stunning. I recommend this place! Thank you Lina !

We had a great time. The apartment is 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 all available. The beach is great. We didn't do much else. Snorkeling there was awesome .

Marina’s place was close to everything. It was very spacious and modern with a large kitchen and bedrooms. It was well situated near the train station and the historic centre. An easy walk away! The view was great and the extra outdoor space was very nice to use. It is situated in a secure complex with gates, a pool and private parking. We highly recommend this place. And you couldn’t ask for a better host!

The apartment is very well located in the heart of Tropea’s old town, with the most beautiful sea-view. There are several very good restaurants nearby. It was quite hot and there was only one fan. Would have been nice to have had a second one, especially at night. Other than that, we can highly recommend this spacious and very well equipped apartment. Massimo was more than helpful with everything. He gave us many good recommendations where to eat, grocery shopping, etc.

Wow what can I say Amantea was beautiful. Carolina was a great host always responsive and even came over to help us connect to the Wifi. for some reason it wasn't connecting. We were visiting friends from Lago and they were impressed with the place as well. Easy to get to from Lamezia with easy access parking. Carolina also made us all feel at home. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family visiting this region of Italy.

Quirico was a dream to communicate with and so nice the place is so close to the beach. Very peaceful

If you want to have a quiet vacation, this is the place to be. The surrounding area is very quiet and the beach right in front of the house is also not very busy. The beach bar is also great. The accommodation was very clean and all utensils, as well as basic spices, were also provided for cooking. Giuseppina was very friendly, always responded very quickly and was very helpful. We will definitely recommend this place and hopefully come back soon.

Fantastic location, beautiful virtually private beach on the doorstep. A short drive from Tropea and local shops and restaurants. simple clean well equipes no frills accomodation.

We had a lovely stay! The home itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was responsive and friendly. The space had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. As there are people upstairs and downstairs, we had to be quiet (I have 2 children under the age of 2), if you have children just be mindful before booking as you will be reminded to keep it down. You will also need to take bedding off and bins outside yourself at the end of your stay. One thing to keep in mind: the location is quiet seaside village style. It’s a peaceful and quiet area, which we appreciated, but taxis and ride-shares were hard to come by. If you’re planning to stay here, having your own car or arranging transportation in advance is a good idea. We made friends with locals who helped us out with ride shares. Overall, a great experience — especially if you’re looking for a quiet retreat and don’t mind being a little outside the city center!

This place is a gem!!! Includes an adorable home with multiple outdoor dining areas, pool (shared between a couple of villas), and a stunning private beach (down 400 steps but well worth it!). Our mixed age group (2 year old, 92 year old and 3 adults) absolutely loved it! Was a beautiful escape and felt like we were getting a taste of the region. We loved spending time at the pool and cooking in the kitchen. For those who may have trouble with stairs - one bedroom is ground floor, two are upstairs. It is only a few minutes drive from some great restaurants, and 20 minute drive to Tropea. Definitely recommend having a car if you stay here.

The accommodation in Santa Maria is highly recommended: The apartment is functionally furnished and the garden is romantic. You can hear the sound of the sea and it's just a short walk to the beach. Anna is a warm and helpful personality. She responds immediately and also helped us a lot with an evening noise nuisance. In short: When visiting the Costa degli Dei, the house in Santa Maria is a great address - we would come back anytime. Thank you, Anna, for everything!

Stunning views couldn’t have asked for a better location in Tropea well worth the money no comparison we have stayed in other B & B’s in Tropea but this will be the one to come back to no question, special thank to Lydia you were so lovely from when we first enquired then booking it and appreciated you be flexible (adding an additional night on for us) and do helpful!

Lovely apartment - exactly like the photos. Very clean and tastefully furnished. The outside terrace (furniture and views) were amazing! Would recommend! Car definitely required.

Great stay! Daniela is an awesome host, was super friendly and helpful

Very special, quiet and with original furnishings from the 70s. Really a beautiful place with special charm and very friendly & helpful team. It is very simple and with the kitchen and bathroom you notice that they are from another time and some things are a bit outdated, but for that you have a unique environment, a lot of peace, nature and a lot of personal charm away from mass tourism. If desired or small defects, it was immediately helped and everything was fixed directly. Also recommended without a car, you walk about 15 minutes to the small supermarket, about 30 minutes to the slightly larger supermarket, 20 minutes to the train station (from there you can easily walk to Scilla & Tropea). The only drawback: On weekends you can hear the music of the larger tourist facilities and basic equipment such as oil, vinegar, pepper, etc. are not available on site. The place and surrounding area is beautiful, great beach & above all very helpful and warm atmosphere. We will be happy to come back!

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.

Wonderful, friendly accommodation near beautiful Tropea. We loved staying here!

We enjoyed our stay in Pizza and first visit to Calabria. The views from the apartment and nearby beaches are amazing. Parking was a little challenging for the first two days, as the town was very busy with it being a national holiday.

I liked that apparent was very bright, loads of natural light, it had everything I needed. I was able to cook and work comfortably. It has a private balcony but you can also use the shared balcony which has the sea view. I was surprised how quiet it was at night, did not need earplugs:). Giulia was very responsive, very friendly, I was able to have early check-in which was very helpful!:) 6min walk to the city centre, supermarket and Eurospin just across and up the street:) Would come back!:)
