Nothing.

The view from the window, the staff, and the location. The owner was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Even though he didn’t speak English, communication was easy. Simple but very good breakfasts. Place is located in the city center!

No air conditioning, but thankfully there was a fan in each bedroom which helped.

The location is excellent with beautiful views to the sea, the hosts were very helpful, the breakfast was plentiful. The accommodation is in a charming old apartment - it felt great to stay somewhere authentic like where the locals live.

No complains!

So lovely hostes, best every! Even though we did not have common languages we understood each other perfectly. Because of them my heart will always be in Tropea! The accomotation had a small balcony with beautiful view. Room was clean and location right in the center of the village. Book now!

The stairs up to the rooms are tiring… specially if you have luggage.

Great location, and lovely hosts! Antonio was super helpful and kind.

Al Vecchio Castello was a lovely place to stay, right in the heart of the historic area of Tropea. The room was gorgeous and the breakfast really good and generous. Antonio is a lovely host and could not do enough to help make this a very memorable stay.

Antonio was the best host!! Best place to stay, don't think twice!

They don’t have air conditioner which could be a bit challenge. We were okay with a little fan they had for our stay in the mid June but it’ll be a struggle if it was hotter. It’s in the central so if you leave the window open it’s quite noise until late night.

The staff were very nice, very flexible and responsive. It’s in the very center and they have some parasols if you need. Water pressure in the shower is really good.

WiFi was weak but it wasn’t a problem for us

The location has the most beautiful views to the see and city center. The room was very clean and we had a nice breakfast too. Antonio was very kind and friendly. We practised our Italian with him which made our experience feel very authentic.

Look, it’s not luxury, the morning noises from birds and bin collections will likely wake you up around 7:30/08:00 (in time for breakfast though!) and it’s a simple accommodation, a nice place to sleep (bring ear buds as you are in the centre!). But the hosts absolutely make it and knowing you’re supporting a small, family business by staying here is an added bonus to their hospitality.

The hosts Antonio and Maria absolutely make this accommodation worth staying in. They are so incredibly kind and accommodating! Giving recommendations, always checking in to see how your day went and asking what your plans are over breakfast. For my boyfriend’s birthday, they surprised us with balloons and a cake/singsong over breakfast which was so lovely! The breakfast itself was delicious, and you can’t beat the views overlooking the historic centre with charming buildings and the sea in the near distance. Sadly our Italian is extremely poor and the same goes for Antonio and Maria’s English, but nothing a few hand gestures and translator app can’t solve! The location of this property is unbeatable. You are right in the historic centre and everything is walkable. I recommend eating at “that’s amore” restaurant for good pizza and vibes! 100% would stay here again, just to experience their gorgeous hospitality.

The mattress is barely a mattress. It’s very very hard. no fridge and no drinking water in the room, but except that it was great for the price paid. It’s a very good deal. I would go back if I was traveling on a budget by myself.

Very, very warm welcome by the owner who does only speak Italian but you get to understand him anyway. the location is perfect. The room is very clean and you feel very welcome.

I had a beautiful view and the furnishings were so lovely!

From the moment Antonio opened the door it was beautiful! Although we couldn’t speak Italian and Antonio couldn’t speak English it was the best kind of communication. We understood each other through our broken languages and laughed. Antonio is a beautiful host and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and taken care of. We will return every year if we could!

In my room the water pump could be loud.

A perfect place for a solo traveller - friendly and safe. Lovely decor and furnishing.

No air conditioning. However, a fan was provided that helped. No elevator, but that is to be expected in Italy. Nonetheless a very charming spot.

The property is very centrally located and very charming. The staff were very friendly and nice. I would recommend this property.

Everything was great! Nothing to complain about. Only a suggestion, but I’m not sure about the possibility and the limitations on that.. it would be an air conditioner. The fan was very effective and helpful though.

Everything was amazing! The location is incredible, very easy to access from the train station and it was very close to sightseeings, to the beach and restaurants, so you can go everywhere by foot. The bedroom was very clean and Mr. Antonio is very kind and receptive.

Great location. Beautiful view from the room. Lovely hosts.

Hosts were great! We didn't speak a work of Italian, and they didn't speak any English but it was no issue! Breakfast was lovely, rooms are beautiful and location is great. The hosts even offered to look after out bags for a few hours after checkout as we had a late train. Would return!
