Belcastro Vacation Packages

It was good but not the best

PET friendly nice staff

This is a lovely property. Our air conditioner did not work and they moved us to an upgraded room for the last 2 nights. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. Our room was clean and the view was beautiful of the sea, though further away than we thought. A few cons. There is no beach access here at all.Some of the descriptions are misleading. You cannot walk into town or to the beach on the very busy roads, it’s a long walk and dangerous. We were able to Uber back and forth without any issues. There is no spa but the pool is beautiful. The service at the pool is understaffed. Were were there in mid May off season. We were told they were open from 11-7 but when we asked for service for coffee at 12:15p we were told they didn’t open until 12:30 and no one came until 12:45p. One night we didn’t feel well and wanted to order in but no one could help us with that. We We found an app and ordered only for it to be cancelled after 25 minutes. There is no one at the reception desk available after 9 pm. I would hope in the future to see a little more available in the reception area like snacks and coffee. A shuttle to and from town/beach would also be appreciated. There is a lot of potential for this property and Tropea is stunning and still untouched by Americans (which we are) and annoying crowds so go now if you can.

First the good- staff were all very courteous and helpful. Although I wouldn’t say the breakfast was exceptional, it was still more than adequate with no complaints. Same with the restaurant. Now the not so good which only applies to guests with cars. The hotel does have free parking at a garage about 100 meters from hotel and not attached to hotel. And you can’t enter garage without first checking in. There is no reserved place in front of hotel to offload luggage which means you must double- park on a busy narrow street, or park illegally in front of a nearby fire hydrant while you check in. There is no bellman (other than the single front desk person) to help with luggage. And although the front desk person ( who was very nice and very busy) eventually helped with luggage, because he was all by himself, he simply placed luggage in room and rushed off without explaining the room how to operate lights and TV( though he came later upon our request to do so). So the bottom line is if you arrive by car with lots of luggage you may have a similar experience. If you have a car with only a little luggage only some of the problems above. And if you arrive via public transportation you can probably ignore the above.

I loved the pool & the mineral warm tub! There’s a store right across the street if you need anything. The beach is beautiful. There was a nice bar, free breakfast & delicioso dinners!
