Castle of Bivona

PET friendly nice staff

A stunning, beautiful resort that blends seamlessly into the natural beauty around it. Breakfast is amazing, and the supper menu changes daily, features local ingredients, and was always delicious. We played tennis twice and enjoyed the spa. There’s a beautiful sunset over the ocean every night. I cannot recommend this resort any higher, and we will definitely be back.

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.
