Ryokan in Calabria

A genuinely lovely hotel which felt like being at home. The owner is really passionate about Calabria and always happy to help and provided some great recommendations. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spotless. The breakfast is also superb. Special thanks to Noelia who is an absolute asset to the hotel.

Stayed here with friends for two nights to visit the Tropea area. It was tricky to find but hotel.com directions on their app was excellent. The hotel was beautifully set out and all rooms had outdoor space. Ate in the restaurant which was very good. The owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast also excellent. It was difficult at first to get our bearings from it as Tropea roads are not easy but did in the end. It was within 30 mins walking distance but you could drive...

Booked this last minute and really enjoyed our stay. We were warmly greeted on arrival and as it was late they found us a dinner reservation (which was lovely) and showed us around the stunning property. The room was lovely and the breakfast a treat - their own marmalade is delicious!

I loved this place! I had the junior suite with the sea view. It must be the best view in Tropea! This place was easily found and within walking distance of everything. The woman who checked me and and made breakfast in the mornings was absolutely lovely (wish I had gotten her name).

Absolute paradise could have stayed forever.

My husband and I stayed for four nights at the beginning of May 2011 and were very impressed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were luxurious and spacious.Breakfast was typical Calabrian home baking and very plentiful.The owners were very helpful, giving directions for sightseeing and travel around the area. They recommended a nearby restaurant Re Ruggero which was fantastic. Marvellous food at a great price.One evening they even picked us up from a restaurant when it started to rain! We highly...

A wonderful hotel with lovely staff and amazing accommodation!

Clean room, good facilities, good breakfast. Good position for the centre of Praia and he sea. Gaetano, the owner, was an excellent host.

The staff were warm, kind, personable and attentive. The hotel was top notch stylish and upscale of the highest quality and design. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at.

Very central location, 50m from Corso Garibaldi, Lido train station less than 5min walk away and within walking distance to the port. It looks that a ground floor apartment has been freshly renovated and modernised, split into 3 units, of which this room is one. Common entrance has some kitchen facilities. Room itself modern, well equipped and very clean. Safe is built into the wall, which is a rare find! Room fairly dark though and outside shades are quite difficult to handle. Communication...

Very clean, modern room + friendly staff + amazing home made breakfast

Staff were lovely and extremely helpful, food was excellent on the roof terrace as well

Lovely big room, very clean and very helpful! Thank you for being so accommodating!

The people who own and run this hotel know how to provide an experience that is restful and comfortable. They aren't intrusive, but they knew how to provide just the right level of help and attention that we required.

This was my second time to Popilia and I was not disappointed at all with the resort.The staff, hotel and facilities were fantastic. The food was lovely and very well presented. The pool was very clean and pool staff were extremely helpful. Really looking forward to another visit in the near future.

The staff were friendly and helpful and were able to recommend at least two very good and reasonably priced restaurants within walking distance. It was particularly valued by me that I was free to brew myself proper English tea at any time, and there was an expresso coffee machine in the bedroom. There is also a good laundry almost next door which had my clothes ready within 24hours. There was decent craft beer (and other drinks) at a fair price, and not too cold, in the fridge in the bedroom....
