Small friendly hotel. 15 minutes walk from beach.
Visited in low season, but service was fantastic. Staff so friendly and helpful. Loved the breakfasts, the produce was home produced, and the fruit was from the garden. Loved the custard apples! Evening meals were at their restaurant down the road because it was low season, but lifts were readily offered. Restaurant very good, fresh fish featuring. Lovely bubbly house white wine. Room was clean and fresh, with a smart newly renovated bathroom. Very pleased over all.

Equipe do hotel nota 1000!
Este hotel superou as minhas expectativas :)) Tudo lindo, mto bem cuidado. Café da manhã bem servido, buffet com diversas opções, inclusive salgado, além do classico corneto. Chegamos de trem e o transfer ( Inacio) jà estava nos esperando na estação. O serviço de transfer é gratuito e nos leva até a praia. Chegamos no hotel e fomos recepcionados com um drink (um suco delicioso) e salgadinhos e a recepcionista sentou na mesa para nos dar todas as informações. Todos os funcionarios do hotel são super simpáticos e disponíveis! A praia é lindíssima e ainda fica somente à 10min de trem para Troppea. Super recomendo!!

Great staff and great food!
We loved our one week stay at La Bussola in July 2017. We stayed as a familiy with two small children, and felt so welcome our hole stay. The staff is sweet and helpful. When we had a misunderstanding about our food order at dinner, they were very flexible and made up for everything. The childred loved the pool and playground. We liked the beach at Tropea better then the one close by (free shuttle bus) , so we drove there ourself. The food at the hotel was really good, we ate here every night. What could be better? Well, the shower teperature is really unstable (everywhere in italy?). And I would like some more vegetables for the breakfast. We had a really good time, and hope to come back again some other time!

Senza Ombra di dubbio un Buon 3 Stelle, ma da migliorare sotto alcuni punti di vista sopratutto x quanto riguarda le sue camere mi aspettavo un po di comfort in piu, in ogni caso con qualche piccola Attenzione non ha nulla da invidiare a nessun 4 Stelle! Il personale sempre molto gentile e disponibile. Una Lode vanno alla ragazza della Reception ed il Maitre veramente Professionali e Cordiali. Superba la Cucina! Grazie Chef chiunque lei Sia!

Hotel ok, aber ...
Aufenthalt war soweit gut. Lage ist cool weil man schnell in tropea ist und in ricadi. Allerdings ist das Frühstück bei mehreren Übernachtungen echt langweilig - Keine Abwechslung (kein Ei oder ähnliches)! Immer der gleiche Schinken, Käse, Toast und Kaffee ist für Italien wirklich ein Witz! Handtücher gibt es nur jeden zweiten Tag neu, ansonsten 3€ pro extra Handtuch! pool riecht sehr nach Chlor! Außerdem ist das Hotel nicht in der Lage die rewards-möchte seit über einem Monat zu bestätigen!

Emballé par la Bussola
Nous venons de passer 1 semaine (du 18 au 25 juillet 2015) très agréable à la Bussola. Nous y étions avec nos 2 enfants (9 ans et 18 mois). Le personnel est aux petits soins avec ses clients, ils ont vraiment répondu à toutes nos attentes. L'hôtel est parfaitement équipé et d'une propreté irréprochable (chambre faite tous les jours) Le restaurant est vraiment excellent (un petit bémol pour le petit déjeuner qui pourrait être enrichi par des jus de fruits frais et non à la machine), les pâtes sont à tomber quelque soit l'accompagnement. Seulement des produits frais sont cuisinés; les fruits et légumes proviennent du potager et des vergers attenant à l'hôtel. La piscine est top; le soleil était au rendez-vous..... Bref c'est un grand OUI pour la Bussola.
