Villa is a five minute drive from Tropea. Views from the terrace are breathtaking! Beach is 200 meters down a steep hill. You'll find 2 hotel beach chairs + 1 umbrella our host has reserved. The pool never opened while we were there. The listing and photos gave us the impression that beach and pool were closer, not 200 meters away. The day before we arrived I asked our host info about the pool, she was very responsive to inquire with the hotel management about the pool and quick to give me the update the pool is closed. I would not have known the pool was closed. After, we arrived I spoke to the lifeguard, he told me it wouldn't be likely that the pool would open. That was very disappointing because we rented the villa with the main motivation of having a pool. The beach was beautiful, we drove down to the beach for my 75+ year old parents were unable to walk the steep hill. There is parking by the beach. One day as we arrived a large stream of raw sewage was on the road and going into the sea. I notified the lifeguard, who said we couldn't swim there. He told me this happens often. Inside the villa was clean. Needs many updates. Plenty of towels for bathing & beach. Kitchen w/ large fridge/freezer, some good pans. Toilet seats poor quality, fell off the hinges. Bed covers stained in twin bedroom. Listing wrong. No 4th bedroom! Overall, we feel that the listing was misleading. Great beach, but certainly not a "Top Luxury Villa With Pool" as advertised. Cannot recommend.
