It was the highlight of my trip to Calabria. I have stayed for 4 days. Parghelia wasn't on my list i was planning to stay in Tropea until i found the hotel located a short walking distance to Tropea but staying still in a quieter area far away from mass tourism. I have absolutely loved loved the place and staying in Villino Eleonora along with Alessandro hospitality made my trip more special.Villa is a historical building surrounded by garden which is a pleasure to walk around and admire. There are three beaches by walking distance where you can easily set beach towel or sunbed with umbrella. Beach wasn't crowdy and they are facilities available if you want a snack od drink. Beautiful sunset with Stromboli in the background. There are a couple of Pizzerias and one great restaurant in the heart of the city centre. Room where i have stayed had high speed WiFi, air con, everything was spotless clean and a terrace where you could see Tropea in the distance. Everyday i was served a delicious breakfast: egg dish, bowl of fruits and bread with homemade jams. I am sure i will book it again.

I had such a wonderful experience here, that I changed my travel plans and came back for the rest of my trip! Here are some highlights: -Location: It's situated in Parghelia, a cute little town with great restaurants that is not overcrowded. It's a 10-15 minute walk to Spiaggia di Michelino (a beautiful beach) and a scenic 35 minute walk to the center of Tropea. It is also not a far drive from Pizzo and Capo Vaticano, so you can stay here the whole time and see all of the highlights along the Coast of the Gods. -Parking: There is ample space for parking under some shady trees across the street. The area is for guests only and is protected from the street. -Breakfast: This is one of the best parts about staying here! You are served a unique customized breakfast every morning on your private terrace. It is wonderful to sit and enjoy the delicious food and nice ambience. Also, as a vegetarian with other dietary preferences, I can say that the hosts go above and beyond to serve a meal to your liking. -Ambiance & Hospitality: There are private rooms and bathrooms that are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The doors to your room and the private terraces are arranged in a way that creates privacy. The owners have great taste and enjoy gardening, so everything is very picturesque on the property. The owners are also very hospitable and friendly and give great tourism advice. Also, I highly recommend watching sunset from the terrace. It's the best view! -Wellness Center: While we were staying here, we got Swedish massages in the wellness center. The massages were super relaxing and reasonably priced. The wellness center was also a really nice space to relax with a small pool and a sauna. There are several spa services you can arrange there.

What an amazing place and wonderful hosts! The grounds are absolutely beautiful with ample garden space to sit with fruit trees and beautiful vegetation. The room was extremely clean, comfortable with a great ac and the breakfast was great with a lot of attention to detail. There are two terraces I could sit in with one being more private. They also provide a beach umbrella which is highly appreciated. The hosts could not be nicer, they dropped me off at the train station and also helped with my laundry which was highly appreciated as I am traveling for longer. You can write them through WhatsApp if you need anything and they respond very fast. The most beautiful beach in the area is located 11minute walk with a wonderful café a bit higher up where you can buy drinks and then get a lounge chair for free. I totally recommend staying in this gem!!

The guesthouse is located on the estate around the main historic villa. The villa is very beautiful and stylish, and the rooms are located in pavilions in the adjoining beautiful garden. Everything is very clean and the host is friendly and helpful. The shower in my room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was served to the room table in the garden and included also some high quality homemade products. There is also parking space in front of the villa, spaced enough. It is good guesthouse even for longer stay as a base for sightseeing and relaxing around in beautiful Calabria. It is located about 2-2,5 km from Tropea and I walked to this city at the morning after breakfast. It was pleasent experience.

Everything was perfect.

Everything, fabulous accommodation set in a beautiful garden with views of the sea and the island of Stromboli. Excellent breakfasts and friendly, welcoming hosts.

We loved our stay at Villiono Eleanora! The host was so welcoming and accommodating. The highlight was definitely the private breakfast served in the garden. Highly recommend staying here- it’s close to so many amazing beaches!

A wonderful place with the nicest owners and an incredible breakfast served daily to your outdoor terrace! Thank you for a great stay☺️

This was a one day/night stop to avoid a long drive and ferry from Puglia to Palermo. The property was lush and private. Parking was on site with many dinner options just a 10 minute walk away. Our hosts, Alessandro and Cinzia, were extremely welcoming and gracious. A delicious breakfast was prepared for us and served on a private patio outside our room and an invitation was extended to take in the view from the rooftop of their residence. From there we could see Tropea, across to Sicily including Mount Etna and the volcanoes off the coast including a very active Mount Stromboli.

There was nothing we didn’t enjoy about our stay and the next visit will include more time to explore Calabria.

Stop searching. You’ve found THE most amazing place to stay near the gorgeous city of Tropea on the Calabrian coast. Villino Eleonora is a gorgeous stately home, at the edge of the town of Parghelia and perched just above (10 minutes walking) from two of the regions most beautiful beaches (La Grazia and Michelino). The property is run by the wonderful Allesandro and his charming wife, super welcoming and full of excellent local recommendations. The property itself is stunning: the guest rooms are situated at one end of the beautiful gardens, each with its own private patio where a gorgeous and delicious homemade breakfast is served every day. The rooms are perfectly equipped, and filled with all of the small thoughtful touches that distinguish this place from 99.9% of hotels. Their website slogan says “Come as guests, leave as friends” and we certainly feel that way. Thank you for an exceptional experience

Villino Eleonora has 4 cosy apartments secluded from each other. Breakfast on my little terrace served by smiling, helpful, yet always discrete family members. Any questions quickly answered by message or in person. Our hosts Alessandro and Cinzia are always somewhere around, either cleaning or tending the beautiful rustic garden.

Sometimes the traffic was a bit noisy.
