Great place and would recommend but a few issues
I will start with the cons before I get into what we enjoyed. First off we didn't get the room we booked. I booked a pool side room but was given sea view room. When I went to ask about it the blonde lady (I will not mention her name) tried to cover it up after I showed her my itinerary. She was fairly rude about it and just kept saying we upgraded you to sea view room. But I kept telling her I booked pool side and if I wanted sea view I would have booked sea view. Anyway I didn't want to make a big deal so I just left it as it was. Obviously they over booked and tried to cover it up. If they just told us it was over booked I wouldnt have mentioned it in my review. The blonde lady is not fit to be a receptionist she was rude to us and would never say Hi unless you did first and also wouldn't make eye contact. All the other staff was great including the maintenance. Always said Hi and made you feel welcomed. Place was nice (a bit dated but clean) and pool was great! Staff working at the pool were very nice and hard workers, they would never stop.

Nice hotel-not a great location or shuttle service
This hotel is well kept, clean, beautiful pool area and the breakfast is very nice. The staff is cordial. This hotel offers a shuttle service that needs to be improved to a more frequent schedule. It was quite inadequate for the amount of guests occupying the hotel. We often had to wait for the shuttle to do a first run and come back to pick us up cause it only fit about 10 people. It is not located in Tropea and the reserved beach area is not Tropea beach, it is actually Shark Bay in Parghelia. Tropea beach is a 25 minute walk. If you want to visit Tropea village and it's beach, I would recommend to stay at a hotel in Tropea village.

nice hotel
Lovely hotel and staff very helpful. The down fall for us was that there is very limited things to do and you had to get a taxi or the shuttle to get any where if you do not have transport which we did not have. the food at the hotel was excellent and it was lovely to be able to sit outside and have Breakfast every morning. We did not use the private beach as it is quite a walk to and when you have poor mobility it was not ideal. The shuttle to the beach left at 9-15am each morning and did not pick up until 5-15pm and to walk back it is very hilly.

A hotel that offers more than expected!
We were very pleased with our stay at the Hotel Tirreno, the staff was very hospitable and informative about the area, the hotel offered more amenities than what we had expected. The breakfast was one of the best we have experienced in all our trips to Italy over the years. The restaurant food was excellent and the prices were very affordable.

Lovely hotel, pretty grounds, good beach nearby, but their biggest asset is their staff. Willing to go that bit extra. The hotel shuttle bus was a boon, and all the drivers special, taking our party to and from a celebration dinner in Tropea, and to the church for a wedding, and taking my partner and I to catch our train. Wonderful.

My favorite place in all the world
This was our second visit to Hotel Tirreno and we could not have been happier with our stay. We were given a lovely room with a beautiful balcony and view. It was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and always available to help. We enjoyed the breakfasts very much,and the grounds and pool were lovely, peaceful and quiet. A short walk down the hill is the beautiful beach and chairs are provided. There is also a shuttle service to Tropea offered by the hotel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wonderful hotel and look forward to returning again in the future.

Very basic for a 4 stars
Hotel Tirreno would be a good place for young couples with children who enjoy the apartment type. Accommodation is very basic, not even close to the North American 3 stars...and the walls are paper thin, so you hear everything your neighbors are doing....property is clean and the pool is nice. The location is fine if you have a car....beautiful Tropea is just a 5 minute drive....

Lovely hotel with super staff
This is the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff, especially the receptionists were superb, always smiling and helpful. The room was spacious with high quality furniture and a pleasant balcony. The pool was spotlessly clean and very pleasant with a nice pool bar. Breakfasts were excellent but we cannot comment on the restaurant as we preferred to go into Tropea to dine. Beach area very pleasant and not far away.

hidden gem of Calabria
our family's 4 night stay was the highlight of our 9 day trip to Italy. the grounds are very well kept and the resort is very picturesque with beautiful views of Tropea and the ocean. the staff was very friendly and professional and Daniele's commitment to the guest's well being was exceptional. although Tropea is close, a vehicle is required to make the most out of the location. we have already recommended this resort to friends and would love to go back ourselves.

highly recommended
Our only concern was the size of the bathroom, in particular the shower. The view from the balcony could be enhanced with some trimming of the olive trees in front of the rooms. breakbast was excellent, with the exception of the coffee which was not as good as you would have at an espresso bar. Their beach was a high lite and the shuttle service to Tropea highly appreciated. The pool was very nice and the service at the pool bar was very good.

very well apponinted hotel
This is a small, very well appointed, family run hotel. The on site facilities are excellent and to a very high standard. The service was exceptionally friendly and very efficient. Our bedroom was small, which is not unusual in Italian hotels but was very well equipped. However, we only stayed for three nights and i would not be sure I'd like to stay there for more than a week. Even though with the good weather one spends a lot of time outdoors it could get a bit confining.

Location, location
Hotel Tirreno is located about one mile from Tropea, the obvious reason for being in the region. It has a wonderful swimming pool and pool bar, and describes itself as having a beach. It does indeed have a private beach with lounges, etc, however, it is a serious 20 minute walk down a steep road to reach it. They do have shuttles at stated times. The beach is one of the few in all of Southern Italy that is indeed clean sand; so many beaches are rocky and/or trashy. The beach is in sight of Tropea, sitting beautifully on a cliff overlooking the Med. Our room faced a parking lot (ugh), but that may have had to do with the price. Not cheap, either. Nearly all rooms had Sea views.

Das Apartmenthotel liegt leicht versteckt, aber sobald man die Anlage betritt, fühlt man sich sofort sehr wohl. Alles ist sauber und der Pool und der Garten sehen sehr gepflegt aus. Die Zimmer sind ausreichend. Schlafzimmer, Bad und eine kleine Küchenzeile. ZUm Kochen und Essen ist wirklich alles vorhanden. Die Zimmer sind ein bisschen dunkel, was aber nicht schlimm ist, da wir einen sehr großen überdachten Balkon hatten, der im Prinzip wie ein weiteres Zimmer ist. Wir waren damit sehr zufrieden.

Nice view from terrace to Tropea, Beach and pool.
Nice pool with pool bar and bathroom master, so also very great with children. The way to the beach is exhausting, but there is a shuttle, but only in the morning and mittday. The breakfast is great, lots of fruit, but also a lot of cakes. We ate the menu on the day of arrival, which was recommended to us, which cost 40 € and was very disappointed. Have never seen such many main courses go back. We did not eat there again. The rooms are ok, if you like very hard beds and pillows. It is badly sound, the toilet flushing of the overlying Appartment went directly through the bedroom, the terrace in front of the room very large but tiled, which is quite noisy when at night chairs are moved. It is cleaned every day and made beds.

Schönes Hotel, Top-Service = Toller Urlaub
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Hotel Tirreno sehr genossen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft des Personals sowie die Sauberkeit der gesamten Anlage. Das hoteleigene Restaurant ist auch sehr zu empfehlen, auch wenn man, wie wir keine Halbpension gebucht hat. Es ist sehr gut und ist auch preislich mit den Restaurants in der Umgebung vergleichbar. Fußläufig sind in Parghelia ebenfalls gute Restaurants zu finden. Der kostenlose Hotel-Shuttle-Service nach Tropea ist auch hervorragend. Dort kann man dann shoppen, flanieren und natürlich auch in verschiedensten Restaurants essen. Wir empfehlen auf jeden Fall einen Mietwagen, da alle andere Ausflugsziele doch weiter weg sind. Rundherum eines der empfehlenswertesten Hotels, in denen wir bisher waren.

Great family-run hotel!
We just came back from our honeymoon; a 10 day stay at this wonderful, family run hotel. And we are so pleased with our choice!!! We stayed in a junior suite w/sea view. The room standard was good. There was a minibar, en extra bed in addition to the double bed, adjustable aircondition, a water boiler and coffe/tea, a large closet, a bathroom with a shower and a terrace with an awning, a table/chairs. The room, in addition to the rest of the hotel, dining area and pool area, was incredibly clean! The room was cleaned every morning, and every night during dinner the cleaning personell stopped by again to empty litter bins, adjust linen if it was folded and put a snack on your pillow :) The beach is a 15 min walk along a lightly trafficked road with no sidewalk OR you can take the free hotel shuttle bus that leaves every other hour from the hotel. The town of Tropea is a 30 min walk along the same road, with a very steep stair at the end up to the city. The hotel runs a shuttle in the evening. What truly makes this a 4 star hotel is the wonderful people working here! They always greet you with a smile, even when they're not in their uniform. Stephania, the hotel manager, wrote us a beautiful letter, wishing us a magic honeymoon, and gave us a very nice bottle of wine, both of which was in our room upon arrival. When departing she gave us a beautiful ceramic souvenir to remember them by. The people who work here are truly amazing! :)
