Latest reviews on Vibo Valentia's beaches

Torre Ruffa beach
10 Manny V

We had a wonderful stay in August. The beach was absolutely stunning, with crystal clear water and no annoying large stones or rocks like other beaches in the area. The hotel staff was excellent, very kind, friendly, and accommodating. From the reception staff to the restaurant waiters, they were always ready to fulfill customer requests. The cuisine was also top-notch, with delicious regional dishes and fresh fish served daily. The animation team was not overly intrusive and the young staff members were full of energy. The only downside, which is not specific to the hotel but rather the entire stretch of coast, is the lack of a traditional seafront promenade due to the slightly overhanging nature of the area. Other than that, everything was excellent.

We are enamored with this beach. The crystalline water is a sight to behold, and the tranquil ambiance is a welcomed respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The ample parking area is an added bonus, ensuring a stress-free arrival.

Spiaggia di Torre Marino II
10 Camila Celeste Gómez Mendoza

We had an amazing vacation at this beach destination, which is absolutely ideal for families. The sports activities and evening shows were a big hit with my kids. The pool area is incredibly peaceful and offers stunning views. The scenery from the pool area is absolutely awe-inspiring, especially during sunset. Make sure not to miss the breathtaking sunsets. It's advisable to bring water shoes as the beach has rocky areas. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located just a 10-minute drive from the charming town of Tropea, which is definitely worth a visit.
