Tropea: Holiday apartments & Bed and Breakfast

 

It sits majestically enthroned above the sea – Tropea, rich in history and, as legend has it, founded by the ancient hero Hercules.

Tropea - the town on a cliff above the sea

The view of Tropea from the sea is simply spectacular: a stretch of white sand, above which rock faces rise up vertically and melt into the walls of the old palazzi.

From the completely intact Old Town you get to enjoy picture-postcard views towards the turquoise blue sea and the pilgrimage church of Santa Maria dell’Isola, Tropea’s landmark.

The wide sandy beaches to both sides of the Isola and the clean, crystal clear waters of the sea are within easy walking distance. It comes as no surprise that Tropea is a popular holiday resort! 

Experience tradition – comfortably accommodated: holiday apartments in Calabria’s cultural landscape

Visible from afar, the pilgrimage church of Santa Maria dell’Isola rises on an isolated sandstone rock outside the town.

Up to the time the Normans arrived, Greek-Orthodox Basilian monks lived as hermits on the island. The island and the church then passed into the ownership of the Benedictines and they are still part of the diocese of Montecassino today.  

The nobly structured façade was erected at the beginning of the 20th century, after its medieval structures had gradually been destroyed by wars. The upper floors house a small museum; from the roof terrace you step into a lovingly designed garden, which offers fantastic views.

The Old Town of Tropea - charming holiday apartments and B&B

The heart of the Old Town beats at Piazza Ercole. Sedile Port’Ercole, the former seat of the nobility, is where, today, the committed members of Pro Loco provide and hand out information. The chairman’s father is the well-known painter Albino Lorenzo. 

Following Corso Vittorio Emanuele, you arrive at a breathtaking belvedere. When strolling through the alleys branching off to either side of the Corso, you pass noble palaces and proud upper class townhouses.  

Tropea has got many interesting churches, but it is surely the cathedral dating back to the 12th/13th century that stands out and which thanks to comprehensive works of restoration has regained its medieval structure. A Gothic portal opens into the austere pier basilica, which is devoid of any Baroque elements.
