Tropea: Holiday apartments & Bed and Breakfast

 

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

Tropea - the town on a cliff above the sea

From the sea, you have got the most spectacular view of Tropea: a stretch of white sand, above which rock faces rise up vertically and melt into the walls of the old palazzi.

Enjoy the picture-postcard views from the completely intact Old Town towards the turquoise blue sea and the pilgrimage church of Santa Maria dell’Isola, Tropea’s landmark.

Walk to the wide sandy beaches to both sides of the Isola and enjoy swimming and bathing in the clean, crystal clear waters of the sea. 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. On the upper floors, there is 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, you find the committed members of Pro Loco, who 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 around in the alleys branching off to either side of the Corso, you pass noble palaces and proud upper class townhouses.  

From amongst the town’s numerous churches worth visiting, it is the cathedral dating back to the 12th/13th century that stands out. Thanks to comprehensive works of restoration, the church has regained its medieval structure. Through a Gothic portal you enter the austere pier basilica, which is devoid of any Baroque elements.
