We loved our stay here
We loved our stay here, the house is absolutely gorgeous and the views were amazing! The beach right around the corner - absolutely breathtaking - we loved our stay here. The ping pong table adds some fun to the house. Francesca, the lady who was our contact person was amazing, friendly and responded straight away. Would love to go back any day!

Top accommodation
Beautiful stylish villa with great grounds and pool. The house is superbly equipped. The view of the sea is beautiful. Everything was super clean. Bathroom tip top. The host was always available and answered quickly. If we go on vacation to Calabria again, we will definitely stay in this accommodation.

Beautiful Villa with stunning coastal views
The house is very comfortable, updated and tastefully decorated. Air conditioning in all rooms. The large patio with infinity pool overlooking the coast is the highlight of the house and is worth the stay and makes it feel like you can enjoy the ocean without leaving the house. Once you can see the northern part of Sicily from the house and with clear skies also the Aeolian Island. The house is located near Capo Vaticano, it is quite easy to reach, about 20 minutes from Tropea. Several beautiful beaches nearby. Shops and restaurants are nearby. Communication was excellent and professional. We hope to return. A real gem!

Wow!
Wow! We stayed at Villa Marchito for our wedding at Il Faro (up the road). The villa is in the most perfect setting with breath taking views across the bay. We know the area and can safely say this is top notch, head and shoulders above the rest in terms of design, quality, layout and comfort. Francesca made sure our stay was perfect from start to end, including a very thoughtful bouquet of flowers to congratulate us. We were so moved. Hospitality like this doesn't exist anywhere else. Thank you, we will be back!

This house has such a great design
We were 3 couples, who all felt we had privacy as well as lots of gathering space. The home is nicely decorated but the view outshines everything. The view from the house, patio and pool were all spectacular. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions and did everything they could to make sure everything was perfect. We felt we really could not have found a better house!

This place is WONDERFUL
It has everything you need, and if anything was needed to be fixed at all then it was all dealt with so very quickly. The place was so clean and once we had got into the habit of lighting the mosquito candles we really had no problems at all. The view was breathtaking and never stopped shocking me. We would be back - a wonderful place to stay.
