Cool, spacious and well appointed
We had a great stay at Villa Morzello, the host is very responsive and helpful. It is a very spacious villa, even with 12 adults and 2 children it did not feel crowded. It was very clean, particularly inside the villa. The rooms are cool, spacious and well appointed. The area around the pool and showers were a real bonus with plenty of shade and seats. Certain parts of the pool area could do with a refresh but we had no major issues. There is a tricky recycling system as others have mentioned but is the local system they have, not the villa itself. Santa Maria has a nice little square down the hill with a few cafes and nice restaurants. A car is recommended for the nicer beaches of Capo Vaticano.

Great!
We were 9 and had a great week at this villa. The pool area and pool house is where we hung out most of the time. Close to many beaches and Tropea. I would recommend for a large group that wants to relax and enjoy the Calabria weather by the pool. The communication with the hosts was great, very responsive when we called

A great week
We had a great week in Villa Morzello with friends and family. The house is very spacious with many different spaces for dining and relaxing, both inside and outside. The pool area is fantastic and includes an outdoor kitchen and bar, and shower room. The beds were comfortable and bedrooms were cool with air conditioning. It is a short, if rather steep, walk to the beach which is nice for swimming and there are a few bars and restaurants. We tended to go to bigger beaches a short drive away. All in all a lovely stay.

Absolutely lovely!
Villa Morzello was absolutely lovely! The views from the back patio/pool area are stunning. You can see Stromboli volcano out in the distance and on a clear night might have the opportunity to see the eruptions! The pool was wonderful, nice and big with a diving board and lots of areas to lounge around it. The umbrellas and chairs out by the pool were great. There is a nice big table outside for big family dinner which we enjoyed. The bedrooms were great for our group. The three smallest kids slept in the bunk room downstairs and the rest of us had nice spacious rooms upstairs. The villa is clean and the kitchen is fairly well equipped. There is a full bathroom downstairs near the living room/bunk room and there is a full bathroom upstairs that the 3 bedrooms share (and one of the bedrooms also has a small half bath with no shower). Outside by the pool there is a great bathroom with a big shower room with 3 separate shower heads which worked out perfectly for us with the little kids as they could all just shower easily at the same time. We did send a note to management about a few potential improvements such as better labeling on the trash cans.. But overall, the villa was wonderful and we enjoyed our time very much. The management group was also very responsive and helpful and they helped us to arrange many things. They organized 2 ladies to come and cook for us 2 of the nights we were there. The ladies were WONDERFUL! Can't recommend them enough. The same ladies also babysat for us one night and were so thoughtful with the kids (they brought pizzas to cook for the kids and popcorn for a movie night). The kids loved it! We miss those lovely Italian mamas already! The management team also arranged a great boat trip along the coast for us. A day we enjoyed very much sailing along and snorkeling in the coast of the gods! Management will also provide big water bottles for the dispenser in the kitchen and were also responsive to us when we were running low and needing another delivery. As for the area, Santa Maria is a cute little beach town with a few nice restaurants and the main beach in walking distance of the villa. Note though that it is a very steep walk down the hill to the main area. Probably not an issue for most, but we had a few young children and our 70 year old mother with us so we ended up driving down most of the time as the hill would have been difficult for them to manage. You are within about 5 min drive of beautiful Grotticelle beach in Capo Vaticano and about 20 mins to Tropea. One night we visited a local winery call Cantina Masicei, which is about 20 mins from the villa. It was a gorgeous setting in a vineyard overlooking the sea and the wines were delicious. Highly recommended. We truly loved our stay and are missing Italy and Calabria very much already!
