Touristhotell outside of Parghelia in the vicinity of Tropea. Me and my boyfriend were there through a Swedish agency Solresor, July-August 2011. It was 6-7 other Swedish couples there and otherwise mostly tourists from northen parts of Italy. Area: The Hotel is located by a road with intense traffic, no opportunities of walking to talk about. We walked to quite... More

The Hotel Santa Lucia is an old fashioned Italian resort hotel. The rooms with sea views are worth seeking out - if you have to pay a little extra it will be worth it! The external facilities (swimming pool etc) are excellent but inside the decor and facilities are a little outdated. The food is typical of this sort of... More

Stayed here for three nights. While the hotel grounds are nice enough, the rooms are barely a 3 star quality and the shower in the bathroom I wouldn’t even expect in a 2 star hotel. No shower gels, just 2 small bars of hand soap and a shampoo sachet, and a shower cap. On the website it says that all... More

We have just returned from three wonderful days at the Santa Lucia, two of them gloriously sunny in mid October! We watched the most fabulous sunsets from our balcony overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and thoroughly enjoyed using the hotel pool, its associated snack bar and the gorgeous grounds. The shuttle bus into lovely Tropea is a bonus and necessary as... More

This is a lovely Hotel and has a free shuttle bus that takes you into town which takes 5-8 mins, If you love walking obviously it will take much longer but no lights at night and hilly, not for people with walking disabilities though but the free shuttle bus was excellent and the driver was such a nice man. Hotel... More

If you have never been to Italy before you will be amazed how beautiful and unspoily this part of Italy is. I wasn't expecting palm trees, banana trees and cactis and amazing crystal clear turquoise sea or the glorious temperatures in early October !! The hotel gardens are beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised that the Santa Lucia is worthy of... More

I have just returned from this hotel after a 3 day break and can only feel sorry for the people who were staying longer. I can only describe the food as revolting - I do understand they have to make a profit and the trip was a quick getaway and was not expensive. But, to serve up spaghetti with leftover... More

We went October 2009, ok the weather wasn't brilliant but the food we found was just right, a good mix of choice, very healthy, tasty and well balanced, good clean hotel and staff very friendly (well most of them, considering it was the end of the season). The area is brilliant, but its a long way from an airport, we... More

We found this bargain holiday on Teletext and booked it about a fortnight before departure with absolutely no idea what to expect. On the journey from the airport we went through a rather nasty looking town and past something that looked a bit like an oil refinery (which we were convinced would be our destination), so our first feeling upon...
