Residence Vardano

We stayed for five days and really enjoyed it. We were two people so the apartment was the right size and all that we needed were there. The beach is accessible and not crowded. Manuela has been very accommodating and kind.

One week stay. The residence is in a strategic position, away from the chaos but a few minutes walk from the center of Parghelia and a few minutes by car from Tropea. The beach of the residence is very beautiful. On foot you can reach the famous Michelino beach. In front of the residence there is a pizza restaurant. The residence is intimate, well looked after. I stayed in a newly renovated apartment. Very kind staff. Clean place.

My experience here was positive, I found a very quiet place close to the sea, it is actually only one kilometer from Tropea, the sea can be reached via a sufficiently short path, perhaps not suitable for people who have walking difficulties.
The rooms are not luxurious but have the necessary, and the owners are very helpful for simple needs, we needed a couple of things that were not in the house and we got them almost immediately, only one recommendation is to equip yourself for mosquitoes, in our accommodation there was no mosquito net in the bedroom and this resulted in a careful inspection in the evening, in order to avoid annoying buzzing at night.

On the advice of local relatives, I looked for an accommodation facility in Parghelia to stay near Tropea and from the website and the estimate given, this residence immediately seemed like a good solution, especially because it offered apartments with air conditioning in all rooms and beach service (and what a beach! ).
The apartment was clean and well organized with a smart kitchen located in a long and narrow area which with a sliding door also opened onto an outdoor patio where you can eat outside (there is also an awning where you open and close as you like).
The beds were really comfortable with new, good quality mattresses (which is not to be taken for granted).
The terrace overlooking the sea was beautiful (but you can't see the beach from up there) from which a path mostly starts shaded to reach the Vardano beach.
The route is made up of a downhill part and stairs which on the way back are not exactly a very pleasant walk but it is worth it especially for the spectacle of the places and the sea itself (the cliff and the Vardanello bay, plus the famous Michelino beach which can be reached either by passing over the rocks or by swimming or by pedal boat).
In the residence there is also a common area with umbrellas, deckchairs, tables for eating together and upon reservation they also grant free use of a stone barbecue.
There is also a small bar open only in the morning from around 8.00 to 10.00 where you can have breakfast with croissants made by them every morning.
