We had a very pleasant stay for one night, and found the hotel to be quiet, comfortable, and serene. The check-in was very quick and easy, followed by a restaurant right on site that does a wonderful dinner as well as a complimentary Italian breakfast. The pool is cozy and received plenty of sunlight, and the room was comfortable along with a top notch A/C and a stocked mini fridge. We’ll certainly stay again next time we’re in town

Fabulous!

Immediately upon arrival, I was greeted with incredible friendliness & helpfulness. This is a family run business, and everyone was invested in making sure the stay was pleasant and that you had everything you needed. I had a few challenges and the whole family helped out from picking me up at the train station, to getting me a last minute car hire. I have never stayed at a hotel where the people were so helpful and kind! The restaurant on site was incredible; I ate there every night. The food absolutely stellar, as well as an incredibly organized and friendly staff. My room was clean & comfortable. I appreciated that the room has an outside area with chairs to sit after a long day out and about. I will miss my friends that I made while staying there, and will absolutely return. Grazie mille per tutto!

We loved our stay at Hotel Borgo Di Santa Barbara. Easily communicated with hotel manager Martina throughout the duration of our stay through WhatsApp - scheduling transit and shuttles from Aurelio (staff). They were extremely nice our entire stay. The restaurant located on the property La Locanda was amazing, great food, nice and quiet patio outside. Would recommend staying here and would come back!

We had to stay at this property unexpectedly after our other accommodations fell through and we discovered a gem! The owner greeted us and checked us in early upon arrival. She was so welcoming and helpful! The vibe of the property is chill and relaxing 😌 We enjoyed a wonderful lunch by the pool (they grow their own vegetables!) and a great dinner at the restaurant on site. My only regret was not staying longer! I 100% recommend!

An sich sind wir sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft. 4 Sterne finde ich allerdings etwas viel. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist eigentlich nur ein Tisch voll, leider nicht wirklich viel, Auswahl. etwas Gemüse könnte hier auch dabei sind oder Rührei etc. Sehr schade, dass das Wasser beim Frühstück nur zum Schein in die Glasflaschen abgefüllt ist. Man benötigt unbedingt ein Auto vor Ort. Die Zimmer sind vollkommen ausreichend und sehr sauber, hier gibt es nichts zu bemängeln. Der Pool ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und stinkt etwas nach Algen. Ansonsten kann man sich nicht beschweren. Pool Service haben wir keinen gesehen wir überall drin steht.

We ended our Europe trip with a week at Hotel Borgo di Santa Barbara and it was the perfect choice. The property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful, a great place to unwind. You can relax by the pool or head to Tropea beach, which is just a short drive away. The breakfast each morning was delicious with a variety of options, many of them homemade. The family who owns and runs the hotel is incredibly welcoming and their hospitality really stands out. Everything was also very clean and well taken care of. We had such a wonderful stay and would love to return someday.

Todella siisti hotelli ja mahtava henkilökunta. Uima-allas ok, vähäisellä käytöllä vielä toukokuussa. Tarvitset auton tai skootterin liikkumiseen, henkilökunta kyllä auttaa keksimään tekemistä jos omat ideat loppuu. Hyvä ruokaravintola. Huone siisti, mutta aika pieni, terassi antoi lisätilaa koti-iltaan. Junarata ihan vieressä, huom jos olet huono nukkuja (vähän liikennöity kuitenkin).

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Borgo di Santa Barbara and I can't express how wonderful our experience was! From the moment we arrived, the staff (special thanks to Martina, Aurelio, and Barbara) was pleasant and very helpful. The rooms were nicely decorated, spacious, and clean. The restaurant on the hotel's property was nothing short of amazing. It was our chosen spot for both breakfasts and dinners while staying at Borgo di Santa Barbara. Overall, my stay at Borgo di Santa Barbara exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with fantastic food and outstanding service! Peter
