Trivelig hotell med god frokost,fint bassengområde og veldig hyggelige hotell medarbeidere. Bare synd det gikk en veldig trafikkert vei rett utenfor hotellet.
Este hotel superou as minhas expectativas :))
Tudo lindo, mto bem cuidado. Café da manhã bem servido, buffet com diversas opções, inclusive salgado, além do classico corneto.
Chegamos de trem e o transfer ( Inacio) jà estava nos esperando na estação. O serviço de transfer é gratuito e nos leva até a praia.
Chegamos no hotel e fomos recepcionados com um drink (um suco delicioso) e salgadinhos e a recepcionista sentou na mesa para nos dar todas as informações.
Todos os funcionarios do hotel são super simpáticos e disponíveis!
A praia é lindíssima e ainda fica somente à 10min de trem para Troppea.
Super recomendo!!
Semplicemente spettacolare. Hotel in ottima posizione, parcheggio interno , camere nuove e pulite come anche il bagno, vista mozzafiato sul mare e il vulcano. Personale tutto professionale e di una gentilezza unica, piscina per chi la utilizza pulita e attrezzata, ristorante ampio con portate di ottima qualità e preparati a dovere, colazione ottima e abbondante. Consiglio questo hotel . Spero di tornare presto.
We loved our one week stay at La Bussola in July 2017. We stayed as a familiy with two small children, and felt so welcome our hole stay. The staff is sweet and helpful. When we had a misunderstanding about our food order at dinner, they were very flexible and made up for everything.
The childred loved the pool and playground. We liked the beach at Tropea better then the one close by (free shuttle bus) , so we drove there ourself. The food at the hotel was really good, we ate here every night.
What could be better? Well, the shower teperature is really unstable (everywhere in italy?). And I would like some more vegetables for the breakfast.
We had a really good time, and hope to come back again some other time!
For en mottakelse! utrolig hyggelige folk, nydelig mat, deilig beliggenhet og rett og slett bare fantastisk! utsikten til solnedgangen er upåklagelig. anbefales!

Un Discreto 3 Stelle, ma di una Cucina Stellare!
Senza Ombra di dubbio un Buon 3 Stelle, ma da migliorare sotto alcuni punti di vista sopratutto x quanto riguarda le sue camere mi aspettavo un po di comfort in piu, in ogni caso con qualche piccola Attenzione non ha nulla da invidiare a nessun 4 Stelle!
Il personale sempre molto gentile e disponibile.
Una Lode vanno alla ragazza della Reception ed il Maitre veramente Professionali e Cordiali. Superba la Cucina! Grazie Chef chiunque lei Sia!
ständig gleiches Frühstück - keine Abwechslung!
Rewards-Nächte werden hier nicht bestätigt!
frische Handtücher nur alle 2 Tage!
Duschwasser mal heiß mal kalt!
Pool ist ziemlich chlorig!

Hotel ok, aber ...
Aufenthalt war soweit gut. Lage ist cool weil man schnell in tropea ist und in ricadi. Allerdings ist das Frühstück bei mehreren Übernachtungen echt langweilig - Keine Abwechslung (kein Ei oder ähnliches)! Immer der gleiche Schinken, Käse, Toast und Kaffee ist für Italien wirklich ein Witz! Handtücher gibt es nur jeden zweiten Tag neu, ansonsten 3€ pro extra Handtuch! pool riecht sehr nach Chlor!
Außerdem ist das Hotel nicht in der Lage die rewards-möchte seit über einem Monat zu bestätigen!
Nous venons de passer 1 semaine (du 18 au 25 juillet 2015) très agréable à la Bussola. Nous y étions avec nos 2 enfants (9 ans et 18 mois). Le personnel est aux petits soins avec ses clients, ils ont vraiment répondu à toutes nos attentes.
L'hôtel est parfaitement équipé et d'une propreté irréprochable (chambre faite tous les jours)
Le restaurant est vraiment excellent (un petit bémol pour le petit déjeuner qui pourrait être enrichi par des jus de fruits frais et non à la machine), les pâtes sont à tomber quelque soit l'accompagnement. Seulement des produits frais sont cuisinés; les fruits et légumes proviennent du potager et des vergers attenant à l'hôtel.
La piscine est top; le soleil était au rendez-vous..... Bref c'est un grand OUI pour la Bussola.
Abbiamo soggiornato 2 notti, solo prima colazione.Noi eravamo di fianco la struttura centrale. È in una buona posizione, vicino le principali spiagge (A Grotticelle sono convenzionati con un lido) della zona raggiungibili con l 'auto o con la navetta gratuita Dell 'albergo. Il personale è molto ospitale, un ringraziamento particolare ad Angela, che ci ha dato dei buoni consigli sulle spiagge e su dove mangiare .
Visited in low season, but service was fantastic. Staff so friendly and helpful. Loved the breakfasts, the produce was home produced, and the fruit was from the garden. Loved the custard apples! Evening meals were at their restaurant down the road because it was low season, but lifts were readily offered. Restaurant very good, fresh fish featuring. Lovely bubbly house white wine. Room was clean and fresh, with a smart newly renovated bathroom. Very pleased over all.
Very nice stay in September the resturant was nice staff very efficient very clean rooms the owner and the sons are running a good and honest and friendly operation thanks to all the staff the made are stay very pleasant ciao a presto

TROP CHER
Aprés avoir parcourue plus de 1300kms, je précise en voiture. Fatigue par une autoroute de campagne désertique "la fameuse Salerno Régio Calabria" heureusement gratuite aprés plus de trente années de traveaux parfois aléatoire.J'ai été déçus de la région surtout l'état des routes un peu de réspect, des odeurs de poubelle et autre, sur les prix que propose l'hôtel ,des préstations un peu trop prétentieuse à mon avis.
Un peu de positif sur l'hôtel: bien tenue avec beaucoup de rigeur,du personnel trés professionel.Les patrons qui se font trés disgret.Je précise je suis d'Origine Calabraise et profondement deçu avec un peu de honte.
