Sunset Tropea
Property was great! Never book anything on Expedia. I spent $6000 on my trip and one activity I was denied entrance because Expedia never sent a voucher. Expedia refuses to refund my $59 even though they never gave me a voucher.

It was lovely. Breakfast terrace overlooking the beach. Breakfast was good - not great. Service was wonderful. Location right in town but quiet enough.
