Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Contrada Difesa II

Quirico was a dream to communicate with and so nice the place is so close to the beach. Very peaceful

We had a lovely stay at Casa Fortuna. It’s Right in the old city of Pizzo and close to the piazza and the beach. The kitchen was well-equipped and we didn’t miss anything! Paola was a perfect host and very welcoming and forthcoming!

This is a hidden gem! The most beautiful house in a stunning location. Totally tranquil and amazing hosts. Wish we could have stayed longer!

If you want to have a quiet vacation, this is the place to be. The surrounding area is very quiet and the beach right in front of the house is also not very busy. The beach bar is also great. The accommodation was very clean and all utensils, as well as basic spices, were also provided for cooking. Giuseppina was very friendly, always responded very quickly and was very helpful. We will definitely recommend this place and hopefully come back soon.

We were greeted by the father-in-law who helped us with the suitcases. The house is very spacious with a large terrace where you have a beautiful view. The bed sleeps well, shower also nice. It is a small cozy village with few facilities. You have to drive down to get there. Please note, Google sends you the wrong way, always keep left when you drive up.

It was a wonderful home. A large and well-maintained landscape. Shared swimming pool right in front of your house. There will always be time to swim just for your family. Free parking right next to the house. The house is fully air conditioned. Fully equipped with dishes, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave. The house is monitored by Yuri, who can also help with everything. Speaks Russian. There is a barbecue in the yard. There are beach towels in the house. There is a private beach - with a very steep climb of 400 steps. But the beach is worth it. There are 2 very beautiful observation decks within a walking distance. In 10 min. By car there is a beautiful public beach🏝️. The nearest cafes and supermarket are within walking distance. We felt like home. Will definitely come back.

Lovely place, especially the garden. Super well located. Great communication and super flexible check-in. Well equipped kitchen. It was also great to have cooking basics in the house!

Anna was very sweet and super responsive! Her place comfortably slept 6 people! (One bed was slightly smaller than the others just as it was listed but we still made it work!) There were cute restaurants (few but with nice views) 7 minute walking distance from the air bnb. Anna was kind enough to make reservations for us as well! Her place was clean and well kept! 25 minute drive to central Tropea Beach.

Francesco's place in located in a relatively quiet place (gets quite noisy on the weekends, including loud music at the pool in the afternoon). Our kids loved the big pool! We went in the mornings, when it wasn't crowded. We also liked the beach a lot, we went in the evening, when it was quiet and the sunsets were amazing. To access the gym, one needs a key, which I was told, they only give to owners, not guests. Francesco was very kind and found a solution, so that my husband could use it. For me, a runner, the only downside of the location is no paths to run on and roads with no side. Otherwise, we loved the place! The apartment itself was small but more than enough for the 4 of us. My only complaint could be it wasn't supe clean and the kitchen equipment was quite basic (no bread knife or toaster). The air-con was great :) Francesco was always available for questions via messages and replied swiftly. All in all, I would definitely recommend the place! Thank you, Francesco :)

The house is wonderful. Magnificent views and ample space to enjoy a holiday of quality and tranquility. Highly recommended because it is also close to Tropea and many fantastic sea areas, but with the possibility of also enjoying a beautiful "condominium" sea.

Overall this place was exactly as advertised. Beautiful views and and amazing outdoor area that we took full advantage of, including the relaxing outdoor shower. Private parking and a quick drive to anywhere you needed to get to. I would highly recommend staying here 10/10

Great place to stay, security was top notch in a gated community , we felt at ease for the children to play. We really enjoyed the pool especially on the days the ocean was too wavy to swim in. Overall the villa is a great size , well maintained and much more modern than the other villas that were for rent. Antonio is by far respected by my family and I, he was very communicative & suggested good restaurants to munch at . He maintained the property during our stay and cleaned the pool multiple times ! We will be back again

Great area, a few kilometers north of Pizzo Calabro, 500 meters from a large beach that can be reached on foot through a fragrant pine forest. Spacious and fully furnished apartment. The residence where it is located has two swimming pools, one with a water slide, tennis courts and soccer fields. Excellent hospitality from the owners, kind and helpful. Recommended to everyone.

Since we arrived at the time we left, Alessandro was an absolutely fantastic host. Upon our arrival, he personally welcomed us, helping us with luggage and giving us a tour of his beautiful apartment. He also gave us great tips for breakfast and nearby beaches to visit. During our stay, Alessandro was readily available to answer all our questions whenever we sent him a message. The apartment is a short walk from wonderful beaches, has an incredible view of the sea and a large terrace that was perfect for watching the sunset or having our coffee in the morning. Looking forward to booking this beautiful apartment again!

We really enjoyed the time at the place. Purposefully furnished, everything you need. Close to the sea, really great and very clean water at the end of May before the season. A restaurant within walking distance, the pizza there is great, but also the fish dishes. From 01.06, there is also a bar on the beach and on weekends the Jugaad Lounge is very cozy. The fact that we were right at the entrance gate of the house did not bother us. There are loungers and a beach umbrella. If you take the umbrella stand to the beach, nothing will fly away. There are great gelaterias and restaurants in Davoli max 10 min by car. We had perfect 7 days and only missed the pool a little, which should have been filled on 06/01. The people there and the fantastic landscape made up for it. ;-)

Astrea Apartment was the most unique and memorable stay of our trip to Italy. The luxury of a large private garden overlooking a breathtaking view of Tropea and the water - all to ourselves - was fantastic. The house itself was clean, beachy, and very comfortable. A quick thank you to Francesco, who was extremely thorough, friendly, and accommodating to all of our needs. If you’re visiting Tropea (which you definitely should), you should enjoy your stay here at Astrea Apartments.

Comfortable two-room apartment, there was everything to be able to stay in peace ...the area requires to be motorized as it is a little isolated from the nightlife... since it is an apartment building, the amenities are more than enough and in line with the described... quiet place for families who can move by car to reach the tourist attractions nearby.

The stay was amazing. This is the first time I have met with such hospitality and willingness to help from the host. The apartment was perfectly equipped. There was literally everything that could be needed. The view from the huge terrace is wonderful. Very close to the beach, which in June was almost empty, also very close to a restaurant with very good food and very nice service. I highly recommend it.

Lovely house in olive grove. Beautiful view. Well equipped kitchen. Gioditta was a great host, responded quickly and picked us up after we left wrong. Follow the instruction with the road. You can't use Google Maps if you're coming from the south. Nice walk to village. We got to look at the olive harvest. I would recommend the place if you need peace and quiet.

What an incredible experience to stay on the cliffs of Tropea! We’ll be back…

Marco’s place was great. We loved walking into the historic town from the accommodation. We were able to prepare meals in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was appreciated. Thanks Marco!

We were in the area for 3 days researching our Southern Italian family roots. From the location close to the tiny towns in the mountains to the sea, it was perfectly situated between both. There was coffee and goodies for a light breakfast - and a nice balcony porch to enjoy the morning and evenings. We definitely will stay here on any future visits.

Massimos place was absolutely perfect. He was the best host - even waited up until 11pm for our unexpected late arrival. Knew we were starving called a restaurant ahead of time to stay open for us and drove us there! Steps from the beach and they provide you with everything you need. It was especially great for us as we have a 2 year old. The grounds were perfect for her to run around and she loved breakfast every morning. We are already planning our next trip back 😊

Very large space, we felt comfortable there. His restaurant near the beach is also recommended. Very good cuisine with reasonable prices. We will be happy to come back.
