Description

The family Giuliano which owns the Hotel La Bussola takes great pride in their "family business" and offer guests great Calabrian hospitality.

La Bussola sits in a quite, beautifully landscaped park setting with commanding views of the Tyrrhenian Sea at Capo Vaticano, a short distance from the ancient city of Tropea.  Guests can use the hotel swimming pools (one for adults, one for families), or can access the gorgeous white sand beaches close by.

The hotel is a great place from which to organize excursions along this beautiful stretch of coast, or into the always fascinating Calabrian interior with its rugged landscape.  Just ask the hotel staff for information about the surrounding area and they will be glad to help!

La Bussola Restaurant

La Bussola also features one of the best dining experiences in the area, for intimate dining or banquets of up to 500 people.  Or perhaps you just want to tuck into one of their amazing pizzas in the on-site pizzaria.

Zesty and hearty Calabrian cuisine is on order, of course: local vegetables, cheeses, meats, fruits, and fish all find their way to La Bussola's menu.  The wine list has good wines from all over, but it also features local delicious wines.  The dessert selection is fantastic, but if you can't make a choice, you will never go wrong trying the ice cream (gelato) they make on site.  Needless to say, the coffee is magnifico!
