Nothing!! Everything was perfect!!!

Family run business that is so welcoming and amazing. Emilio and Lina, along with the staff went above and beyond. They sincerely love all Their guests and treat them like family. The place is very central to everything and the breakfast is made by the beautiful mama Lina. Definitely will back just to stay with them :)

A place to truly feel comfortable – beautifully furnished with great attention to detail. Spotlessly clean and tidied up daily. The location of the accommodation couldn’t be better, in the city center and also very close to the beaches. The staff were wonderful – very attentive, extremely friendly, and always with a smile!

Absolutely nothing! it was beyond perfect!

This place was hands down the best hotel to stay in Tropea! The property itself was stunning, and the staff went above and beyond—so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The hotel’s location was perfect, right in the heart of Tropea, and everything was within walking distance. The breakfast area, located on a gorgeous top-floor balcony, was an absolute highlight. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or a more enjoyable stay. Special thanks to Emilio for welcoming us, for being incredible helpful and friendly and making us feel so at home, and to Lina, who prepared the delicious cakes for breakfast. She was not only warm and welcoming but also kindly drove my daughter and me to the train station with our luggage. We’ll definitely be back next year. The beds were comfy, and the apartment was spotless. I highly recommend this place—it was truly amazing!

This place truly deserves the highest rating! Above all, I want to highlight the incredible kindness and hospitality of the hosts – from the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcome. The hosts were always ready to help, even assisting us in getting to the train station, for which we are extremely grateful. The rooms are of a very high standard – clean, comfortable, and modern. Every day we could count on fresh towels and beach umbrellas, which made our beach days so much easier and more enjoyable. The location is just perfect – there’s a grocery store right nearby, and it’s only a short walk to the old town, restaurants, and the beautiful beach. Everything you need is within easy reach, which made our stay even more relaxing. Thank you so much for everything – for your warmth, hospitality, and the wonderful, family-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for not just a comfortable stay, but also a place with a true heart in the center of Tropea, we highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back!

There is nothing to fault and we’d love to return to Donna Giovann’s. The only drawback is the stairs for anyone with mobility impairment.

The hosts Emilio and Mrs Bruno are exceptional, very polite and helpful. They went out of their way to welcome us and make us feel at home . The young employee is also very nice and sweet. The location of the hotel is extremely central, very close to the restaurants, shops, the main stairs that lead to beach and the viewing gallery to see the sunset and Stromboli. The room is like a small apartment. The decor is impeccable. Everything is new, well kept with a beach feel. The rooms were spic and span with everything necessary. Breakfast was ample and served on the well decorated roof terrace. The hotel even provided beach towels and umbrellas. For dinner they recommended some lovely restaurants for traditional Tropean meals. The hotel made the necessary arrangements for parking and both times accompanied us to the parking place.

This place is a true gem in the heart of Tropea – just like Tropea itself is the pearl of Calabria. The accommodation is run by incredibly kind-hearted people who put all their love and dedication into what they do. From the very beginning, you can feel a warm, family-like atmosphere that makes you feel at home rather than just a tourist. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with great attention to detail. It’s a perfect spot to relax – peaceful, charming, and full of warmth. I highly recommend it to anyone looking not just for a comfortable stay, but for a place with soul and heart. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We couldn't stay longer. 😊

Everything about Residenza Donna Giovanna was first class. The staff were outstanding, our room was clean, fresh, modern, spacious, and secure. Without hesitation, I would recommend to anyone wanting a hassle free, pleasurable stay in beautiful Tropea. Special mention to Lena, the owner who treated us like family and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable for all the right reasons. We will be back.
