B&B la Torretta

Location not too far from Tropea (although please take the main road which has less incline), the room is one of 4 in a cheap bungalow with poor insulation and sound-proof. There is a nice front-yard for each room and a drying rack, be mindful that sprinkles will drench your clothes so place the drying rack properly, during check-in you won't be advised of it. Nice touch is the bottle of water in the fridge. The B&B uses facilities and check-in and outs service from the nearby B&B villa Garden. The pool is a service with additional cost of 4 euros per person, but Tropea's beach and water are nice so the pool is not needed. the parking is free and under trees for better defense against the heath! Breakfast system is questionable, you have to pre-order and no reference images so for example croissant are mini, you may fancy different things on the morning, coffee is from a machine and not very good, cold selection of savoury food but the cooked one has an additional charge. I understand that it is to avoid waste but it can be counter-productive as you may have less appetite in the morning compared to what you thought the night before. The soap attachments in the shower are at an high which for a man is not good, while turning in the shower one of them got loose and fell on my partner's foot injuring him, we noticed that the other dispenser was cracket too so similar fate happened previously. When we told the reception, along with the drying rack issue which was avoidable, the Villa garden staff was understanding but the owner of B&B la Torretta came to collect the money via POS, barely listened and did not even apologised for the injure caused (which luckily was minor and we told him as help to avoid it for other customers). The building is very cheap and heath gets trapped, the A/C truggles to keep it fresher than 27-28 degrees but at night it is ok outside so you can sleep at a comfortable temperature during the hot summer times. The bed's mattress was not good, with springs, but that is a management choice so no point giving feedback, he did not care about the injury and the wet clothes why would he care about the comfort of beds? The breakfast thing for me needs changing but other people may find it ok and enjoy it, cakes are supposedly homemade, my personal preference is to see the products (E.G I ordered salami and cheese to have with bread but the salami was the type I do not like, Milano type, had I seen it in a buffet or in a pic on the ordering website, I would not have picked it!). I do not advise to go here, maybe the Villa garden has better rooms and surely more caring staff!
