Hotel Ipomea Club  

On Italy's Tyrrhenian coast in Ricadi — in the fishing village of Santa Maria near Capo Vaticano and Tropea. This waterfront beach hotel sits minutes from Spiaggia Santa Maria and Grotticelle Beach, with the Museum of the Sea and Tropea a short drive away. Expect a private beach and easy access to local coves and coastline.

Spread across low-rise buildings set in lush gardens, the property has roughly 50 guestrooms and suites. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with minibars, satellite TV, laptop-compatible safes, hairdryers and private bathrooms with showers (many with bidets). Superior rooms boast terraces or balconies with sea views. The hotel operates seasonally and is closed from October 2 to May 20.

Soak in a seasonal outdoor pool, kids' pool and hot tub, or stroll down to the hotel's private stretch of sand. The place offers a massage room and solarium, plus a diving club for underwater days. Bar options include a beach bar and a poolside bar; there’s also a café and on-site restaurant. Practical touches: onsite parking, tour desk, shuttle service (surcharge) and complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property — wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and easy coastal days.

Conference hall and meeting space for events, complimentary wireless internet across the property, 24-hour reception, wedding services and train-station pick-up available. Shuttle service and onsite parking help with group logistics.

Two on-site restaurants — including Le tre Modelle — plus a bar/lounge, beach bar and poolside bar. Buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:00 for a fee, and limited room service is available.
