La Bussola Hotel Restaurant

On Capo Vaticano's sun-soaked coast in Ricadi, minutes from Spiaggia del Tono and Grotticelle Beach and about 6 km from Tropea. This family-friendly, pet-friendly beach hotel sits close to Torre Marrana, the Museum of the Sea and the Capo Vaticano lighthouse — ideal for seaside days and short local excursions.

Family-run since 1973 and fully renovated, the hotel offers 32 rooms across the main building and an annex. Rooms open onto private balconies or terraces and feature Select Comfort beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, satellite TV, mini-fridge, in-room safe, air conditioning and private bathrooms with rainfall showers and designer toiletries. Grounds include a large garden planted with fruit trees and palms, plus a tranquil sun terrace with sea views.

Two outdoor swimming pools set among lush greenery, a poolside bar and a beach bar, plus a complimentary beach shuttle. Rent bicycles, book babysitting (surcharge), lounge under parasols with sunbeds on the terrace, and enjoy free Wi‑Fi across the property. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight for the sand.

Three conference rooms and a business center with a computer station for meetings and events. Express check-in, train-station pick-up service, limo/town-car arrangements and free self parking are available for business travelers.
