Amazing Hotel in a horrible horrible town
First off let me say that this is an very good hotel. A lovely old building that is tastefully renovated in an old Italian style. The surrounding gardens and pool are also lovely. HOWEVER it is located in a town called Soverato which is a somewhat deserted (in mid Sept) little dirty place that consists of about 80 tower blocks that look like they were put up in a hurry 20 years ago. There were virtually no restaurants open and the ones that were seemed sorry to have the business. The beaches in the area were dirty and covered in trash and cigarette butts. We were meant to be staying 4 nights but cut our stay short to 2. We lost the money on the 2 days and ended up going to a place called Tropea instead. I won't be back to Soverato and I doubt I'll ever go to Calabria again either. Rethink and go to Tuscany or Como instead.
