Tropea, Italy Breaks from £209pp this May!

18th February | Sarah

If Tropea has been sitting on your Italy wish list… this is your sign.

Whitewashed buildings perched on cliffs, turquoise water that genuinely rivals the Maldives, and that relaxed southern Italy pace that just hits differently.

These May dates are ideal – warm enough for beach days, quiet enough to actually enjoy it.

✈️ Getting There

You’ll fly into Lamezia Terme Airport.

From the airport, there’s a direct train taking 48 mins to Tropea, which is easy and very affordable (between £4.50-£9 depending on time chosen)

However, with the only outbound flight times available from Stansted being early evening, you may wish to consider a private transfer on arrival or hiring a car.

Train journey time: approx. 50 mins

This route is only available from London Stansted

🏨 Where You’ll Stay – Terrazzo Del Borgo

For this price find I’ve picked out Terrazzo Del Borgo in Tropea. I have personally stayed at Terrazzo Del Borgo on my trip to Tropea and it was wonderful, with a fantastic location – right in the heart of town, walking distance to everything, but still peaceful.

The rooms are modern, bright and beautifully finished, and the terraces are perfect for a morning coffee or evening wine. For the price point in Tropea, this is a really strong find.
