    A great one bedroom apartment with sea views

    This was a perfect apartment for us - it was very convenient to the main road out of town enabling us to visit numerous fascinating Calabrian towns and sites. Stefania, was a fantastic host, she met us on arrival, was very friendly and helpful throughout. Prior to our arrival, her husband Giovanni sent us clear directions to the apartment. They live in the building so it was easy to contact them. I can see some confusion in the reviews - the listing is not completely clear that there are two apartments - both on the ground floor. We stayed in the one bedroom which has the spacious open-plan kitchen living dining area, a terrace with a seating area and nice views - particularly in the evening - when we sometimes had stupendous sunsets! We missed out on having the larger terrace but were pleased nevertheless as it was nice having the open space room with large patio doors. The place was immaculate, and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable - we slept well after our long days travelling!

    The location of the property is fabulous with panoromic views of the sea. One of the best properties we have stayed at over the years. The hosts are very helpful and among the best we have ever come across. We would rate the property well above the 10, if that were the option

    Located slightly out of town but an easy walk down to the Centro Storico where the restaurants and bars are located. Accommodation is a self-contained 2 bedroom apartment with a lovely large balcony area. Spotlessly clean and fully equipped kitchen.

    The apartment was beautiful, especially the terrace!! The owner really looks after the apartment and it was my favourite in the whole of Italy!! The town is about a 5 minute walk away and it's beautiful too. The area is very relaxing!

    Very very odd they do not have hot water connected in the kitchen.

    The parking and location were brilliant. The view was to die for and it was just so relaxing and comfortable. It had everything we needed including a washing machine and Netflix. Some people stated it did not have a couch but it did. The kitchen had an oven and a microwave. The owners were lovely and went out of their way for us. They sent us pictures before we arrived which really helped as you would drive past the driveway if you did not know it was there. We had one of our best stays. 5 minutes to the beach by car (15 min walk). Two minutes to the supermarket (5 min walk). Wonderful. Highly recommend.

    Fabulous place with amazing views and wonderful host, Stefania, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Everything you needed for a comfortable stay, close to supermarket and minimart. Yes it is a distance from the station but Stefania kindly collected us, not only when we arrived but also after we did a day trip to Diamante. The steps to the old town were challenging for my husband so we went up and down by road which he managed well even with a sore knee.

    the shower was on the small side and missed having a couch to relax on when the weather was less inviting to sit on the terrace.

    wonderful reception upon arrival and the view from the terrace was stunning, especially at sunset.

    There was no hot water at the kitchen sink, we don’t know if it was a temporary issue.

    Very nice apartment, well presented, lovely views from the large balcony. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best and so couldn’t make use of the outdoor seating and unfortunately there is no indoor lounge area. Located at the top end of town with easy access by car from the main roads, we would suggest not driving into the middle of town as the roads are very narrow with no parking. The hosts are extremely helpful with suggestions of places to visit before arriving and help with anything else you need whilst there.

    Nothing. It was all excellent. The weather could have been better during our stay as it was raining heavily both days. However, that has nothing to do with Vista Stromboli.

    We had 2 excellent, newly renovated fully equipped apartments for the 5 of us for our short stay. The apartments are spotless, tastefully appointed and everything functioned well. Our hosts, Stefania, her husband and brother were awesome. So friendly and helpful. they picked us up and dropped us off at the train station (even at 6:30am). they recommended places to eat and things to see and would respond to any queries promptly. Very highly recommended!
