Tonicello Resort: your holiday between sky and sea in Capo Vaticano, near Tropea

Where every sunset becomes a legend

As you stroll through the narrow streets of Tonicello Resort & Spa, you can always catch a glimpse of the majestic profile of Stromboli, rising proudly up from the sea. An island suspended in time, with its famous plume of smoke dancing tenderly towards the sky.

All this is possible thanks to the prime position in which we are located, an elevated vantage point on Capo Vaticano from which to admire the turquoise horizon all day long.

15,000 square metres of lush gardens and fragrant paths envelope the resort. A few minutes' drive from here, you will find the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea: Tropea (just 8 km away).

By choosing Tonicello Resort & Spa for your holiday, you are sure to be within easy reach of all the major points of interest in the area without missing out on the unspoilt beauty of Calabria.

How to get to the Tonicello Resort & Spa: 

  • By car from the north
    Take the A2 Mediterranean motorway in the direction of Reggio Calabria and exit at Pizzo Calabro. From here, follow the directions to Vibo Marina and then continue along the SS522, a scenic road that passes through some of the most beautiful coastal locations in Calabria. You will pass through Briatico, Zambrone and Parghelia before arriving in Tropea, the famous 'pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea'. Continue in the direction of Santa Domenica and Capo Vaticano, where you will easily find the resort.

  • By car from the south
    Take the A2 Mediterranean motorway in the direction of Salerno and exit at Rosarno. Follow the signs for Nicotera and continue towards Joppolo, skirting the Tyrrhenian coast. From here, the road winds through Coccorino and Ricadi, two small villages surrounded by olive groves and Mediterranean scrub. After San Nicolò, the last hamlet before the coast, you will reach Capo Vaticano and our resort.
