What a beautiful property with lovely people (Susan and Angelo) managing it! My husband and I so enjoyed our 4 night stay here. We were very comfortable and everything that we needed was provided. The view out of all the windows and from the outside terrace were just amazing! We will have those views and all the memories of that special little town for years to come! Thank goodness for cell phone cameras to keep those memories with us! Thanks for a great stay!

Wir haben die Karwoche in Pizzo verbracht, waren zum ersten Mal in Kalabrien. Schon im Vorfeld der Reise wurden wir sehr gut informiert, die Lage der Wohnung sowie die mit Liebe und Stil eingerichtete Wohnung hat unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Vor Ort wurden wir sehr charmant und liebevoll betreut, der Schwiegervater der Vermieterin war immer ansprechbar, ohne jemals aufdringlich zu sein. Ich kann jedem, der gerne nach Kalabrien reisen möchte, Pizzo als Reiseziel empfehlen und dann auf jeden Fall diese wunderschön gelegene Wohnung. Sehr empfehlenswert und für uns gerne wieder! Georg

Pizzo, ein sehr schöner Ort an der Westküste Kalabriens, berühmt für seine Eisspezialitäten, darüber hinaus ein Platz mit sehr freundlichen, offenen und herzlichen Einheimischen. Um diesen schönen Ort wirklich genießen zu können bietet sich ein Aufenthalt im Palazzo Pizzo an. Ein mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail und geschmackvoller Einrichtung restaurierter Palazzo in der Altstadt. Wir wurden mit sehr viel persönlichem Engagement empfangen, von der Abholung/Rücktransport am Bahnhof bis hin zur Stadtführung haben wir uns sehr gut betreut gefühlt. Die Ferienwohnung ist wunderbar, mit einzigartigem Blick auf das Meer, die Terrasse idyllisch und sehr ruhig, die Einrichtung modern und mit viel Geschmack. Es ist alles vorhanden um sich wohl zu fühlen und das dolce vita zu genießen. Die Atmosphäre war so beeindruckend, dass wir sehr gerne länger geblieben wären und schon unsren nächsten Aufenthalt im Palazzo Pizzo planen. Wir bedanken uns nochmals an dieser Stelle bei der ganzen Familie Crosetto für diesen wunderbaren Urlaub. Mit herzlichen Grüßen Natalia und Peter

From the warm Calabrian welcome of Tonino to the amazing views from every window, this apartment exceeds any photo and is grand beyond belief. Well appointed, the kitchen calls to your own exploration of local ingredients which the shop keepers just out side the main piazza are extremely helpful with. They are eager to share recipes & tastes. Susanne's book of recommendations was a great place to start and we found the local waiters at L'ercole gelatorria could assist in connecting you from Ape taxis ( a must do on the narrow streets - beats any ride at Disney) and fishing. Dani at Calabria Sport Fishing provided a local experience of catching tuna in Tyranean sea. We would highly recommend staying at the Palazzo in early October as the weather was warm, a day at the beach still possible and few crowds so a seat for gelato was always available. Though we had no car, I would recommend it if you want to explore the surrounding areas. Grazie Susanne and Tonino for a rejuvenating week!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Palazzo Pizzo. The location of the apartment is perfect—easy walking distance to the main square, restaurants and marina, but very quiet and private-- it feels a world away. Unlike many vacation rentals, this apartment is actually lovelier in reality than in the photos. There are world class views from the private terrace, the kitchen and even the bathroom. Angelo was the perfect host and guide, showing us all the highlights (including the very important tips on where to park!), pointing out the best restaurants, shops and cafes. After we unloaded the luggage, Angelo hopped in the car with us and guided us through the narrowest streets we have yet seen in Italy, which while still a bit hair-raising was far better than us trying to sort it out on our own. (By the end of our stay, we had mastered the routes in and out of town—as Angelo calmly assured us we would.) Both he and Tonino went out of their way to be sure everything was just right for our stay. Pizzo was a great introduction for us to the Calabrian coast. As Californians, we are spoiled for beautiful sandy beaches, but Pizzo and environs did not disappoint. Unfortunately, as we were there in March, the weather was not quite warm enough for us to take full advantage and we hope to come back again in early summer or fall. In the three days we spent in Pizzo, we had the best seafood ever. We highly recommend La Lampara, where Joseph and his brother Paolo prepared delicious fresh dishes, including the local pasta, fileja, with clams and mussels in a light tomato broth and a mixed seafood grill. Both speak excellent English, and were happy to guide our choices and prepare things to our taste. After visiting the Monday market in Tropea (we were told it would be pretty quiet there in the off season—if so, I’d hate to see it in summer—it was a huge market with just about everything imaginable—and filled with shoppers) we wanted to get away from the crowds so we headed to Vibo Marina for lunch. From the moment we were greeted by the maitre de Franco until the complimentary glass of sweet wine, lunch at Lapprodo was an amazing experience—highly recommended. We can easily understand why it has a Michelin star; the surprise was how warm and friendly the welcome.
