Absolutely wonderful in every respect! The beautiful and friendly staff at this picturesque Resort & Hotel have hosted us for a stay we will never forget.
With manicured gardens and a panoramic view of the extravagant mountains in the back ground overlooking the huge swimming pool, this impeccably kept Hotel paints a true picture of Italy’s best kept secret in the South - Calabria!
My wife and I have been spoilt with kindness and warmth from the all the team and have enjoyed 5 star luxury including dining at the exclusive restaurant and relaxing in the exquisite spa.
We can only imagine what it would be like in summer if Winter was paradise.
This is the best stay of our holiday .... 10/10

Beautiful resort, located on a hill 10-15 minutes from Pizzo Calabro beach, with excellent value for money. It can be reached via two roads, one a little more convenient from Maierato and another more uncomfortable (you have to go up a narrow and tortuous climb) from the sea. The location, very quiet and peaceful, is made up of a central body with the reception, the restaurant and the SPA and a series of villas distributed in a beautiful, perfectly maintained garden. Each house is divided into three residential units, each with a patio. The furnishings are refined and the bathroom is large and comfortable. The structure is completed by the swimming pool, sports fields and a pine forest with a pond. There is also a small wellness center whose services are not included in the cost of the stay. Good and fairly varied buffet breakfast, complete with sweet and savory options. The restaurant is also good and offers quite sophisticated dishes. The offer of the pool bar is limited where it is possible to have a snack only with salad and toast. For those who stay inside the structure in the evening, the only entertainment available is the mini golf course.

I stayed with my family staying in one of the Resort's cottages. Everything is taken care of in every detail: cleaning, order, daily cleaning of the apartment and linen change. The houses are surrounded by a park full of flowers, trees and very well cared for and are located at such a distance that you do not feel the presence of other holidaymakers. Maximum comfort and great attention to the guest, but in a discreet way it is never intrusive, even the containers for separate collection are almost hidden and aesthetically pleasing. We also explored the adjacent fields, picking figs and blackberries and intoxicating ourselves with the scents of wild herbs, such as oregano.

After having traveled, coming from Pizzo, a narrow and uphill road, not exactly easy, you arrive in an enchanting place with an extraordinary panorama. Everything is taken care of with care and love. The welcome is typical of the South, courteous and friendly. The farmhouse where we slept, with two rooms for 4 people, has a large bathroom with window. Everything is taken care of in detail, minibar, safe, outdoor patio with everything you need for your stay. The pool is large and has plenty of loungers. The bar available is very comfortable, the only drawback is that it has few shaded spaces. The cuisine is of a high standard and the prices are appropriate to the level. All the staff are courteous and friendly and make you feel at ease, like being at home. Excellent breakfast in the morning with sweet and savory options.

Wonderful resort! Beautiful location with lots of greenery and a well-kept garden that surrounds the entire structure and cottages. Discovered by chance, to interrupt a long journey we stopped in Pizzo attracted by the positive reviews. Popilia Country Resort met all our expectations. We arrived in the evening, and stayed in a cottage having a small dog. Well-lit streets with clear directions (maps are also given to help you find your way around). Clean, large house, new, pleasant bathroom with adjoining terrace and garden. After dropping off our bags, we walked to dinner at the on-site restaurant, tasting excellent, well-presented dishes and very fresh tuna. Very kind staff who supported us in everything! Thanks Thomas! Super intercontinental breakfast which we enjoyed on the terrace (by our choice). We did not use the spa and swimming pool as the stay was short. Small supplement for our puppy. We received a discount voucher to visit the Callipo' Group store which is located a few kilometers away, and we stocked up on the precious Callipo tuna on super offer. We will definitely be back with pleasure

Lovely place, we stayed 1 night using the Spa with dinner and breakfast. Just enough time to regenerate, as a couple, away from chaos and problems. Everything perfect, cleanliness of the room 10/10, restaurant, service and room 10/10, courtesy and kindness 10/10. Despite the winter period, we were struck by the fact that every little detail of the outdoor spaces was still impeccable with order and cleanliness. We will return with the family because it has all the comforts and spaces for adults and children.

Chosen as the wedding location, a structure surrounded by greenery, overlooking the sea. Structure full of services, well-kept, conveys a sense of welcome. The staff is professional and very helpful, as is the kitchen team, who left us the couple and the guests satisfied with the menu!! Highly recommended!

apart from the very comfortable bed and the dream rooms with pool and panorama views...stunning place, 2-hour couple's spa program accessible to all salaries, very polite and professional staff (they even received an Amazon package for me). The environment is very comfortable and in the evening it is very suggestive and then dinner... my goodness, what dishes and what quality wines. If you go to Maierato, popilia must become a must, then when you are there you will understand why. The cleanliness is not even worth mentioning, a pearl. P.S. swimming pool max 1.20 m high, therefore also suitable for those like me who don't know how to swim.

Very pleasant experience, comfortable room with very comfortable bed and regenerating shower, particular pool space, well equipped and immersed in a suggestive environment, really nice staff (a special thanks to Donatella). The hilly atmosphere overlooking the sea is very relaxing, and the opportunity to enjoy the Spa inside the structure represents an opportunity to pamper yourself. In my opinion, a shuttle service (at least in summer) would be desirable to reach a partner beach in one of the beautiful beaches below

Surprise after surprise you arrive in this magical place full of greenery with a fantastic swimming pool and a breathtaking view of the sea. The accommodation in houses carefully scattered throughout the area makes you feel immersed in nature. Exceptional cuisine with excellent wines. Luggage transport to the room and back for the bus which relieves you of the hassle of towing the suitcase across the rustic but always smooth floor. An efficient multilingual reception.
