Discovering the Costa degli Dei

Inside Calabria, the Costa Bella or Costa degli Dei is a 55-kilometer stretch of coast where rocks, bays and a splendid sea alternate.

Halfway between Tropea and Capo Vaticano, within this splendid coast, stands the Suite Hotel l'Oasi di Riaci. 
The hotel specifically is located in Santa Domenica di Ricadi, in the Bay of Raci.
 
Thanks to the enviable position of our hotel, you will have all the wonders of the region at your fingertips, from the splendid Pizzo to the clear waters of the Riaci Bay.
 

Tropea

Tropea

Elected the Borgo of Italy in 2021, Tropea is one of the Calabrian destinations most loved by tourists. 
It is located just 10 minutes from the Suite Hotel L'Oasi di Riaci and can be reached easily from our hotel.
 
The church of Santa Maria dell'Isola is certainly the symbol of the city of Tropea, beautiful imposing and surrounded by the sea stands on a rock and is visible from many points of the city.

Tropea is characterized by the white of its beaches,

the blue of its sea and the red of its sunsets. The historic center is all to be explored, you get lost in the irregular cobbled streets, in the souvenir shops and in the restaurant tables. Traditional cuisine always manages to amaze even the most demanding of palates.  While thanks to a boat ride you will admire the village from a different perspective.  The combination of these elements will make you love Tropea and you will look forward to returning.
