After a long days drive from Barcelona we were done with driving and took the off ramp in Ventimiglia and started looking for a hotel. My wife glanced down a side street and saw the Calypso so we stopped and walked back to the hotel. At the time we just wanted a room but what luck to find a hotel... More

This is an awesome place to stay. It is very close to the train station, the shops, and the sea!!! The breakfast is modest but good enough to make me full. I think, this is a family run hotel, and they are simply great. The hotel is seem to be well maintained and i love the interiors.

We visited Ventimiglia for a week and stayed in this small but rather neat hotel with the most spectacular service and friendliness you could imagine in Italy. Without the staff the hotel would not be what it is. Thank you for a great visit.

We had only a very short overnight stay in Ventimiglia as we changed trains on the way through to Turin. We arrived late to a very warm welcome, and the hosts did everything they could to make our stay a pleasant one. We had to leave early in the morning to catch the train and were presented with a great... More

This hotel was a nice cozy base for a visit to Monaco. It was only about a 10 min stroll to the train station. That being said, Ventimiglia itself was a lovely town and great for walking around and eating out. The hotel itself was very clean and pleasant. The room, while small, was very comfortable, and had a nice... More
