Le Meridie Club Marco Polo

The Resort and Its Setting

Le Meridie Club Marco Polo is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, based in San Sostene, a coastal town on Calabria's Mediterranean shoreline. As an independent resort rather than part of a large hotel chain, its character and day-to-day management are tied closely to its own ownership structure rather than a corporate brand. Its RCI affiliation is the key detail for existing or prospective owners: it means a week here can be deposited into the RCI system and exchanged for stays at other RCI-affiliated resorts around the world, subject to RCI's own availability and exchange rules.

San Sostene and the Calabrian Coast

San Sostene sits directly on Calabria's coastline, an area known for its clear Mediterranean waters and relatively undeveloped beaches compared with busier parts of Italy. It's a good base for travellers who want a quieter, more authentic slice of southern Italian coastal life rather than a high-density resort strip. Within a short drive, Tropea offers dramatic clifftop views and a well-preserved historic centre with restaurants and shops; Pizzo is known for its Aragonese castle and its long-standing gelato-making tradition; and Capo Vaticano is a rocky promontory with turquoise water and coastal walking trails. Public transport in this part of Calabria is limited, so most visitors — whether owners or renters — plan on hiring a car for day trips along the coast.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Le Meridie Club Marco Polo and are thinking about selling or renting it out, you can list it directly on BidMyTimeshare.com as a private, owner-to-owner resale or rental. You set your own asking price, interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee rather than taking a cut of your sale — there's no commission on top.

Because this is an independent resort, any transfer of ownership is handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than through a large hotel brand's corporate resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its management company what the current transfer fee is, whether the resort (or its association) holds a right of first refusal on resales, and what the current annual maintenance fee is set at. None of these figures are standardised across independent resorts, so get them in writing before closing a deal.

A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded or contractual rights to the week itself, along with the obligation to pay ongoing annual maintenance fees, but does not automatically inherit any outstanding owner-specific extras (loyalty perks, prior payment plans, etc.) that don't transfer with the unit — always ask what is and isn't included before you buy.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters inquiring about a week at Le Meridie Club Marco Polo are usually drawn by the coastal location and the chance to use Calabria as a base for exploring Tropea, Pizzo, and Capo Vaticano. Since the resort sits right on the coast, proximity to the beach and the general layout of the unit (sleeping capacity, kitchen facilities) tend to be the first questions renters ask — details that owners should confirm directly with the resort, since specific room configurations aren't standardised information.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone with an active RCI membership should verify exchange availability for this resort directly with RCI before committing to a trade, as deposit windows and exchange power vary by season and unit size. Summer (June to September) is peak season on this stretch of coast, so owners renting out weeks should expect the strongest demand then, while spring and autumn offer a quieter, cooler alternative for both renters and exchangers.
