When I rang for help, Andrea's parents came and met us at the station - which was just as well, as although it looks a pretty short walk on the map it's up a very steep and busy road with no pavement. They were very welcoming and when we left insisted on driving us all the way to Reggio di Calabria, which was way more than we expected. The house was neat and quirky and immaculately clean, with a lovely view from the top floor. The house is up high above the beach and Chianalea (the old fishing village), in a small village with a couple of bars and one good restaurant and a pizzeria, and great views from the Piazza. There's a general food shop and a greengrocer in the next street.

You need to be fit! The balcony (where we ate all our meals) and small shower room and loo are on the top floor, bedroom on the centre floor, kitchen and another loo on GF. 2 flights of very steep steps (we had to come down backwards to feel safe) connect the floors, which is a challenge when getting up in the night. Most of the sights and restaurants etc are at the foot of the hill, which is a long, steep climb. There's a lift (1 Eu pp) but it stops at 6pm so dinner options are limited.

Cute little house in the upper town. Good communication with owner. Very comfortable stay including eating dinner on the terrace. Scilla is a wonderful resort with character, lovely beach, great bars and restaurants and a stunning situation.

Take note its a long climb up from sea level - we discovered the 1 euro elevator that goes up inside the cliff when we got to the top!

The extremely friendly meeting from the host's father. He met us en route to the house which was so lovely.. There was excellent communication from Andrea, the host before, during and after our stay. Scilla is one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. Setting is amazing. Loved visiting the Castle. 2nd bedroom is accessed up a stairs through the first bedroom. Extremely clean, airy and spacious accommodation. We loved our stay in Scilla.

Be aware that the house is set at top end of town and there are a lot of steps up. Also a lift but this is not always open.

Fantastic Host, great location in Scilla, there is everything you need at home. Big recommendation!

Everything was fine
