Big room, very clean, big and lovely yard. The owners are very nice and friendly, and you must try Rocco’s trip with the ‘took took’

‘As you set out for [insert place] hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery.’ CP Cavafy Ithaca Named after Scylla, a beautiful but dangerous maiden in Homer’s Odyssey, we wondered what we would find in modern Scilla. A labyrinth of streets worthy of the Cretan minotaur navigated only with the aid of the modern equivalent of Ariadne’s thread – set your sat nav! – we found Chiara’s warm welcome, beautifully equipped room and comfortable bed far superior to anything Odysseus experienced. Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the straits of Messina was another simple delight – both culinary and visual. We asked about a restaurant for our evening meal – Chiara’s father loaded us into his comfortable motor-tricycle and took us there – and fetched us back. We would still be trying to find our way and would never have enjoyed the excellent swordfish – a must in this town.

Having to leave the next morning..........

Fantastic place. Feels like a home. Stayed only one night but I will come back for sure..

It had a lovely terrace with fabulous view. It is ideal for those travelling with a Motor bike since it has private parking with a gate.

Very clean and spacious

Nothing really

lovely location and Chiara and her dad Rocco were great. gave us a lot of info on the town & where to go. Helped with secure parking for the bike.

The view and the open space of the patio are amazing! We got the best suggestions about where to eat .and how to use the free shuttle to enjoy Chianalea at the best!

Despite what I will say under ´negative´, I liked the location. The property is located at a point high above the sea. There is a very pleasant terrace with some nice chairs as well as a dining table. I enjoyed sitting there, reading my book and overlooking the sea. My room was spaceous and comfortable.

People without their own transport should think twice before booking here. The place is about 30 minutes walk from down town along some very steep roads. There is a lift in the town centre that takes you along the steepest part but even then it is along slog getting to the property. Nevertheless I thought the place was worth the effort.
