    There was some confussion about the parkings. In fact best is to stop at the parking north (5 minutes walk) and after check-in place the car on the free parking south (15 minutes walk and going up and down). Also for breakfast (there is alarge choice) it was not clear if you had to choose or could combine multiple things.

    Very nice place, very nice people. They took the luggage the 32 steps up and offered a drink in the (excellen) (wine)bar. I can also recommand the restaurant

    The location was excellent, and the staff could not of been more helpful. It was also great being above the bustling wine bar and whenever we had a drink there was always people to chat to or to just soak up the atmosphere, your staff are exceptional

    Let's talk coffee: It was awful EVERYWHERE, not just Scilla but Tropea as well. I'm a fan of Colombian and Mexican coffee, but I can usually drink any coffee blend they have in italian bars. Maybe it was the heat, but every cup I tasted in Scilla felt as if they'd roasted the beans with a flamethrower (espresso machine included). Cappuccino was pretty decent at Casa Vela though!

    Staff was awesome. Very attentive, ready to accompany you to medical emergency services (my wife had a strong reaction to an insect bite in her lip), and prompt at providing indications and helping any way they could. Location, just a 15-minute walk from Marina di Scilla, which is a gorgeous bay surrounded by a green valley, with the clearest purest sea water (beware of medusas!). Room was spacious enough, an "open space" bedroom with kitchen and dining room, fridge and freezer. Mattress was perfect. Most vacation places we booked in the past, mattresses were too soft. Theirs was just perfect. The head of the bed was quite original (a door!). They also have a bottega with local food specialties (I was very pleasently surprised with their arancino al pesce spada). Breakfast was good, as was dining (swordfish hamburger and other plates were really yummy).

    Terrible mouldy smell that was present all the time.

    Excellent location and staff were very helpful. Good basic facilities, kitchen needed dishwashing detergent. Premises were clean and spacious, fresh towels and comfortable bed.

    No complains. I wish we had stayed for more days

    Located within walking distance of seafront walk, city center and parking. The view from our room was the ocean. The place also has a restaurant offering Calabrian specialties and great wine. Staff was super friendly. Charming street in the best part of town.

    Bare bones stuff- soap satchel, no hair drier. If the owner can make it more lively and put some investment in the property it will look great. Poor quality lightening and below average looking place. Felt like an old student dorm. Checking in was not smooth. Had to call the host using my international number to make local call for them to come and check us in.

    Close to ferry and excellent views.

    1) the appartement above us had people with two dogs, kids and adult walking with heels, moving furniture etc on wooden floor. The noise in our room was such that forced us to leave the room and stay out as much as possible 1) we noticed the bed sheets were not fresh
