We didn’t have an issue with it. But if you’re no fan of stairs than this may be an issue.

Close location to the beach and small cafes. My partner and I got the studio. Everything was nice and clean and it was a generous sized room with kitchenette, that had everything you needed.

The staff were all so lovely and welcoming. They even waited to help get us checked in after our flight arrived late. The location is just perfect, serene and easy to travel to on the train from Reggio or even Tropea where we did a day trip to. Altogether it was a lovely and perfect little stay and I hope to be back

I am very afraid of cats and there were too many around for me to completely relax

The staff here were so so friendly and accommodating. The room at the top floor had amazing balcony with a gorgeous sea view.

Some lights didn't work, and hot water ran out quickly once. Was cold without the air conditioning in March (understandably so).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The balcony and the sea view are the absolute highlights. The flat is spacious and has most things needed for a not-so-long stay. The staff at the wine bar downstairs are very friendly and helpful, which made us feel at home. The cleaning service was nice :)

The staff were extremely friendly and welcomed us with a dink. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. We had a lovely room with a fantastic view of the sea. We wish we had more time to enjoy Scilla. We'll be back again. Thank you!

It was a long way from any supermarket.

Great location on a lovely street. The room was large, with a balcony with a seaview and a view of the castle, and very clean. Good sized fridge. Breakfast was exceptional and served in the wine bar, loved the lemon pastries! The food at the wine bar is also very good with lots of other good restaurants nearby which have platforms over the sea. Good location for the beach too (if you use the tunnel under the castle). Would definitely recommend.

Nestled in above and behind a wine bar with a separate entrance, lovely quiet comfortable room, well decorated and all amenities needed for a short stay. Great location and friendly welcoming staff. The breakfast did not work out as planned, perhaps we should have brought the menu down with us, but we don’t eat a huge amount anyway so wasn’t much of a problem for us. Would recommend and return:)

We knew that access to the apartment involved a lot of stairs. Unfortunately I found them challenging (I am not very steady). Some were very steep and a small section had no rail. We would love to go back but next time we will stay in one of the lower apartments!

The apartment was lovely. Very spacious and clean. We had a view over the rooftops to the sea. Nice breakfasts. The wine bar on the ground floor served excellent regional food and wine. People were very friendly and helpful. Location was good. In the old fishermen's quarter which is lovely but we could easily walk to the beach and the town.

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

The stairs....And the info to get there.

The staff were amazing!

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).

Position is fantastic 😊 scilla is beautiful 😍 I don't think the people who run the bar care to much on who's coming or going no personal host here

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.
