    Excellent property located in the heart of the upper town of Scilla. The room was modern, very clean and spacious, with a lovely balcony. Close to a bar and the main square too. There’s a really nice osteria opposite for food which is also recommend!

    There is nothing serious to point out

    Locations was excellent, and we had fine communication with a host. We travelled off season, so it was easy to find a parking, all spots marked white are free, probably more difficult in the full season. Also, there is no breakfast off season, but with this price it's not a problem. We needed a place to stay for one night, and we loved Scilla, too bad we didn't have more time to relax there.

    There is no dedicated parking so you have to drive around until you find something on the street. In the heat of summer with a lot of luggage we ended up a few blocks away which was far from ideal but I guess not everyone arrives by car.

    Great little B&B with bright & modern rooms. Centrally located with easy self check-in and decent breakfast.

    It was a basic room, ground floor next to the entrance/breakfast area was a bit strange, air conditioning was noisy and there was a smell in the room when we got in first (would be good to air out before a new guest comes).

    Landlady was so helpful, she deserves 10. Waited for us to arrive till midnight and helped us to find parking. The room was clean and in the center.

    Worst experience of my 2 month trip to Italy.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 4 nights

    No one there and door locked upon arrival. When I emailed, response was that I should've notified her of my arrival time in advance. Room was between stairs and front door and opened onto lobby/breakfast area. Very noisy. Asked to be moved at check in and was told there was an available room but would have to pay more to be moved. Music at 11:30PM and noisy breakfast at 7:20AM. Very difficult to sleep. I left after one night and forfeited the cost of the next 3 nights stay just to get out of there. The owner was rude and told me I should not be traveling alone. (21 yrs old and traveling between a job in Verona to a job in Sicily. Stopped here for a mini vaca before next job.) She refused to move me without additional money and would not refund any of the unused nights even though I told her when I checked in that I would be leaving in the morning because I could not sleep in such a high traffic, noisy area. She was the rudest person I met during my 2 months in Italy.

    Location was beautiful.

    Parking very difficult near apartment. Had to lug cases a long way. Also we were at the top of the house and steep stairs with suitcases for 75 year old were concerning.

    Quiet and very clean.

    The host was not there at the agreed time of arrival. Extremely unfriendly and we were made to feel very unwelcome. Even worst the property is at the top of a very steep hill, totally unsuitable for those who are elderly or with young children.

    I liked how clean and tidy the house and our room was. We were given a room on the 1st floor with a small balcony. It's a plus to have a functional kettle and be able to have a cuppa whenever we feel like (apart from the morning when the host is looking at you in a way that makes you feel like something is amiss)
