Staying in a grand 19th Century villa was fun. The balconies, rooms, including the communal sitting and library rooms complete with beautiful period furniture were classic. We also appreciated the very modern stylish marble style bathroom. The huge garden grounds, hedge isolated within the bustling town was a marvel. Just the breakfast nook with its jasmine, trees and hedges was far larger than my own suburban garden. Agnes, our host prepared our delightful breakfast and answered our questions. Highly recommended.

Loved it all

Loved the huge open windows and view to the old town. The amount of space in my room was fantastic. Very historic and beautiful. Bathroom was large, also with a window to open. The room in between was great to gather with my friends. Really appreciateciated breakfast in the garden and bringing eggs or things we asked for. We even had towels for the beach. Agnes, our host offered to drive us to the train station. Very welcoming here. The best place to stay in Scalea. So unique and beautiful.

The room description on Booking.com makes you think you are getting 2 bedrooms. It said I was getting 2 rooms. I kept telling my friends that perhaps they could come stay in the extra room. My friend's booking described hers also as 2 rooms. It is only 1 room, so the description needs to be changed. Very misleading. The room description should perhaps say " Unit Desciption " and the booking confirmation needs to show the exact room that is booked.

Villa itself - historical place with a lot of great features. Size of the room. Location, 10min walk to the beach and old town. Very friendly lady at the check in. Great garden and you can hear all the birds in the middle of the town when you wake up - very peaceful. Easy access.

Breakfast - it was one of the worst we had on the 3 weeks vacation. It was basic but also not good quality food (for Italian standards). I would recommend to improve it at least a bit as it's a place with great potential.

It is a beautiful old Villa on a large parcel of land in town. The size of the room was awesome, bed was very comfortable, location was great to town and to the beach. Staff was excellent and was very helpful when we had questions. The bathroom looked like it had been recently remodeled and was beautiful. The terrace was good size but unfortunately it was too cold that day/night to use. Breakfast had a lot of options.

Booking.Com indicated it was beachfront but it is several blocks from the beach.

Beautiful old Villa in a wonderful Garden. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. In touch with us prior to arrival through Whatsapp to coordinate everything. Breakfast in the garden was super relaxing. Food quality was very good, fresh and varied. The rooms were very well appointed and all looked of good quality. All appliances worked perfectly incl A/C, shower, etc. would highly recommend and would love to stay again.

Nothing that we did not like.

I always enjoy staying at this location. I always ask to not have room service as I am only there for a short duration and prefer to enjoy Scalea. The staff is always pleasant and very helpful. It is a location I will continue to stay at for the times I visit Scalea.

Absolutely nothing. Everything was great especially getting to watch Napoli win again.

Our family stayed in 2 rooms. The 2 room suite was fabulous. See standard room, below. The breakfasts were excellent (spremuta rather than box juices would have made it a 10).

The standard room on the 3rd floor was downright disappointing. It would have been good if the common rooms on the first floor, which were very nice, and the common parlor on the second floor were air conditioned.

This villa is probably the most beautiful place in Scalea: historic building, big garden, delicious breakfast under the trees, very helpful and friendly staff. Close to the old town and the sea. I highly recommend staying in this villa if you come to Scalea. Diana

Beautiful villa with garden. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. Everything was perfect. Breakfast was lovely- we were asked for our preferences and they brought it out! Parking in the back of the villa. I will definitely be coming back!

Had to buy the water.

Beautiful oasis in the city, walking distance to the piazza, market and the central storico. Fresh fruit and vegetable market set up every day right across the street. Breakfast was awesome, fresh croissants and fruit, cappuccino and or juice. The staff was very attentive and gracious!

Loved everything except the stairs, unavoidable.
