Bellissima vacanza
Pros:

Chianalea è la zona "chic" di Scilla. Incantevole la località con scorci da favola, tanti servizi di ristorazione e qualche piccolo negozio di souvenir. Unico bar e negozio di alimentari del luogo il Casa Vela B&B.

Cons:

Chianalea è sprovvista di servizi come supermercati, panificio, tabaccherie ecc,. La struttura ha una scala ripida per salire non adatta a chi ha problemi di deambulazione.

The good vibes from the couple working at the B&B givesa lasting sweet memory! Totally recommend this place to every
Pros:

The elder couple working at the B&B were really kind, friendly, warm and courteous. The room was nicely big. The street was beautiful, and you can hear the gentle splashes of waves from the beach. The food at the B&B was amazing.

Cons:

Even though the room was clean, the toilet or the toilet brush was smelly. However, I loved everything else of the B&B, so just closed the bathroom and it was fine.

Lovely authentic setting with great staff
Pros:

The staff. so friendly they even carried my luggage up. A welcome drink and a croissant or cake in the morning with coffee. It’s such an authentic setting. Across is a lovely little shop with a well traveled gentlemen who is kind enough to feed the stray cats. There is someone who can take you to the train station with his puk puk for € 10 highly recommend.

Cons:

Note; this is a basic property but the location and the people make up for the minor things. Please not you cannot drink the water they have supply you with drinking water

Lovely BnB with super friendly staff and amazing breakfast
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing breakfast with local specialties/food. Location is very nice and perfect to explore Scilla. The beach and the ocean are close. The apartment was comfortable and well-equipped with a kitchen. We had everything we needed.

Cons:

Unfortunately it was a bit poorly soundproofed. We were on the 2nd floor.

Pros:

Вид и расположение просто невероятные! Номер аккуратный, чистый. Кровать очень удобная. Есть вся посуда для готовки. Еда и вино в баре внизу очень вкусные.

Cons:

Не подходит для людей с чувствительным сном. Бар снизу работает до 00:30, сильно шумит бачок унитаза, ночью слышен шум то ли стиральной, то ли посудомоечной машины. Для тех, кто спит крепко (мой муж) - все идеально :)
Завтрак вкусный, но однообразный и для нас был маловат.

Amazing

Gorgeous location in the heart of Chianalea. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff - we were given bottled water free of charge every day. The included breakfast was great. The room was very spacious and the balcony provided a nice view onto the street and the wider surroundings.
