Beautiful stay
Incredible location and views from the balcony.

Sweet and very quiet apartment in a perfect location.
This sweet apartment is located in the heart of Chianalea, only a few steps away from all the lovely restaurants, bars, etc. However, although very closeby, it is extremely quiet, we always kept the windows open at night, often not a sound to be heard. From the bedroom and the balcony you see the sea, overlooking the lower houses. After a few days there ( we actually stayed 6 nights ) the wind had picked up, so we could listen to the waves. The main beach is a 10 - 15 min walk away, you can choose to walk past the little harbour or, if you don´t mind steps, take a shortcut through the village. Scilla is beautiful and at the time we were there, very few visitors.
Nothing, except that after 6 days it was time to go back home.

Simple place with lovely view
Lovely view from both rooms, one with little balcony.
Some people might want a television?

Pleasantly surprised; Terrific!.
The apartment exceeded our expectations. The large bedroom has a king bed with a very firm mattress. The living room has a sofa bed, which we didn't use, so we can't comment on that. Both rooms have a/c units. There are great views over the sea from both rooms and we spent a lot of time on the balcony, relaxing and enjoying the view. We enjoyed watching the locals cleaning their fish below us in the 400 year old fountain of lions. Truly an authentic Italian fishing village experience. The area was very quiet, but it it was off-season. Maybe it is different during summer months. It is about a 20-minute, fairly flat and scenic walk from the train station, keeping to the road through the bridge below the castle. We really appreciated that the owner left us coffee, water, soap, and extra toilet paper. The elevator to the upper town of Scilla was out of order, and there we're no open grocery stores in Chianalea or the lower town of Scilla. We were able to buy drinks and milk for coffee from restaurants and the gift shop near the apartment. As mentioned in other reviews, there are steps to the apartment, about 50 of them, and the bathroom could use a little cosmetic work to address the peeling paint. However, peeling paint and lots of steps are typical in southern Italy. The shower was great. We had everything we needed for our short stay. We will be back soon, I hope. We will make sure to bring more supplies next time because, based on our past experiences across Italy, the elevator is probably often out of order and it's a long steep walk up to a market. There is probably a bus to the upper town, but we didn't find it and we were only there for 2 nights. In season, I'm sure there are other transport options between the upper and lower town.
The mattress was too firm for us, but that's just a personal preference. I think most people prefer a very firm mattress.
Casa Arancio si trova in un’ottima posizione, per il territorio dove è collocata.
Sotto casa si trova un piccolo bar vista mare dove poter fare colazione o gustarvi un gelato squisito, o un’ottima granita.
La casa l’abbiamo trovata pulita, dotata di cucina funzionale, come anche il bagno, trovate inoltre anche prodotti per la pulizia che possono sempre essere utili, come anche un ottimo phone e un ferro da stiro, uno stendino e un balcone con fili per stendere.
La vista dal balcone inoltre è mozzafiato.
È composta di una camera da letto con due letti singoli uniti per formare un matrimoniale, non ne abbiamo usufruito perché i materassi erano cigolanti, quindi abbiamo usato il divano che aperto diventa un letto; non comodissimo, ma comunque accogliente, dopo una bella giornata al mare e una passeggiata per le vie della bellissima Chianalea.
Dalla casa inoltre con una breve camminata si raggiunge il lungo mare e la Piazza, molto bello passeggiare anche per le viette di Chianalea, un borgo molto suggestivo.
Il proprietario di casa molto gentile e disponibile, ci ha fornito indicazioni ancora prima di partire con tanto di percorso tracciato e l’ndicazione per un parcheggio vicino.
Quindi concludo dicendo che se cercate un ottimo compromesso qualità prezzo, ve la consiglio.
Chianalea, come il resto della Costa Viola è bellissima, un pò impegnativa per via dei pochi parcheggi, salite e discese abbastanza ripide, ma in cambio offre una vacanza da sogno, dai mille paesaggi mozzafiato

De locatie was super! Het huisje ligt zowel dicht bij het strand, als dicht bij enkele restaurants en de haven van Scilla., alsook dicht bij het treinstation.
Het huis was voorzien van airconditioning in zowel de woonkamer, als slaapkamer.
Het verblijf had gedurende ons verblijf enkele gebreken die de host in orde brengt.
De keuken is weinig uitgerust om er zelf te koken mocht je dat willen.

Buona posizione praticamente sopra la via principale di Chianalea, la casa è raggiungibile salendo alcuni scalini. Bella vista sulla baia anche se non completamente libera dato che ci sono delle case più alte.
Arredamento molto basic, bagno col box doccia un po' decadente. Difficile parlare col proprietario se non con messaggi su booking perché l ho chiamato due volte e non mi ha risposto.
