Liked: So lovely place! Just like the pictures.The breakfast was really amazing, so much to choose from! Fortunata our host was so kind and did so much for us! Thank you! I can really recomment this to everyone!
A wonderfully relaxing stay with beautiful views and a perfect balcony to unwind on
Liked: We had a wonderful stay. The balcony was a real highlight — sitting out watching the fishing boats come and go was incredibly relaxing and one of our favourite parts of the trip. The property was in a great location, clean, comfortable, and well placed for exploring the area and nearby beaches.
Disliked: Very little to dislike overall. The only small thing was that there was no light on the balcony, so a portable light and perhaps a charging point out there would have made the evenings even more enjoyable. Otherwise, just a couple of minor touches, but nothing that affected our stay significantly.
The ambiance was perfectly unique
Liked: It was a very unique property, right on the water, in the old fishing village center, and plenty of restaurants. The host was also very helpful and accommodating. From assisting with parking, supplying recommendations, and great service for breakfast.
Disliked: Nothing
Absolute Waterfront Location With An Exceptional Host
Liked: From the moment I first discovered “U Catoiu” I was so looking forward to staying here and my expectations of this unique fisherman’s cottage were exceeded. Everything about it is a joy, especially the way Fortunata and her husband have created a unique decor fashioned around the sea and the family’s fishing history. Although just a few steps away from restaurants, the house is very quiet and private. The bed is very comfortable and the apartment is well equipped. Then of course there is the balcony that hangs right out over the sea. What a special experience it was to sit out there listening to the gentle waves lapping against the house while watching the fishing boats going back and forth. Fortunata is a wonderful host who is friendly and helpful and was easy to communicate with before and during our stay. She guided us to free parking and gave us helpful information about Scilla and the surrounding area. She also provided a fabulous breakfast each morning. Scilla is a beautiful place to visit and staying at "U Catoiu" is a very special experience. We would highly recommend booking a few nights if you have the opportunity to visit the picturesque and enchanting seaside village of Chianalea di Scilla.
Disliked: We loved everything about our stay.
