Nothing

Fortunata met us at the car park and kindly drove us and our cases the short distance to her home right on the sea. The property was very, very clean and tidy and was decorated with all sorts of items made from salvaged flotsam and jetsam. The bed linen was immaculate and fresh including the pillows and eiderdown. We were made to feel very welcome. Falling asleep to the sound of the sea washing against the walls was very special. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Nothing. Was wonderful

This was such a unique property. Gorgeous surroundings and so well kept. The host, Fortunata, could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. Five star service. Couldn’t have asked for more. LOVE this place

Nothing!!!

This was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Our host Fortunata was such a beautiful lady, kind and could simply not have done any more for us. We stayed 3 nights and felt like we were incredibly welcomed. Nothing was too much trouble, our every whim was catered to. The breakfast is incredibly substantial and took our breath away. Room is gorgeous, and historic, with fine details like driftwood/shell lamps, and all kinds of little touches that made the room so special. BUT THE VIEW!!!!!! Sitting out on our balcony felt like a dream, and the constant sound of the ocean lapping around you is something I have longed for since I left. A very very special place, one I will remember for years to come.

Amazing breakfast laid out for us in the morning, the balcony overlooking the water was fantastic and everything was made very easy.

Nothing at all.

The property itself was beautiful and a testament to the craftsmanship of Fortunata’s husband. It is ideally situated to wander around the Chinealea district and to the long beach for swimming etc. lots of restaurants within a few steps.

This property is amazing. So unique, you can tell that Fortuna the owner is so proud and rightly so. Unique decor befitting a seaside apartment. The balcony is spectacular. We sat for ages just taking in the views. Breakfast was exceptional. An abundance of different foods and drinks specially prepared by Fortuna. The bed was great and lovely to sleep with the sound of the waves. Fortuna helped us with our parking and our bags. Great to have a small kitchen also to prepare food. Scilla itself is delightful , especially Chianalea where the apartment is located right on the sea. Easy walking to the beach, castle etc. Above all was the kindness shown to us by Fortuna. What a gentle caring soul. This place was a winner.

Nothing. All wonderful.

First, Fortunata (the host) is lovely and was so helpful! We had a long drive and she met us to help us find parking and even drove us with our luggage. She really went above and beyond. With the breakfast also… above and beyond. Such a spread! Aside from just her, the room is great. So cute. And, the balcony hangs over the water and it’s stunning. Plus, the best location. If we could plan our trip over, we’d stay several more nights there!

difficult to access if you have luggage, due to ZTL location.

amazing and attentive host. very good breakfast. Authentic Seaside experience. Renovated home and yet has old world charm.

Contacting host wasn't easy (we don't speak Italian) but all worked out well.

The apartment was exceptional - in all its character - located directly on the waters edge with an impressive suspended balcony over the water with great views. Breakfast was outstanding - laid out with so much choice and variety. Our host Fortunata was so helpful providing lemons and ice for our G&T and some beautiful glasses making a simple drink on the balcony so special. Fortunata was so helpful in parking our car and taking us and our suitcases to the apartment.

absolutely nothing!

Hosts went above and beyond, including fantastic assortment of local and homemade delicacies for breakfast, as well as lunch for us to take with us each day! Wonderful people, fabulous accommodations, mixing old world with new for every convenience, including the most unique artistic light fixtures made by our host from parts of his father’s retired fishing boat. The unmatched view from the sweet balcony literally hanging out over the sea, was by far my favorite part of this apartment aside from the hosts! Must see to believe!

Loved the location in the village - spectacular! Right on the water. Fortunata was wonderful - gracious and could not do enough to help us re parking for example and to make our stay enjoyable!

We stayed in an amazing unusual place with a balcony right over the sea. Our host was such a caring person delivered us every thing we needed. The bed is warm and comfortable. The bathroom is provided with everything you need. The breakfast was way more than enough with hot milk, coffee tea and fruits. She even packed us a bag of food to go. I definitely recommend this place if you are coming to Scilla! Location is perfect, and she showed us where to park not too far. Thank you so much for everything 🙏

The air conditioner was necessary but sadly it is very loud and did wake me up so I needed to wear ear plugs.

The host was truly delightful. Her recommendations were excellent and she was just a beautiful person. I really enjoyed chatting with her. The room was very spacious and well appointed. The breakfast was amazing.

We loved the history of the old stone house, the location right on the sea is something very special but the truth is the owner Fortunata was the shining star of our stay. She is a beautiful soul who care’s deeply about her home and guests. Our time here will always be a cherished memory.

Everything was absolutely perfect!

This was the most amazing stay ever! The location was so authentic and had cute little restaurants, a marina and very easy walk to Scilla. The host went over and above to make sure we had everything and even helped us with parking at the galleria/tunnel which made our stay so very easy! The decor was stunning and the bed the most comfortable in my journeys through Italy. The breakfast was a large variety and very filling and made with care and served so pretty on the table. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommended it! This by far was my favourite place in Italy!

The property is located right in the centre of the village. It is done up beautifully, with great care and attention to detail. The host, Fortunata is an amazing person and she took very good care of me. I was worried about my luggage and having to lug it from the station to her house, but Fortunata offered to both pick me up and drop me back to the station. She is wonderful to speak with, with our limited knowledge of each other’s language, we still managed to chat up. The breakfast is very good too. There’s also a functional kitchen for anyone who wants to cook. There’s a great restaurant right across her door and 2 good bars too :) if you want to truly experience Scilla, stay in Chianale and at Fortunata’s.

There is absolutely nothing about U Catoiu not to like. It was a wonderful stay. Everything was just so special and different. Fortunata went out of her way to make us feel welcome, not to mention the fantastic, huge breakfast. 👌🏻 The only thing that we are sorry about, is that we could not stay longer. We would highly recommend.

View, set-up, clean, and very intentionally and cutely designed. The owner was so accommodating of my being vegan, and prepared a vegan breakfast just for me including a vegan orange cake!
