Quiet location with spectacular view.

We greatly enjoyed the location and spectacular view for the short time we spent in it. We spent a great deal of time exploring the beautiful waterfront communities and historical sites, unfortunately many were closed his time of year. Everything you need is here and our hosts Eva and Salvatore were amazing in every way imaginable, top notch! We only wish we could have spent more time here.

We are speechless!!! Few people like you, in our experience as hosts, have been so respectful of us and our home! You left the apartment shining and even washed all the sheets and towels! Your helpful and accurate information regarding the area and the house will be very valuable to us! And just the cherry on top, you moved us with the little gift and a wonderful note in the guest book! Thank you, with all our hearts, for all of this. These gestures keep us going in our hosting business and also in our lives. A most loving hug.

Wonderful from start to finish

We had a fantastic stay in Ewa and Salvatore's house in Calabria. The house, location and scenery are incredible, with a small semi-private beach right down below and beautiful views of the bay and Messina. There are other beaches and great restaurants nearby as well as bigger towns for shopping and cultural experiences. Ewa and Salvatore were the kindest, most thoughtful and hospitable hosts and made us feel like part of their family. We can't wait to go back.

La petite gare de canitello étant ouverte, cela nous a permis de nous rendre confortablement à Scillia, Chianela et Tropea Salvatore et Ewa sont très accueillants et disponibles.La petite crique en bas de l'appartement est un vrai plus. La vue de l'appartement est magnifique.Je recommande sans hésiter.

Eine wunderschöne Ferienwohnung mit einem sensationellen Blick auf die Meeresstraße von Messina. Wenn man über die Straße geht und ein paar Stufen hinunter, ist man in einer kleinen Bucht mit kristallklarem Wasser. Ewa und Salvatore sind an Freundlichkeit und Fürsorge kaum zu überbieten. Für uns war der Aufenthalt wirklich magisch und wir kommen definitiv wieder.

Traumhafte Wohnung mit toller Aussicht

Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und gut ausgestattet. Allerdings ist die Matratze im unteren Doppelbett sehr durchgelegen und sollte ausgetauscht werden. Das Tor zum Parkplatz ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ewa und Salvatore waren sehr freundlich und herzlich und haben uns umfassend über die Wohnungseinrichtung und Ausflugsmöglichkeiten informiert. Der Strandzugang beim Haus war leider unbegehbar, vermutlich unterspült, und wird hoffentlich bald von der Gemeinde in Stand gesetzt. Wir haben sehr schöne Stunden auf den beiden Terrassen verbracht mit tollen Blicken auf den Schiffsverkehr der Straße von Messina.

beautiful property, stunning views, & terrific hosts

The photos don't fully do justice to the stunning view of the Messina Strait! Watching the ship & boat traffic was mesmerizing! The house is well-appointed with many thoughtful touches. The hosts were super responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke English well. Plenty of local cuisine & culture that's walkable, but a car is required for Scilla & beyond. Highly recommend!!!!!

Bellissimo Appartamento

Appartamento molto ampio, e molto ben dotato di ogni confort. All'interno dello stesso c'è tutto il necessario per trascorrere la propria vacanza, sia come prodotti per la pulizia, per la biancheria, ed anche tutto l'occorrente per una buona colazione. L'appartamento è situato in una zona molto tranquilla del paese di Cannitello, e ha all'interno della propria recinzione, un posto auto riservato. La comunicazione con il padrone di casa è stata sempre molto veloce ma soprattutto cordiale.

Helaas geen goede ervaring.

De ontvangst van de eigenaren was zeer hartelijk, echter moesten we vaststellen dat de woning niet bepaald schoon was. De badkamer (die niet bij de foto's op de site staat) was vies, douche cabine is hard aan vervanging toe. Ook de keuken moet nodig vervangen worden, deurtjes vallen er haast af en er zaten oorwurmen bij de koffiekopjes. Niet fijn dus. Wat ons betreft was het enige pluspunt het bovenste terras, waar een mooi uitzicht over zee is. Heel jammer, want de verhuurders zijn aller aardigst!

Tutto posso accettare ma non che la CASA! (scrivete tutta!) e il bagno era sporco, perché è l'oggetto della nostra particolare attenzione! Bisogna saper distinguere tra il vecchio e la sporcizia! Le piastrelle hanno degli aloni permanenti che non si possono rimuovere con nessun detersivo ma sono stati lavati e disinfettati a fondo, e un'occhio attento lo nota ( guarda tutte le altre recensioni!). Sì, le piastrelle dovrebbero essere cambiate e le porte della doccia dovrebbero essere sostituite, così come una porta di UNO sportello della cucina.... ma si capisce che non è il momento degli investimenti per noi! ... e le forbicine vicino alle tazze! E' ovvio che non le abbiamo messo là noi, e ci è sfuggito quando mettevamo in ordine tutto! Menzionarlo nella recensione ci sembra esagerato! Siamo molto dispiaciuti per la Vostra delusione e Vi auguriamo di trovare sempre la perfezione dappertutto!

Exceptional Calabrian welcome

We were very warmly welcomed to the property by Ewa. The apartment included ALL possible comforts. The bedroom upstairs is in the form of a studio apartment with its own bathroom and terrace. The property is super clean and super equipped. Salvatore and Ewa welcomed us with home made wine, fruit and other food/beverage supplies. Not far away pizzeria da Gennaro sells pizzas and arancini to die for, The sea view and view of Sicily from the apartment is very relaxing and enjoyable, The beach is a few feet away and one can stroll along the Calabrian sandy beach. Ewa and Salvatore really provide their very best. We highly recommend this property.

Villa is great, HA is not

The apartment, really a condo, is absolutely fabulous. It is light, big and comes with a small almost private beach. Parking is behind a gated fence and the folks in Cannitello were friendly to a person. Traffic on the street is minimal and ships slip almost soundlessly by in the Straits of Messina. I certainly plan to come back and spend more than 3 days. We stayed in Scilla before but this is far better, cheaper and more comfortable. I have NO complaints.
