Guest Reviews
- Thomas (10/5): - Super Frühstück. Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, Zimmer sind sehr schön und das ganze Haus sehr sauber. Idealer Ort zum Entspannen.
- timase (9/5): - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und Gastgeberinnen und sehr bemüht, unser «Problem« mit dem Tv abends noch zu beheben. TOP! Nichts
- Sylwia (10/5): - Świetna lokalizacja - kilka kroków od Piazza San Rocco, ale w bocznej cichej uliczce. Nie mieliśmy problemu z zaparkowaniem Bardzo czysto. Wszystko nowe i zadbane. Duże łóżko z dobrym materacem i wygodne poduszki.
- Fritz (9/5): -
- Linda (9/5): - Super Lage, einfaches Checkin per Anruf/ Whatsapp und super sauber!
- Oscar (9/5): - La pulizia, le camere, la accoglienza della proprietaria
- Petra (8/5): - Einchecken war per Telefon. War ein bisschen schwierig, da die Vermieterin nicht gut Englisch konnte. Frühstück war gut. Alles ein bisschen eng, aber neu und sauber.
Parkplatz in der Nähe kostenlos. Ziemlich viele Stufen. Sehr, sehr viele Stufen, da muss man schon fit sein, da der versprochene Lift vom Strand ins Zentrum nicht funktioniert und das wahrscheinlich schon länger nicht wie es dort aussieht.
- Nóra (9/5): -
- Sylvie (8/5): -
- Elvezio (10/5): - Tutto, compresa un'ottima colazione. Niente
- Vitali (10/5): -
- Christa (9/5): - Ein sehr schönes B&B, durchdacht und auf relativ wenig m2 optimal eingerichtet, ohne beengt zu wirken. Geschmackvoll und hell. Wir genossen den Aufenthalt im Athena. Auch die Lage - im obern Teil von Scilla - ist sehr attraktiv, ruhig aber wenige Schritte von der Aussichtsterrasse auf Scilla Marina entfernt.

- Anna (8/5): -
- Petra (9/5): - Apartma je na odlični lokaciji, zelo čist in okusno urejen. Komunikacija z lastnico je potekala brez problemov. Ko boste v tem prečudovitem mestu, se obvezno oglasite v gostilnici Felix zraven cerkve. Tam boste jedli čudovito mečarico. Priporočam! Apartma ima v pritličju skupno kuhinjo, ki pa je zaradi drugih gostov (hrup) nismo smeli uporabiti. Razumem lastnico, da ni dovolila, saj se nekateri gostje pritožujejo nad vsako figo (glej komentarje pod oceno). Drugače vse super! Priporočam!
- Tereza (10/5): -
- Jasmin (10/5): -
- graziano (10/5): Rilassante - Struttura nuovissima e pulitissima I due materassi singoli che si dividono
- Gerald (8/5): - Zentral gelegen, Frühstück sehr gut. Netter Kontakt alles ok!
- Henriette (10/5): - Good spot. The best breakfast. We lacked the wifi code.
- Barbara (10/5): Sehr schöne Unterkunft in bester Lage! - Mitten in der Fussgängerzone in der Oberstadt, idyllisch und topsauber! Etwas hellhörig.
- Azzariti (10/5): - La struttura è nuova e la stanza aveva una pulizia impeccabile, ci siamo trovati benissimo io e la mia compagna. La consigliamo vivamente! Non poterci stare più giorni!
- Michael (8/5): - Lovely Bed and Breakfast. Comfortable stay.
- Merita (9/5): - Das Athena B&B befindet sich oberhalb von der Küste. Es gibt wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge. Das Frühstück ist topp. Das Personal sehr Hilfsbereit.
Achtung, in der Wintersaison ist kein Lift für runter zur Küste vorhanden.
Treppe hoch Treppe runter.
Der Lift kostet circa 2€ pro fahrt, was sehr teuer ist.
- Luciana Carla (10/5): - excelente ubicacion, muy tranquilo. Muy buen desayuno y atencion de los anfitriones.
- Marco (10/5): -
- Gasparri (10/5): - Un soggiorno eccellente, due notti tranquille e rilassanti. Colazione sostanziosa e saporita. Mariangela, la proprietaria, ci ha dato ottimi consigli che hanno reso la nostra permanenza assai più piacevole. Consigliatissimo
- Vincenza (10/5): -
- Carmine (7/5): - Il mare Troppo distante dal mare e con l'ascensore che non era disponibile a tutte le ore è pesante salire tante scale dal lungomare al paesino su
- Roberto (8/5): -
- Rosalba (10/5): -
- Scott (10/5): I was happy with my choice of going to Athena because my vacation in Scilla ended up being one of the best days of my tr - It was a very clean place, recently renovated with lots of space, staff helpful and generous
Best view of Scilla just a minute walk
Air conditioning working
Will go back next time I’m in Calabria That I couldn’t stay longer to enjoy it 🤣🤣
- Angela (8/5): - Posizione a 2 minuti dalla pizza principale e dall'ascensore per poter scendere in spiaggia. Colazione non abbondante ma tutto fresco. Camera pulita. Non c'è un balcone per poter stendere i costumi fuori ma c'era un piccolo stendino da tenere in camera. Il cuscino e il materasso troppo morbidi. Noi avevamo la stanza di fronte la cucina e quando le signore arrivavano per preparare la colazione si sentiva tutto nonostante cercassero di esser il più silenziose possibili.
- Annarita (9/5): Una notte a Scilla - Staff gentilissimo e disponibile
- Giuseppe Seminara (8/5): -
- Roberto (8/5): - Struttura molto centrale, pulita e colazione inclusa Sarebbe stato carino ricevere un messaggio di benvenuto o almeno un avviso sul fatto che avremmo dovuto fare il self check-in.
Inoltre ci è stata assegnata una stanza al piano terra, purtroppo la mattina presto c’era rumore, perché la sala colazioni si trova proprio accanto

- Jacinta (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and comfortable with lots of choice for breakfast. Very centrally located to restaurants and a lovely bar from where you could watch the sun set with a drink or ice cream.
High in the town but there is a well hidden lift that takes you to beach level.
- Salvatore (9/5): Superb -
- Willy (1/5): A nightmare - Sleeping was impossible. A continue noise from what we supposed to be a water pump prevented us to close even one eye! We wrote the owner a message at 11PM circa, but, not receiving a feedback we decided to leave the room.
She phoned us when we were already in the car.
We had no reinbursment at all! Owner has been, at the end, very rude.
Never again!
NOT RECOMMENDED! We don't care if the noise comes from your neighbour's water pump! We pay you to sleep and this is your problem.
- Shima (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dragan (9/5): Superb - Good location for Scilla visiting, nice room, good breakfast, very kind host, who helped us for a car parking arrangement, clean and nice venue, definitively recommended for Scilla visiting. Difficult to keep Wi-Fi signal in a good order
- Paweł (10/5): Exceptional - great breakfast and the boss arranged fuel for us
for the car because I arrived on an empty prom no balcony
- Ирина (10/5): Great vacation - We had a wonderful stay! Everything was clean, comfortable, and very welcoming. The hosts were kind and helpful throughout our visit, and on the last day they surprised us with a delicious breakfast — such a thoughtful gesture! Highly recommended. Thank you! 😊
- Wendy (8/5): Very attractive facility and room very comfortable - Hard to reach owner but eventually did
and gained access about 30 minutes late Property was fine in fact very nice
Breakfast unavailable which was disappointing as end of season and very few
locations
open in town
- Valentin (8/5): Very good -
- Alex (9/5): Lovely b&b for a short stay in Scilla - Excellent property located in the heart of the upper town of Scilla. The room was modern, very clean and spacious, with a lovely balcony. Close to a bar and the main square too. There’s a really nice osteria opposite for food which is also recommend!
- Ivica (9/5): Central, perfect place to feel Scilla - Locations was excellent, and we had fine communication with a host. We travelled off season, so it was easy to find a parking, all spots marked white are free, probably more difficult in the full season. Also, there is no breakfast off season, but with this price it's not a problem. We needed a place to stay for one night, and we loved Scilla, too bad we didn't have more time to relax there. There is nothing serious to point out
- Bruna (7/5): Good -
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Donal (10/5): Excellent B&B. Excellent staff and amazing breakfast - Excellent hospitality and kindness
Clean, newly renovated house with very comfortable rooms with soundproofing.
The breakfast selection was fantastic and excellent quality.
The proprietor and staff are the stars of the show, with true Calabrian hospitality.
Thank you, we wished we could have stayed longer.
Excellent B&B
- Sanli (7/5): Short stay - Landlady was so helpful, she deserves 10.
Waited for us to arrive till midnight and helped us to find parking.
The room was clean and in the center. It was a basic room, ground floor next to the entrance/breakfast area was a bit strange, air conditioning was noisy and there was a smell in the room when we got in first (would be good to air out before a new guest comes).
- Anna (9/5): Centrally located, clean & modern - Great little B&B with bright & modern rooms. Centrally located with easy self check-in and decent breakfast. There is no dedicated parking so you have to drive around until you find something on the street. In the heat of summer with a lot of luggage we ended up a few blocks away which was far from ideal but I guess not everyone arrives by car.
- Kenneth (9/5): Easy to check-in, beautiful town. Ideal stay. - Very close to the main square in upper town, spotless clean, modern, close to the elevator to the beach, comfortable linens and bed, great AC.
- Paul (9/5): Professional & friendly service. - Clean & modern. Recently refurbished Nothing we didn’t know ahead of staying
- Sabina (9/5): Nice clean, modern room - It was close to the main piazza and walking to many great restaurants and the beach. It was located in a quiet area which is nice. The room was clean and the breakfast was nice.
- Roisin (7/5): Clean modern accommodation central to town lift - Good communication
Girls at breakfast were lovely
Balcony
Shower and bathroom Didn't have complementary water in room
No cups .glasses in room
No bottle opener
Would be nice to have doors open at breakfast was a bit stuffy
Some confusion about check out time..booking.com said 11am owner 10.30am but got it sorted
Not a critism but we were up in the old town don't think booking said.. would be handy to have known
- Lomonaco (10/5): Exceptional - B&B Athena is excellent!! We highly recommend it!! The owner/host was very helpful and kind. The, breakfast was very good, the beach was close by, and very good restaurants were very close. We stayed 5 nights at Athena and wish we could have stayed longer

June 2024
- James (9/5): It’s on a pedestrian street and a bit difficult to find with google maps. Worth the effort though - New building, comfortable rooms and well designed space All was great
- Jos (9/5): Superb - The host is so kind and helpful.
Excellent breakfast.
- Páll (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lorraine (1/5): Worst experience of my 2 month trip to Italy. - Location was beautiful. No one there and door locked upon arrival. When I emailed, response was that I should've notified her of my arrival time in advance. Room was between stairs and front door and opened onto lobby/breakfast area. Very noisy. Asked to be moved at check in and was told there was an available room but would have to pay more to be moved. Music at 11:30PM and noisy breakfast at 7:20AM. Very difficult to sleep. I left after one night and forfeited the cost of the next 3 nights stay just to get out of there. The owner was rude and told me I should not be traveling alone. (21 yrs old and traveling between a job in Verona to a job in Sicily. Stopped here for a mini vaca before next job.) She refused to move me without additional money and would not refund any of the unused nights even though I told her when I checked in that I would be leaving in the morning because I could not sleep in such a high traffic, noisy area. She was the rudest person I met during my 2 months in Italy.
- Polly (7/5): Good - Quiet and very clean. Parking very difficult near apartment. Had to lug cases a long way. Also we were at the top of the house and steep stairs with suitcases for 75 year old were concerning.
- Galina (9/5): for short stay is a very good choice - very clean, pretty new/renovated, good location for exploring far from the beach and limited restaurants in the area
- Se12 (8/5): Very good -
- Diogo (1/5): Beware - I liked how clean and tidy the house and our room was. We were given a room on the 1st floor with a small balcony. It's a plus to have a functional kettle and be able to have a cuppa whenever we feel like (apart from the morning when the host is looking at you in a way that makes you feel like something is amiss) The host was not there at the agreed time of arrival. Extremely unfriendly and we were made to feel very unwelcome. Even worst the property is at the top of a very steep hill, totally unsuitable for those who are elderly or with young children.
- Linda (10/5): immaculately kept place in a beautiful walkable town with - Spotless and well maintained. Great location! It was a little hard to find nearby parking
- Andrei (9/5): Superb -
