Vacation rentals in Scogli Isca

This place is located on a hill above Amantea and has a spectacular view of the town and ocean. You need a vehicle to stay at this location, given that it is at the top of a steep hill. But the property and view cannot be beat. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Amantea. The host was very responsive and even picked up some items that were needed once we had arrived.

Beautiful apartment in a great location. Minutes walk to restaurants, groceries and beach. Everything needed was provided and very clean. Great host and very responsive. We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend.

We so loved our stay and one of the highlights was the care and attention from Giuseppe, Micheal’s dad. We enjoyed walking the beach, cooking in the kitchen, and eating dinner on the veranda. It felt like home from the moment we arrived. ❤️

We loved the location. It was steps from a Gelateria which we enjoyed every day of our stay. We were greeted with pastries and wine and he provided bottled water which was a really nice touch. The view from our room was spectacular! If we had a question or an issue Giuseppe responded quickly and was very helpful. He also provided recommendations for places to eat and things to do. It felt like home for the few nights we were there.

It was great staying in one of the houses in Gianfranco and Gabriella's popular hotel. We stayed in the Chiani house, it is very well cared for with a attention to every detail typical of craftsmanship and the Calabrian tradition. Gianfranco and Gabriella are very kind and gave us great suggestions on the villages to visit and local activities. Living in Belmonte was an unforgettable experience, the house is set in the Middle Ages, looking out over the alleys and enjoying the views gave us the opportunity to participate in the millenary history of the villages of Calabria. We highly recommend staying with Gianfranco and Gabriella both to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Calabria and to live the experience of the medieval village of the crafts of Calabria.

We had a lovely stay! The home itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was responsive and friendly. The space had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. As there are people upstairs and downstairs, we had to be quiet (I have 2 children under the age of 2), if you have children just be mindful before booking as you will be reminded to keep it down. You will also need to take bedding off and bins outside yourself at the end of your stay. One thing to keep in mind: the location is quiet seaside village style. It’s a peaceful and quiet area, which we appreciated, but taxis and ride-shares were hard to come by. If you’re planning to stay here, having your own car or arranging transportation in advance is a good idea. We made friends with locals who helped us out with ride shares. Overall, a great experience — especially if you’re looking for a quiet retreat and don’t mind being a little outside the city center!

Where do I start. Beautiful house up in the hills around 5km from town. On arrival we were welcomed by Vitoria and his family and immediately felt at home. Evening meal with wine was offered for €25 each, glad we accepted as it was the best meal in Italy so far. Typical Calabrian food mostly from their farm. Served outside on the terrace by all family members and w Service was like you would get in a restaurant. On arrival, fridge had water, bread, fruit juice, salami and fresh milk along with a fresh bowl of oranges from the garden. Fresh baked croissants delivered for breakfast along with fresh peaches. The house was spotlessly clean and very comfy beds. On leaving, Vittorio’s wife supplied us with home made Nduja Calabrese and jars of pickled vegetables. Cute and very friendly dogs. What a wonderful family to stay with ❤️🇮🇹❤️👌

The flat is in a grand old house at the entrance to the old town. It is beautifully renovated (we loved the old tiles on the floor), has a large modern kitchen (with more than we needed) and a very nice bathroom. There's a great view from the balcony. The famous ice cream shop Sicoli and good restaurants (e.g. the friendly Cantina Amarcord or the posh L'800) are just around the corner, and the station as well as the sea are within easy walking distance. Amantea is also a good location for excursions in the surrounding area, e.g. to the old towns of Fiumefreddo (visit the Enosteria Convivio for amazing food!) or Belmonte.
