Beachfront vacation rentals in Scalea

The house is beautifully located, just above the sea. You can enjoy the view of the sea on the covered terrace. It is quiet, you can hear the sound of the sea and the friendly rustling of birds and pretty salamanders. The nature all around is beautiful, in the well-kept garden you can stay well, there are herbs and a lemon tree. Very close you can walk through the fragrant nature on a small path above the sea on the steep coast. In the garden we could use a ping pong table, very much to our son's delight. A highlight of our stay was the friendly welcome of Raffaele, in Italian, with hands and feet, with real warmth. In case of problems, he was immediately helpful and yet mindful of friendly discretion. For four people there was generous space and everything we needed. We were allowed to use everything in stock, which was really very nice! The stay was really great!!!

We got to know Vera as a very friendly and helpful hostess who also has a heart for children. Vera's apartment was great for us as a family of five. We were able to alternate well between beach days and excursions during our time and relax superbly. Communication with Vera was straightforward and super helpful, despite our lack of Italian language skills. She was always concerned about our well-being. We wholeheartedly recommend Vera's place because we felt very comfortable. Thank you Vera.

We really enjoyed staying at Villa Venezuela. Sandro checked on us during our stay and also left us a welcome basket which was very kind and appreciated. From the covered balcony you can see the mountains with an unobstructed view of the Maratea Christ Redeemer Statue and on the other side are beautiful sea views. The sunsets are spectacular! The villa is within walking distance (280 m) to a great little coffee shop, Amadeus Lounge Bar, where we had an aperitif and cappuccino. The road is busy but we were not too bothered by it. The house is large and comfortably appointed. We did go to Fiumicello Beach and the Marina but unlike other reviewers we would not recommend walking to either. The roads are very narrow, without sidewalks and are quite busy with traffic and busses. Both had free parking available. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect place! Beautiful summer house with nothing missing. But what we'll miss is the garden by the house. It's misrepresented until you sit there with your morning coffee and until you spot a sunset there every night. We are a family with almost grown children and we all have stepped down that something better will be hard to find next time. Grazie mille Luciana!

At the end of March, this is a place for people who love absolute peace and seclusion. The terrace has a beautiful view over the bay and when you fall asleep you can hear the sound of the sea. The space was small, functional and very well maintained. In terms of space as well as seating and sleeping arrangements, we imagine the apartment for longer stays for three people as too small.

Everything was as advertised. The pictures of the place on Airbnb looked enticing and were exactly as we found it . The exterior was adorned nicely with flowers and the front patio had sun throughout the day . The interior was perfect for a couple . A nice kitchen/dining area and bedroom area. The bathroom and shower were fine. The interior walls were reflective of the exterior stone construction, providing a continuous local flavor to the experience . The area was quiet and private. We did not use the provided heaters even though the temperatures in early April were in the mid 50s-low 60s degF. Every time we walked back to the place from various locations we were impressed by its look and how it stood out along the walking tour of the centro storico . Lorenzo was always available to answer questions and his father was helpful in our check in and in helping us during our stay, and of course, watering of the flowers. We would happily rebook the place, a perfect stay from the start.

Excellent location once you find it. We had a little trouble but no worries, the views are stunning. The home is adequately equipped, clean and modern. The train runs close by and takes a while to get used to. The beach is great and there are plenty of chairs, umbrellas and toys. The location is central to nice towns, shopping and restaurants. If you can get to restaurant Vecchio Frantoio in Diamante it’s well worth it. Valerio and Laura are excellent hosts. You won’t be disappointed.

Michele was a great host and we enjoyed a nice week in Diamante. Thanks!

Chiara was a friendly host and communication was perfect. The view from the balconies are breathtaking (in the front you have the sea, in the the back olive trees). The place was simple, but authentic ... We loved the fact that we were just minutes away from the beach and super close to downtown Sapri (a pearl on the Italian coast) If you are looking for a fancy place full of amenities, where you want to spend time on the internet in a climatized room, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for a place to live the true Italian life for a couple of days and disconnect from a stressful life you are on the right spot. My family and I are taking great memories with us. Thank you Chiara for hosting us.
