B&B Torre Talao

This was a last-minute stop in our itinerary and therefore I did not have especially high expectations. This B and B was much much nicer than what I expected. The host is a lovely man who is very helpful. The room was spacious, modern, functional, and clean. The host was very nice and served us an excellent and customized breakfast. The location is great: 2 minutes from the beach but also 2 minutes from the town where we discovered very nice bars and restaurants. I highly recommend it!

We are a Canadian couple who travelled to Puglia and Calabria in September. We were so fortunate to stay at the BandB Torre Talao in the picturesque town of Scalea for five days. Our host, Vittorio runs a superb BandB. Vittorio is very knowledgeable about his home town Scalea and the surrounding area. Most importantly he is a delightful person and we enjoyed lots of chats over breakfast, which was made to order. Bacon and Eggs and the best cappuccino. The recently renovated accommodation is elegantly appointed, spacious and spotless. The balcony gives you a view of the sea and the beach. A perfect spot for a glass of wine. We enjoyed walking in the old town and climbing up to the church on top of the hill. A walk through history. Vittorio arranged for us to have a private tour to Maratera and other picturesque towns along the coast. If possible we suggest taking this tour with Gian Paola Presta. This location was a highlight of our trip and suggest travellers consider Scalea and the BandB Torre Talao.
