Villa 4 Brio Complex Very Family Friendly
We know the Island well and have to stress that although Scala has a great beach we've never used it and the town's food is more commercial than some of the less touristic places. Scala is definitely Brits abroad complete with flabby white bits, that's the only down side it you're looking for an authentic get away.
This Villa is about 2km out of town away from the bucket and spade brigade and entered through a communual gate off the main coast road. You pass by the other Villas and reach what can only be described as the most breath taking sea view from the immaculately kept large lawned gardens and huge panoramic terrace and pool. The Villa is quite small but more than enough space for a family of four with every mod con and very clean, contemporary, air conditioned rooms. The master bedroom has fantastic views and glass windows out onto a balcony - feels like you're on a ship at sea. Big King bed however you share a smallish shower room with the twin bedroom which is very child friendly complete with cartoon character wall stickers overlooking the garden and view to Scala.
Best bit - definitley the outdoor loungers under the canopy poolside - absolute heaven whether it's morning coffee, a break from the sun with a good book or partying in the evening. The way it lights up at night is brilliant. Plus diving off the rocks into the sea, levels from water's edge to 3m above which all the Dads had to have a go at.
Only minor warnings, very slight traffic noise and of course you will hear your neighbours over the very thick hedge if you're up on the house terrace and not down by the pool. Just hope they don't party till 2am. If they do join them. Travel light because the walk down to the Villa with cases involves steps. The kitchen is quite small but has everything for a full on meal prep.
Nearby: 2 very nice restaurants in walking distance and of course the private beach which you can swim round to if you dive off the rocks. A little further down the road is a good super market where you can top up on Sugar Puffs should you need to!
Highly recommended for location and outdoor facilities.
