Brilliant ocean views combine with friendly service from host Antonio at this sparkling hillside B&B around halfway between Chianalea and Scilla town. Sunshine's three colourful rooms have poetic names referencing Scilla's maritime climate. Our favourite is the romantic Rosa Dei Venti room. The Tramanto apartment includes a kitchen and accommodates up to five guests. Look forward to legendary breakfasts.
