We stayed at Chiara’s studio for 6 days at the end of May. We arrived so late and Chiara came to pick us up at Salina port with a small fee. You need to be transported to her house (7 km from Santa Marina and 2.5 about km from Malfa). The next morning, Chiara took us to Malfa, to show us around , that is supermarket, snack bar, bank, beach, and the scooter rental shop. She has been kind since we bought bottles of water and some supplies , again we hopped into her car to come home with her. The property is one of the three, attached to each other like in the picture. We were allowed to pick apricots and lemons from her garden and other herbs as well. It was lovely sitting at the big and spacious balcony. Inside the house, a studio has got everything you may need, quite spacious and the bathroom was big. We hired a scooter or you may use the bus which is very convenient as well. Beautiful beach of Pollara is 5 km from her house, we walked there and came back on the bus. We went there twice, 2nd time on the scooter.
I love Chiara’s property, if you don’t feel like going anywhere, you could just sit and enjoy the view from the balcony like we did.
