Our Name
Our name, our journey
Our hotel takes its name from the Greek word Scala, meaning stairs. The property is built on different levels, connected by stairways that guide guests through terraces, gardens, and views of the sea. These steps are more than a practical feature — they symbolize the journey we’ve taken over 30 years, and the unique paths each guest walks during their stay with us.
