The villa is even nicer in person, with easy walking down to a beautiful beach. The small and shallow pool meant it stayed a lovely temperature all day too
Great location. Walking distance to the beach. Great views from the house and great swimming pool.
Scopello village close by for good meals.
Very enjoyable stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. The outdoor space, pool and the view were second to none. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our 9 night stay. I highly recommend this property.
One of the best rentals weâve ever stayed in. The location is perfect - private pool + beach with great snorkeling within a 3 minute walk. You can beat the crowds down to the beach, or just enjoy the stunning view from the balcony and pool. The house itself is comfortable, well-equipped, with great air conditioning in the bedrooms. The hosts are very helpful, offering local suggestions and thorough orientation to the amenities. Private parking is easy, adjacent to the house. We traveled with our children (under 10), and the hosts were equally as welcoming to them - a great family retreat in Sicily!
We stayed 13 nights at this nice property. Nice view, nice pool. Everything works very well. Good beds. Unfortunately it was a bit noisy through various constructions in the neighborhood. You can walk to the beach which is great. Scopello is a nice and quiet spot. Bigger supermarkets are 20min away in Castellammare.
We loved our stay at this accommodation. The villa was immaculately clean and the outside space and pool brilliant. The balcony area was a really good size and mostly in the shade so great on a hot day. The hosts made us feel very welcome and were great for local information. We would definitely stay again.
Very clean apartment, fully working kitchen, big balcony with sea view in a quiet small town. Not far from several amazing beaches. Private pool. Owner are really nice and gave great advises for restaurants etc.
The apartment was perfect for us. Location wise it was ideal to walk to the small bay at the bottom of the road. Mariella was extremely helpful in letting us know about the local area and restaurant in Scopello village. The pool was the icing on the cake. Would definitely stay again.
It was just a perfect stay. These reviews are all excellent and for a reason! The photos donât really reflect how beautiful the area and everything is. Mariella and Giuseppe are truly great hosts who care about their guests and want to make sure their stay is as good as it can possibly be. The house was spotless, it had everything you needed to enjoy your stay. The pool amazing too. Our hosts recommended plenty of things for us to do, taking their time to write and explain everything down for us which is another sign that they really care, including an amazing wine tasting in the area. Overall, we would really recommend it. Thank you again Mariella and Giuseppe!
After the past two years of travel restrictions and working from home we were really looking forward to a much deserved holiday. I have to say this villa surpassed all expectations and was even more lovely than the photos and the pool was amazing. You will need a car to get from the airport and to go to the supermarket but Scopello village is only about a 20minute walk with some amazing restaurants and cocktail bars. The first part of the walk is uphill and quite uneven so leave your high heels and wedges at home. Mariella was fantastic and all her communication before our stay was so helpful and she even met us at the villa on arrival to talk us through everything. Would 100% recommend this villa, thanks for a super holiday.
The property is absolutely stunning, well presented and tastefully decorated. Well equipped with almost everything you need. The pool was great, particularly given the beautiful garden setting and the amazing local scenery. The host, Mariella was so helpful and kept in touch throughout our stay and gave us some great advice to make our stay even better. Scopello is lovely, all the bars and restaurants were great serving up superb food and drinks. The 2 local supermarkets were both really good, and a special mention to the Solea grocery and eaterie ( next to supermarkets) if you want to enjoy local produce then this place is a must....you can buy their wines for only 3 euro a litre, the red nero d'avola was delicious. There are plenty of great places to visit nearby, we visited Palermo, Segesta, Trapani, Erice, Marsala, Castellammare del Golfo and the beautiful Zingaro to name but a few, all really interesting and beautiful. We have already decided that we need to return to Scopello very soon, hopefully with more sunshine the next time as the weather was very unsettled during our stay although this didn't spoil our stay at all. I highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
What a wonderful trip in a stunning place. Mariella and Giuseppe were warm and generous hosts and welcomed us late at night even though Mariella was celebrating her birthday. Mariella's communication was excellent prior to our stay and she was very helpful when we were there. Stunning and spotless villa. Spacious bedrooms, a good size bathroom and well equipped kitchen. We spent all of our time in the large outside area which was perfect for sunbathing, reading and relaxing with incredible views and a lovely garden. The balcony was perfect and we ate there all the time, loving the evening 'fly past' from the swifts whilst looking at the stunning views. We were there in high season, but it was peaceful and relaxing. Scopello is such a pretty little town, with good restaurants and bars, and the scent of jasmine in the air. Both supermarkets in the area were great, and the green grocer sold delicious home made bread. A short walk to a beach good for snorkelling with amenities and a slightly longer walk to a very pretty secluded beach. A short car drive away is Spiaggia di Guidaloca - a much larger beach and great for swimming. Erice is worth a visit and Terrasini has a pretty centre with pretty beaches. We were there for a week but could have stayed all month. Thank you.
We were there in October with our two kids. Between Palermo, San Vito lo Capo and Zingarro nature reserve this spot is really one of the best locations in Sicilyâs north west. Basically the two stars off the maximum is due to the lower value for money and an unpleasant discussion with the owner:
The water is heated by sun collectors. Which means that when it was cloudy (happened a few times) it has been difficult for me and my wife to take a hot shower. We have been informed on this only when checking in.
The kitchen equipment is really very limited and worn down. The non sticky Teflon pots are extremely scretched. And there was also only one pot with lid. No knifes for preparing food, cheese grinder etc.
The internet connection is terrible as it constantly interrupts and, at least on apple devices, often does not reconnect automatically. While I believe the owner that in this region this is the best you can get, this will be big problem if you need to rely on a good connection (e.g. for work or kids entertainment in the evening).
Because the kids took off the anyway loose cover of the sofa the owners accused us to be also responsible for the stains underneath (claiming they have not been there before). I guaranteed that it was not the kids (who never were alone there) nor us. But the discussion, almost argument, happened twice, during our stay and afterwards (when discussing the deposit). In the end they did not charge us. Having a good insurance, the money would not have been the issue anyway but it was a very unpleasent situation.
The house itself is really spacious including the balcony with great view and the pool. The owners described everything very precisely in a folder: sights, restaurants, supermarkets etc. and of course all the doâs and donts for the apartment. Being there in October we sometimes felt a bit lonely as there were not really many people in the other houses in the neighborhood. Especially when the alarm in the neighborhood went off during two nights.
As mentioned because of the limitations in hot water, internet and kitchen equipment compared to the price we paid, I think it is not really good value for money.
Alt i alt et udemÊrket sted med en dejlig privat pool. Beliggenheden var fantastisk og det var et behageligt og rent hus og omrÄde til huset.Selvom vÊrterne var super venlige og sÞde, havde vi dog hÄbet pÄ noget mere privatliv end tilfÊldet var, da de var til stede nÊsten halvdelen af vores ophold, hvilket vi ikke vidste pÄ forhÄnd.Det havde vÊret rart at fÄ at vide pÄ forhÄnd, at man i det omrÄde af Sicilien ikke mÄ drikke vandet fra vandhanen, da det faktisk blev lidt bÞvlet for os med vores autistiske sÞn. KÞkkenet og udstyret var ret slidt og nok ikke helt egnet til at man laver meget mad selv, ligesom de udendÞrs grill faciliteter var meget slidte.
Sehr gut eingerichtet, modern, komfortabel, mehrere Sitzmöglichkeiten drauĂen, kleiner Pool, 10 Gehminuten vom Strand, einfach eine super Woche verbracht
We had a great stay with friendly and helpful hosts. The house has an amazing view over the ocean and the nearby places are fantastic. We could easily have spent more days there.
N.B.: You will absolutely need a car to get to this house.
N.B.: Be mindful that the number of rooms available is based on the number of guests. In the ad, it appears you book a 3 room house but it turned out only 2 bedrooms were included in the price, as we were 4 people travelling. Luckily, the hosts were very helpful even though we arrived late in the evening and we could sort out the extra room for an additional fee. This was critical to us as we have an autistic teenage son who needs his own room when he travels with us.
Alles war wie beschrieben, eine sehr gut ausgestattete KĂŒche, sehr gute Betten, Insektenschutz, sehr viel Platz.
Aber das Allerbeste sind die freundlichen Vermieter.
Vielen Dank fĂŒr den grandiosen Urlaub!
The accommodation was lovely, with the pool such a delight, and the provision of air-conditioning a necessary essential with glorious sunshine each day of our stay. Mariella and Guiseppe were lovely hosts, very determined to ensure that we had a lovely stay, and were kind enough to share a glass or two of beautiful Sicilian wine with us one evening! The property is excellently located, with easy access to the nearby beach and other wonderful local attractions such as Scopello itself where it was just wonderful to eat in the evenings.
We had the most amazing stay at this villa. The view is just stunning and itâs so peaceful. The Villa had everything we needed for our stay. And the gated pool was perfect as we have a 2 year old so gave us that extra peace of mind. Mariella was just so helpful and friendly. We would love to come back
Schöne Ferienwohnung mit Privatpool und Meerblick in lÀndlicher Umgebung
Sehr nette und bemĂŒhte Vermieter, die Italienisch, Englisch und Deutsch sprechen. Sie wohnen manchmal in der unteren Wohnung. Der Pool, die Terrasse und der riesige Balkon (toller Meerblick!) der oben gelegenen Ferienwohnung sind nicht einsehbar. Das Haus ist an den Hang gebaut, so dass der Eingang ebenerdig ist. Es gibt verschiedene SitzplĂ€tze in Sonne und Schatten zu allen Tageszeiten. Der Pool ist allein fĂŒr die FeriengĂ€ste. Der kleine, noch ursprĂŒngliche Ort Scopello mit Restaurants ist in 15 min zu FuĂ zu erreichen, der nĂ€chste Strand (Kiesstrand, wunderbare Schnorchelerlebnisse) in 5 min. SupermĂ€rkte 3 km, Auto erforderlich.
This was our fourth time at the villa, partly just me and my husband, partly with our grown-up offspring. As before, we had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoying the local area and taking day trips in between.
The house is perfect for us, in particular the pool and extensive outdoor areas - with the new kitchen an added bonus.
We can't wait to return.
Fabulous stay at a gorgeous villa in a stunning location
A truly wonderful villa with fantastic facilities and the most wonderful location. The villa was bright and clean and very well appointed, the beaches (yes, more than one!) are very close by but there is also a private swimming pool to enjoy too!
My family has had this house since the 80s. We bought it when this was still an unknown place, enchanted by the stunning location and the quiet. We live in Palermo, but we come here at least a few weeks every year in the summer and whenever we come it is for us a break from the noise and the stress of our daily life. We love the colours, which change according to the season, the silence, broken only by the singing of the birds and the sound of the waves from the nearby beach, the smells, a mixture of flowers from the garden and sea water. We could sit for hours just enjoying the peace and the view.
Although located in a quiet area, away from the main road and the noise, the house is at a short distance from the village of Scopello and close to several restaurants, bars and pizza places. There is a supermarket, a grocery store and a vegetable market just 5 minutes by car and the town of Castellammare, offering all kinds of facilities, shops and entertainments, is at 15 minutes' drive. The beach is at few steps from the house and the beautiful reserve Lo Zingaro at 1 km. Besides the house lies just between the sea and the mountains, offering the chance of mountain walks to the trekking lovers. If you want to cool off and rest, you can just sunbathe and enjoy the pool, but if you want to keep in touch with work and home, bring your laptop along and connect to our wi/fi network.
