A Delightful Stay in Scopello

Located in a stunning part of Sicily, the villa has remarkable gardens and a glorious view of the harbour and beach. Great kitchens for cooking inside and out. We were well supported by the family who own this holiday home and by a local family who care for the property. Grazie per tutto!

Magical Jewel

A private family home that sits atop a Cliff. It is down to earth, unpretentious yet sophisticated. We took long glorious swims everyday in the turquoise cove below that was our view from the house. Easy private access. It was dreamy and we loved our host Marco. He couldn’t have been more helpful.

Warm, lovely Italian family summer home

We absolutely loved our stay at Mossimo's wonderful family home. After traveling around Sicily for a couple weeks, we were so ready to rest and relax and this cozy, authentic summer home was exactly what we needed. You can tell it has been enjoyed for generations and is filled with family mementos, art and books. I absolutely loved all of the traditional ceramic dinnerware. You can tell there is a history of collecting and enjoying meals together. Our daily commute down the steps through the orchard to Spiggia Guidaloca was a gift. Spending the hot days alongside Italian families made for a beautiful, authentic experience. Market Scopello is an amazing market nearby and the Solea Azenda Agricola is a lovely spot for fresh local produce, eggs, fresh milk and olive oil. The Village of Scopello was so charming and Mossimo gave amazing restaurant recommendartions. This was the last part of our trip and Scopello was our favorite area. It just felt so authentic and easy to enjoy. we felt so at home and really enjoyed the indoor / outdoor living. it's difficult to express just how special our time in Scopello was and Mossimo's home and the energy of his property is something we will never forget and We cannot wait to return!

Lovely stay in Scopello

This property has one of the best views and locations we stayed at in Sicily. We were so happy to wake up and be able to walk down to the beach for a swim and a coffee. The house had everything we needed to cook our own food, make tea, coffee, wash clothes etc. We spent most of our time on the terrace and sunroom. We enjoyed going into Scopello nearby and the market down the road had all the supplies we needed. There was a very heavy rainstorm (probably very rare) on one day and we spent the day cleaning all of the water that came in. The owner sent someone to inspect as soon as he could, but we had already done all of the clean up of the flooded waters. The power went out (probably due to the rain) and again the owner sent someone to inspect. Unfortunately when it went out at night we didn't have a way of letting the owner know but he did send someone the next day. Overall very nice house. There were a lot of steep stairs to get up and down to the bedrooms, which was sometimes challenging for my older dad, so for anyone with problems with stairs, please take this in to consideration when booking. Thanks very much for the lovely stay.

This is an incredibly stylish and well-located house, with warm and helpful hosts. It was perfect for our family of four--two adults and two small kids. The walk down to the beach passes through a beautiful garden, onto a beach full of multi-colored rocks and pebbles--our six-year-old started calling it "magical cove." I loved that the house was close to Scopello and a very good market for picking up groceries, but still felt private and secluded. We are already dreaming of coming back.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to us to know that you and your family had such a memorable stay. We absolutely love that your six-year-old named our little beach "Magical Cove"—that's such a beautiful compliment, and we'll be thinking of it every time we walk down there! We're delighted that you enjoyed both the privacy of the house and its convenient location for exploring Scopello and the surrounding area. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back whenever you're ready to return. Until then, we wish you all the very best and hope to see you again soon!

Abgelegenes tolles Haus mit einem privaten Zugang zum Meer. Die Aussicht auf der großen Terrasse ist traumhaft und die Wohnung verfügt über mehrere Klimaanlagen. Zwei Schlafzimmer und ein Bad sind im Untergeschoss, grosser Wohnbereich mit Küche sowie einem weiteren Bad sind im Erdgeschoss und zu einem weiteren Schlafzimmer kommt man über ein steile Treppe. Die Küche ist reichlich mit Utensilien ausgestattet und wenn man möchte kann man auch noch eine Outdoor-Küche nutzen.Massimo sowie Tante Gerda waren sehr freundlich und man bekam hilfreiche Tipps.Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und das Haus können wir nur empfehlen.
