Excellent location on the ocean. Explore the rocky shoreline and swim on calm days. Nearby grocery/restaurant is excellent. Cozy apartment for a couple. Ice cold air conditioning for the hot Sicilian sun. Kind and friendly hostess. Beautiful grounds. Would stay for a month if we could!
This property is absolutely unbelievable!! Everything was perfect, the grounds are beautiful and the view is unmatched. The owner is the sweetest person ever! I highly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed in the slightest!
Hanny was a gracious host. Her property is beautifully maintained and the house was very clean. The view is spectacular and the crystal clear water is just a few steps away. I went in later February and the water was refreshing. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay again.
The location is pretty isolated, so you absolutely need a car. The private access to the beach is wonderful. Housing is a bit small but it’s okay for 2 persons. I recommend booking this place
We had a wonderful 4-night stay with Hanni. The beautiful small cottage, dreamy garden and direct sea access, invites you to live a simple life close to nature during your stay. Hanni was a perfect and caring host - borrowed us additional kitchen utensils generously and was help with all questions.
Such a relaxing and beautiful spot. Shared property with the hosts who were incredibly kind and generous. Made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Lovely little cottage with spectacular private access to the sea. This place is a dreamy romantic spot. It’s small but has everything you need got a seaside holiday. Our host Hanni is also lovely and respectful of our privacy. Would go back!
Unbelievable view from the terrace! Endless blues of sky and water. Cozy clean cottage, very quiet. Great Host!
Can't wait to go back! Thanks again Hanni.
Perfectly set up as cozy retreat for a couple seeking peace and quiet. Well situated for Scopello and Zingaro Reserve.
Only request would be for some newer outdoor furniture
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! From the sweet Giovanna to the gorgeous view and private access to crystal clear water! There was even a puppy to play with bonus!! The cottage was quaint and very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. Fantastic location too! We are coming back and staying for at least a week if not more next time!!
We spent a fantastic week at this property. The house has everything you need and we spent all our time on one of the terraces with views over the beautiful cove. We loved the private access down to the beach, and snorkeling along the rocky coast.
Hanni made us feel so welcome and was just a fantastic host. She was always happy to help with advice or just to have a nice chat. We hope to come back soon.
We had a wonderful time, it’s hard to describe how beautiful the setting is. The view and the swimming cove are perfect. The apartment is well equipped and very clean, we slept well and Hanni was very kind. We had a problem with accessing our vrbo account, and generally with communication because we had lost a phone whilst hiking, the family were very understanding. We would love to come back and thank you!

My partner and I had the best time!! We wanted to spend sone relaxing time away from any trouble and found exactly that at Giovannas oasis. The private sea access is incredible and the hosts are heartwarming. You have a cute supermarket just 2 minutes away with authentic italian food. Thank you so much and we will definitely come back!! :)
We have been diaappointed before with photos not accurately portraying the property. This property far surpassed the photos and our expectations. HANNI was a wonderful, curteous and gracious host. I would highly recommend this property and definitely would return. Thank you, Hanni!!
We enjoyed the beautiful cottage with the marvellous view over the endless sea.
Everything was perfectly clean and nicely arranged. So quiet, I slept so well. I also loved the lovely garden, the dog and cats. Hanni, our host , was most friendly and helpful. We really thank you so much , dear Hanni . Love from Vienna from Verena and Herwig
We where in Scopello for a week for our sons wedding . Giovanna is a wonderful host and her property is very special. The cottage is small but has everything you could need . Cold A/C and lovely water pressure . The view and private staircase to the Mediterranean is a great feature . We swam 3 days so calm and protected. I had a beautiful Siamese cat that kept us company . Truly a great escape and close to the Tonnera and Scopello city square and fabulous market and restaurants. Could not have been better !
We absolutely loved our three night stay at Giovanna’s place. It is basically in Scopello, the shops and beach being a one minute drive north, and the southern entrance to Zingaro less than ten minutes. The house is situated up on the cliffs overlooking the marvellous Sicilian coast and Tyrrhenian Sea. There is a private staircase down to the water where we had ritual morning and late afternoon swims. Expect mesmerising sunsets and sunrises. The house itself is simple and cozy, but was adequate, particularly given we spent most of out time outdoors. THe kitchen is basic, but we still cooked three delicious dinners. Giovanna is the sweetest host who met us personally at check-in, and kissed us goodbye at checkout. Can’t recommend this place more.
It was a true pleasure spending 4 nights at Hanni’s Cottage. The cottage is very clean and comfortable, and appointed with all the amenities for a very enjoyable stay. It’s perfectly located on a large parcel of land that is part of the coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and a five minute drive to either Scopello or the Zingaro Nature Reserve. You have two patio’s which you can spend hours enjoying the views over a bottle(s) of wine, and your own access to a secluded private section of the coastline with very easy access to great swimming. There’s a ladder embedded in the rocks that allows for easy entry and exit from the water. It is peaceful, private and the views are unbeatable. Hanni is charming, and graceful, and was a very kind host. Communication while booking and leading up to our stay was very easy, and the check-in was a breeze. Hanni’s cottage is a real gem and when the time came it was hard to leave. We recommend staying at Hanni’s Cottage.

Beautiful scenery
When you drive in, you will be mesmerized by the beauty of this property. It is stunning. However, the accommodations inside are limited. The kitchen area is not conducive to a lot of cooking cuz there is no counter space. The bed is not particularly comfortable and the couch wasn't either (2 seater). So I found myself not very comfortable inside. The outside. There is a; nice porch but the umbrella does not work and I didn't know how to adjust the lounge chairs. Hanni was nice enough to drop off fresh eggs and lemons which is endearing. She's a very lovely elderly Italian lady. I think overall, if you're not going to spend a lot of time there, it's fine. I came from the United States. I did not speak Italian and Hanni didn't speak English. I was on a solo trip as a 64-year-old woman and I was really hoping that she could be a person to help me navigate.....At the end of the day i really can't. complain based on the price but I think it's important to know the specifics when committing to travel. But you will be completely in awe of the scenery in your front yard. No one can compete with that,!
Hanni is an outstanding hostess. She was very responsive to us arriving to the property as we gave her little notice when we departed from the airport. The little cottage is unmatched. The grounds around the property are so peaceful and much larger than we thought. We loved the sun patio and the view from our room. The cottage is so cozy yet spacious enough to fill your every need. We are already dreaming of coming back to stay. I would book this property again and again. Incredibly clean and full of charm!
We arrived late and enjoyed a restaurant down in town nearby 15 min drive. They usually require reservations but it’s worth trying to get in without one. Other places we enjoyed. (The off season many shops in scopello were closed as well as the main beach).
Ristorante Pizzeria La Duchessa
Le Grazie Pizzeria- Ristorante
Tropical Bar - coffee and pastry
Scopello local
Solea Azienda Agricola - coffee pastry, egg breakfast, delicious hand made pasta. Farm to table. * super close to bnb highly recommend! Open in the off season.
Tonnara di Scopello - closed in the off season but we enjoyed the viewpoint.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful peaceful get away. Though the cabin is small and cooking facilities limited it was perfect for the two of us . We appreciated the security gate access and the private seaside access. While there are 125 steps down to the sea it was worth very bit is exercise to swim in that beautiful sea. There are several ropes that do require replacement on the trek down and we would urge you to bring water shoes . We would have our morning coffee on the patio overlooking the sea every morning - then a swim - what ever afternoon exploring adventure we had planned - back to our oasis - Apero Spritzer- nap - dinner -watch the stars appear on our patio . Total relaxation.
There is a wonderful garden market just down the road that not only supplies fresh vegetable's / oils/honey/lunch they also serve dinner ! Grocery market / pharmacy on the same road.
It was easy access to Trapani - Palermo airport - two beaches close by with chair and umbrella rental available .
Hanni and her handy man Cipriano made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable . We would not hesitate to book here once again .
Thank you Hanni !

Die Unterkunft ist klein aber fein, mit einem unglaublichem Ausblick. Wir konnten hier nochmal ein paar warme Tage genießen und auch den privaten Meerzugang nutzen. Hanni ist eine unglaublich herzliche und hilfsbereite Frau! Wir haben uns bei ihr, ihrem Mitarbeiter und natürlich dem süßen Hund Hulk sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
