About this property

Semi-Detached House with Private Pool close to the Beach

The house lies in a beautiful Mediterranean countryside, a few minute walk from the beach. A large garden and a swimming pool, open from June to September, provide outdoor relaxation. The main building accommodates 4 guests. A pretty cottage in the garden offers two more beds on request at an extra charge. A beautiful view of the sea and the close-by nature reserve ‘Lo Zingaro’ may be enjoyed from the balcony. A few hundred meters from the picturesque village of Scopello and the enchanting site of the Tonnara (old disused tuna-fishing station, now a bathers' resort), where the end of the film Ocean Twelve was shot. The location is very quiet, but you can find all facilities, shops, bars and restaurants at a few kilometers distance. A car is absolutely required to reach the property and visit the area.

What an amazing find. We spent 2 weeks as the property and Maria and Giuseppe were great hosts. Very friendly and on hand for any issues (which there were none) should they occur. Excellent location and the pool was lovely and relaxing. The villa was very clean and the walk to the village was just 15 mins up hill. Thank you both for a lovely stay and hospitality.

Lovely apartment within walking distance of two beaches - one quite busy, but with a cafe and another much quieter without facilities. Lots of outside living space. Great swimming pool. Use of a BBQ. The hosts are lovely and very responsive to any questions you may have.

Outstanding, breathtaking views from villa

We had an amazing week at this beautiful villa. The views are amazind. Im not sure i have stayed anywhere with a better view. The villa itself was lovely and immaculate. We loved having our own private pool. There are lovely walks to two beaches and the very pretty village of Scopello, where we enjoyed spending several evenings. Mariella was a very helpful, kind host. We loved staying here and would love to return.

Beautiful accommodation with fantastic view

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.

Amazing stay!

We had the most amazing stay at this villa. The view is just stunning and it’s 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

Super Scopello

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.

Very nice vacation

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 fell in love with Sicily!

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.

Perfection!

One of the best rentals we’ve 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!

Beautiful house in a stunning location

The house was immaculate with a stunning view of the sea and the national reserve. Mariella was a great host, was very thorough and gave us some good information about the area. The house is lovely, but it’s the outdoor space we really enjoyed. Seating areas at the front and back and around the pool were excellent. We had sole use of the pool and used it every day. There are two pebble beaches nearby. One is a two minute walk downhill which gets really busy, but has a couple of bars/cafes. The other is about 10 minutes walk and is much smaller and quieter. Both are lovely with crystal clear water. The village of Scopello is about a 20 minute walk with the first part all uphill. Scopello itself is lovely with a few shops and excellent restaurants. The nearest small supermarket is a five minute drive and the produce is outstanding. A great place to stay and relax. We will definitely be back.

Perfect

It was just a perfect stay. These reviews are all excellent and for a reason! The photos don’t 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!

Just what our family needed

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.

Wonderful house with great view

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.

Hot happy holiday

Excellent communication before, during & after our holiday. Clear directions from Palermo airport. This villa benefits from a secure & well maintained pool, which was greatly appreciated in the hot weather. The villa contains all of the facilities required for one week's holiday. Although a combi microwave is available & not a separate oven / microwave as implied on the website. The owners are friendly & any queries were efficiently dealt with. We visited Erice, Segesta, Selinunto, Agrigento & Palermo - the temples were amazing (Segesta & Agrigento temples - for us were the best). The botanical gardens in Palermo are well worth a visit, as relaxing & containing some spectular plants. Unfortunately Palermo palace was closed during our visit. We would certainly recomend this villa. Thank you.

Beautiful place to stay

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.

About the host

Hosted by Mariella D'Amico - Claudio Sarro

Host profile image
We are a family of three : my partner and I are both teachers, our daughter, Irene, is 18 and attends the first year of university.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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.
