About this villa rental
Local Information
A gourmet's delight. With the prolific Mediterranean and its doorstep, although there are many delicious varieties of local pasta.
Within the village of Scopello lie a wonderful restaurant, cafes and a few local shops. Easily reached is an organic market where fresh produce is picked from the surrounding fields.
The "Gypsy" National Park is a seven kilometer long line of magnificent inlets, grottos, low reefs and fantastic sandy coves.
Local Cuisine
It will be foolish to try and describe the island's exceptional cousin in such a small space. One could never do justice to an art form, which has taken hundreds of years to develop.
"Bar Nettuno" in Scopello is the perfect way to begin and end your day. Piero, the owner welcomes all of his drinks to the early hours. "La Tavernetta and" La Terrazza "are also worth mentioning for their stunning views and superb fresh food. Castellammare is a bustling town that is dotted numerous bars and restaurants. Try La Cambusa "for seafood Sicilian fish dishes, especially those eaten in the open air, to be definitely savoured.
Boat and Beaches
This western coastline is full of magnificent beaches, unspoilt bays and splendid beaches. Picturesque seascapes follow one another like a beautiful string of pearls. Calabianca with its turquoise waters and grottos is followed by Guidaloca a sandy, pebbly beach with a limpid sea of ever changing colors. Nearby is Cala Rossa where a pathway leads you down with an underground grotto. Finally, you arrive at the secluded bays and inlets, which form the spectacular Zingaro nature reserve.
There are numerous places where you can hire boats or alternatively several agencies offer excursions along the coast past the Zingaro. From Trapani you can take a ferry and visit the island of Pantelleria or the three exotic Egadi Islands.
Places of Interest
Sicily keeps a special place for the discerning traveler who appreciates the finer elements of life. An outstanding heritage of artistic achievement. Visit the extraordinary and unique Greek site of Segesta, with its Doric temple and amphitheater in tranquil beauty amidst nature. A little further afield is the enclave of Erice with its delightful medieval ambience and breathtaking hilltop location. Also not to forget the Segesta Baths, whose waters, classified as hypothermic, sulfurized, highly mineralized, play an important therapeutic action.
The capital is 50 km from Scopello, but does not go with an itinerary.
Activities & Excursions
Sicily is at its finest out of season, in spring or October when the crowds have eased and the temperature has dipped slightly. It marks the time of the traditional grape or olive harvest while in the year one of the greatest attraction of visiting its western tip is the prospect of sampling. Otherwise why not learn the secrets of great Italian cooking while you relax in the serious style in our villa. For those wanting to stretch themselves, the Sicilian hills are bathed in history. Naturalistic landscape and local people who are yet to turn their natural disposition for hospitality into an industry.

Villa that feels like home easily. Fitted with all necessities although most of them are dated and some even needs replacement. The property is relatively large and is located right next to two smaller villas on both sides. The neighbors can be ignored from the main living areas but one does not enjoy full privacy. Probably this will get worse when the apartments on top of the hill on the other side of the road will be completed.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The pool is big and perfect for exercise. The terrace is spacious and has many spots to enjoy the shade or a breeze. The view is great although not perfect. The hill on the north blocks quit a big part of the coastal view which is especially pretty at night. The location is very good if you don't mind driving 30 min to and from a very good supermarket down the road to Scopello, and 15 min to an even better restaurant in Baida. The house has thick walls and keeps the heat out pretty good. We've seen a few mosquitos during our weeklong stay, and the wasps are the friendly type. The owner is Italian but speaks English fluently. Kind person with a lot of local experience.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2019
This property is stunning and has all the facilities. This part of Sicily is very rugged and not really looked after by Italian tourists. Beautiful Erice is a must, and the centre of Castelammare near the sea front is bustling and has some lovely places to eat. The rest of Castelammare itself is full of holiday flats and very busy as well as dirty, and not well kept! The beaches are better towards the further end of the town, and Guiodaloca Beach is awful and like a sardine tin ! Italians do not have much patience for slow drivers or know of any Highway Code !! Be careful ! The nearest supermarkets are very close and fairly small. They do not sell basics like eggs..!! so if you want to find a bigger one then you have to go to the outskirts of the town. There is a good supermarket on the edge of San Vito lo Copo town, which is big, although we wasted our time going to the Beach, which is NOT the best in Sicily.....probably the worst !

La maison de Giovanni est un havre de paix à quelques minutes de la côte qu’elle domine avec une vue magnifique sur le golfe de Castellammare. Les emménagements ont été très bien pensés et s’articulent entre la maison et la piscine, où l’ont retrouve salons, salle à manger et cuisine. Le confort et les équipements correspondent à ce qui est présenté dans l’annonce. Les abords de la piscine et le jardin sont très fleuris et parfaitement entretenus.
Le contact avec Giovanni a été très cordial et les échanges facilités par sa parfaite maîtrise de l’anglais.
Nous recommanderons cette villa à nos meilleurs amis pour qu’ils profitent aussi de cette opportunité.
