About this property

Tipical stone farmhouse with private pool surrounded by a wonderful garden rich of succulent plants and olive and almond trees. The villa, built in 1700 AD, is independent, furnished with antiques and located in a typical rural village on the hill of Scopello. The area is cool even in summer and the house has perimeter stone walls one meter wide so you never feel hot. The villa is very close to the natural reserve of "Zingaro" where you enjoy the contact with nature meeting in the wild rabbits, porcupines, owls, hawks, foxes, sheep and cows. You'll be able to swim into one of the most striking place of sicily: the “tonnara” of scopello with its marvelous stacks and in the evening taste the very good local seafood and meat with the best wines of sicily. Otherwise you will visit the most important archaeological sites in the sicily: segesta, selinunte, mothia or take a trip to palermo, monreale, trapani, erice, marsala and the egadi isles (favignana, levanso and marettimo). At the end you can remain at home and enjoy the greatest quiet, walking among almond trees and succulent plants or swinging under a secular olive tree.

Beautiful property, we would love to come back.

This was a lovely old stone property with a beautiful large garden and swimming pool. Rosalba and family were perfect hosts and commication was great prior to and during our stay. The property was clean and well equipped and had everything we needed. It was lovely to be in the mountains but with the coast just a 15 minute drive away and it made a great base to explore the area from including Scopello, Castellammare del Golfo, Zingaro nature reserve and Segesta. The property offered everything we could want, sun, shade, pool and it was great to have the cooler bedrooms downstairs. We had a brilliant stay here and have left with wonderful memories.

BEAUTIFUL RUSTIC HOME

Wonderful escape to a charming cottage. Bedrooms were large and the outside areas were exceptional: delightful cactus gardens and views over stunning scenery. We would not hesitate to return.

Rural hideaway

A traditional stone property set in an abundant and extensive cacti and succulents garden right on the edge of the National park. We’d loved this property, a windy uphill drive into the hills from the coastline near Scopello. The thick walls and small windows keep the large double bedrooms cool without the need for aircon. A welcome change. The outdoor space is wonderful with various seating areas to eat and relax, cook and wander. Watch out for mossies - not numerous, but persistent. We loved using the pool overlooking the hillsides and surrounded by olive trees. The owners were friendly and helpful and Gusieppe the gardener pops round to look after the pool and greeted us on arrival with a huge smile. We were grateful to have the laundry room and the local deli was fabulous! About a ten minute downhill drive. The supermarket next door was never open while we were there. Perhaps out of season? In addition to the paid for beach and parking at Scopello we found a small, quiet, pebbly beach for snorkelling just a bit further up the road reached by a narrow metal gate and steep walk. Loads of fish to see and the occasional jelly fish. Great fun!

Lovely traditional villa above Scopello

We were met by Fabio and Rosalba when we arrived, they explained everything we needed to know and how to use stuff. They live next door at weekends so were very handy. The villa is in a very rural location, so a car was a must. Nights were so, so quiet and the setting was fabulous. Facilities were suitable for the 2 of us, more than 4 would be a push. We would go back again, Sicily is a lovely place.

Fabulous stay in the most charming house with pool & excellent hosts

We just spent the most amazing 10 days in this gorgeous property. Rosalba and Fabio are such amazing hosts and ensured we had the most memorable holiday. We thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful gardens with plentiful places to relax and enjoy the surroundings - reading, swimming and taking in the views. A fabulous stay if you want to get away from it all with the ability to visit local places of history and the amazing beaches and fabulous Italian food. Thank you so much!
