Very nice view on the gulf, quiet place and you can totally live outside! We loved the Scopello area with nice beaches and the Zingaro reserve just nearby is clearly a must. Alfonso our host was very helpful and reactive. Wish going back one day. Grazie Alfonso per la sua ospitalita e i suoi consigli !
A wonderful house - even better than in the pictures
Alfonsos house has wonderful views, spacious bedrooms and a spectacular terrasse for relaxing and enjoying. We were 6 adults and a baby who spent a perfect week in the house, Easter 2016
What an amazing place! The views did not disappoint, nor did the property as a whole. It is as beautiful as it looks. Our host was impeccable. Excellent communication, fantastic recommendations, and perfect accommodations. A special touch: we arrived late due to some flight issues, and Alfonso went to the house and turned on the electric blankets on our beds. It was chilly (we visited in late March), and it was such a thoughtful thing to do. Everything is well-stocked, it's a quick drive to the nature reserve, and really, we're just sad we couldn't stay longer. We highly recommend and hope to return one day!
Wir haben eine Woche im wunderschönen und liebevoll gepflegten und eingerichteten Ferienhaus verbracht. Alles was es zum leben und wohlfĂŒhlen braucht, ist vorhanden und der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, er hat immer ein offenes Ohr fĂŒr uns gehabt. Wir inkl. Hund haben uns pudelwohl gefĂŒhlt. Vor Ort kann man vieles unternehmen und alles ist in unmittelbarer NĂ€he. Unser persönliches Highlight ist die Aussicht auf die Natur vom Ferienhaus aus. Dankeschön noch einmal fĂŒr die Gastfreundschaft. Bis demnĂ€chst.
Schönes Haus, mit grandioser Aussicht. Sauber und gepflegt. Schön angelegter Garten.
Steile Anfahrt, aber nach ein, zwei Anfahrten kein Problem mehr.
4 Erwachsene als GĂ€ste sind allerdings das Maximum.
Unkomplizierter Kontakt mit Vermieter Alfonso bei Anreise und Fragen.
House was in a way better condition than we expected. Everything was Clean and with modern and new amenities.
The pool had an Awesome view over the entire area.
Property far exceeds expectations . Our host , Alfonso , was extremely helpful and a joy to know . The Villa is fabulous and spotless in every respect. We will certainly return and thank our host for his many kindnesses . As rental property hosts ourselves and frequent renters around the world , we know a quality property , and Alfonso hosts one of the best ! David and Giovanna
The photographs on the website do not do the justice to the place. Views are spectacular, even on a cloudy day. While the kitchen is very small, it is quite sufficient (but there were only two of us...) and can be augmented by the garden BBQ.
The access to the property was a bit tricky, but Alfonso provided us with the specific google link that allowed us to find the place without any problem. We highly recommend the place as a place that one will never forget!
This property had obviously been lovingly cared for. As others have stated, the view is spectacular and the outdoor spaces thoughtfully arranged. The owner was a great host, easy to communicate with and gave us all the information we needed. The wines he offers for purchase are excellent! The time we spent at this rental was peaceful, comfortable and the highlight of our Sicily stay. Highly recommend!
The owner, Alfonso, was wonderful. He met us at the property and was always responsive. The property is more spectacular than the photos. The location couldnât be better. Close to entrance to Zingaro reserve , and a 30 âwalk to Scopello. We were 6 adults and had 3 bedrooms, 1 inside bathroom, 1 outside and 2 outdoor (private ) showers which we loved.
Everything was perfect. We enjoy our stay so much. The Villa with its view, the pool the hole ground are wonderful. And also Alfonso try to do each time his best to comfort our stay. Thanks for all
Wir durften in diesem herrlichen Anwesen 7 Wochen leben. Eine unĂŒbertreffliche Lage mit einer tollen Ausstattung.
Noch einmal unseren herrlichen Dank an Alfonso fĂŒr seine zuvorkommende Betreuung.
Die Villa liegt am Rande des Nationalparks dello Zingaro. Es hat eine phantastische Aussicht ĂŒber den Golf von Castellamare. Die Terrasse haben wir genutzt, um draussen zu Essen und Sonnenbaden. Die NĂ€he zum Nationalpark, zu Scopello, San Vito Lo Capo, Trapani und die StrĂ€nde in der Umgebung, machen es zu einem idealen Ort fĂŒr Wanderlustige, Kulturbegeisterte und Meerbegeisterte.
What a wonderful holiday! Alfonso was so helpful and the check-in was great - we didn't arrive until quite late but Alfonso was there to greet us and give us all the info on the house and the area. Everything was very clean and the house had everything we needed. The outdoor space is stunning - we spent one day of our holiday just hanging out at the villa, as it's such a peaceful and beautiful place to be. The house is brilliantly situated, as it is peaceful, but you can also walk to the town (very pretty, with a good selection of restaurants), a local beach, and Zingaro Nature Reserve (recommended!! The water at the beaches is perfection). Erice is not to be missed as a day trip. I would absolutely recommend this property for your holiday - 10 out of 10 - thanks Alfonso!
Mooi ingerichte villa, alles voldoende aanwezig.
Goede verzorging door eigenaar, vriendelijk en reageerd snel.

Wij hebben oprecht genoten en kunnen deze villa van harte aanbevelen.
Ook in de omgeving veel te zien en te doen.
Huurauto is wel een must vinden wij.
Alfonso bedankt!!

Genial
Es war ein tolles Ferienhaus mit sensationellen Blick. Der Gastgeber war super nett. Ist wirklich weiter zu empfehlen.
What an absolutely beautiful location this home has. The view is breathtaking. There were a total of 6 adults on this trip and the home was plenty spacious enough. We enjoyed that gorgeous view in the mornings, afternoons and at night looking at the lights of Castellammare de Golfo and Palermo. I could hear the waves crashing from the open window in the bedroom.I LOVED that.
The home itself is extremely clean and furnished with everything you could possibly need; glasses, dishes, towels, extra pillows and even wine to purchase if you set that up before hand. The living room is inviting and cozy, the kitchen is fully functional with toaster, blenders and more. The bedrooms had shelving, air conditioning and fans and were very comfortable. The deck where we spent many evenings just relaxing is absolutely amazing!!
The location itself on the West coast was ideal for us. One great feature is that its close to Scopello Market. We picked up food, snacks, wine, pastries, sandwiches, salami, proscuitto, peach juice etc there. Very convenient. At night we took a 5 minute ride to Scopello's tiny city center to enjoy casual dinners after our busy days. During the week we were there we went to Erice (1 hour), Trapani (50 minutes), Cefalu (2 hours..and not to be missed!) and Agrigento (2 hours). Castellammare de Golfo is about 15 minutes away and Palermo airport is only 50 minutes away. The home was in the perfect position for us to enjoy day trips with our rental car.
The house is located on the border of the Zingaro Reserve and I highly suggest you hike this. Its a tad strenuous and there are steep parts but the payoff of seeing the views is worth it. You can walk there or I would suggest parking the car below because its quite steep returning to the house.
Alfonso is VERY very nice and helpful. From before we left for the trip with all my questions to us trying to find the house (its not hard once you know where it is! :) to answering other questions he was wonderful.
I would highly recommend this home on the west coast, away from all the craziness of the bigger cities. The view is so beautiful - today is our first day back and it was so sad not waking up to the ocean. I think I'm going to print up one of my beautiful photos and put it on my bedroom wall so I can ALWAYS wake up to that view. Thank you Alfonso - my family and I loved our trip in your beautiful home and we can't thank you enough!. Arrivederci! Until we meet again!!
Fabulous stay in a lovely villa with the most incredible sea view
From the moment Alfonso greeted us at his beautiful villa we felt relaxed and very happy with our choice. The accommodation is spacious and well equipped. The outside space is the highlight with beautiful gardens and a cooling plunge pool with views across the bay. Scopello is a short drive away and very picturesque with plenty of good restaurants and bars, some with sea views. The nature reserve is just down the hill and there are a number of lovely beaches nearby. We would definitely like to return.
Das Ferienhaus hat unsere Erwartungen ĂŒbertroffen. Der Blick vom Haus auf das Meer und die umliegenden HĂŒgel ist traumhaft. Das Haus liegt perfekt am Hang ĂŒber dem Meer. Attraktiv ist auch die NĂ€he zum Naturschutzgebiet, das sehr schöne Wanderungen und Badegelegenheiten bietet. Zum nĂ€chstgelegen Strand kann man vom Haus aus in ca. 15 Minuten laufen (der RĂŒckweg ist aber recht anstrengend, da es nur bergauf geht). man kann aber in nur 5 Minuten mit dem Auto an den Strand gelangen, der ^zwar klein, aber sehr schön ist. Insgesamt ist die Gegend um Scopello sehr schön.
Das GelĂ€nde um das Haus ist sehr schön angelegt, mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten, von denen man die schöne Aussicht genieĂen kann. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, es fehlte uns an nichts. Das Haus und das GrundstĂŒck sind sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die BegrĂŒĂung durch den EigentĂŒmer war sehr freundlich und professionell. Meine beiden Kinder, mein Mann und ich haben uns sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt und wĂŒrden jederzeit wiederkommen!
Vielen Dank!
We booked our holiday with relatively little knowledge of Sicily or the specific location of Scopello, but were lucky enough to find ourselves possibly the most relaxing holiday ever! The location of the villa was perfect for us, as we wanted to combine a bit of adventurous activity (which we found by walking in the nature reserve) with easy access to restaurants and more accessible beaches when we didn't want to walk too far. Scopello village is a traditional delight, and we were amazed at the range of restaurants and bars for such a small place with a limited online presence.The villa itself had everything we needed, with the variety in the outdoor space being the key to our enjoyment. We used the pool (which i would class as a dipping, rather than swimming pool), barbeque and pizza oven during our stay, and were able to vary where we sat, relaxed and ate depending on the weather, because of the many options provided. One of the reasons we picked the specific villa was because of the pictures of the view, but the pictures really do not do justice to the reality. The view is simply magnificent, day and night, and once the children were in bed we spent many evenings just admiring the view across the bay with drink in hand. Alfonso is the ideal host- he was there when we needed him to help us find the villa when we arrived very late in the evening and got a bit lost, provided us with some fantastic local traditional food as a surprise, was contactable at all times and helpful when required, but otherwise let us get on with enjoying the property to ourselves. We often say the world is too small a place to go to the same place on holiday twice, but are seriously considering going back to Scopello and Palma del Zingaro again in the future.
There is not much that we can add to all the previous reviews. They say all the wonderful things about the house, Scopello and Alfonso. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. The house is so well equiped, with so many touches that make it so welcoming: the bottles of good sicilian wine, different typical products, at very good prices, and all the basics in the kitchen (oil, vinegar, spices, etc). We especially enjoyed the huge outside space, where you can sit, eat and contemplate the marvelous views from different parts of the terraces. Finally the litlle pool, where we spent lot of time, watching distant horizons during the day, and charmed at night by all the glittering lights on earth and above... Thank you so much Alfonso!
