We stayed for a week on this lovely villa and the photos do not fully do it justice. Alberto and Maria were perfect hosts, communication with them was easy. The pastries and welcome pack in the fridge was a lovely touch.
The villa is situated about 10 - 15 minutes walk from Scopello (15 minutes up and 10 minutes down☺️) It was equipped with everything we needed for our stay for the week. ( Including torches for the walk home after a night out in Scopello.) The pool was beautiful and the surrounding garden lovely. There were lots of places to sit depending on the time of day and the weather. From the front of the house there is a panoramic view of the bay and to the rear mountains. The setting is idealic.
We would recommend having a car for the stay due to the location and to see the sights as buses to Scopello are infrequent.
The villa was peaceful but close enough to amenities such as Scopello Market, Bars and Restaurants both on the way up to Scopello or in the town itself. The sea and the Scopello Tunnaro are within walking distance as is the town and market. The Zingaro Nature reserve is also close by but a car really is needed to reach that.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Maria and would recommend it to anyone as a peaceful home from home, but close enough to everything you need.
