The villa is as described. We were only two, but it can accommodate many more. It is very private, but still very convenient to the town. We arrived after 7 on our first night and picked up a delicious dinner at the market in town on the way to the villa. Massimo was waiting for us at the villa and showed us the basics. Since the sun had already set we had a little trouble locating the gate to enter because it was behind us on the left side and we could only see the villas in front of us on the right. Milk, water and coffee were pre-stocked and a lovely bottle of Sicilian wine was also waiting. Waking up to sunrise over the water was spectacular and we had coffee on the terrace each morning. It's a very short (although uphill walk) into the village. We ate at Bar Nettuno two nights in a row. Lovely ambiance, great food and great service. The private beach has the clearest water- that and a swim at the Tonnaro are not to be missed. Easy communication throughout and an easy, flexible check-out. We will stay here again if we return to Scopello!
