Scopello is a five star location! Saverio's lovely apartment is high in the hills of Scopello, so the views are quite breathtaking! We got used to the drive quite quickly and were in close driving distance to a gorgeous family beach, village with a number of good restaurants and a supermarket, and fruit and veg shop (which sells local wine for €1.50!)

We enjoyed cooking for ourselves as well as going out as we had a lovely outdoor kitchen. The bed was really comfy and there was no need for air con as we were nice and cool up in the hills in the evening. The weather in mid August was HOT so we bought an umbrella to take to the beach with us. I would advise anyone staying to bring beach towels as well.

I fell ill on the last day and was nursed back to health by Saverio and his lovely partner! We had checked out but they let us stay in their home until we had to drive back to Palermo airport in the evening. They even invited us to eat lunch with them and their family. They were both beyond welcoming the whole stay but the last day will stand out to us as they were so generous and kind and we were really touched.
