It was a very well appointed house with all basic amenities provided. The beach, which seemed almost private, was only minutes away and had lovely warm water, even in April! (For English people...) In addition, Barbara had left very useful information in English about the sites in the area which we made good use of.

There was a well-stocked supermarket a few minutes car drive away and the village of Scopello offered numerous bars, cafes and restaurants.

While we were there there was building work going on in neighbouring properties, but we assume that this will be finished in the near future. Barbara and her father did their best to get the builders to be considerate and move some of their machinery.

Overall however, we very much enjoyed our stay and particularly loved being so close to the Zingaro nature reserve and having such easy access to the beach.
