Annicka's place is beautiful. It's huge, so tonnes of space for everyone. The garden is incredible. It's a short (albeit steep) walk to the beach, which contains the most beautiful clear waters ever! If you're with kids it's great and there was a high chair and baby cot provided in the house, which is so helpful. The covered outdoor space is lovely and great for spending all your time with tables, chairs and sofas. It's very quiet and restful. The beach is busy on weekends but also quiet and pleasant, so we didn't mind the business as everyone is being very respectful of each other. The village of Scopello is about a 15 min walk away, and has some great places to eat out. It only has a tiny shop for groceries so you would need to visit the supermarket in order to get supplies. This is about a 40 min walk or 20 min drive but it has everything you need. We didn't visit any other areas as we really just wanted to relax and go swimming but it seems like a great location if you wanted to explore the coast. My only note would be that the road down to the beach and up from the house is quite steep, so if there is anyone in your party who has any kind of mobility issues you would need a car but that said we found it fine, even with the buggy and my 73 year old mother used it as a daily work out! We would love to come back one day.
