Eliana was the perfect host, providing us with all information about the villa and things to see and do in the local area.
The villa is lovely and private, the views superb, this part of Sicily really is stunning, especially in May with the abundance of wild flowers and greenery everywhere.

The local supermarket is within easy reach and has all you’ll need, their deli section has wonderful local food, great for the occasions you’d like to stay in and enjoy the villa and its magnificent views across the bay…lovely sunrises too!
Make sure to visit Erice and the old part of Trapini, and either early morning or late afternoon (to avoid the crowds) for a visit to the beautiful Segesta Temple, all within a 50 minute drive from the villa.
Also make sure to walk the Zingaro nature reserve, highly recommended…take sun cream, comfortable walking shoes and plenty of drink, as well as towels and swimming gear to enjoy the many coves and beaches within the park. We took a 6 hour route up to the centre of the reserve, absolutely beautiful views from over 400 meters high with an abundance of flowers, animals and insects to see along the way.
Lastly the restaurants in Scopello are all within a 10-15 minute walk, Eliana will recommend the best of them if you ask.
