We so enjoyed staying at Marino's place in Scopella. The house was even better than the photos and the outdoor areas are everything previous reviewers have written about - gorgeous! Marino could not have been a better or more communicative host - he even arranged a sail boat tour for us at the last minute, which was an amazing time (highly recommend). Scopella itself could not be more charming, we finally figured out that people come from all around the area to dine at the many restaurants. It is a very pretty little village with plenty of eating and drinking establishments, many of which are steps from the front door. Something to consider if you are looking for a quiet place, things didn't really settle down until after 12AM. The house itself was spacious and well appointed - again the grounds are pretty unbelievable with amazing views and private spaces. I would not hesitate to rent this apartment again and highly recommend it! Thank you Marino!
