The house is in a fantastic location with tremendous views of the sea and mountains and a lovely terrace and garden (just like the photos) including a covered veranda. In the morning the sun shines into the house as soon as it rises. We came in Christmas week, luckily the weather was great, but for the winter the house has a open fire and plenty of wood and electric blankets for the cold nights.

Alfonso was super helpful both before and during our stay, he greeted us with the fire lit to warm up the house. You likely need his help to find the house its up a very steep and rough track, esp if you arrive in the dark. Its 20 mins walk or 5 mins drive to the nature reserve entrance (entrance fee) and beach and to the centre of Scopello. For families and groups its handy that the house has a second toilet. We used the barbecue and outdoor pizza oven which kids loved.

There's lots of toys for kids and plenty of outdoor chairs and things to enjoy the sunny terrace. In low season all the restaurants in Scopello are often closed so be aware you'll need to drive 20 mins to the nearest big town for shopping and restaurants.

Thank you Alfonso for a great stay in a lovely house, your help and hospitality.
