If I could give Luigi six stars--I would. Our stay in Scopello with Luigi was simply unforgettable. Incredible value for the location. The house is modest, cozy and the walls are framed with old black and white photos of fisherman in Scopello. Our first day we took the boat trip with Luigi which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. As a former diving instructor, Luigi was able to show us some of the most hidden gems along the coast: caves and grottos that are only accessible by boat. We went swimming, had lunch on the boat, and fished for tuna. We ended up catching 2 and to our surprise Luigi cooked the tuna for us for dinner! He is an incredibly helpful host and will do anything he can to make you feel welcome. Keep in mind Scopello is a very very small town and the market is quite a far walk. Bring necessities with you so you can avoid walking (Luigi was kind enough to drive us to the market when we had to go). He also took us by car for drinks and appetizers before our dinner one night and showed us the quaint, lamp-lit area of Scopello in the night. A few nice bars and restaurants tucked away on top of the hill. The views are incredible from the house. Highly recommend doing a one day hike in Zingaro Natural Reserve. Luigi went with us and was able to speak about the history of Scopello and direct us to the beaches within the reserve. Luigi is more than a host, he is a friend. I would recommend staying here to my friends and family alike; your experience will be absolutely unforgettable.
