I would have no hesitation in going back to Maria's apartment in Scopello. It is set in a beautiful location with views of the surrounding mountains. The grounds of the apartment are very peaceful and beautiful and full of olive and fig trees. There is the local beach at Guidaloca close by, and you are also very close to the Faraglioni and a small public beach just beyond it (which is much nicer than the busy beach at Guidaloca) as well as the Zingaro Nature Reserve which is definitely worth at least one visit. It is also just a short walk to some great shops and a decent supermarket.
The apartment itself is really nice and the kitchen facilities are fantastic if you wish to cook and there is a gorgeous little balcony to eat your meals on. I was really impressed by the hospitality of Maria and her husband and daughter and really appreciated the extra touches, like the provision of enough breakfast goods to last for most of our holiday. If I return again to this part of Sicily, I will definitely give Maria a call!
