We spent two weeks here with our 3 children in August. The weather was hot, as you would expect, so what better place to be than here on the top of a ridge overlooking the sea or at the beach during the day.
This is undoubtedly the best private accommodation we have ever stayed in as a family. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms (one double and one twin), a bathroom with shower, kitchen, living room. Upstairs a gallery bedroom and ensuite bathroom with shower.
A detached villa with well-appointed gardens and a surrounding terrace with seating areas overlooking the bay and outside the kitchen with built-in barbecue.
The interior is very tasteful, so much love, care and attention has been put into the decoration. To reach the villa, it's an adventurous uphill drive, the last 10 minutes on a windy, narrow lane, about 20 minutes from Castellammare del Golfo. You will need a car. If you like peace and quiet, you are in the right place. Everything you need is here.
For provisions there is a quality market on the main road at the bottom of the lane. Superstores can be found in Castellammare.
If you want to eat out, the picturesque village of Scopello is 15 minutes away with restaurants overlooking the bay. You will enjoy eating there but the whole time you will be looking forward to going home. And the view from home is even better. Home. You're not going to want to leave.
A word about Maria - anytime we had a question she was there to help. Always attentive and keen to make us feel at ease, she helped make a wonderful holiday very special.
If you like being on the sea on a leisurely boat trip with frequent swimming stops in the national park, we absolutely recommend Marco's tour of Zingaro. Marco, you and your brother both made this a day to remember for us.
Thank you Monica for bringing the birthday cake!
Thank you for everything Maria, we hope to come back very soon.
