We had a fantastic stay! Both the view and apartment are even better than in the pictures. Nino was a really nice host. Scopello in October is calm and quiet and there were mostly tourists in town, so if you want some authentic busy Sicilian vibes, Castellammare del Golfo is maybe more suitable circa 20 minute drive from Scopello. The café outside the Baglio was great both mornings and evenings. It was also the only place that wasn’t more expensive than we’d anticipated. The supermarket a few kilometers away was expensive, but you can get some price worthy vegetables and fruit at the adjacent fruit market.
We had great dinners at La Trattoria, lovely panini at the Alimentari, highly recommended!
We walked 10 minutes to a beach recommended by Giuliana, which became our favorite beach in the area.
