Giuseppina is a 5-star hostess - she welcomed us upon arrival and made sure we were familiar with the house and the area. The house itself is spacious with two lovely outdoor areas - one with beautiful birdsong which overlooks the sea and a quiet road, and the other with a generous plungepool, barbeque and dining area. Myself and my partner were the only guests and we had plenty of room. The location was great for us - close enough to walk into the small village of Scopello (15 min walk) which has multiple brilliant restaurants and a few bars, and with a stunning national park in the other direction (10 min walk), where secluded coves with crystal clear waters can be reached along rocky coastal paths. The air-conditioning was a godsend in the sweltering Italian summer temperatures. We explored the area, including a day trip to Palermo - I would recommend parking outside of the city and getting a bus in, as the driving can be very, very challenging if you're not used to the Sicilian roads. Thank you Giuseppina, you made our holiday very lovely indeed!
