We had a wonderful stay at Villa Norah in Scopello in July 2017. The town is delightful and Barbara's home made a great base to explore the area or just relax and enjoy the local pleasures.
Barbara's house was immaculately clean upon arrival and ideal for our family of 4. We found everything we needed including air conditioning which was welcome as the temps got above 35 toward the end of our stay. We found there to be many unadvertised extras such as beach towels, detergent for the washing machine and some children's toys. Little touches that show the hospitality of Barbara and her father Mario.
The two private beaches accessible to those staying in the Punta Pispisa gated community are a huge plus. The public beaches, including those in the Lo Zingaro Reserve, can get extremely crowded so these private beaches are very welcome! They offered good snorkeling and a tranquil place to soak up the Mediterranean sun.
With Erice, Selinunte, Segesta and more all within an hour's drive, Scopello is an idyllic spot to enjoy the wonders Sicily has to offer. We will be back.
