Marino's house was the perfect base to explore beautiful Scopello and surrounds. The spacious old house is ideally located in the heart of the main square, and is full of rustic charm. Its greatest feature is surely its incredible network of gorgeous terraced gardens, which afford the most spectacular views over the Tonnara di Scopello, the coast, mountains and beyond from multiple vantage points. During our short stay we were torn between spending time relaxing in the gardens and soaking up the serenity and breathtaking views, and exploring the many highlights of the surrounding region. Wish we could have stayed longer! With thanks to Marino, and his charming father, who greeted us and gave us a tour of the gardens.
