We met our host as agreed- well almost as agreed as we were about an hour late getting to Scopello due to a flight delay and the time taken to collect a hire car.
We stayed for 5 nights in a first floor 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment is one a few in a single, double-storey building. The building is quite private and although you have neighbours they are not on top of you. Similarly there are people staying in the other apartments but you don't really hear or see much of them other than to say hello to. Nino lives in the same building too and we found him to be very approachable and very helpful.
We were 3 adults plus 1 infant (under two years of age) and we found that the apartment met all our needs. The apartment has parking on-site. We didn't cook while we were there- just had breakfast each morning and then out for the day, returning in the late afternoon. In the evening we would go out to eat in one of the many (and all of them very nice) restaurants to be found around the piazza, which is within easy walking distance of Casa Nino, 5 minutes. In addition to restaurants there are a number of bars, of which Bar Scopello is situated quite literally at the centre of your holiday universe- great beers, coffees, ice creams, cakes, snacks and small eats all at very reasonable prices and served by the friendliest people. Actually, everyone in Scopello is friendly and the same can be said for everyone we came across in Sicily.
There is a public beach within a 15 minutes walk of Scopello and there is also private beach that you can pay to use at the Tonnara Di Scopello which is also about a 15 minute walk away. The Tonnara is a nice place to go to, but just the once. You can find many very nice beaches within a 20 minute drive of Scopello. You won't run out of beaches to try out. If beaches aren't your thing ther are a great number of sightseeing opportunities not to be missed all within a comfortable 1-2 hours drive away. We went to Marsala (wine tour and tasting at Caruso & Minini), Mamma Caura (Salt Mills), Segesta (an archaeological site) and Erice (a beautiful mountain top fortified town with a thousand years of history).
All in all I would have no hesitation in recommending Scopello as a holiday destination and recommending Casa Nino as the place to stay.
