Lovely villa with great views of the coast and surrounding mountains. Located a short walk from Mr Franco's fabulous local deli and convenience store, a green grocer with fresh produce and also the village of Scopello (15-20 minute walk) with a nice cafe, restaurants and ice cream shop. The surrounding coast is lovely, but a number of beaches are private, so difficult to access. The Zingaro nature reserve has some fabulous beaches but you do need to pay (only a few euros) to access the reserve and the parking is some way from the beaches. The villa is lovely, clean and modern with everything we needed. The pool is not heated, so was a little cold in October when we visited, but that didn't bother the kids! The coastline is stunning and I would highly recommend scuba diving or snorkelling (we went with Vittorio from Cetaria Diving Center in Scopello, which was excellent and reasonably priced). Communication with Eliana was excellent and checkin / checkout very straightforward. I would highly recommend the villa and the local area.
