This was our second stay in this lovely villa, and it was every bit as wonderful as we remembered. Our family (myself, my husband and our 12 and 16-year olds) spent three weeks in this little piece of paradise and all thoroughly enjoyed it.
You couldn't ask for a better location: views out over the Mediterranean, two beaches within walking distance, a walk up to the village of Scopello for an ice cream, meal out or to sip Amaretto while watching the world go by. It's also easy to shop for food in the village, the nearby minimarket and greengrocer (complete with very drinkable local wine at 1.50 Euros a litre) or the supermarkets in Castellammare.
The house itself is well appointed and equipped, but the real joy is the balcony and the pool area, where we spent hours lazing in the sun, reading and swimming. Moonlight swims were a special treat for us. It's also a good base for some fantastic days out: we visited the archaeological sites at Mozia, Solunto, Segesta and Agrigento as well as the hillside town of Erice, Marsala and Palermo.
This time we were able to meet the owner, Mariella, and her family, who welcomed us warmly.
This is a very special place indeed.
