We went with 4 people to scopello in June 2011.
It was pleasant stay.
i thought the description on the website was very accurate.
The house is not far from scopello, but you'll need a cart go there, because it is on a hill. The house has 2 bedrooms, and a small bedroom for children. One thing which is good to know is that the 2nd bedroom with queen-size bed is situated on the entresol above the living room/kitchen. So when one person wakes up early, the people sleeping up there will wake up too.
Besides this, it is a very pleasant and quiet house. Clean, well equiped kitchen, bedroom is good, more showers, to shower at the same time. Good barbecue, etc.
The owner was helpful and provided us with information of the things to do and where to go for food, good beaches and so. He sounded like a pro tourist guide!
I'd recommend the property to my friends, but what you have to keep in mind is the time of the year to go to Scopello. Before mid-june and after august, you can enjoy a relaxed holiday in this area, but in high season it is more crowded with tourists. If you don't mind that, no problem. And if you are by car, you can make day trips to more quiet villages, beaches and areas.
In Scopello, and close to Scopello, you'll find plenty good restaurants, beaches and nature to go to. Some big sandy beaches, but also small bays with rocks and stone beaches. All within a 20 minutes drive.
One thing I found a bit disappointing, is that you have to pay entrances fee for the beach/sea in Scopello. The beach is at the famous tonneria of Scopello, a must see, but if you want to go to the beach there everyday, it'll cost you a fortune! So we spent our time on other beaches in the area.
All together is is a very nice house, perfect located on a mountain with beautiful view. The area is beautiful, with lot's of possibilities to go to the beach and visit typical Sicilian cities en eat the best food!
