Perched on the hillside in the village of Scopello, this villa is ideally located for those looking to explore the unspoilt corner of Sicily. The interiors are contemporary, if a little dated – but the panoramic Mediterranean Sea views make up for it. Small but perfectly formed, the private swimming pool makes for the ideal spot to soak up some sun. While the outdoor dining area is perfectly positioned to enjoy some local Sicilian wine and watch the sunset. There’s plenty of local restaurants to discover just a ten-minute drive away, while the livelier resort of Castellammare de Golfo isn’t too far.
