Holidays in Sicily: Scopello

Scopello is a small village on the north-western coast of Sicily, between the town of Castellammare del Golfo and the Zingaro natural reserve. Differently from many other sites in the island, this part of the Sicilian coast has not witnessed urban sprawl: on the contrary, it is extremely and uniquely well conserved, with attractive natural landscapes, rocks and beaches, just a few villas hidden in the vegetation, and virtually no seaside developements. Luckily, strict European rules forbid building of new constructions in the Zingaro natural reserve, and do not allow to sail too close to the shore. This makes of Scopello an unique place where you may look at a coast which hasn't changed for centuries while you swim in warm water, or snorkel amid joyous fishes. The village itself is located on top of a hill roughly 100 meters above the sea level. It mainly consist of a baglio, a typical historic architecture of rural Sicily: sort of a fortified farm with a solid precinct enclosing a courtyard where feudal barons and farmers lived and protected themselves in ancient times ... and where you may now have an appetizer while admiring a heart-taking

sea view

, or enjoy the outstanding tradition of Italian cuisine! Curious about baglios? ... the construction of baglios started throughout whole Sicily in late middle ages - first baroque times (1500 - 1700), when then-ruling Spanish monarchy allowed local barons to colonize vast uncultivated lands, so to increase the production of cereals the monarchy needed. Interestingly enough, the etimology of name "baglio" dates back to ancient greece, when "ballo" meant the launch of stones and javelins down a cliff. Later on, the name became "ballista" (crossbow) for Latins, "baille" for French and "bailey" for Anglosaxons: precisely, courtyards with defensive walls. Outside the baglio, a pictoresque fountain, a few more

air conditioned

restaurants, local handicraft and some can't-miss ice-cream and pastry shops will welcome you during the warm nights of your holiday in Sicily. A few minutes is all what you need to discover the village: if you are looking for discos, worldly events, buzzed life ... well, you're in the wrong place! Slow-paced holidays will welcome you here, and we are sure you will be enchanted by easiness and friendliness or our people. The

vacation rental in Scopello

we offer you is at walking distance from the baglio, but its greatest value is its nearness to the real treasure of Scopello: the sea. A 5 minutes walk down an unpaved road that you can access directly from the villa's garden will lead you to a small private beach of white pebbles and scattered rocks. A couple of steps into the water, and fishes will soon start snooping who this new unknown is! Also at walking distance from the villa for rent you have the two places Scopello is most famous for: the Tonnara and the Zingaro Natural Reserve<. Originally built in XIII century for tuna fishing, the Tonnara is an outstanding scenic cove with ruins of two defensive towers which combined with a third one up in the village to extend the view over the sea. You may now swim in a blue sea up to the faraglioni: two imposing rocks emerging from the sea and being home for an incredible variety of fishes. Scenes of films Ocean's 12 and an episode of Inspector Montalbano have been shot here. The Zingaro Natural Reserve is a protected site of about 1650 hectares, with a 7 km long coastline leading to

San Vito lo Capo

and with an highest peak (Monte Speziale) at 913 meters above the level of sea. For incredible it may sound, the geologic structures of the terrain is of ... dolomitic nature! The beauty of dolomites splashing into coves of pebbles diving in a water that turns from crystalline transparency to deep blue will enchant you, along with the intense colors of palmets and luxuriant mediterranenan plants you may find in any season. Definitely a must-see if you choose Scopello for an holiday rental in Sicily!
