Scopello Area Information

Scopello is a small village located on the north west coast of Sicily between the fishing and holiday resort town of Castellammare del Golfo and the lovely protected Zingaro nature reserve. This area of the Sicily coast is an ideal location to rent your Sicily holiday villa or apartment.

The coast has attractive stretches of rocks and green hillsides nearby, and there is teh advantage of the larger city of Palermo not so far away. The village of Scopello is actually situated on a plateau some way above sea-level, though within walking distance of the coast below. The village incorporates the Baglio Isonzo, as well as a few attractive little lanes. The baglio was once the headquarters of an agricultural estate.

Anpother site worth visiting is the The Tonnara di Scopello

(Tuna fishing building) which is next to a lovely scenic cove which can be seen from the village. Offshore there are dramatic faraglioni which are rock towers in the sea. Two historic defensive towers also stand pproud on the rocks.

If you stay in Scopello and rent a Sicily villa or Sicily apartment then you must visit the Zingaro nature reserve. This is an unspoilt and typically Sicilian nature reserve.
