Essential Italy

This super holiday home, with its air of tranquillity, has recently been refurbished – it sits in beautiful gardens giving it a feeling of seclusion. The caring owner has paid great attention to detail and throughout the house the decoration and furnishings create a real Mediterranean feel. Located close to the charming village of Scopello Gabbiano provides comfortable holiday accommodation in a great position. The small pool in the well kept garden offers a refreshing dip and the beautiful bay just a 2 minute walk away offers great sea swimming.

The house is built on two levels and is surrounded by a lovely terrace ideal for al fresco dining. On the ground floor there is a large open plan living room / kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with hobs, oven, fridge and freezer. Also on the ground floor there is a double bedroom and bathroom with shower. On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms and the second bathroom with shower. The house is air conditioned.

The garden surrounds the house and is full of typical Mediterranean plants. The pool, although small is the ideal spot for a refreshing dip before relaxing under the covered veranda which has a BBQ. We believe most of your dining will take place.

Scopello is a charming village with plenty of restaurants and bars. Nearby is the Tonnara, the old Tuna fishing bay which is now a popular swimming area with crystal clear waters and spectacular rock formations. Palermo is only 55km away and with Trapani (25kms), Erice (30kms), Marsala (40kms) all within a short drive you will not be short of things to do and see. (However, in this comfortable house with lovely beach on your doorstep, you may well not venture beyond Scopello.)

Capo San Vito is about 30 minutes drive and is a lively resort with a truly spectacular sandy beach. Just 2 kms along the coast the Natural Park dello Zingaro provides some of the most beautiful coves and cleanest of waters to be found in Sicily. Leave your car at the gates and venture into the park by foot, you will not be disappointed by the stunning scenery of this area.

Gabbiano offers excellent holiday accommodation in a wonderful location and comes highly recommended by Essential Italy.
