    (Translated by Google) A pearl on top of a treasure. 10 minutes on foot (going at a leisurely pace) from the town center. The structure is already a masterpiece, cared for and artfully restored. As soon as you arrive, a breathtaking panorama will open before your eyes. Sea & love ... and all the magic of the Sicilian land. 4 steps under the sun and you are one step away from heaven. (Original) Una perla sopra a un tesoro. 10 minuti a piedi (andando con calma) dal centro del paese. Giá la struttura è un capolavoro, curata e ristrutturata ad arte. Appena arrivate vi si aprirà davanti agli occhi un panorama da mozzare il fiato. Mare & amore...e tutta la magia della terra siciliana. 4 passi sotto al sole e siete a un gradino dal paradiso.

    After a steep but rather short way up to the tower you have a magnificiant view over the surroundings. We were lucky to come here with clear view. It is also intresting to see the extremely stony fields where they grow tomato plants on the way to the tower.

    Find the dirt road from the Scopello parking area. It's about 15 minutes walk the way up

    (Translated by Google) I advise you to visit this picturesque place !!! small and quiet village. In the heart of many restaurants. We were not in season, almost no tourists. I liked the views and the pebble beach between two bays. Just a stunning view of the sea. Parking near the beach is paid, if I'm not mistaken, 2 euro / hour. We found a free spot right next to the beach and parked. There are a couple of cafes, you can eat. After lunch, they fell on pebbles heated by the sun, bathed, the water is clear! By evening, the waves had risen and the view was no longer the same; the water had become muddy (. (Original) Советую посетить это живописное местечко!!! маленькая и тихая деревушка. В самом центре много ресторанов. Мы были не в сезон, туристов практически небыло. Очень понравились виды и галечный пляж между двух бухт. Просто потрясающий вид на море. Парковка около пляжа платная, если не ошибаюсь 2 евро/час. Мы нашли бесплатное местечко прям рядом с пляжем и припарковались. Есть пару-тройку кафешек, можно перекусить. После обеда повалялись на прогретых солнцем камушках, искупались, вода прозрачная! К вечеру поднялись волны и вид уже был не тот, вода стала мутной(.

    Sneak around a couple of car blocks just above town and you’re on a defined trail. About 20-30 minutes up hill walking and stairs. All worth it

    Short steep walk up - if a hot day bring a bottle of water. Some stunning views from the top - if you have the time, have a walk up:)

    Steep but short climb. Very nice view over Scopello and the gulf of Castellammare.

👍 Nice wide beach with small pebbles. Water is clean and it’s pretty easy to go in. The beach can be accessed from both side, looking the sea, the one at the right is accessible from a stair with 300 steps. There are two parkings at each extremities (5€ and 4€). You can also find some parking on the...

👍👍 Amazing view from here. Come after 5 pm for a better light. Avoid in the morning. You will find a food truck, a guy yelling he has fresh orange and pomegranate juice, and an old guy, truly he must be 95, selling local products like honey from an old car. The restaurant is serving food at lunch and...
