Villa
Pottino is located in Scopello, one of the nicest seacoast spot in western
Sicily, just few steps away from the XIII century Tonnara - the ancient
Sicilian tuna fishing complex located in a natural bay.The Villa is reachable
through a not pavemented private road. Its unique location right on a rocky
promontory facing the seaside gives you an amazing view. As soon as you
pass the entrance gate you'll find a natural path and then some stairs down
to the great feature of this villa: a private rocky bay, where you can swim!!!
The rocks are not that flat but it is possible to arrange some sun ombrella.
The villa was built in two level, in fact after the entrance door, two steps
down introduce you to the spacious living room. Here several woodden-windows
along with a wood framed door-window will lead you to the terrace that surrounds
the villa and where you can be enchanted by the amazing view of Scopello
bay with its "faraglioni". From the living room you have access,through
the stairs-up, to the dining area in the higher level. The dining area feature
a big table that can host comfortably 12 people and it is also connected
to the Kitchen through a door and to another terrace through a door-window
in the same style of the living room. In this terrace there is a big marble
table for outdoor meals. The kitchen is fully furnished, has two cooking
machine, two refrigerator, one ice maker and access to the terrace. While
the dining area, the kitchen and the laundry room are located in the right
wing of the villa, the four bedrooms are located in the left wing of the
villa along with three full bathroom. One of them is en suite. The bedrooms
are lined up along the aisle.The first one has a double bed and a window

one that has not the view on the Scopello bay, but it has a small window

The
Villa is located near the village of Scopello, about 50 kilometers
west from Palermo. Scopello is a lovely mediaeval village that really
worth a visit. Also it is the only place where you can taste "Pani
cunzatu". To have this experience you must must go to the only
bakery of the village: here you can have it just out from the oven, then
very slowly a lady will cut it and fill it with fresh tomato, anchovy,
fresh local cheese, salt, pepper, oregan and olive oil...unforgettable!
If you still have energy, you can go to "Lo Zingaro"
nature reserve. It is a nice trekking path that for the exercised ones,
can take to Capo S.Vito with a four hour walk. Capo San Vito is
famous for two things: the most beautiful stretch of white beach
of Sicily and the Cous-cous. Every year in September there is a
world contest for the best coucous. Our choice is the restaurant "Il
Pocho". Other interesting excursions are: Segesta with
the best kept Greek temple and Erice, the mediaeval town on the
hill . The closest town is Castellamare del golfo at about six
kilometers where you can find everything you may need.
