Overview
With rugged hills and mountains to one side and the glistening blue sea to the other, Villa Cappelletti enjoys a beautiful setting in Sicily’s West, amidst a vast garden with wraparound views. Though the home is rurally located, you are just 4km away from the closest village and from the nearest pebbled beach.
This whitewashed villa is a spacious, newly built home which has everything you need for a relaxing break. The home is bright and airy throughout, as the natural light floods the open-plan living spaces and the three bedrooms. Only the highest quality materials have been used in the home; including artisan tiles, modern art works and a designer kitchen. Facilities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi and Smart TVs are also available.
On the ground floor you will find the heart of the home, a place for gathering for breakfast before heading out for the day or watching a film together in the evening. This open-plan space houses the living room with comfy sofas and a Smart TV, a dining table seating 8 people and a fully-equipped SMEG kitchen.
As evening falls, you can turn in for the night in one of the three bedrooms all located on the first floor. Two of these have double-sized beds and open out onto their own separate terrace, with steps leading down to the garden so you can enjoy your morning coffee in peace. The third bedroom, which also opens onto a balcony and terrace, can be set up as a twin room or as a double, to suit the needs of your group. Each of the bedrooms boasts an en-suite bathroom, while there is an additional bathroom with shower available on the ground floor.
Stepping out of the sliding doors on to the huge covered terrace, you will find a summer kitchen which has a barbecue area, a grill, hobs and a sink, so you can cook outdoors and take your meals on the shaded dining terrace. With the lovely weather, you are sure to wish to spend lots of time outdoors, and with shaded areas as well as seating in the sun, you will not be short of places to sit and unwind. The garden also boasts a private swimming pool and a yoga deck, a serene spot for your morning yoga practice.
When you wish to dine out or pick up some groceries, there are a few amenities near to the home and you will find a wider array of restaurants and shops in the nearby village of Scopello. This pretty, hilltop village has espresso bars, pizzerias, seafood restaurants and breakfast spots. There are also historic attractions here such as quaint churches, medieval gateways and the old Tonnara.
In addition to Scopello, you are also able to visit the many nearby beaches. The closest beach is a lovely pebbled cove, though you will also find long sandy beaches nearby. The town of Castellammare del Golfo is home to some of these attractive beaches as well as a wide range of eateries and a seaside castle. You are also well-placed for taking a day trip to San Vito Lo Capo where you will find some of the best beaches on the whole island.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa CappellettiVilla Cappelletti is a chic, contemporary home which lies between the tree covered hills and the beach-lined coastline in the beautiful West of Sicily. Only 4km away from the nearest village and 11km away from the nearest town, the home is a peaceful base from which you can explore your surroundings with ease.
This villa is a wonderful place to stay for those who enjoy getting out in nature as there are so many opportunities on your doorstep. Close to the home you can find wooded parklands and hiking trails, plus coastal walks under 5km away. Horseback riding, tennis courts and mountain biking routes can also be found within 15km of the home. If you would like to get out on to the water, you can snorkel and kayak at the beaches of Castellammare del Golfo which are 11km away. If you would prefer something a little more relaxing, the closest beach Guidaloca beach is just 4km away. This tranquil beach is a pebbled cove, backed by cliffs, while there are long sandy beaches in Castellammare del Golfo.
Aside from the abundance of natural attractions and beaches, Villa Cappelletti is well-placed for paying visits to numerous villages and towns. The closest amenities can be found in the village of Scopello which is a 8-minutes drive away. Scopello is a hilltop village which has plenty of restaurants to choose from and a number of shops. The atmospheric streets are cobbled and filled with floral planters and trickling fountains and the village offers incredible views of the sea and the surrounding greenery. You can visit a few charming historic churches in the village, wander through the medieval gates and also walk down to the shore where you can discover the Tonnara which is a small tuna processing plant and village which now houses a museum. While this may not sound very tempting, the 13th century Tonnara is made up of some stunning buildings which are right at the edge of the sea and the location has even been used in the Hollywood movie Ocean’s Twelve.
For a wider array of shops, markets and restaurants, plus fantastic sandy beaches you should drive over to Castellammare del Golfo which is 11km away. This seaside town is known for its staggering castle which looks out over the sea and once defended Sicily from invaders, you can visit the castle on a guided tour. Additionally, you can wander the picturesque streets and dine near the bustling harbour.
If you wish to take a memorable day trip from the villa, there are many great options you can choose from. San Vito Lo Capo is a beautiful town where you can visit one of Sicily’s best-loved beaches and is set 43km away from the home. For a wider range of shops and historic sites you can also visit Palermo, Sicily’s amazing capital city which is 75km away. For something a little different, you could opt to head inland to Segesta which is 26km away. Segesta is home to some of Sicily’s oldest ruins and monuments such as a huge theatre and a temple, constructed by the Elymian people, an indigenous Sicilian group in around 400BC.

Breath-taking landscape
My stay at Villa Cappelletti was simply fantastic! The villa is located in the middle of a breath-taking landscape and offers a magnificent view of the sea. The house itself is beautifully furnished and offers every comfort one could wish for.
The hospitality of the owners was exceptional. They were always ready to help and advise us and made us feel right at home. The cleanliness of the villa was impeccable and the garden and pool were perfectly maintained.
The location of Villa Cappelletti is ideal for exploring the surrounding attractions. We were able to easily visit the charming towns nearby and enjoy the delicious Sicilian cuisine.
All in all, our stay at Villa Cappelletti was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this villa and will definitely come back to enjoy the beauty of Scopello again and the warm hospitality of this Villa.

Had a wonderful time!
All four of us have had a wonderful time!
We love Scopello/Sarmuci and Castellamare, and it is great that they are so close.
We wandered around car-free (easy parking) Scopello one sunny evening and enjoyed an aperitif watching the world go by.
The markets in Scopello have great meat, antipasti, organic vegetables and fruit, and all daily needs. Castellamare (15 mis) is also very pretty and authentic, has a variety of supermarkets, cafes, a street market (very fresh fish, vegetables and fruit; Sat & Wed a.m.), and excellent restaurants. Plenty of local accessible beaches, and the pool at the house was so inviting we had a swim before breakfast and dinner every day. We practically lived outside at the Villa with the nice garden, spaces for sunbathing, sitting and dinning outside, and enjoyed fresh seafood, vegetables and meat from the grill in the outdoor kitchen. We made trips to San Vito Lo Capo (great view, beaches, cafes and food) and Palermo (shopping), both ~1 hr. -
A fantastic stay
The villa is located on the top of a hill and from there, you have an amazing view over the city and sea. With a pool and a huge garden and a high quality of equipment in the house, it was a fantastic stay. It is stylishly furnished. The owners were very kind and friendly. The communication was fast and good. Thanks for the perfect vacation at this home!
