Scopello holidays

Screen-worthy spots

With its cool cove and pretty little lanes, it’s not surprising that this picturesque village has provided the backdrop for a whole host of films and TV shows like Ocean’s Twelve and an episode of Inspector Montalbano. Why not visit the nearby Zingaro Nature Reserve to see more of Sicily’s beauty?

Beautiful buildings

Down by the bay sits the dusky pink tonnara, a tuna fishery dating back to the 13th century. Once an integral part of village life, it’s now been turned into an apartment-style hotel and café. There’s even a museum where you can learn about the history of this historic building.
