What ties together a tuna, a fisherman, and the Sicilian coast? The answer is Scopello—a tiny village where azure waters and beautiful beaches intertwine with history like fishing nets.

You wake up in a former fisherman’s house with a sea view. Outside the window stands a distinctive orange building Tonnara di Scopello —once a bustling tuna processing center. You can choose between a modern apartment with floors decorated with Sicilian ceramics or a simple interior with authentic fishing accessories. Here, every item tells the story of the "mattanza"—the annual tuna harvest.

P.S. Scopello is a magical place, but as with magic, everyone wants to experience it. During peak season, it can be as crowded as a Sicilian kitchen on a Sunday afternoon. If you dream of tranquility, quiet walks among fragrant herbs, and relaxing swims in crystal-clear waters, visit outside of the season.
