Scopello Boutique Retreat
A retreat of rare charm, where the history of an old Sicilian hamlet meets the sea.
A garden suspended above the sea
In the heart of the Baglio di Scopello stands an eighteenth-century house — once owned by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon — restored with care to bring the soul of an old Sicilian hamlet together with the comfort of today.
What makes it singular is the terraced rock garden, climbing all the way to the top of the cliff: from up there the view takes in the Gulf of Castellammare and the Tonnara di Scopello.
Where every hour of the day becomes a memory
Olive trees, dry-stone walls and Mediterranean light shape a series of panoramic terraces, each with its own view and its own mood — from the gold of first light to dinner under the stars.
Every terrace, a different view
The rebirth of a house
Before it came back to life, the baglio was a silent ruin. We restored it patiently — stone by stone, fresco by fresco — so that every corner would keep its own memory. Here is how it was, and how it came back to life.

Within the restored walls
Two floors of unmistakable historic character: a large sitting room with a fireplace and a generous kitchen on the ground floor; upstairs, bedrooms with panoramic views beneath frescoed ceilings brought back to light.
Old stone and contemporary comfort live side by side in every room — in the same house that, a little over thirty years ago, was nothing but a ruin.
The setting for the moments that matter
We hire out the whole property on an exclusive basis: symbolic wedding ceremonies, private lunches and dinners, sunset aperitivi, cocktails, corporate events and shoots. Every detail is yours to choose; we bring a network of trusted local suppliers.
Say yes, with the Tonnara in view
Candlelit dinners under the stars
A boutique holiday home
Soon it will be possible to stay in the house: interiors of quiet charm between old stone, hand-painted majolica and contemporary comfort, with the Tonnara di Scopello a few steps away. We are putting the finishing touches to it.
