Ammalia rises in a panoramic position overlooking the sea and the dramatic coastline of Scopello in northwest Sicily. A recent refurbishment has brought a new vivaciousness to this family home, whose lovingly remodelled interiors flow out onto shady terraces and exotic gardens that evoke the island's Arabic heritage. Then, sitting in pride of place beneath a family of gently swaying palm trees, is the wonderful bio-pool, whose natural forms are irresistible.

The Area
Situated in the northwest of Sicily, Ammalia is well-placed for discovering the wealth of attractions that the area has to offer. Just down the road is the charming hamlet of Scopello, at the centre of which is an authentic old baglio. There are also a couple of good restaurants and pizzerie, a few bars and cafés, and a scuba diving club. For food and wine, there's a superb delicatessen, greengrocer's (with produce grown right there), wine shop and café just below the village. The extremely evocative setting of Scopello's old tuna plant is a great spot for swimming and snorkelling, as is the nearby pebbly beach of Guidaloca, which has lidos and other facilities.
Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve is a 15-minute drive away and offers a range of spectacular walks and a series of idyllic, crystal-clear bays for swimming.
The nearby town of Castellammare del Golfo has a good selection of seafront bars and restaurants, a daily fish market, plenty of shops and a long sandy beach with lidos.
The spectacular Elymian/Greek site of Segesta is about 20 minutes drive away and Erice, Palermo, Trapani and Selinunte can all be reached in under or just over an hour.
