She was very responsive to us arriving to the property as we gave her little notice when we departed from the airport. The little cottage is unmatched. The grounds around the property are so peaceful and much larger than we thought. We loved the sun patio and the view from our room. The cottage is so cozy yet spacious enough to fill your every need. We are already dreaming of coming back to stay. I would book this property again and again. Incredibly clean and full of charm! We arrived late and enjoyed a restaurant down in town nearby 15 min drive. They usually require reservations but it’s worth trying to get in without one. Other places we enjoyed. (The off season many shops in scopello were closed as well as the main beach). Ristorante Pizzeria La Duchessa Le Grazie Pizzeria- Ristorante Tropical Bar - coffee and pastry Scopello local Solea Azienda Agricola - coffee pastry, egg breakfast, delicious hand made pasta. Farm to table. \* super close to bnb highly recommend! Open in the off season. Tonnara di Scopello - closed in the off season but we enjoyed the viewpoint. ##### megan b.

Though the cabin is small and cooking facilities limited it was perfect for the two of us . We appreciated the security gate access and the private seaside access. While there are 125 steps down to the sea it was worth very bit is exercise to swim in that beautiful sea. There are several ropes that do require replacement on the trek down and we would urge you to bring water shoes . We would have our morning coffee on the patio overlooking the sea every morning - then a swim - what ever afternoon exploring adventure we had planned - back to our oasis - Apero Spritzer- nap - dinner -watch the stars appear on our patio . Total relaxation. There is a wonderful garden market just down the road that not only supplies fresh vegetable's / oils/honey/lunch they also serve dinner ! Grocery market / pharmacy on the same road. It was easy access to Trapani - Palermo airport - two beaches close by with chair and umbrella rental available . Hanni and her handy man Cipriano made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable . We would not hesitate to book here once again . Thank you Hanni ! ##### Sonya & Derek S.

Giovanna is a wonderful host and her property is very special. The cottage is small but has everything you could need . Cold A/C and lovely water pressure . The view and private staircase to the Mediterranean is a great feature . We swam 3 days so calm and protected. I had a beautiful Siamese cat that kept us company . Truly a great escape and close to the Tonnera and Scopello city square and fabulous market and restaurants. Could not have been better ! ##### kimberly k.

We absolutely loved our three night stay at Giovanna’s place. It is basically in Scopello, the shops and beach being a one minute drive north, and the southern entrance to Zingaro less than ten minutes. The house is situated up on the cliffs overlooking the marvellous Sicilian coast and Tyrrhenian Sea. There is a private staircase down to the water where we had ritual morning and late afternoon swims. Expect mesmerising sunsets and sunrises. The house itself is simple and cozy, but was adequate, particularly given we spent most of out time outdoors. THe kitchen is basic, but we still cooked three delicious dinners. Giovanna is the sweetest host who met us personally at check-in, and kissed us goodbye at checkout. Can’t recommend this place more. ##### Richard G.

The cottage is very clean and comfortable, and appointed with all the amenities for a very enjoyable stay. It’s perfectly located on a large parcel of land that is part of the coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and a five minute drive to either Scopello or the Zingaro Nature Reserve. You have two patio’s which you can spend hours enjoying the views over a bottle(s) of wine, and your own access to a secluded private section of the coastline with very easy access to great swimming. There’s a ladder embedded in the rocks that allows for easy entry and exit from the water. It is peaceful, private and the views are unbeatable. Hanni is charming, and graceful, and was a very kind host. Communication while booking and leading up to our stay was very easy, and the check-in was a breeze. Hanni’s cottage is a real gem and when the time came it was hard to leave. We recommend staying at Hanni’s Cottage. ##### doug m.

It is stunning. However, the accommodations inside are limited. The kitchen area is not conducive to a lot of cooking cuz there is no counter space. The bed is not particularly comfortable and the couch wasn't either (2 seater). So I found myself not very comfortable inside. The outside. There is a; nice porch but the umbrella does not work and I didn't know how to adjust the lounge chairs. Hanni was nice enough to drop off fresh eggs and lemons which is endearing. She's a very lovely elderly Italian lady. I think overall, if you're not going to spend a lot of time there, it's fine. I came from the United States. I did not speak Italian and Hanni didn't speak English. I was on a solo trip as a 64-year-old woman and I was really hoping that she could be a person to help me navigate.....At the end of the day i really can't. complain based on the price but I think it's important to know the specifics when committing to travel. But you will be completely in awe of the scenery in your front yard. No one can compete with that,! ##### Gail P.

Wir konnten hier nochmal ein paar warme Tage genießen und auch den privaten Meerzugang nutzen. Hanni ist eine unglaublich herzliche und hilfsbereite Frau! Wir haben uns bei ihr, ihrem Mitarbeiter und natürlich dem süßen Hund Hulk sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75e19e93-c445-4b98-b92b-bcc48ec2a685-1761930809214.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a4b0e3c2-cf72-4760-b177-a49cc6b7f978-1761930810291.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### 8GTvGXpayvHZIHKn6/ziuRP56wroVrFa/ZtWsXGmWgKeiY22nKCHYxE/DJNkF5P39NaR8A/DVSf7YnxJPuS8T8PwmxELT6stfez e.
