About Torre di Scopello
Torre di Scopello is a 16th-century watchtower perched on a rocky promontory on Sicily's northwest coast, overlooking the Gulf of Castellammare and the famous Faraglioni — the dramatic rock formations that rise from crystal-clear waters and have become one of Sicily's most photographed natural landmarks. The property offers two courtyards for ceremonies and receptions, a red-brick panoramic terrace with coastline views for dining, and villas with 12 beds for overnight guests. Six minutes from the Riserva dello Zingaro nature reserve and 20 minutes from both Palermo and Trapani airports, this is Sicily's wild coast at its most dramatic.
