Hotel La Tavernetta in Scopello

This is an elegant, romantic family-run hotel located right in the middle of the little town of Scopello. IGNORE the reviews complaining about the parking being far away or the lack of an elevator, so ridiculous, these people should book Dubai as their next destination! This is a classic family run hotel consisting of old buildings being part of an old village, that is part of the amazing experience staying here! From the moment you check-in and throughout your stay the staff is very friendly and welcoming. You can park your car close to the hotel to offload your luggage and then park it at a private carpark within a few minutes walk. The grounds and the garden of this hotel are magnificent with it’s beautiful pool and amazing view over the bay. The garden and the outside hotel bar outside are a perfect destination to relax all day and have a very nice lunch overlooking the bay. Stay here during your stay in Scopello!

Overall, a great experience, though a few small details kept it from being a full 5-star rating.

This is a cozy boutique hotel, perfectly located with stunning views and a lovely pool area. We stayed in a triple room on the second floor, directly above the reception. Note: there’s no elevator — not an issue for us, but it could be for some.

The room wasn’t very well soundproofed; we could hear conversations from downstairs and from the adjacent room. Also, the air conditioning unit is positioned right next to the bed and blows directly onto it, which made it difficult to keep it running overnight. Thankfully, there’s a ceiling fan that worked well for us.

Free parking is definitely a plus — a real luxury in Sicily — though it does require a short walk.

Visited the restaurant only, great food in good size portions. The staff is amazing professional and cheerful at the same time, view takes the spectacle especially if there on the sunset hours. Would recommend to visit for dinner in the area.

La Tavernetta Hotel is truly a slice of paradise on the island of Sicily.
With its incredible and lush green gardens overlooking the mountains and the sea, right in the heart of Scopello, we spent only four nights here — but it was absolutely perfect.

The beautiful swimming pool with a backdrop of the sea, the excellent service, and the delicious breakfast on the panoramic terrace all made our stay unforgettable.

We highly recommend this place and are certain we’ll return.
A special thanks goes to the kind young Giorgia at the reception, who rescued us by organizing a transfer from a bus stop 40 km away, then greeted us with a warm smile and checked us in. She continued to assist us throughout our stay until the very moment we left.

Magnificent! Excellent place to relax and recharge! Very well cared, lovely staff and great service. Our dinner at the restaurant was delicious and the breakfast was rich with many options and a beautiful view to the sea and garden.

We loved our visit to La Tavernetta. It is located in a sublime location overlooking the sea. We enjoyed pool time every day and were assisted by wonderfully kind staff at the hotel, restaurant and beach bar throughout our stay. The food, especially the tuna, was delicious. We had a minor issue with our room which we addressed directly with the hotel and it did not take away from our enjoyment of the stay. Definitely recommend!

We enjoyed everything about Hotel La Tavernetta. We were charmed by the setting, the service and location. An unforgettable experience. I would love to come back someday.

The best and prettiest hotel !! Easy walk to piazza. Beautifully maintained. Nicest staff and owners! Would love to go back.

Having been visiting this family run hotel for 9 years after finding it by pure luck, I can honestly say it is getting better and better with each visit.

The location, the small resort with the amazingly located pool and pool bar, the atmosphere, and the caring, and hard working family and staff make what is an already great retreat, even better.
