Torre di Scopello-Doria in Scopello, open May–August.
Torre di Scopello-Doria rises from the Sicilian coastline near the village of Scopello, where limestone cliffs meet the Tyrrhenian Sea and medieval stone towers punctuate the landscape.
This restored 19th-century property commands panoramic views across the water and surrounding hills, offering both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces within sight of the water.
The villa accommodates up to 250 guests across a seasonal April-November calendar, with on-site lodging and access to nearby village accommodations.
This place is an absolute gem! For a 15 euro basic ticket, you have seating wherever you like (you can move in/out of the shade onto different seats as you choose), guided tour of the tower and you can also visit a WW2 bunker! There are steps down to the sea for swimming. With great views and well-placed seats on a landscaped cliff, this is a perfect place to spend a day sunbathing. My wife and I were there all day and it never got busy or crowded. Recommended!
