If you’re looking for that luxury wedding with a classic touch, surrounded by old style charm, look no further than Italy’s island of Sicily and its small coastal jewel on the Tyrrhenian: Scopello
If Italy has long been the setting of your dream wedding, put the usual Amalfi Coast and Tuscany locations on the backburner and go for the country’s wonderfully hidden treasure: Scopello. Located in Sicily’s province of Trapani, this small and historical coastal town that boasts crystalline waters, will give your wedding that touch of magical romance. But just what is it about Scopello that makes it the ideal location for your nuptials surrounded by friends and family?
You'll find when you come to Scopello, as opposed to more well-known Italian destinations often frequented by Americans and Londoners, that there is a sense of peace and tradition, a whimsical place where time stands still. Hosting your wedding somewhere that is a bit off the grid will promise a peaceful and intimate celebration with your loved ones. With Mediterranean temperatures that allow Sicily to be mild year round, you can choose to celebrate your wedding outdoors in Scopello just about any time you want.
Another reason to consider this tucked away city by the sea, is for its magnificent surroundings. Craggy cliffs envelop turquoise waters with a view of the famous faraglioni rock structures in the middle of the gulf. This makes it the ideal setting for an outdoor ceremony, not to mention the perfect photo op. There is also no shortage of beaches in Scopello, like Cala Rosa and the sandy Cala Mazzo di Sciacca. It also finds itself close to the nature reserve, Lo Zingaro, a 7km stretch of wildlife with the backdrop of the peaceful sea.
Your guests will also enjoy themselves in this intimate setting, with plenty to do, see and experience. Rely on local experts like Scopello Villas to propose you different venues, accommodations and catering options. Arrange for villas for your guests for the ultimate luxury experience. Most are located atop the hill for breathtaking views of the bay to assure them comfort amidst this beauty.
One cannot overlook Italy, and especially Sicily, when it comes to the cuisine. You will surely be offering your guests an amazing spread full of the typical Sicilian dishes, and with a few days to spend there post-wedding, you will have a chance to experience the culinary tradition of this Italian island with your closest friends and family. Book private cooking classes and food and wine tours to make unforgettable memories and get a true taste for this part of Italy.
If you're looking for that truly authentic experience to share with your loved ones on your wedding day, come to Scopello and start a new chapter in your life surrounded all the beauty the island of Sicily has to offer.
