Your Home in Scopello: the Dependance Apartments at Tenute Plaia.
There are holidays where you simply look for a place to sleep. And then there are trips where you want to truly feel part of the place you've chosen.
The apartments at Scopello in the Dependance of Tenute Plaia were born from exactly this idea: to offer not just a place to stay, but a little home to live in at your own pace, with your own freedom and the pleasure of simple things.
Guests are welcomed by a historic late-nineteenth-century building housing five recently renovated apartments, while preserving the identity of the place, its original materials and the authentic style of the rural village of Scopello.
With the start of the 2026 season we have begun telling you about the area, the beaches, the Zingaro Reserve and the most beautiful corners of the Sicilian coast. Because choosing how to experience Scopello is just as important as deciding what to see.
Discover Scopello at Your Own Rhythm.
The dependance offers a different solution from the classic agriturismo room: more independence, more space, more intimacy. It is the ideal choice especially for families, couples or small groups who wish to experience their holiday in an authentic, schedule-free way.
The dependance is located approximately 500 metres from the main property. A perfect distance: close enough to easily reach the agriturismo's services whenever you wish, far enough to give you silence, tranquillity and the feeling of having a place all to yourself.
Here, the day unfolds slowly. You wake up with the Sicilian light coming through the windows, have breakfast at your leisure — perhaps preparing it yourself in the apartment with local produce — and then head to the sea without rushing. The kitchen in every apartment allows guests to live their stay in complete autonomy, with that freedom which so often makes a holiday even more enjoyable.
Outside, the shared spaces with tables and open-air areas become places of spontaneous connection: dinner after a day at the sea, a glass of wine at sunset, a chat before heading in. Small moments that end up becoming the most cherished memories of a holiday.
Apartments with a name.
There are details that tell the soul of a place better than any description. That is why the dependance apartments have no numbers. Each one bears the name of a member of the Plaia family who helped shape the history of this place.
It is a simple choice, but one deeply tied to the tradition of this land. Tenute Plaia was not born as an impersonal structure, but as a family reality built over time, made of memories and genuine connections with the territory.
Each apartment holds a piece of this family and a sense of belonging that we want to share even with those arriving here for the very first time.
A diffuse hotel experience in the heart of Scopello.
Staying in the dependance means experiencing Scopello in a more authentic way. Not a traditional hotel, but an experience that echoes the concept of albergo diffuso: dwellings integrated into the landscape, spaces that speak with the village, the countryside and the everyday life of the area.
Here you don't feel like a mere tourist. You live Scopello with more freedom, more slowness and a truer connection with Sicily.
The agriturismo services? You choose.
Choosing the dependance does not mean giving up the agriturismo experience. It simply means living your holiday with greater freedom, picking the formula that best suits your needs.
The All Inclusive package lets you stay in a spacious apartment while making full use of the hotel services available at the main property, for a more complete and relaxing experience.
Those who prefer a bed & breakfast only arrangement can build their stay more flexibly, adding only what they wish: breakfast to start the day with authentic Sicilian flavours, access to the jacuzzi pool and solarium for a few hours of relaxation after a morning among the coves, or a cleaning service to enjoy the holiday in complete peace of mind.
A solution designed for those who love to feel free even on holiday, without giving up the comfort and services of the agriturismo.
A stone's throw from the best of the Sicilian coast.
Outside the dependance, Scopello does the rest. Within minutes you can reach the Tonnara di Scopello, with its sea stacks overlooking the crystal-clear water, or lose yourself in the trails of the Zingaro Nature Reserve, among hidden coves and the scent of Mediterranean scrubland.
Everything is close, simple and reachable without stress. Leave when you like, come back when you like. And it is precisely this feeling of freedom that completely changes the way you experience a holiday in Scopello.
Dependance or agriturismo room: how to choose?
Many guests ask us what the difference is between staying in the dependance or choosing a room in the agriturismo. In truth there is no single right answer — only the way of experiencing a holiday that suits you best.
The depandance is the ideal choice for those seeking more privacy, autonomy and space — especially families or anyone who wants to organise their days in complete freedom, while living the authentic atmosphere of the ancient village of Scopello.
The agriturismo room, on the other hand, is perfect for those who prefer a more all-encompassing experience, with every service included and a more direct contact with nature, the scents of the Sicilian countryside and the life of the property.
In both cases, however, one thing is certain: waking up in Scopello means starting every day in one of the most beautiful places in Sicily.
