If you're staying at Hotel Torre Bennistra, perhaps for a romantic escape, consider spending your day exploring the charming village of Scopello.
A brief two-minute walk from the hotel will bring you to this delightful destination. Stroll through its narrow lanes, past the ancient watering trough and verdant trees, and peruse the vibrant offerings of its traditional shops. Here, you'll find souvenirs, local crafts, ceramics, and an array of local wines, among other treasures, as well as quaint, upscale boutiques.
Be captivated by the baglio, a typical courtyard accessed via an arch, now a hub for various enterprises. Don't miss out on tasting the "pane cunzato," a delicious bread topped with tomato, oregano, and cheese, indulging in some exquisite ice cream, or enjoying an aperitif at one of the square's bars. Immerse yourself in the relaxed pace of life here, a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle, where time appears to stand still.

Our staff can arrange a guided tour for you to uncover the secrets of the reserve, offering tales and anecdotes that paint a vivid picture of this unparalleled spot on the globe.
