Description: Perched on the side of a hill and reaching down to the ocean, this wonderful villa offers incredible hospitality along with its ocean views. Built on the site of, and incorporating into its design, a torre (tower) that was used in ancient times to watch for sea marauders. We planned on staying two days and ended up staying for a week. The name Scarpariello, I believe, comes from the word "scarpa" or shoe in Italian. The "ello" ending is often used in Italian to indicate a diminutive such as cute, pretty, small. We were told that the stone formation, viewed from the ocean looks like a "little shoe" thus Scarpa + ello = Scaprariello. I am guessing that the middle "ri" was added so the word could roll off the tongue.
