Sampieri

Sampieri is a charming seaside village located along the coast of Scicli, renowned for its picturesque landscape and authentic atmosphere. Once a small fishing village, it is now a popular tourist destination appreciated for its perfect balance of nature, history, and tradition. The typical sandstone houses, the small harbor, and the wide golden beaches give the place a timeless charm. The symbol of the village is the Penna Brick Factory, an impressive industrial ruin from the early 20th century — an extraordinary example of Liberty-style industrial archaeology, standing right on the seafront. Sampieri also gained fame thanks to the TV series Inspector Montalbano, which captured its most scenic corners, helping to highlight the area’s cultural and landscape heritage. Today, the village retains its simple soul, welcoming visitors in search of relaxation and authenticity.
