Nestled in the fragrance of roses and flowers, Villa Aguglie rests on a gentle slope overlooking the surrounding countryside.
Guests can enjoy views stretching all the way to the Mediterranean, fading into a landscape of carob trees and dry-stone walls.
The villa’s interiors offer an atmosphere rooted in tradition, where furnishings blend harmoniously with decorative elements and the local architectural style.
In front of the villa, a swimming pool has been created, complete with a spacious, fully furnished sunbathing area.
Next to the pool lies the ancient threshing floor, featuring a barbecue area. The villa’s Arab-inspired style evokes a sense of timelessness, as if time itself had paused within its high surrounding walls.
From Villa Aguglie, it is easy to reach the Baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Scicli, and Noto, as well as the archaeological sites of Kamarina and Cava Ispica. The nearby beaches are less than 8 km away.
The surrounding countryside offers scenic nature trails winding through farmhouses, quarries, and streams, not to mention the Vendicari Nature Reserve and the Irminio River estuary.
The villa is spread over two floors: the upper floor is the main residence, while the ground floor is rented exclusively to a single group of guests. The spaces are arranged into several independent rooms, each with a private bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for large families or groups of friends while maintaining the unity of the residence. There are also areas suitable for preparing simple meals inside the house. The ground floor is rented in its entirety for a minimum of 10 guests, with access from the Arab-style garden, rich in flowers year-round and citrus trees.
This 19th-century property features thick walls that help keep the interiors pleasantly cool. Some rooms are equipped with air conditioning, while others have ceiling fans. The villa has been restored with careful respect for the architectural characteristics of 19th-century buildings: the original pitch-stone floors have been preserved, and where present, the ceiling frescoes have been restored.
The furnishings have also been carefully restored so as not to alter the charm of this historic residence.
