The villa is located approximately 4 km from the baroque town of Modica, in the Aguglie district.
The entrance to the villa is easily identifiable due to the monumental columns decorated with noble coats of arms that bear two characteristic spires at the top, which not only give the villa its name but also mark the district.
If coming from Catania, it is recommended to take state road no. 194 to Modica, then continue on state road 115 to Ispica. At km 4.00 from Modica (at the "Beneventano" intersection), continue on the provincial road to Pozzallo and about 100 m on the right side of the road, you can access the villa through an entrance adorned with large columns.
Almost all maps indicate the site of the villa as "Case Aguglie".

You will need a car if you stay here. The location was excellent for visiting a lot of interesting towns and beaches. It is a beautiful old country villa which has been lovingly restored and has a well-kept and attractive garden. The host Ester is a friendly lady who tried to help with any problems, lending us a beach umbrella, which was really needed. There is no view from the apartment, as the walls of the garden are too high. If the apartment were on the 1st floor, there would be excellent views available, but the 1st floor was not available to guests. The apartment has a kitchen that is only just usable. For the price, I expected a much higher quality of cooking utensils. The pots and pans should have been thrown out years ago, lots of old tired aluminum pans/frying pans. There was no proper kettle to boil water. The fridge was large and modern, but there was no oven, grill, microwave, or coffee machine. As no breakfast was offered, we would have appreciated better apartment facilities. The bedroom has a good fan, but no air con. It was just about okay without it. The bathroom is small with a small shower, but was adequate for us. Two definite advantages are the secure car parking and the very nice swimming pool. All in all, we enjoyed our time here, just the cooking was a problem. If you eat out then it won't bother you.

We stayed at Villa Aguglie at the end of August 2020 with our three children. We have a very pleasant memory of that week. The apartments are simple but cozy, well-kept, and some even decorated. The garden is wonderful for the scents, flower beds, fruit trees, the greenery, and the tranquility it instills. The pool is beautiful, almost for personal use, alternating with other guests. The location is excellent for visiting the surrounding areas: Modica, Ragusa, Noto, Syracuse, the many beautiful seaside places. Lastly, but not least, we want to thank Mrs. Ester who welcomed us with marked kindness, culture, and availability.

I would first like to specify the type of the structure: Villa Aguglie, an 19th-century villa located between Pozzallo and Modica in a pleasant setting where nature reigns supreme. The villa is in excellent condition, admiring it is a pleasure for the eyes. As soon as you enter the courtyard, it feels like being in another era, pots full of plants and flowers intoxicate the senses. The apartment, essential but equipped with all comforts, is furnished with taste respecting the environment of the Villa in which it is located. The pool in front of the Villa is the perfect place to relax and regenerate. But special praise goes to the hostess Esther who made us feel at home in every way and keeps the villa a beautiful place.
