Surrounded by the enveloping scent of roses and flowers, Villa Aguglie stands majestic on a slope that offers a charming view of the surrounding countryside, reaching all the way to the Mediterranean Sea, which gets lost among the green carob trees and traditional dry stone walls. This ancient building, a witness to Sicilian history, is a splendid example of a noble villa from the late 19th century, recognized for its historical, artistic, and architectural value by the Superintendent of Fine Arts of Ragusa.

The interiors of the villa carry its heritage, with furnishings that reflect the local tradition and restored decorations that give the environment a sense of authenticity and warmth. The ground floor is rented for short periods with the exclusive tourist lease formula to a single group of guests for a minimum of 10 people and offers the necessary comforts for a pleasant stay, including Wi-Fi. The first floor is the main residence and is always accessed through the lush arabesque garden.

The villa also includes a pool with a large sunbathing area, ideal for relaxing moments under the Sicilian sun, and an ancient courtyard that offers a barbecue area, perfect for sharing pleasant evenings outdoors. Inside, the pitchstone floors and restored frescoes create a charming atmosphere, while the thick walls keep the spaces cool during the hot summer days. Some rooms on the ground floor are equipped with air conditioning, while others benefit from ceiling fans to ensure daily moments of comfort.

Immersed in the beauty of the Iblean countryside, Villa Aguglie is located a few kilometers from the historic cities of Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Scicli, and Noto, as well as the archaeological sites of Camarina and Cava Ispica. Less than eight kilometers away, the beaches of the coast offer moments of relaxation and leisure. Nature enthusiasts can venture along various trails that cross agricultural landscapes, quarries, and streams, until they reach the splendid Oases of Vendicari and the mouth of the Irminio river.

This villa embodies not only a refuge from the world but also a strategic starting point for exploring the baroque wonders of the Val di Noto, savoring the renowned local cuisine by revisiting the Modica gastronomic tradition, and for pop culture lovers, discovering the locations of the famous series "Inspector Montalbano. " History merges with natural beauty in a place where time seems to have stopped, inviting you to live a unique experience in the heart of Sicily.

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.
