Baglio Villa Sicilia Selinunte (Castelvetrano) - Sicily

Just beyond the walls of Selinunte, city founded by the ancient Greeks, there is a quite magical place called Baglio Villa Sicilia. A luxurious period residence, Baglio Villa Sicilia was realized in the second half of the 18th century in the lands of the ancient Greek quarries, close to the Temple of Hera, the acropolis, and the sea of Selinunte.

Surrounded by an immense olive grove, Baglio Villa Sicilia is an elegant Sicilian country house recently transformed in welcoming hotel. The suites of the Maison d'Hôtes and the apartments facing the enclosed courtyard are all decorated with beautiful items of antique furniture and traditional Sicilian majolica. In preparation for the Baglio Villa Sicilia's conversion in hotel, both interiors and exteriors of the property underwent meticulous restoration and renovation work, which included the careful integration of the latest in modern technology.

Baglio Villa Sicilia's Farm testifies to the centuries-old relationship between the villa and the surrounding territory. The delicious aperitif olives of Nocellara del Belice and an excellent monocultivar extra virgin olive oil are the farm's most highly prized products. Reserved exclusively for those clients sojourning at the resort, Baglio Villa Sicilia's restaurant serves traditional Sicilian cuisine, prepared in the villa's marvelous majolica kitchen. Delicious local dishes are accompanied by a selection of the finest of the region's wines.

During their vacation at the Baglio Villa Sicilia, guests spend time relaxing by the resort's seawater infinity swimming pool, in the company of breathtaking views of the Temples of Selinunte, and the sea of Sicily. An unexpected treat for birdwatchers, within the estate there is a small lake, inhabited by numerous species of migratory birds and, in particular, the White Stork. Ideal choice for lovers of the sun and sea, Baglio Villa Sicilia has its own private beach, just five minutes away from the hotel, in Selinunte, close to the highly acclaimed "Pied dans l'eau" restaurant.
