VILLA SEGESTA

VILLA SEGESTA

Sleeps 30
Bedrooms 19, Bathrooms 19
Agrigento, Sicily – Italy

Experience exclusivity and charm in the heart of the Sicilian countryside, just miles from the sea and near the iconic Valley of the Temples. Perched on a hill, this villa offers a tranquil stay in the rustic simplicity of an ancient farmhouse and the renovated rooms of an old train station and winery, surrounded by an olive grove.

This stunning property, formerly an old estate’s winery, is near historic sites and the crystal-clear Sicilian Sea. It has been fully restored and modernized in a harmonious blend of old and new, using stone, cement, and plaster. The estate has four separate structures, a main house, and a separate villa with a private infinity pool and outdoor seating area surrounded by an olive grove.

All rooms are very comfortable, and after the restoration, in some rooms, the original family furnishings make them warm and genuine, typically Sicilian style; in others, the design and tradition blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The villa’s hospitality is authentic and effortless, offering guests a relaxed and traditional experience.

A green oasis surrounded by a hundred-year-old olive trees reflecting in the private pool.
The estate boasts multiple courtyards and gardens, adorned with palm trees and exotic African flora. Savour unforgettable meals and breathtaking views from the various terraces and patios, each equipped with comfortable sun loungers, armchairs, and dining tables for all guests to enjoy.
