Baglio Villa Sicilia Selinunte (Castelvetrano) Map

Baglio Villa Sicilia is a fascinating period residence situated in the countryside just outside Selinunte. The prestigious villa, which dates back to the second half of the 18th century, rests in the lands of the ancient Greek quarries, close to the acropolis of Selinunte, the Temple of Hera, and the sea.

A path lined with palm and date trees introduces guests to the magical world of Baglio Villa Sicilia. Surrounded by an immense coastal olive plantation, the resort provides luxurious guest accommodation in suites inside the Maison d'hôtes and in apartments overlooking the picturesque enclosed courtyard. The suites offer a superb example of traditional Sicilian décor. Careful restoration and meticulous attention to detail has resulted in rooms featuring authentic antique furnishings, exquisite Sicilian majolica, and magnificent terracotta floors.

When they are not off exploring the many important archeological and artistic sites of interest in the immediate vicinity of Baglio Villa Sicilia, guests might easily be found relaxing by the hotel's stunning infinity swimming pool, enjoying the peace and quiet which surrounds the property, and the view of the Selinunte Temples and the sea. In just five minutes, guests staying at the Baglio Villa Sicilia reach the resort's private beach in Selinunte, where to bathe in the warm waters and savor the Sicilian specialties served at the "Pieds dans l'eau" restaurant.

The noble origins of the 18th century Baglio transpire in each and every room of this luxurious Sicilian property. The ancient majolica tiled kitchen still conserves the olive oil vat which testifies to the agricultural origins of the villa. The restaurant (for hotel guests only) serves traditional Sicilian dishes accompanied by a well-researched selection of regional wines. Tastings of the Nocellara del Belice aperitif olives and the highly prized Nocellara monocultivar extra virgin olive oil produced on the Baglio Villa Sicilia's farm, are organized on request. To the delight of birdwatchers, within the grounds of the estate there is a small lake which attracts numerous species of migratory birds to its shores each year.
