Una settimana senza precedenti...era la prima volta che ci riunivamo tutti in famiglia per una vacanza tutti insieme (eravamo in 18). Non ci è mancato nulla, la villa è immensa e ha tutti i comfort! Quella meravigliosa e spaziosa cucina, la piscina molto rinfrescante per i pomeriggi più caldi. Raccomandiamo assolutamente Azucena!

WOW! what an awesome vacation! From the moment we arrived the owners of the property Salvatore and Michael were very helpful... first impression was wow... beautiful! the villa and the rooms were very very clean and exactly as it appears on the website... the villa is far enough away from the cities and towns for seclusion and close enough to fully enjoy what Sicily has to offer! A fantastic option the owners offer is to have food prepared for us to enjoy the villa more... we had a party of 20 ... they prepared breakfast for us each day... it was great... while enjoying the restaurants we decided to try having dinner prepared for us in the villa... the 2 dinners were nothing short of fantastic! this is a must go!

Ma che villa fantastica...i colori, i profumi, la casa immensa, tutto ha contribuito a rendere questa vacanza una di quelle che non dimenticheremo mai! Abbiamo viaggiato per i nostri 50 anni di matrimonio con i nostri figli e nipoti...semplicemente meravigliosa. Grazie a tutti voi

Dear Salvatore and Michael
Many many thanks for sharing with us this peaceful place you made. Everything was just perfect! We really enjoyed staying at Villa Azucena ... the fantastic gardens ... a real paradise for eyes, ears and scents ... I returned back to my childhood ... the beauty and the smell of the ancient house ... just priceless

Unbeatable - We stayed here for a week in July. The villa is absolutely amazing, beautifully finished, and so well maintained. It was genuinely such an enjoyable experience; but the best thing about the villa is the hosts. They were so welcome and friendly, and could not have done more to help. Would 100% recommend to anyone, and would love to come back again. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Our family of 25 adults and children (ages 13-25) just spent a glorious week at Villa Azucena!
This private Oasis is conveniently located between Ragusa Ibla and the Mediterranean Sea (Marina di Ragusa). The 17th Century farm has been meticulously restored. It is obvious that a lot of love and care went into the project to maintain its old charm while offering all of the modern conveniences to make your stay perfect. The private bedrooms are all beautifully decorated (simple sophistication), the beds are very comfortable, the sheets and towels - luxurious and the bathrooms are modern and lovely.
Many of the bedrooms have kitchenettes too (with a stove top, marble counter top and a few cabinets).
There are so many nice little touches in the Villa and bedrooms as well - Potted plants on the window sills, beautiful artwork, hand soaps in the bathrooms and crisp cotton bedding.
The main living area is spacious, airy, bright and very comfortable. There is always a nice light breeze blowing through the area. The large counter was perfect for sitting and having coffee and there is plenty of space for large groups to have dinner together in the dining area.
We were lucky enough to have the Villa cook for us on two occasions. The food was fresh, homemade, local cuisine and plentiful! It was delicious! The staff did a wonderful job cooking the food, serving it, setting a beautiful table adorned with fresh cut flowers from the property and attending to our every need.
Each morning one of the staff cleaned up the kitchen and living space for us as well which was a welcomed surprise.
The yard is serene and comfortable as well. We spent many hours in the pool and relaxing poolside – enjoying the lush flora and shade.

Finally, Salvatore and Michael were amazing and gracious hosts! They popped in with fresh basil from the garden, brought us freshly made buffalo mozzarella , provided coffee pods, fresh olive oil from the property, were always available for advice, and they even organized a ride for my 80 yr old father- in- law so he would not have to navigate driving through Ragusa for lunch one day. Salvatore was also kind enough to take several of us to see the local Ricotta farm (a Mom and Pop operation).

It was a 5 * experience in every way! We highly recommend this property.

Magnifique Azucena....immense, propre, agréable, jardin superbe. Beaucoup de chaises longues, tables, fauteuils, etc...enfin rien à redire pour l'aménagement. Le propriétaire, Salvatore, a été super disponible, super gentil, et nous nous sentions vraiment bien et en sécurité dans ce beau coin de paradis... A signaler seulement qu'il manquait 3 lits de bébés et 3 chaises bébés sur les 5 promis dans l'offre...à corriger!! A part cela, nous avons été enchantés, surtout....de cette salle de séjour immense et magnifique, et de la grande piscine super propre... NOus avons également profité du service de repas à plusieurs reprises....top. Super bon, et des quantités non négligeables.... Merci Salvatore et Azucena.....

A wonderful, convivial villa for large groups
Sal, Michael and their staff were perfect, attentive hosts when needed (and invisible when not). Sal was extremely gracious, generous and brought an attention to detail in all that he did which was truly impressive. The arrangement of the central dining and recreation area relative to the pool is ideal – a really sociable set up. We had catering a few times, which was targeted to our needs and the quality was extremely high, with local ingredients and very good value local wine chosen on our behalf. The pasta-making course was also greatly enjoyable. We had a thoroughly wonderful time and would highly recommend the villa for large groups like ours. We're only just back home, but we'd love to return.

We had a wonderful time at Azucena. The villa is stunning and has both common areas for large groups with children to play together, and lovely corners to spend a quiet afternoon reading al fresco. There is also the option of having fabulous home-cooked meals. The owner is a lovely and kind host.

Overview

This outstandingly beautiful property is located near Ragusa and is immersed in 20 splendid hectares that almost reach the coast. On a clear day, you can glimpse the sea from the estate. The traditional farmhouse or "baglio" was constructed at the beginning of the 19th century but was abandoned for many years. The recent restoration hasn't detracted from its beauty, merely added some superb facilities and today the property can be seen in all its glory and former splendour thanks to the meticulous attention given to its original structure. The glorious garden dotted in carob, olive and palms has played a big part in giving majesty back to the property. You'll love it!

Property details

At the entrance to the "baglio" a magnificent staircase leads up to the solarium and swimming pool which are surrounded by date palms and oleanders. The wonderful 14x9 mt solar-heated swimming pool is equipped with a water massage system too. Behind the pool there is a huge patio covering an area of more than 200 square metres where there's a high-spec kitchen with upscale appliances, dining table and living area with comfortable sofas, armchairs, tables and a fireplace. The antique stone "baglio" rises behind the patio, lovingly reconstructed to provide 9 suites each with independent entrance, a double bed and a bathroom with shower. Eight of them have kitchenettes. On the ground floor there's also a 60-square meter apartment consisting of two double beds, bathroom and small kitchen. A single bed can be added to the ground-floor apartment and to 4 of the suites. On the first floor, there is another large apartment with one double bedroom and a triple, each with a terrace, a bathroom with bathtub and a large kitchen. The property is air-conditioned throughout for your comfort and there are loads of comfy shady spots where you can relax in the luxuriant garden surronding the courtyards. Another apartment for 4 people with a king sized bed, 2 single beds and bathroom is also available upon request. The house-plans can be seen on additional information.

Additional information

The solar heated swimming pool keeps water temperature between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius, depending on the weather conditions.


The municipality may require the payment of the daily tourist tax for all guests aged 12 and over. The amount, which may vary according to the season and the location, must be paid in cash to the reception manager upon arrival.

Surrounding Area

The property is located in the area of Ragusa halfway between the town and the marina. It is ideally located for exploring the magnificent beaches in the area such as Kamarina, Marina di Ragusa, Playa Grande, Pozzallo, Donnalucata and Punto Secca. The baroque towns of Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Ispica and Palazzolo Acreide are just a short drive away. A little further afield is Noto and the Vendicari nature reserve and an hour drive gets you to Siracusa, Ortigia and Caltagirone. We highly recommend excursions to Castello di Donnafugata and the lakes of the Cavagrande di Cassibile river as well-they are just too good to miss!
