About the property

Inside

accommodation at Angheli is spread over the main house and a guesthouse. The front door takes one from a welcoming courtyard into a beautifully conceived and luxuriously furnished living area, with lofty white-beamed ceilings and a large cobalt sofa looking out through sliding glass doors to the terrace, the infinity pool, and the sea beyond. Light grey resin floors and white walls create bright, airy ambience while also providing the perfect backdrop for the rich hues of the furnishings and the artwork and decorative pieces that adorn the room. This living area is the true hub of the property, off which the rest of the accommodation flows organically.

A few wide steps to the right take one past a curvaceous staircase to the large open-plan dining area and kitchen. The former hosts a convivially large table, while the latter is a dream for anyone who loves to cook. Expertly designed and beautifully crafted, the kitchen revolves around an impressively well-equipped, double-sided stainless steel island with both induction and gas hobs. Whoever is on kitchen duty need not miss out on the sea views, thanks to the large sliding glass doors that also provide seamless access to the shady, panoramic al fresco dining area. A second glazed door near the dining table leads outside to a terrace, equipped with a large built-in barbecue and double sinks, just a few steps away from the al fresco dining area.

Heading back to the living room, five steps take one down to a second, cosy living area with four comfy armchairs gathered round a TV. To one side, a glazed door opens out into a delightful walled garden, while to the other is the first bedroom, a sea-view double-twin with en-suite shower room and sliding glass doors accessing a private section of terrace, the gardens and the pool.

At the far end of the second living room is a generously proportioned double bedroom, featuring a four-poster bed, wonderful sea views, access to a private terrace, and a luxurious bathroom with large walk-in shower.

Back in the first living area, an elegant staircase takes one up to the first floor landing, off which are three more bedrooms: two doubles and a twin, each with its own beautiful en-suite shower room. The two doubles have private panoramic terraces looking out over the pool, the surrounding vineyards and the sea.

Accommodation at Angheli is completed by a guesthouse, situated just a few steps across the entrance courtyard from the main house. Here there is a twin bedroom with en-suite shower room and, next door, a well-equipped gym.

Outside

from the parking area, one accesses a welcoming walled courtyard. To the right is the guesthouse, while to the left, a few steps down, is a secluded little garden with emerald lawns and citrus trees, a wonderful spot to lie down and read a book in the shade.

To the front of the house is a large expanse of terrace on several levels. Accessed from the main living area, is a gorgeous shady area furnished with two outsize sofas. From here, a few wide steps lead up to the al fresco dining area, which is conveniently accessed from the kitchen. A few more steps lead down across the lawns to the wonderful heatable infinity pool, which boasts magnetic views across the vineyards and out to sea. All bedrooms except the twin on the first floor have their own terrace, offering more of those stunning views.

About the Area

Angheli is located just a few kilometres outside Menfi, a wine-making town surrounded by vine-carpeted hills and olive groves.

Some of Sicily's best beaches run along the coast below Menfi and many of these, including the ones at the Belice Nature Reserve (which Angheli overlooks) and Porto Palo, are just a 20 minute drive away. The beaches in the area of Menfi have received over 20 consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.

Not to be missed for anyone staying in the area is the superb archaeological site of Selinunte and the Cave di Cusa, followed, perhaps, by a superb lunch or dinner at the seafront restaurant La Pineta on the beach of the Belice Nature Reserve). Several of the towns nearby are also well worth a visit. Sciacca and Mazara del Vallo both have charming old centres, some great restaurants and working ports with large fishing fleets that work the Mediterranean daily. A little further afield but still in easy day-trip distance are Marsala, Trapani and Erice. Caltabellotta is spectacularly situated in the craggy hills overlooking both coast and interior, while Menfi itself is an up-and-coming centre of excellence for the wine trade.

Cycling in the Menfi area is a very pleasurable pastime, thanks to both the quiet back roads and the purpose-built cycle track along and around the old railway line between Menfi, Porto Palo and Sciacca. We’d be delighted to have bikes delivered to your villa and, if anyone in your group is an inveterate pedaller, arrange for a local guide to show them the best routes.

Considerations

Angheli features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop from the infinity edge so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

You may also wish to know that the pool has a single depth of 1.5m.

The final section of the access road to Angheli is a little rough, so we recommend guests hire a 4x4 or one with high ground clearance.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

The number of steps that must be negotiated to get into and/or around this property might make it unsuitable for people with reduced mobility.

This property is surrounded by countryside, some of which is unfenced and may include drops or steep slopes. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.

Guest Reviews

Angheli was excellent, especially the quality of the kitchen, the AC, the flooring, the beds, and the décor.

Verified guest, visited August 2026

Angheli's design, quality of construction, cleanliness, setting, view, privacy, tranquility were all exceptional. We could not have been happier with the villa itself. Perfection! Would we return? Yes, the villa was spectacular. No complaints. Absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful.

BK, visited June 2026

Angheli is very spacious, comfortable and has a beautiful garden and views.

Verified guest, visited May 2026

Angheli is a fabulous villa, beautifully appointed, but very homely and welcoming at the same time. Amazing views, and a great place to holiday with friends and family, relax and catch up. There's plenty of places for everyone - ideal for two families. The staff were lovely. The housekeeper was friendly, and hugely efficient at keeping the villa sparklingly clean. And the gardener is wonderfully talented - everything was beautifully planted and maintained. I will wholeheartedly recommend Angheli to my friends and family.

We had a really lovely stay at Angheli. What stood out was the outdoor setting with pool, the outdoor eating and seating area and the view.

Verified guest, visited October 2024

Angheli was amazing. The furnishings were very high quality, and it very well equipped. Plus, the view was amazing. There was a sunset every evening. We loved the villa and would highly recommend it. The photos don’t do it justice. Amazing Thinking Traveller staff, amazing chef, and great excursions.

Angheli is beautiful and the views are wonderful.

The lady who came to kindly cook a few meals for us at Angheli was amazing. Most of our best food in Sicily was from her and she was so nice and thoughtful. We miss her!
