About the property

Inside

accommodation at Casa Agave is organised over two floors. The main entrance takes one into the spacious open-plan, sea-view living and dining area, whose double height ceilings, double aspect glass sliding doors and clerestory windows make for an airy atmosphere. The sliding glass doors lead straight out onto the pool area on one side and the side terraces on the other.

To one end of the living and dining area is the well-equipped kitchen with breakfast table, views out to sea and access via French windows to the shady al fresco dining area.

Accommodation on the ground floor is completed by a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, a double-twin bedroom and a family shower room. Both bedrooms have direct access to the surrounding terraces. Stairs lead up to the first floor gallery overlooking the living and dining area below. From here one accesses the third bedroom, a double with en-suite shower room and a little roof terrace.

Outside

the outdoor areas at Casa Agave provide space for relaxing, having fun and enjoying long convivial meals. Accessed directly from the kitchen is the shady al fresco dining area, which, like most of the outdoor areas looks out to sea.

A few steps away from here, and seamlessly connected via large glass sliding doors to the indoor living room, is the dreamy pool area, whose infinity pool, complete with hydromassage corner, is flanked by terraces furnished with sunloungers and a large romantic daybed. Steps lead down from here to the garden, which is planted with palm trees, agave and other Mediterranean flora, and furnished with a lovely decked area overlooking the beach and the sea, the perfect spot for an aperitif as the sun goes down.

This area is also where you will find the magical sea gate, which opens directly onto the dunes and beach of the Belice Nature Reserve, a 3km-long stretch of sand and shallow waters that rarely gets very busy, even in August.

About the Area

With one of Sicily's loveliest stretches of sandy beach on your doorstep (not to mention the seafood restaurant of La Pineta - about 2km along the beach of the Belice Nature Reserve), you may never feel the need to explore the other lovely beaches in the area, such as the one at Porto Palo, which has received 20 consecutive "Blue Flags", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence.

Casa Agave is ideally placed for visiting the stunning archaeological site of Selinunte and the Cave di Cusa, while there are several interesting historic towns within easy driving distance, including Sciacca and Mazara del Vallo, both of which have charming old centres, some great restaurants and working ports with a 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

Please note that access to the beach from the villa is via a natural, uneven path that may be challenging for those with limited mobility, specific health concerns, or young children. The path is located within a protected nature reserve and cannot be modified.

Casa Agave features an 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.

Because of natural changes to the coastline from season to season, the sandy beach in front of this property may not look as it does in the photos.

Please note that there is a neighbouring property to one side of Casa Agave, which is almost completely masked by thick barrier vegetation.

Cats may be seen in the villa grounds; villa staff will discourage their presence and we advise all clients to do the same, however we cannot guarantee that they will stay away from outside furniture.

We absolutely loved Casa Agave. It was faultless, the location and the general comfort and furnishings. It was relaxing, comfortable and set in gorgeous surroundings - all in all a beautiful villa. We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip and we will defined use The Thinking Traveller for our next villa holiday - a great company from start to finish.

Casa Agave is fantastic, a beautiful villa. Being able to walk directly onto the beach was such a joy. We had a wonderful time.

Verified guest, visited August 2024

Casa Agave is in a beautiful location. The pool and yard are lovely and the grounds are manicured. The view is out of a storybook. The interior is beautiful and decorated with good taste. There isn't anything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds are very comfortable. We plan on returning to Italy and I wouldn't think of another company. You are a five star organization and I would definitely make sure you retain your staff because they are irreplaceable!

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Agave. The villa was superb and had everything you could imagine provided for you. The staff who look after the house keep it spotless and provided us with everything we needed plus some extra treats! The in-villa chef provided us with the best pasta we had in Sicily. We have stayed in some great places but this wes probably the best villa stay for us.
