An illustration of a guest book

Il Baglio della Sorgente was absolutely beautiful, outstanding - spacious, elegantly designed, and perfectly equipped with everything we could need. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, and the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. The pool and outdoor areas were stunning, with amazing scenery all around. Everyone was so kind and helpful, making our stay truly unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Would we return? Absolutely! We didn't even have the chance to enjoy every little corner of this amazing place!

Our stay at Il Baglio della Sorgente was absolutely wonderful. The villa is exquisite, spacious and very comfortable. All of its rooms could be individually temperature controlled. We could enjoy the beauty of the outdoors in its beautiful pool surrounded by orchards. We even chose to take our meals in the outdoor dining area, not only shaded but kept comfortable by a ceiling fan. We are a multi-generational family, 14 of us, ages 5 to 80. We ALL loved this place. It also came with an angel housekeeper. She not only fed us each morning with a bountiful breakfast, spoke perfect English, but ensured every detail of our relaxation was attended to. We are fortunate as a family to have been able to enjoy each other in some pretty nice places in the world but this was THE BEST! We used The Thinking Traveller’s in-house cooking team for three dinners and they were excellent. We couldn’t be more pleased with the Thinking Traveller but most of all, Il Baglio della Sorgente!

Baglio della Sorgente is a beautiful home and exactly as described. It was well-appointed with independent rooms and beautiful common spaces.

Il Baglio della Sorgente is a great villa with wonderful, friendly staff. What stood out for us was the interior design and cleanliness.

I don't want to advertise quite how good Baglio della Sorgente and its housekeeper are, just in case they get booked up! It's a great place with lovely people. Nothing was too much trouble. A big shout out to The Thinking Traveller team, too.

Verified guest, September 2024

Il Baglio della Sorgente is stylish, relaxing, and comfortable. What stood out was the interior décor, the linens, the furnishing, and the air-conditioning. We appreciated the separation of the independent family house, and the amazing service provided by the housekeeper. Would we return? Yes, I feel the pricing was good value for the luxury and style on offer compared with some other villa experiences we have had. I feel the area of Sicily is quiet and will gradually become better known.

The Area

Il Baglio della Sorgente sits in the southeast of Sicily, just a few kilometres inland from the long stretches of sandy beach that line the coast from Scoglitti down to Punta Secca and Marina di Ragusa (Montalbano country).

Inland, just an easy drive away is Ragusa, one of several stunning baroque towns, including Modica, Scicli and Noto, that form the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto. A more off-the-beaten-track town worth visiting is Chiaramonte Gulfi, which sits in a superbly panoramic position in the hills to the northeast. One architectural curiosity in the area is the fantastical Castello di Donnafugata.

Slightly further afield, though still within easy day-trip distance, are the historic towns of Caltagirone, known for its ceramics and its baroque centre, and Syracuse, an ancient Greek town, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia. The world famous UNESCO World Heritage of Villa Romana del Casale, in Piazza Armerina, is also an easy drive away.
