With a fragrant, floral central courtyard, one of the defining characteristics of a baglio, a panoramic pool and easy access to a host of sandy beaches, Baglio delle Oche lends itself to total relaxation and the pursuit of summery pleasures.

About the Property

Inside: accommodation is spread over three buildings arranged around, and accessed from, the central courtyard. The entrance to the main house leads to a large living room connected to a second, comfortably furnished living area and a dining area. This latter leads through to the large, well-equipped kitchen (wih direct access to the courtyard's al fresco dining area) and to a double bedroom with its own dressing room and luxuriously appointed en-suite bathroom (double sinks, shower and tub!). To one side of the first living room is the original kitchen, with wood-burning oven and access to a small courtyard.

Just across this small courtyard is the guesthouse (also accessed from the main courtyard). Here there are two double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, and a twin, which shares a bathroom with the second double.

The third building, the poolhouse, is accessed either from the central courtyard or the pool area and has a double bedroom, a shower room (which also serves the pool), a bathroom with WC and sink and a quad room with two bunk beds.

Outside: the large central courtyard, where you will probably spend a considerable amount of time, has two shady al fresco dining areas, a lounge area and a small citrus garden. Bougainvillea, jasmine and other fragrant Mediterranean plants suffuse the air with their perfume, all making for a very sensuous atmosphere. Off the central courtyard are the two smaller courtyards that serve as terraces for the bedrooms. A gate leads from the courtyard to the panoramic pool, which is flanked by lawns and vineyards and offers views out towards the sea.

Think About

Although Baglio delle Oche sleeps up to 14 guests, for technical reasons and to ensure the smooth running of the house, the owner prefers to limit the number of guests to 10 (children included). There are some overhead power lines about 200m from the house, but these cannot be seen from the courtyard.


The Area

Exploring the local Area

The long, often deserted sandy beaches are without a doubt one of the major attractions of the area around Menfi, and Baglio delle Oche is within easy reach of several of these. From the wild beaches of the Belice Nature Reserve to the fully equipped lidi with water sports and restaurant facilities of Porto Palo, this area is a magnet for beach lovers. For those in search of culture, the superb Greek archaeological site of Selinunte is one of the finest in the Mediterranean. Menfi itself is a centre of the local wine industry, with several wineries, including a large Planeta winery that produces some of the best known wines of that famous marque. Sciacca, too, is just along the coast. This old fishing port and spa town is well worth a visit, and has some great fish restaurants. And when you've done all that, head inland to see some fascinating hill towns, such as Caltabellotta or Sambuca.
