Villa Argento is truly a special place to relax, enjoy the sea, and experience all the things that make Sicily so wonderful. My wife and I stayed here with the children in 2019; in 2023 we returned, just us two, for a few days at the end of a tour of the island. Our room "Gelsomino" was nicely fixed up with an updated kitchen and bathroom. It was cool, comfortable, and quiet. The terrace outside the door made for a wonderful spot to enjoy morning coffee and look out onto the sea. The views are tremendous. A walkway at the back of the property leads to the water. It was too chilly to swim in May, but the trek down to the sea will clear your mind and provide many stunning photo opportunities for your Instagram feed. Villa Argento is a wonderful spot to enjoy this part of Sicily. It is just a ten minute drive to Aspra, a charming seaside fishing village. We stopped to watch "i pescatori" clean and display their catch each morning as we headed to the Lorenzini Cafe for cappuccini and cornetti. Our meal of fresh fish at Gallo d'Oro was also excellent. The Bagheria train station is nearby, and the service to Palermo is frequent and easy - all the signage and announcements at the station are in Italian and English. The regional train makes about 4 stops between Bagheria and Palermo, and the entire trip takes about 18 minutes. The owners, Francesco and Sonia, are two of the most charming people you will ever meet, available to answer questions and resolve any concerns. My 2019 review noted the problem with littering on the roads of Bagheria. We were very pleased to see the City is making a concerted effort to address this; Bagheria was much cleaner on this visit.
