This villa was amazing!, beautiful views from the terrace and the infinity pool which was lit up at night. Totally clean and comfortable, really spacious, everything provided. The games room and tennis court were a real bonus for a large group. Well located for short drive to the beaches or into Ragusa. Host is lovely.
Villa Afroditi is a beautiful property and made our visit to Sicily the perfect vacation! The views are stunning and the gardens are lovely. The villa is well maintained and spacious and has everything you need to relax and enjoy your time there. A special Thank You to the owner and his associates who were very accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay the best vacation weâve ever had. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a beautiful spot to enjoy Sicily!!
We stayed at the villa with our 2 adult sons, their girlfriends and our 16 year old, and Villa Afrodite provided a beautiful space for us to holiday together. It's a really spacious villa and worked well with our large group.
The best features are the larger than usual pool, the living space with French doors that open out onto the pool area. It's a clean, modern holiday home with 3 excellent bedrooms and ensuites. The fourth bedroom and bathroom is situated in the cavernous basement, which is rather a dark, scary place. There's so much unused space down there, and just some random bits of furniture, a dart board and a table football. My 16 year old son eventually got used to sleeping down there (he had no choice) but I can relate to the previous comments made about the basement.
It's about a 20 minute drive to Marina di Ragusa where there are numerous restaurants and a lovely beach. We hired speedboats and spent a whole day on the water, which was lovely. The downside is that you can't walk anywhere as there is nothing local and there is a fairly busy road beneath the property, which I thought would be intrusive, but it actually wasn't a problem.
There were a couple of niggles we had when we were there, that couldn't be fixed: the pool filters were broken we had to be careful not to stand on them; the netting to screen the tennis court from the next door property had ripped and fallen down, but was going to take a day to fix, so we lived with it as we used the tennis court every day; the kitchen desperately needs large tumbler glasses - a very easy and cheap thing to sort.
As a holiday rental, it worked really well for our family. The pool, tennis court and living space and view are the best features of this property.
Villa Afrodite is a stunning south facing hill side property with fabulous views to the coast
I stayed with my adult family - all in their 20's, that was a great place to just chill out or indulge in tennis, pool, table football, table tennis and swim. After my initial disappointing first impressions when we arrived, the place did grow on me and my adult children loved the space with all the activities on offer.
This property is exclusively a holiday let, with minimalist furnishing & no personal items - books, DVD's, etc. Also very disappointing TV options, as unless you a keen fan of Tunisian 'free to view' ...... there is basically nothing, not even BBC World News or CNN. Doubly disappointing as the World Cup was on. The Wifi however is good.
The 3 upper floor double bedrooms are excellent with good aircon, super comfortable beds, great en-suites and bathroom facilities (incl. Jacuzzi in the master bedroom). The fourth double bedroom is in the basement with no outside window - a serious 'short straw' last choice. My 21 year old son decided to sleep with his older brother in a double bed upstairs rather than use this bedroom.
The property is a huge modern house with vast internal spaces & high ceilings, where an Architect has been let loose to make a statement.
If you are into security there are safe quality steel doors throughout. However the electrics are very eccentric and temperamental - at first glance it all looks very impressive but their 15 year old tech is now out-dated and dodgy. The living area is very minimally furnished and definitely short of a sofa - would comfortably seat 5 but not if you want to stretch out with your feet up.
The pool is lovely but the house is missing some shaded relaxing out-door space - as they have applied the same minimalist approach outside. The BBQ is a small charcoal Weber far too small to cook for a family, which for me was a massive let down as I love to BBQ - we only used it once.
The kitchen is fairly well equipped but almost no cooking basics that you'd normally expect - you will have to buy everything from coffee, olive oil, sugar, etc. They did provide washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets - but I think what's there is what's been left over from previous guests.
A beautiful house with a great view, but missing that bit extra to make your stay really great. 3.5 stars out 5.
Wir waren im Oktober 2025 zu Gast. Leider ist das Haus deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Einige Punkte, die uns besonders aufgefallen sind: Die Dichtungen in den Duschen waren unsauber, das Thermostat lieĂ sich kaum regulieren â entweder kalt oder zu heiĂ. Am zweiten Abend fiel die Elektronik des Tores aus. Der Hausmeister musste kommen und die Anlage abklemmen, sodass wir das Tor anschlieĂend nur noch manuell öffnen und schlieĂen konnten. Dadurch war das GrundstĂŒck jederzeit frei zugĂ€nglich.Auch im Inneren gab es MĂ€ngel: z.B.Die groĂe BalkontĂŒr war so schwergĂ€ngig, dass der SchlĂŒssel abbrach (wir haben ihn ersetzen lassen). Die SpĂŒlmaschine funktionierte nicht, weil ein Teil des unteren SprĂŒharms abgebrochen war. In der KĂŒche sind einige SchrĂ€nke defekt und nicht nutzbar, der Tisch klebrig â wir haben kurzerhand ein Bettlaken als Tischdecke verwendet. Die StĂŒhle sind stark abgenutzt; neue wĂ€ren definitiv angebracht. Der Pool wurde trotz vorheriger AnkĂŒndigung nicht gereinigt.Besonders problematisch sind die unteren Schlafzimmer: Sie sind sehr feucht und voller Ameisen und TausendfĂŒĂler. In einem Raum war anfangs alles voller Ameisen, da die TĂŒrdichtungen defekt sind.Positiv zu erwĂ€hnen ist, dass anfangs auf unsere Beschwerden reagiert wurde. Nach einigen Tagen haben wir jedoch aufgehört zu reklamieren, weil es einfach zu viel wurde. Wir haben dann versucht, das Beste aus unserem Aufenthalt zu machen. Wir, Gruppe von 8 Personen wĂŒrden dieses Anwesen jedoch nicht mehr buchen.
