Hotels near Centro Commerciale Citta＇ dei Templi, Villaseta

Villa Athena has been the top hotel in Agrigento and one of the well-known luxury hotels in Sicily for decades. We could not get a reservation there on our first trip to Sicily, but this spring we were able to stay for 2 nights. The location is as amazing as pictures and website show - you can look our your window or sit in the garden with a full-on view of the Temples. Absolutely stunning. Having said that, location and view are only one part of the hotel experience. Our room (temple view) was extremely small, but very well-maintained; the bathroom was decent-sized and totally modern. Still, it was the smallest room we've had anywhere in Europe in a long time, let alone for a 5-star hotel. Since we were there before summer, breakfast and dinner were served in a totally indoor space without any view and decorated in an ultra-modern style, which left us a little cold. And while the front desk staff were very welcoming, the restaurant staff did not add much to our experience -- on the first morning, we were ignored (for ordering coffee or seeing a menu) until we called someone over and we never got a single smile from anyone. We were so surprised that I mentioned it - quietly - to the front desk person. It actually made us decide to have dinner elsewhere. On the second morning, the breakfast staff was friendlier, but I have to say that it colored our opinion of the hotel. We were happy to have finally stayed at the Villa, but if I were to return to Agrigento, I'd seek out an alternative. If the Villa advertises itself as a 5-star experience and charges accordingly, it needs to deliver. We'd be willing to stay in less luxury but with warmer, more personal service.

The hotel is spectacular with wonderful decoration. super friendly employees. Everything is impeccable from the lobby, the bar, the restaurant and the spectacular rooms. It's a 4-star hotel, but it looks like a 5-star hotel, wow

Small structure, very comfortable in the centre and almost ”inside” the railway station, which nevertheless does not have any disturbances and offers parking at a cost unrealized price inside the hotel (but free parking in a short distance). A quiet and secure area, though a little difficult to reach for the first time, coming from Palermo in the evening, for some torturous streets that have also made the navigator ”drunk”. Balcony with sea view (in the distance) and perfect bathroom. Breakfast is not huge, but still satisfactory and varied, sweet and salty ( only note: I would cover the stropped fruit with glass clock). Price in the standard. The hotel has a terrace which must be a pleasant place for relaxing in the evening in the summer. Finally, but to be emphasised with determination, the sublime courtesy of staff: gentle, courtesy and ready for any request. In particular, Mr Daniel, who we met more often, always smiling and sweeping, I would return to him without any doubt.

We were here four nights in early October. The season was almost over but the pool was still open so we had it alone.Our room in 3.stock very large and large balcony with beautiful sea view. Breakfast was also good for Italian conditions . The staff very friendly.In 7km distance the city of Agrigent with the valley of the temple,very worth seeing. In the direct surroundings of the hotel very delicious restaurants.

Truly wonderful B&B! The place is stylish and very comfortable. Barbara, the host/owner, is incredibly welcoming and gracious and helpful. The view from our home looked over the entire valley of the temples. The room itself was great. Comfortable. The bathroom, and especially the shower, was amazing. The balcony view of the valley was special. All quite perfect. Stay at the place if you can!! And the breakfast was as good as we have ever had at a B&B with a huge variety of local food from savory to sweet. All freshly prepared.

We stayed at the hotel first week of November coming to the end of season in Minori and booked before reading into the hotel as we found a good deal. It’s worth knowing before booking that the hotel does not have parking available and our parking costs equated to approx 100 euros for the week which we did not anticipate. Additionally the use of the pool was not available due to the time of the year which was frustrating as the temperatures were still as high as 22/23 degrees. Furthermore, the room was hot and the air conditioning units do not work after November, we were simply told to open the balcony doors for fresh air. It should be noted that the noise of the traffic outside the hotel even out of peak season made it feel like i was sleeping on an F1 track. The plug sockets were irritatingly situated in the room, only 2 available which was awkward when trying to charge phones and no where near the bed when relaxing. The hotel was spotlessly clean, with fresh bedding and towels every day - the housekeepers do a fantastic job there. All the staff were very pleasant and welcoming, I just wish we visited Minori in the summer to appreciate the hotel fully.
