    Our safe didn’t seem to work, also the shower hose was ripping off at the bindings and was splashing the water elsewhere.

    I loved the property. Even minor things didn’t bother how amazing it was! The breakfast is great, even a la carte. The views are stunning, if you choose the room with a view. We got there during Easter holiday and had an amazing garden grill set menu lunch with Italian style long table. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Property is absolutely beautiful and they had their own little path into the gardens and the UNESCO sight which I found to be exceptionally convenient. Parking was big and the whole property is just amazing.

    This hotel is beautiful, charming, unique, and the perfect location for visiting the Valley of the Temples. Tickets can be purchased at the hotel, and they have their own private access. Our room had a large balcony with a beautiful view of both temples and overlooking the pool. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was spotless. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious.

    It is expensive...so whether or not it is worth 3x other places in Agrigento will depend on your budget...

    Very nice stay. The breakfast is super! Tons of variety, even if the ordering system is a bit odd. The room is comfortable and the location near the temples is quite nice.

    Nothing, really.

    The location is extraordinary -- looking directly at two of the main temples from the balcony. It is hard -- impossible -- to imagine a more stunning view of classical Greek architecture from a resort. The service was excellent -- all staff at the resort and at the restaurants were friendly and efficient and helpful. They made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.

    We would argue that the price is worth the experience.

    The position of the accommodation was outstanding. If you are visiting the temples, then we would recommend staying here. They have a private entrance into the park. The room was lovely and we loved the view of the temples at night. We dined in the restaurant and, whilst pricey, it was an amazing experience. Staff were so kind and lovely. Breakfast was amazing! Bring a larger belt for your pants. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Wonderful.

    The only issue was a bus tour arrived as we were sitting in the lounge having pre dinner aperitif. Tour stood around us noisily, waiting to get allocated rooms, as we tried to relax.

    Beautiful setting and wonderful views of the Temples. Easy walking access to temples from the hotel. Friendly staff and delicious dinner. Breakfast was very impressive also.

    Of the 100 best things to do in life, staying at the Villa is one of them.

    It being January, the Villa's gardens were either closed or not blooming. I can only imagine what the gardens would look like in the Spring or Summer. Without a car, it was a 1/2 hour hike up the hill back to town of Agrigento and I didn't want to keep ordering taxis to make that trip. However the Villa is the closest of all Agrigento hotels to the temple complex and it was super, super cool to have a private entry path and gate from the Villa to the temple area.

    Much to my surprise and delight, I was upgraded upon arrival. Maybe because I had booked two separate rooms each for two nights or maybe because it was a slow middle of January time. Anyway, if you can and if your budget can, then book either Room 302 or Room 303. Absolutely stunning! Large rooms with a direct view of the largest temple at the complex. And that temple stays lit all night. Wake up at 3 am and just look out your window from your bed and there it is, a Greek temple all gloriously shining in yellow light. Very friendly and helpful staff at the Villa and their dining room served delicious food.
