Hotels Near Porta di Ponte in Agrigento

The Euterpe B&B can be described with one word: AWESOME. It is located on Viale della Vitoria facing the sea. With a beautiful promenade (reminded us of Nice, France) in front, walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. and only a 5 minute drive to the Valley of the Temples. A perfect spot in Agrigento. We were in Room 2...a very spacious room with a private balcony to sit and sip some Prosecco or just relax. Alessia is the ”chief cook and bottle washer” at the inn. She checked us in, provided us with a host of information on Agrigento, particularly regarding the Valley of the Temples, and she prepared breakfast for the guests. She is absolutely super! This is a must-stay spot in Agrigento...great wifi, exceptionally clean rooms, very well appointed and as I said an excellent location. Check it our for yourself, and I encourage you stay at the Euterpe...you won't be disappointed.

In a fairly busy piazza, this old hotel is nestled in the heart of the city, near restaurants and a short drive to the Valley of the Temples. For the money, this is a superior deal. Very good service, clean room with a terrace, and super breakfast all for €68 ! If you don’t need fancy but like tasteful understated charm, this is a very good place to stay. Parking can be a challenge but we parked on the street overnight and didn’t get ticketed. Check out was a breeze and they helped with luggage. A nice little living room fit drinks - honor system. We would stay again.

Villa La Lumia is a special place to stay. The family has been in this villa for over 200 years and the grounds are incredible with beautiful views of the Temples and the region nearby. Luigi and his parents/ family work with incredible staff to welcome and make your stay exceptional. The room we stayed in was part of the old stables and is an apartment done tastefully reflective of the vintage of the estate. The bed was king size and super comfortable as was the living room and the terrace outside our door. We walked to the Valley of the Temples(took a taxi back) and the museum on another day. Luigi recommended restaurants and made reservations for us but all our best meals were at the villa using their own and local products including fresh prawns. When we returned from the Scala del Turchi and the beach, the chef made us a great light lunch. There’s a bar with jacuzzis- and Milo who makes the best Negronis and cocktail snacks every day. We stayed 4 nights and loved it.

This is a beautiful little hotel in a terrific location — a convenient walk directly down to the Valley of the Temples less than 1km away. The hotel staff and owner are very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are bright and clean. The breakfast was prepared with great care, including some homemade jams! The staff asked about my dinner plans - I had a reservation already at a restaurant that overlooks the Valley of the Temples, but they wanted to be sure I was taken care of. They called my restaurant to ask that they reserve a table on the patio with a view of the temples, and despite the restaurant being very busy, I got the table! (The view was great!) That was very much appreciated! After checking out, I mistakenly left my passport behind in the safe in the room, and the hotel owner was so kind and met with me back at the hotel the next day to get it to me. I appreciated the extra hospitality!

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.

Stayed with a tour group. First impressions were good-really ornate smart lobby area but sadly went downhill quite quickly. Spiral staircase not very practical for a hotel when everyone comes with luggage. Beds too soft & squeaked badly. Soundproofing wasn't anywhere near good enough for the standard of hotel. Ordered to sit at specific tables at breakfast but not told about this on check in. Some items were not being replenished very quickly at breakfast & wasn't easy to see where to find what you wanted. Hotel on a busy road in an industrial area. Lidl supermarket next door, one pizzeria down the street, another is advertised but wasn't open when we looked. Otherwise very limited facilities in the immediate area. Evening meals are served at the hotel but no pizzas and menu choices there were had higher prices than any other places we ate in Sicily so didn't bother. Dinner service doesn't open until 7.30. Shame did not get to use the pool but was glad to only be staying one night. Would not recommend.

We only booked this place because we needed to leave early the next day to visit some sites. We spent the day at the beach and to finish the day we decided to return to the hotel and enjoy the pool. However, our fun was cut short as the guard on duty did not allow us to stay without a shower cap. Now, I have travelled to a bunch of countries and this was a first for me (born and raised in Rio de Janeiro). I did argue with the reception, but this was a hotel rule that only exists in their mind. After, that we didn't go in the pool at all. So we paid for a hotel with a pool and we were not allowed to use it. Rooms have old and broken furniture, and breakfast is least to say average. So, no reason to stay at this dump. I DO not recommend and I will NEVER go back to this place.

Ottimo Hotel, peccato la posizione. abbiamo avuto la fortuna di alloggiare nella suite. Due camere spazione, pulite e luminose, peccato per il bagno cieco e la grande terrazza condiva con un altra stanza, basta poco aggiungere dei vasi, una separazione minimale per evitare di trovarsi davanti alla propria finestra i vicini di stanza. Personale gentile ed attento. Posizione comoda per la visita alla Valle dei Tmpli, ma non se si volesse visitare la citta di Agrigento. La cena di classe nella norma come la colazione per un 4 stelle.

Arrived on a Sunday at 1.00 p.m. No bar, no food available. However room was ready but nothing in mini bar to eat. Bar didn't open until 3.00 p.m. Only serves drinks, crisps and ice creams. Restaurant didn't open until 7.30p.m. Lunch not available any day at resort. Room alright and bed comfortable. Hot water supply very erratic. Bathroom fittings not great. Had to ask for kettle, mugs and spoons to make coffees/teas. Housekeeping team good and cheerful. Breakfast deadly, totally lacking in imagination. Resort restaurant served good food but wonder when the menu was last reviewed/changed. Waiting staff warm and friendly in the main. Pool area good and pool itself not heated but in the hot weather that was not a problem. Adequate sunbeds, chairs and umbrellas. Excellent beach close by resort. A car is a must as places to eat in immediate vicinity of resort scarce. Also one will be needed to explore and there's lots to do and see. Key thing to know is that Sicily is the biggest island in the Mediterranean ( about the same size as Wales) so getting across to say Siracusa or Taormina is a three hour drive there and then back
