Best Hotels near Church Ss. Crocifisso, Comitini

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

We stayed one night here while visiting Agrigento Sicily . It is located about 3 miles from the center of the city . Parking facilities and easy check in . The gentleman at reception was very pleasant and our room was very clean , nice bathroom and comfortable bed . It was located next to a McDonalds with a play area for children that was quite noisy but in the evening it was quiet . The breakfast was typical tourist breakfast , just average . But the overall stay was pleasant and the hotel is very close to the Valley of the Temples a world heritage site . And it’s close to the center of town and shopping and sites and 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.

By car, the hotel is free to park. On a small hill, it is very convenient to open. The room is quite big, there is a lift, the whole is the old-fashioned hotel in Europe, it is not bad, the hotel restaurant is OK, dinner and Breakfast is quite satisfactory. The hotel has a garden, which is said to be good, but these days it is very cold and there will be no shopping.
