Best Hotels near Museo Dell＇acqua, Agrigento

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

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.

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

Amazing place to stay for base to visit Valley of the Temples which is 20 minutes drive. We stayed in the presidential suite which was modern room on top level with modern amenities including kitchen, washer, dryer, Jacuzzi and sauna! The hot tub/Jacuzzi is outside with beautiful view of the city/cathedral. We ate at the on-site restaurant Le Traveggole which served amazing food. Overall we have no complaints. The breakfast was standard fare with good options for every taste. Valet parking was provided and appeared to be included with room rate as I wasnt charged extra. This is critical as parking is hard to come by in city. In addition check in by Mauricio was friendly and attentive. Directions are also provided by the hotel as GPS can be misleading. Their directions are spot on so pay attention to their emails. Overall great stay and highly recommend! Favara is small town that is a great base for visiting Valley of the Temples. There isnt much else to do but we enjoyed having late night drink at nearby bar/restaurant and having drink at rooftop/jacuzzi. Staff at this hotel are very attentive and helpful

Located very conveniently about 2 km from the Valley of the Temple entry gates, Baglio Della Luna is a great choice for convenience and ambiance. The hotel consists of an old tower, which houses 3-4 rooms, and a more traditional building which houses around 20 rooms. We were in a tower room, which afforded beautiful views of the valley and the Temple. The baglio is situated on beautiful, well manicured grounds with an equally beautiful courtyard patio. We were there for only one night to visit the Valley of the Temple, but enjoyed our stay. The dinner was quite good, bar service was good with an excellent and entertaining bar tender and generous drinks. The dining room is comfortably elegant, as was the sumptuous breakfast and beverages offered in the morning. The bagio is also a short distance from the beach, which is an easy 15 minute walk.
