Alba Palace Hotel

Our two-night stay at Alba Palace in Favara fit nicely into our planned tours to Valley of the Temples and Agrigento. Our accommodation with large jacuzzi was very comfortable. Rossano sent detailed instructions on how to get to the hotel. It otherwise would have been very difficult and complicated to find. The breakfast was perfectly acceptable, except that one morning they ran out of some hot items and did not replace. Unfortunately, the one dinner experience in Ristorante Le Traveggole was not particularly impressive given our high expectations. Perhaps this was due to the fact that they were entering low season, and the hotel also seemed very quiet.

Nice hotel with comfortable rooms. VERY difficult to find (not on satnav and incorrect on googlemaps). Instructions were sent which were incomplete and difficult to understand. Restaurant was inexplicably closed on a Saturday night as well as one other night of our three night stay. Closest restaurant was very average. The rest nearby were all closed. Power was off for 8 hours one day (we were not informed). Breakfast was good.

We stayed 1 night at the hotel to visit The Valley of the Temples. What we liked: - it was a very modern hotel, recently renovated, designed very tastefully and uniquely. - the service personnel was very attentive and friendly. We were offered an upgrade to a Junior Suite. - the hotel’s restaurant served us high-end food and beverages! - it has a cool wine cellar where you could do a wine tasting with previous reservation What you need to consider before booking a room here: - the hotel is located in a little town named Favara which has nothing really interesting to offer other apart from the hotel and it’s restaurant. The surroundings were full of waste and abandoned buildings. We did not feel really save nor comfortable walking around there. - except from the hotel’s restaurant, it lacks communal areas to relax. Regarding the poor surroundings, this would have been very appreciated. We thought that the jacuzzi and roof top shown in the fotos were communal but in principle they only are accessible for the Penthouse Apartment. However, since at our stay the penthouse was not booked we were offered to use the jacuzzi, which was very nice of the hotel team. - the breakfast was compared to the nice and sophisticated dining too simple. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to all who are planning to stop by Agrigento and visit the archeological park.

Best staff and amenities in my 50 plus year traveling life! Customer is #1. Restaurant is divine. Though difficult to find, once you are there, the staff goes out of their way to make this feel special. Food is great! Wine is great. Awesome!!!

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 prior to arrival 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

Very beautiful hotel, nice and modern infrastructure. Close by there are nice restaurants. It’s really in the middle of the town. This makes it also hard to get there (quite small streets - takes some skilful driving and navigating). We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace with jacuzzi.
