Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay at the hotel with spacious, clean, and quiet rooms offering a stunning view of the Greek Temple, especially gorgeous at sunset. The service was top-notch, with incredibly helpful and accommodating staff throughout the hotel. The location within the Archeological Park of the Valley of the Temples was impeccable, perfect for watching the sunset on the temples from the pool. The dining experience was delightful, with a great selection of quality products. Overall, it was a fantastic experience worth every penny.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a great location near the temples. However, the dining options were a bit overpriced with no view, and some aspects of the service could be improved.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms come with an outdoor space and expected facilities, but they are outdated and uncomfortable. The service was a bit hit or miss, with delays and mixed friendliness from staff members. The location is ideal for exploring the Valley of the Temples, but lacks external windows in some areas. The dining experience can be patchy with long queues and staff shortages, although the dishes are of high quality.
I couldn't have asked for a better location; being right next to the Valley of the Temples made it so convenient to explore the area. The rooms were exceptional with a stunning view from the balcony, but the dining options left something to be desired. The service was top-notch, and I felt truly taken care of during my stay.
The hotel had a mixed experience with service, ranging from friendly and attentive to some feeling bored. The location was excellent for exploring the nearby historical sites, but the dining options were overpriced. The rooms were spacious and had a balcony with a view of the Temple of Concord.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and offered a breathtaking view of a temple, but we didn't get the double bed we booked. The service was mostly brilliant, with staff available at any time. The location is outstanding for antique lovers, but the dining was overpriced and lacked vegetarian options.
I felt like I was among the gods speaking to me from ancient times in this magical location. The hotel offers truly memorable views of the temples from the terrace, making evenings with Sicilian wine an experience to savor. The tasteful and beautifully maintained property in the best area of Agrigento is perfect for immersing yourself in ancient history, although the closed dining room lacked a view.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a balcony offering Temple views, but they felt old and worn out. The service was polite and professional, although some activities were a bit disruptive. The location was excellent, especially for sunset views and easy access to the ruins. The dining was delicious but overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms, though a bit small, were very nicely appointed, and having a balcony was definitely worth the extra cost. The service was welcoming and helpful, with a few minor areas for improvement. The location was absolutely stunning, literally at the base of the hill from the temple of Concordia. The dining was fantastic, though slightly pricey, and I wished for a better view from the restaurant. The facilities were great, providing a comfortable stay with excellent amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and luxury. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, but the price was on the higher side for the quality provided. The service was exceptionally warm and helpful, though some improvements could be made with certain staff members. The location was breathtaking, right at the base of the hill from the temple of concordia, offering stunning views. The dining experience was a bit uninspiring, and the facilities were minimal despite the overpriced tag.
