Hotel berhampiran Chiesa di San Francesco da Paola, Agrigento

La struttura si trova in una posizione centrale di Agrigento ma abbastanza accessibile anche con la macchina, bella vicina piazza a 5 minuti a piedi si può trovare parcheggio libero o convenzionato con una spesa minima nel multipiano. La stanza era dotata dei vari confort, carina e ben arredata, unica pecca la luce automatica che si accende di notte al passaggio delle persona nel disimpegno del bagn, il letto comodo nella normalità. Mi ha colpito il pagamento delle bevande nel frigorifero e anche del caffè, ma capisco che per la struttura é un costo, sono scelte giuste per offrire un buon servizio. La colazione buona e su ordinazione entro la sera prima, la sala colazioni molto accogliente nel cortile patio della struttura. Gli Host cordiali e gentili educati pronti a forniti indicazioni sui luoghi da visitare e dove mangiare. Una scelta buona per chi vuole stare in centro storico ma anche andare a visitare i luoghi della cultura agrigentina.le chiese, la valle dei templi, etc. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Tutto molto bene, tranne che si deve dipendere dall’auto e il parcheggio che però è gratuito non è molto grande

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 Doric was absolutely an outstanding resort. Every room had a swimming pool (not just a dunk pool) with lounge chairs and a huge glass door opening up to the valley. The staff, especially Katia, could not do enough for us. Their service was second to none! The food was outstanding, the wine was delicious and the cocktails were superb! The grounds were impeccably manicured with a beautiful view of one of the temples on the other side of the valley. Looking forward to going back and spending a few more days in such a relaxing atmosphere.

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.

Beh, che dire dopo aver letto le recensioni, quasi tutte negative, stavo per annullare tutto, ma appena arrivato mi sono dovuto ricredere. Aria condizionata funzionante, piscina in perfetto stato, unica pecca acqua alta min 1,60 , mass. 1,90. Posizione ottima per una visita ai templi di Agrigento.qualcosa sulla pulizia, come foglie di palme secche, lasciate in giro, vicino al parcheggio, insomma con un pò più di attenzione avrebbe meritato le 5 stelle. Non mi pronuncio sul ristorante perché non ho pranzato, solo colazione sia dolce che salata.. Personale alla reception cortese e disponibile.

Great place! Very friendly staff and helped us when we had questions, also the facilities were excellent. Very close to the beach and not a far drive to the town of Montallegro or the bigger city of Agrigento. Rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was great and had many choices. Also the restaurant affiliated with Luna Minoica is delicious and a fancy treat if you want to indulge. We would definitely come back to stay here.

Our stay here at Mangia’s Torre Del Barone was the epitome of relaxation. A ten minute walk from the beach, a ten minute drive from town, and a few steps away from some great restaurants made for an easy and fun vacation spot. This is truly a great place to stay if you need to get away from the “hustle and bustle” of your daily life, and just enjoy a cocktail with some soft music by the patio. We saw plenty of large and small families, couples young and old, and people from all over the world enjoying their stay here. The absolute best part of our stay was, without question, the staff. To the management reading this, you should know that these people are the backbone of Torre Del Barone, and they are the ones who make it the truly exceptional place that it is. To say that “we were taken care of” is an understatement. We are not Italian speakers, by any means (we have been studying the basics on Duolingo— I can confidently order a cappuccino and that’s about it!) and your staff worked with us to ensure that we were understood and heard. They have happily and respectfully guided us through every request, even teaching us some Italian phrases along the way. You have a wonderful group of people working at Primo, and throughout this entire establishment; I hope you recognize their greatness, hard work-ethic, intelligence, and kindness. I commend your staff on their ability to show hospitality and love to a couple of Americans trying their best to get around your beautiful country. We will greatly miss Torre del Barone, Sciacca, and Italy/Sicily as a whole, and the people who made our honeymoon so very special. Arrivederci, With love! Nick and Sara D. SUPER special thank you to the staff who went TRULY ABOVE AND BEYOND each day to make us feel loved and taken care of: Carmen, Ignacio, Luca, Accursio, and Alessia. We will never forget you! Thank you to the rest of your exceptional staff, who we will miss dearly: Demarest, Giovanni, Kevin, Marilena, Sergio, Massimo, Michele, and Junior.
