Hotels near Centro Commerciale Citta＇ dei Templi, Villaseta

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.

We were in a couple a night with a reservation at the last moment, and the owners were able to welcome us a few hours before check-in was available. The room is spacious, with searched finishes and well ventilated against the heat of the area. The next morning we took fresh breakfast of pasteries, at the time and with the products agreed together on the day of arrival. the famous Valle dei Templi. I felt here right away in my family and I know where to go back to visit the beautiful Agrigento in the future. That's very advisable!

Grata a chi prima di me ha onestamente recensito Esseneto rooms! Struttura impeccabile, rimodernata e pulitissima. A pochi passi dal centro ricco di locali. Ho apprezzato ogni particolare: bagni moderni e funzionali, materasso matrimoniale comodissimo, doppi cuscini, climatizzatore eccellente, vista panoramica. Un particolare e dovuto apprezzamento a Riccardo! Premuroso nell'accoglienza, ci ha messo a disposizione un garage per ricoverare la moto con cui viaggiavamo io e mio marito. Ogni mattina ci ha fatto trovare cornetti freschi tra cui quelli al pistacchio e dolci tipici alla ricotta in una deliziosa sala ristoro. Ci ha consigliato sui siti da visitare e su ottimi intrattenimenti. La struttura offriva pure un servizio SPA a richiesta ed è fornita di palestra. Insomma un vero e proprio gioiello incastonato in un'Agrigento che meriterebbe le stesse attenzioni che Riccardo, con passione, mette nella sua struttura. Sono stati 4 notti e 5 giorni di relax, cultura e buon cibo. Torneremo perché è stata un'ottima esperienza. Consigliatissimo.

Beautiful hotel on the sea. Great rooms, restaurant was good and the bartender, Gabrielle, was very friendly and made great cocktails. Pool is very special and the facilities providing access to the beach are spectacular. Room was very nice and the group areas are as well

For me this hotel give me one of the best vacation experience! The front desk staff two women and a young men when out of their way to help me whit every need I had even if it was out of there responsibility and or scope of work. I needed to travel to Palermo airport but the train authority was working on the rails we spend a lot of time figuring out what was the best plan of action to make this 3 hours trip a great experience w/o me spending 12 hours waiting for my flight at the airport. So I took the bus and spend only 2 hours at the airport to come back home Bravo!! Noeme the pool attendant and Alfonsa the room service ladie were particularly helpful in making my day go by smoothly and enjoyable wile sleeping well. The breakfast staff remember how you like your coffee after the fist morning, do I need to say more?

Small structure, very comfortable in the centre and almost ”inside” the railway station, which nevertheless does not have any disturbances and offers parking at a cost unrealized price inside the hotel (but free parking in a short distance). A quiet and secure area, though a little difficult to reach for the first time, coming from Palermo in the evening, for some torturous streets that have also made the navigator ”drunk”. Balcony with sea view (in the distance) and perfect bathroom. Breakfast is not huge, but still satisfactory and varied, sweet and salty ( only note: I would cover the stropped fruit with glass clock). Price in the standard. The hotel has a terrace which must be a pleasant place for relaxing in the evening in the summer. Finally, but to be emphasised with determination, the sublime courtesy of staff: gentle, courtesy and ready for any request. In particular, Mr Daniel, who we met more often, always smiling and sweeping, I would return to him without any doubt.

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.
