Hotels near Tezenis, 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 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.

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.

We were here four nights in early October. The season was almost over but the pool was still open so we had it alone.Our room in 3.stock very large and large balcony with beautiful sea view. Breakfast was also good for Italian conditions . The staff very friendly.In 7km distance the city of Agrigent with the valley of the temple,very worth seeing. In the direct surroundings of the hotel very delicious restaurants.

By car, the hotel is free to park. On a small hill, it is very convenient to open. The room is quite big, there is a lift, the whole is the old-fashioned hotel in Europe, it is not bad, the hotel restaurant is OK, dinner and Breakfast is quite satisfactory. The hotel has a garden, which is said to be good, but these days it is very cold and there will be no shopping.

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

We stayed at the hotel first week of November coming to the end of season in Minori and booked before reading into the hotel as we found a good deal. It’s worth knowing before booking that the hotel does not have parking available and our parking costs equated to approx 100 euros for the week which we did not anticipate. Additionally the use of the pool was not available due to the time of the year which was frustrating as the temperatures were still as high as 22/23 degrees. Furthermore, the room was hot and the air conditioning units do not work after November, we were simply told to open the balcony doors for fresh air. It should be noted that the noise of the traffic outside the hotel even out of peak season made it feel like i was sleeping on an F1 track. The plug sockets were irritatingly situated in the room, only 2 available which was awkward when trying to charge phones and no where near the bed when relaxing. The hotel was spotlessly clean, with fresh bedding and towels every day - the housekeepers do a fantastic job there. All the staff were very pleasant and welcoming, I just wish we visited Minori in the summer to appreciate the hotel fully.
