Hotels near Chiesa di San Francesco da Paola, Agrigento

This homestay is small but very new and clean. It is run by a couple. It is located in the old town of the city center. It is not easy to find. Contact the landlord before going. The more inconvenient thing is that there is a time limit for check-in and there is no after 7pm The front desk staff needed to call the landlord to get the keys. At that time, we had to charge us 10 euros for overtime. Later, after we booked a room with him, he waived the overtime as a discount for us. Only the husband and wife of the landlord can speak English. When we go there is an extra charge without breakfast, and there is a free cup of coffee. There is a kitchen but it is not open to residents. I might be afraid that the residents will break it. It's a bit strange. It's ok to simply spend the night.

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.

This is a beautiful little hotel in a terrific location — a convenient walk directly down to the Valley of the Temples less than 1km away. The hotel staff and owner are very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are bright and clean. The breakfast was prepared with great care, including some homemade jams! The staff asked about my dinner plans - I had a reservation already at a restaurant that overlooks the Valley of the Temples, but they wanted to be sure I was taken care of. They called my restaurant to ask that they reserve a table on the patio with a view of the temples, and despite the restaurant being very busy, I got the table! (The view was great!) That was very much appreciated! After checking out, I mistakenly left my passport behind in the safe in the room, and the hotel owner was so kind and met with me back at the hotel the next day to get it to me. I appreciated the extra hospitality!

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 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.

Located very conveniently about 2 km from the Valley of the Temple entry gates, Baglio Della Luna is a great choice for convenience and ambiance. The hotel consists of an old tower, which houses 3-4 rooms, and a more traditional building which houses around 20 rooms. We were in a tower room, which afforded beautiful views of the valley and the Temple. The baglio is situated on beautiful, well manicured grounds with an equally beautiful courtyard patio. We were there for only one night to visit the Valley of the Temple, but enjoyed our stay. The dinner was quite good, bar service was good with an excellent and entertaining bar tender and generous drinks. The dining room is comfortably elegant, as was the sumptuous breakfast and beverages offered in the morning. The bagio is also a short distance from the beach, which is an easy 15 minute walk.

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.

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.

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.
