Had a lovely time at the spa in Villa Athena
Pros:

I am staying at the Villa Athena and had a wonderful time at the spa today. I had a fabulous massage with Chiara who was exceptionally skilled in both the art of massage and in the aesthetics of transforming my feet with an expertly executed pedicure. She had a strong but gentle touch that melted away the knots in my neck and shoulders, I highly recommend a visit!

Un emplacement unique
Pros:

Emplacement exceptionnel, et notre suite avec terrasse était magnifique, avec une vue imprenable sur le temple.

Cons:

La salle du petit déjeuner dans une annexe, derrière le bâtiment principal… alors qu’il aurait suffit d’occuper l’espace du restaurant qui bénéficie d’une vue incroyable.

Great views, nice facilities, helpful staff
Pros:

Great views of the temples at all times, immersive experience, staying in the valley.

Very polite and helpful staff. Amazing location and ability to walk directly into the historic area. Lay by the pool while looking at historic temple an the hill behind you.

Ate at the restaurant overlooking the valley and temples at night. Great food.

Also had a great deep tissue massage at the spa (with Chiara). Great experience after days of travel.

Expensive hotel, but a unique experience

Amazingly well situated hotel
Pros:

A uniquely situated small luxury hotel. It’s on the grounds of the Agrigento temple site with a clear view of the main temple from the bar and pool area. Very nice rooms and excellent, albeit expensive, food. The only minor quibble, not a big deal, is that we found the restaurant staff to be almost overly formal, as if they were instructed to only take orders and serve food, but to engage in no small talk with guests. We found this with the entire wait staff over the course of multiple meals. But overall a great hotel.

Especialmente una pena que un Hotel con esa situación, no tenga ni las instalaciones ni el servicio de acuerdo a la cate
Pros:

Si lugar a dudas, la ubicación es excelente

Cons:

Los servicios no están en absoluto de acuerdo con un Hotel de esa categoría.
Contraté un servicio para un día, no me lo dieron, tuve que insistir y me lo dieron al día siguiente, y después intentaron cobrármelo dos veces

While we were only at the hotel for one night, the hotel was exquisite. In particular, Giovanni at the restaurant was most accommodating and friendly!
