Uma estadia perfeita
Pros:

Este hotel conseguiu ser absolutamente perfeito em tudo, além de ter uma localização abençoada por todos os deuses do Olimpo. Até a piscina ao ar livre está climatizada na temperatura ideal.

Cons:

No jantar, há um delicioso piano de fundo com uma seleção musical perfeita, porém, a gerência faz uma "barbecue party" movida a Tarantella e Funiculi - Funiculà que infelizmente contamina o clima perfeito do jantar à vista deslumbrante do Templo da Concórdia.

Amazing stay at Villa Athena
Pros:

I am sitting at the pool remembering the amazing dinner we had with Govanni in the garden with an amazing view of the Temples. I highly recommend the entire garden dining experience. The food was outstanding, the chef was primo and Govanni completed the experience with his loving charm. The most beautiful music served as a backdrop to a perfect evening. Highly recommended!!

Additionally, Alessandro is the most attentive and accommodating concierge we have had in Sicily. He has a magical ability to anticipate your every desire.

An Incredible Experience at the Villa Athena Resort
Pros:

Our stay at the Villa Athena Resort was spectacular. It stands out as a highlight on our multi-town exploration of Sicily. This 5-star resort sit inside the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Archaeological Park of the Valley of the Temples and offers breathtaking views of the Concordia Temple. We dined at the resort's restaurant the first night, enjoying the freshest fish and superb service while watching the Concordia Temple change colors as it was lit up against the night sky. The following morning, we purchased our tickets at the front desk and were escorted from our hotel to the gate entering the park -- it was that easy! We spent the entire day exploring these fascinating ruins, set amidst olive and almond groves. By the way, the Villa Athena Resort also has its own lush garden; the produce is used in their freshly-prepared foods. Special thanks to Alessandro, who went over and beyond to make our stay so wonderful.

Incredible experience,
Pros:

3 fantastic days in this beautiful hotel. Staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive throughout. The room (classic) was luxurious and well equipped with a balcony. The terrace restaurant was exceptional and atmospheric, the Sicily tasting experience in the kitchen garden was very enjoyable. Our massage at the spa was bliss and time by and in the outdoor pool awesome. And the location...wow! Didn't want to leave, a brilliant way to spend our wedding anniversary.

The perfect stay for a short trip to the Valley of the Temples.
Pros:

The location to explore the Valley of the Temples is unique and second to none. Breakfast is especially delicious and, like all the reviews say, their yogurt is some of the best ever tasted.

Fantastic
Pros:

The location was amazing with the view of the temple, the hotel in itself was fantastic, big room, lots of amenities, very clean and the staff was helpful and very nice. The swimming pool was also beautiful, clean and relaxing and the breakfast was incredible. Overall, our stay was great and I would definitely recommend it. We didn’t stay long so we couldn’t try everything, but there are different restaurants and activities being organized during the day.

Lash out and treat yourself, it’s worth it.
Pros:

This is a great place to stay to visit the park- the private entrance! So handy.
The dinner was excellent, we had the Gea Tasting menu- expensive but worth it. Best beef cheeks ever. Waiters cheery and helpful.
We parked in the 1st spot outside reception under the pine tree- huge mistake. Car was covered in sap. But this is the sign of a first rate hotel, the staff organised a car detail on a Saturday morning to clean the sap. Excellent service from them, handled very professionally.
Finally the best till last- a huge shout out to young mate Bruno at the pool. He is an asset! So attentive, and even remembered our drinks order ( mojito/campari spritz)- made our day at the pool even better. Bang up job Bruno you legend.

Cons:

Nothing. It’s a beautiful property.
Ignore other reviews. This is the review to read as Aussies don’t complain!
